towards elite rent seekers. Owners, not workers. Those folks don't risk anything. Their loans are guaranteed, they've got insider information given verbally at country clubs, laws don't apply to them and if all else fails we've given them so much wealth that if they go down they take everything with them.
Those you are referring to, is a very TINY minority of businesses and business owners out there in the US.
The majority of businesses and employers are SMALL businesses....they don't get any of those perks you are going on about.
The trouble is, it seems the govt on all levels is trying to make it even HARDER for the small business or independent contractor to work in the manner they are used to.
Not everyone wants to be a wage-slave, but for some reason, these days...even regular people are seemingly against those of us who work outside of the wage slave realm....instead of maybe looking to it as a means of escaping, and with some risk taking...to succeed and become more free and independent..
Geez, there are just some people out there, that just do NOT seem to like the idea of independent contracting.
Granted, it isn't for everyone, but there are a LOT of us out here who really enjoy the freedom for working vs time off, negotiating bill rates, and being in charge of our own destiny with regard to retirement and investment....and if Obama care would cut the strings a bit, back to being able to pick better fits for our medical insurance needs based on our individual needs.
Even if you don't agree with that last point, the rest should be valid for anyone to respect someone wanting and enjoying.
Govt and some entities seem to want to make it harder for small, even individual businesses and contractors to do well.
Why is that?
Hell, these days, I find that incorporating myself (I have a S-Corp), and doing a bit of extra paperwork, is the best way out there for me to keep the maximum of my hard earned money from the tax man.
I like to take off when I want/need....and don't have to "earn" time off hours...etc.
Again with the "I can't imagine" argument. How much time did you spend researching the distributions of names in the US before having your thought?
Actually, for much of my professional career, I've been working and responsible for many extremely large databases dealing with people and identity in fact.
One company I started with years back, started back in the day cutting binders of phone books, scanning them and using them in their databases used in the US to clean other company's databases (VISA, etc).....then there are the state, local and federal databases, etc....
What's that word for when you have stereotypes and incorrect assumptions based on race
Observation of facts?
Surely you're not trying to say that there aren't differences in the races both physically and culturally that can be generally observed by a neutral observer?
While I too would question the validity of something just using name and birthdate as identifying factors....
For the life of me, I can't imagine how this would affect "voters of color" more than it would any lighter skinned race.
Heck, with the colorful and imaginative names that blacks are giving their kids these days, I'd have thought that it would NOT target them, since they use so many uncommon spellings and uncommon names?
I'd have thought you'd have a whole lot more "Robert Cooper" vs "Shaquillia Jackson" born on any given date?
I guess my parents, whom I consider to be VERY good, nurturing and caring parents......would have been sentenced to death for how I was raised.
As a kid, for the most part...if I wasn't home grounded, or doing homework, I was out running wild with my friends having fun. Skateboarding, biking, building ramps to jump, or out in the woods not far from us.
Hell, during the summer, I was often alone at home while they worked...I just had to call Mom to check in every couple hours when I was young, but as I got older I was out and about on my own, growing up and having fun running around with friends.
Claiming performance reasons without performance review or HR documentation of performance problems can be basis for lawsuit in many states.
I actually was wondering "why" Tesla and co was giving any reason for letting people go.
Aren't most states "right to work" states? In those states you can quit or be terminated for no reason at all, and in most cases, no formal notice time has to be given, although 2 weeks is customary.
Only usually at night, or sometimes after school when I got in and cartoons were on, but not all the time.
I often got home, jumped on my skateboard and was off with my friends skating, or biking around, playing kill the man with the ball or football in someone's yard....or in summer at the neighborhood pool.
Hell, I was well into high school before we got cable in our neighborhood, so, until then we only had like 3 channels to pick from, so, no...it wasn't TV all the time.
I spent most of my youth outside the house hanging with my friends and doing things with them IN person, or dating girls and trying to get laid.
Sometimes the distractions at home are worse than at the office. Three pre-teen children, for instance, can add quite a bit of disruption.
Well, during "work hours" they are in school, right? (at least when not summer).
Also, you could do what my parents did when I was young and he had work to do at home (usually on weekend)....I'd be told to essentially shut the fuck up, you're dad is working....go outside and play if you can't be quiet...etc.
But with nicer language than I used here...hahaha.
I hope I never have to go to an office again....SO much better being at home. And, with teleconference and all....especially in IT, there's really no need ever to have to get up, dress, drive, park and go to an office to work, IMHO.
I'm actually SOOOO glad they didn't have this shit or cameras on everyones' person when I was growing up.
I actually got to go outside and play and use my imagination, and no one to track me or take incriminating evidence of me while I acted upon said imagination....
Coworking offers a solution to the problem of isolation that many freelancers experience while working at home,
Hmm....rather than a problem, I thought this was a BENEFIT of working from home, away from the distractions of the office, not to mention NOT having to drive and park somewhere...?!?!?
Yep, I've seen photo cards that USDA has had in the past that were samples of what a "prime" cut of a ribeye was supposed to look like.
The old ones were downright pink from the intramuscular fat, whereas there is hardly any flecks of fat to be seen in todays prime cuts as compared to back then.
That's why today's beef is MUCH less flavorful than beef a few decades back. We've bred out the intramuscular fat where the flavor is. I remember eating beef as a kid and it had a MUCH better flavor than it does now.
Pork too is already leaner than it used to be....reducing it more makes it less flavorful.
That's the first thing I thought about when I read this, less flavor in pork.
We've already killed beef off with flavor, having less and less intramuscular fat.
You look at a picture of a Prime cut of beef from the 50's even to the late 60's compared to today's "prime" cuts, and you see a HUGE difference in fat content.
You know...it would seem like an obvious first step would be to move the company the fuck out of Russia if they wanted to start generating trust of their product again.
Hm....flamebait?
Must be a large russian faction on slashdot these days?

So, what do I care?
Time to fill the tank and drive/boat/motorcycle around and enjoy it while I still can!!
Life is short....
Oops, yes...I actually meant "at-will".
Been a long day....
This is slashdot after all, haha

Where do they do this?
Err....go outside and play with their friends?

What is "co-working space".....and how is it a business?
Less flavor.
Fat in meat == flavor.
That's why today's beef is MUCH less flavorful than beef a few decades back. We've bred out the intramuscular fat where the flavor is. I remember eating beef as a kid and it had a MUCH better flavor than it does now.

That fat is flavor.
How about just NOT using face or print to open, and just keep using a fairly complex password.
And...keep your phone locked at all times requiring that password to open.
