If you possess it, you bought it or otherwise obtained it, which is possession and trafficking in a controlled substance, so sure, they can throw your silly ass in jail, same as if you had prescription narcotics without a prescription. So who's the ignorant one now?
As I pointed out, penalties for 1st and second degree murder, manslaughter, etc, are well known. These are major crimes. Lesser crimes, sure, not so much. But locals probably know what a speeding or parking fine looks like, and if they watch the news, they'll see what crooks get for various offenses, so they have an idea. Of course, if they live in a bubble world, that's their own doing.
You've got a point - she'd be better off in jail than working for Yelp. No worries about how to get to and from work, or ending up homeless, or having to watch what she says about "da man", 3 meals a day...
The photo was NOT showing anyone drinking. It was an unopened bottle. Get the facts before making accusations. Do you know it wasn't a gift?
The "sexual commentary" was both lame and tame by today's standards, and certainly not offensive unless you hate tacos.
Eggs Benedict is NOT luxury. And english muffin topped with bacon and a poached egg, with some sauce on top, is hardly any fancier than an Egg McMuffin.
Drug use off the company dime is not the company's business. This being San Francisco, I doubt all of Yelp's management would pass a pee test.
She complained about not being able to take company food home because, like many of her co-workers, she's finding it impossible to make ends meet. Everyone hits the snacks, because nobody can afford to eat properly on their pay.
So stop being such a suck-up to Yelp, a company that probably deserves to die sooner than later because of their shake-down business model.
So, people aren't allowed to post during breaks or lunch? Come on. And nowadays, pouring purple sauce on her taco being a preferred way to get in the mood for sex is pretty tame. As for the bourbon, was she drinking it on the job? If not, so what? (Though I imagine a job like that is enough to drive people to drink).
Never said that the examples I gave were all about her story. There are too many libtards out there who think that the minimum wage is a ripoff, living wages are only for those who somehow "deserve" it, and that anyone who tries to change things for the better is a whiner.
People in low-paying jobs don't pay anywhere near 1/3 of their pay in taxes. It's called progressive taxation because the more you earn, the higher the tax rate. Get a clue.
It was almost 10 years ago, but the base pay was $95 (tax free), parking (if you drove to the courthouse - and indoor packing during deliberations), Free breakfast (lots of pastries, etc), a decent free lunch (and once a week an outing to a really good restaurant with things like buffalo cuts and wine), and some more snacks for the afternoon.
And if you were in a union that had a clause saying you were paid during jury duty, you could double dip, without having to show up at work.
So when I hear of people not getting anything for the first 10 days, and something like $15 a day thereafter, it's no wonder people run away from jury duty.
You're also allowed to appeal a finding of guilt. Like here, where the appeal court ruled that they had been wrongfully convicted. And then there's pardons for convictions under the act, like the one Clinton gave on his last day in office.
The really big question is, is the Espionage Act even constitutional?
We have enough stupid libtards who think that it's just fine to have a race to the bottom, and if you're on the bottom, too bad, you agreed to the pay and conditions, so shut your mouth because there's many others who are equally desperate.
The hollowing out of huge sectors of many counties economies because of so-called "free trade agreements" is finally coming home to roost.
Never claimed that my personal setup is the one that everyone should use. I was pointing out the FACT that it's easy to do Java development without a bloated hand-holding IDE (see the subject line). So what fallacy have you just engaged in? Hmm... where do I start...
What is the big deal have about posting their address on the Internet? It's already available through plenty of public records, and we even used to have these things called telephone books that gave not just your address, but your phone number too. Do you like living in a world of wimps who want to keep the illusion of their pretend-privacy rather than seeing how things really are?
Posting the boss's home address is really, seriously, a non-issue in today's world. Anyone who wanted it could get it. Ditto with a picture of the house, thanks to google street view.
No - those are the ones who actually made it out of the war zone by boat, etc. Never said anything about those in camps in a war zone - which would be in Syria, not in Europe.
So, where in the US are you going to find an impartial jury for THIS case? That's pretty much impossible, unless the juror has been in a decades-long coma.
A fair trial? When a murder conviction against a mentally handicapped man is allowed to stand even though the JUDGE had to keep waking up his public defender lawyer because the lawyer was snoring too loudly? The appeal court said he had a fair trial so it must be true, even though it obviously isn't.
Or all those murder convictions that get tossed years later because DNA evidence proves it was someone else?
You are SO full of shit. The 6th amendment guarantees the right to a criminal trial, including the right to an impartial jury, the right to a lawyer, the right to know who your accusers are, and the right to a speedy trial:
Amendment VI
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.
The 7th amendment is about civil cases.
Pretty bad when a Canadian has to correct an American on their own Constitution. Then again, it does tend to happen a lot.
Not necessarily. He has the defense of it being in the public interest, as well as his duty as a citizen to report criminal activity at an international scale.
So everyone who pickets their employer because they want to move work out of the country should also be fired? Everyone who publicly criticizes their employer for unsafe practices that endanger the public should get fired? Or, in this case, anyone who publicly points out that wages paid are too low to survive in San Francisco should get fired?
Go move to Qatar - they're looking for slave-wage laborers who are ready to die in droves for a pittance, because if they complain they get thrown in jail and kicked out with no wages. Sounds like your kind of place.

How do you know an AC is American?
Simple. They don't know the American Constitution. :-)
If you possess it, you bought it or otherwise obtained it, which is possession and trafficking in a controlled substance, so sure, they can throw your silly ass in jail, same as if you had prescription narcotics without a prescription. So who's the ignorant one now?
Go buy a clue. Please.

I've always backed labor. I'm Canadian, not American :-)

You're allowed to defend your actions. Plenty of those accused have.

Anyone watching Law and Order, etc., knows about jury nullification. It's part of the culture now.
Most (maybe all) TIPP countries have juries.
And she was pointing out that the employer's expectations were unreasonable. What's good for the goose ...
No - those are the ones who actually made it out of the war zone by boat, etc. Never said anything about those in camps in a war zone - which would be in Syria, not in Europe.

What a crock. Sure you don't work for Yelp's HR department?
Here's the post in question.
