"Don't always" is much better than the employer's "never."
If all you've ever gotten from your employer was "never" than the problem isn't your employer. I've been in the workforce for 42 years, and had good experiences with many employers, and never once needed a union to get ahead.
You're spot on regarding UAW. I grew up in Detroit, and saw it first hand with many family and friends...it was mostly mob run. Additionally, the grocery store union that my mom had to join (and was eventually a steward for) was pretty useless as well. They did virtually nothing for the dues that the clerks were required to pay from what was already essentially minimum wage.
My gel type earphones (Bose noise cancelling) fit snuggly and you can hardly feel them once in place. They also reduce the noise level to a point that I can actually snooze in economy as long as I'm not being bumped by some clown or rugrat.
Yeah, yeah. But in the big scheme of things, how much do you think it actually lost them? My guess is that it won't be but a fraction of a percentage in their quarterly report.
If they're not spending it, it should be going back to the shareholders.
Well, that's a cute opinion that's not based upon anything legally compelling. How, as a shareholder, would you know if they don't have future plans to spend that money? You do realize that getting the cash back would also lower the value of your shares by a similar amount, right?
There's a big difference between competing and monopolistic behavior. One is good, the other not so much because it stifle's innovation and harms consumers.
It's called a 1 ton safe, can be onsite and yet for all intents and purposes it is offsite protected by thick steel walls and insulation as a final layer.
No, no, no. The safe is fine, but that's not going to help you when there's a flood...Florence anyone? Natural disasters are one of the primary reasons you go offsite...and not nearby. How about the World Trade Center...would your safe have been safe there?
We punish those who commit abuses. We tend to not ban things that can be abused.
Um, sort of. We make rules based upon those abuses, and those rules frequently inhibit the rights of the non-abusers. Think TSA, gun control, speed limits, HOAs, etc.
I'm totally in favor of self driving cars for anyone who thinks they should be behind the wheel while operating their cell phone, putting on make-up, reading the paper, etc. For the rest of us, I don't ever want one...never, ever.
Clearly (no color intended), color is a parameter, one of many, in the description of anyone. There's nothing racist about describing the color of someone's skin, or for AI to use it in identifying someone. The fact that you can't accept that says more about the chip on your shoulder than about the facts of the matter.

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity, but don't rule out malice."
Hanlon's razor should apply here. Backdoors make law enforcement's job easier, so it's no surprise that most everyone in that business favors it. But that's where we all need to speak up and vote for those who will protect our rights.
I live in the northern VA suburbs, and in '96 bought a $185k townhouse about 15 miles from my office because that's what I could afford. Several years and a promotion later, I had a real-estate agent look for something closer to work. I gave them the parameters of within 5 miles of the office, and up to $250k, and similar size to my existing place. Couldn't do it....looked for a couple months and gave up, because the homes close to work were just that much more expensive.
I don't know why people continue to hate on those of us stuck in the burbs. I tried.
"(Also... it baffles my mind that there are people who still use legacy AOL accounts.)"
Why? I know at least half a dozen folks who still use AOHell. I even still have a 3 letter account name there, but haven't logged in in about a year. BTW, Oath has taken over the AOL campus near me.

Really? A whole hour? So 1/8760th? Well, there goes their five nines.

Kim Kardashian's ass for the wobble.
I made the same assumption, but the number seemed too high. Washington is full of cheap whores.
Having lived in the DC burbs since '82, I've yet to find the cheap ones. Could you please send directions?

Know imagine the dumbest person THEY know.
Okay, I have a target in mind know.

There is more than one IQ scale...you can wiki it. Oh, and they do exist.
I have worked for companies that had catered meals, free soda, laundry service, sky diving bonding trips, etc
Me too, during the internet bubble, but not in the last ~15 years...have you? I get free coffee and oxygen though.

Oh, and FU for calling me a racist.

Twitter is making too much money to boot Trump. That just ain't gonna happen. In fact, they relish the drama, just as the media does.

Seriously? You think the proportion of bad apples is different between the two? I'd defy you to show any statistical evidence.

AOL is part of it already...Oath took over their campus here in VA.
Um, get out of the basement once in a while, and you'd see it in many people's mail. AOL too.

And don't forget about @AOL...Oath has taken over the AOL campus.
