You might call it a political suicide bombing?
It’s not about that. It’s making the statement: condem Israel and promise an arms embargo or we’ll spoil the election.
That’s all Kamala has to do and the Jill problem will be over.
Exactly.
Its applying leverage to the party saying meet these criteria or get spoiled. It’s basically a union for protest votes, and it’s effective. Which makes it extremely important in the current two party system because it’s the only way certain issues will get addressed.
It’s not about getting seats at the moment. With the two party system that’s not a pragmatic use of resources. Until we have ranked choice voting, they seem to believe the best use of resources is what they are doing. Give Dems an ultimatum to pull further left or get spoiled.
Get some smart bulbs and set them to a timer. The lights coming on helps wake you up naturally since your body thinks the sun is coming up.
No you don’t. Keep Bernie around.
They are identical, it’s the same thing from opposite sides.
And somebody to hate. It’s so ugly how young men easily come together to hate a person or group. It gives them a sense of togetherness and ‘not it’ at the same time.
The industry absolutely dodges taxes on tips. It’s well known that you need to report 8% of your sales to avoid an audit, so that’s what you report. As a server I’d make 15 - 18%. So I’m paying taxes on only half my tips, which make up the majority of my income.
Tips are a weird issue here. You can see why employees in this industry want to keep them, but also why it’s problematic when talking about liveable wages.
I worked for tips for years. Bartending and serving from my first job at 16, all through my 20s. Let me give an example of when this became an issue.
I’m waiting tables at a restaurant. Make minimum wage in CA which is like $10 I think? Doesn’t matter most of my income is tips. I’m realisticly making closer to $30 - 40 with tips. We share some with bussers / dishwashers because they support us. Kitchen staff is making like 25 an hour. More than twice our wage but still less than us accounting for tips. Kitchen wants a raise, restaurant makes us share tips with kitchen too to make it “fair”. We’re upset.
New CA minimum wage passes. $15 minimum wage, includes tip protection stating you cannot oblige servers to share tips. Servers got a raise twice, our hourly wage went up from 10 to 15 and we stopped sharing tips with the kitchen. Huge boon. Kitchen staff now making less, just the $25 no shared tips. Kitchen staff decries bullshit, demands a raise, restaurant says no way I can give you a raise now that I have to pay all the servers, bussers, and bartenders more.
Then you realize the serving staff / kitchen staff, at least in CA, is almost perfectly split racially. Mexicans, Latinx, and Black folks in the kitchen, white folks serving and bartending. It’s already an issue of fairness, just adding the additional racial observation which makes it downright problematic.
What are you talking about? I take hour long video game breaks and nap breaks in addition to lunch. I probably actually code for like 3 hours a day, but I get more done in those 3 hours after charging up than if I’d sit there staring at code for 3 hours.
What’s funny is when I space out looking at my other monitor folks in the meeting just assume I’m working.
I schedule an hour for lunch and play video games during meetings.
Unexpected withdrawal? We’d all been calling for it for months. Trump litterally can’t fathom bowing out.
There won’t be quality regulations than mean anything. There are going to be a lot of profiteering developers lining up to build tanks housing as cheap as possible. If an inspection shows it’s too low of quality are they going to miss the target to rebuild or just let it through?
I’m not saying this isn’t good. Just saying it’s going to be “the projects”.
How many cheap new homes have you been in?
Those are going to be some shitboxes.
That’s not cowardice, it’s pragmatism.
I just hate all their separate OSes. I’d buy an iPad pro if it ran osx. I’d buy this thing if it ran osx. I’m not buying a powerful $3k computer that can only run apps.
