HOW can a business afford to have employees off for that long.
And, if a business CAN afford to have employees off that long, do they have too many employees working
for them?
We use to have carriage makers...the automobile replaced them.
Use to make wax candles, we don't do that either.
A lot of automobile manufacturers have replaced somewhat overpaid labor with machines.
Low skill jobs being replaced by machines isn't hard to imagine.
Considering the ton of youtube videos where kids working these jobs are screwing around,
throwing food on the floor, taking a bath in the sinks and what not, I don't blame them. These
are the same low skilled people that complain about a "living wage". If they don't want to
better themselves in society, then they will be out of a job. They want to party, use/sell drugs,
get tattoos, wear their pants low, have 4 or more babies by as many women, and then when they
age into their 20-30's...they bitch about not being able to hold a job that might actually pay the
bills! Life is hard, but it's a hell of a lot easier when you figure that out!
Ok, this will show my age...
I don't really remember it, but my parents (who will NOT allow me to have it), have a photo of me
during Glenn's historic flight. I was doing the "potty training" back in '62 and didn't want to miss
the flight, so I grabbed my potty chair, brought it into the living room, sat it right in front of the
television set (glorious old Zenith black & white 19" model) and we BOTH had a blast off.
They have shown me the photo from time to time over the past 50 odd years. I'm just glad I grew
up in the era BEFORE smartphones/youtube/social media, so I don't have THAT following me around
like the younger generation does today.
Until the government starts placing a HUGE fine, ban or some other way to REALLY hurt these
azzhats, you think they care? They'll just spend that much money paying off senators, congress and
who ever else it takes, slap them on the back, laugh all the way to the bank.
I dropped at&t about 10 years ago, haven't looked back. On a side note, I switched to straight talk about
4 years ago, but still use the at&t network on my sim card since for me, their coverage is better than the
rest.
We get all four seasons, sometimes within the same 24 hour period. And, in some rare instances, within the same
couple hours!
We keep a coat in our vehicles until after Memorial day. We had snow last year in MAY. We've had tornadoes
after thanksgiving. We've had rain, hail, thunderstorms & snow in the same night.
An umbrella that can tell us when it will rain? Yeah right.
Every set of headphones should have a label...
"Warning, if you are STUPID enough, to turn the volume to 11, do not come crying to
us saying our headphones made you deaf. We do not reward STUPIDITY".
Screw political correctness!
wireless earbuds, adapters and what not.
I'm not a fan of Apple or Samsung. In my opinion, BOTH are overpriced to the point I can
find a good quality phone,with similar features for HALF the cost.
What they do is find candidates graduating, from SMALL colleges, or schools that are not located in the New York, San Fran, Seattle
areas. You know...flyover country. What sounds like a LOT of money for someone from the midwest, ISN'T really a lot of money,
when you factor in what it costs in some of those cities to live. The rent for a tiny studio apartment in those cities, will rent you a
VERY nice size 3-4 bedroom house out here in the midwest. Plus, the cost of auto insurance, food, travel etc are many times what
it is in the midwest.
So, a 70,000 salary in a LARGE city, it's really that much, compared to the cost of living.
Everyone likes to champion the speeds in Japan, South Korea, Europe, England etc, compared to the USA.
Granted, the ISP's in the USA aren't what you would call consumer friendly by any means, but, look at the
build out costs associated with running FTTH in the USA?
Hell, you can fit the entire countries of Japan, South Korea, England and Europe INSIDE the land area of the
USA.
Just Texas for example. You have two cars parked at the North Texas/South Oklahoma border. One Driving
north, the other south. The one driving north will get to Canada, before the one driving south will get to Mexico.
In other words...the USA is SPREAD OUT.
I don't care.
My previous phone, a Huawei Mate2, was "stuck on" jellybean 4.3 for over a year before they pushed out (skipping KK)
to 5.1
Oh there were betas, cooked roms and what not, but I stuck with 4.3, because my phone worked perfectly. No problems.
In fact, I probably would have left it on 4.3, had Huawei not had an easy way to push it back to 4.3, from 5.1.
5.1 was very stable.
My new phone (about 3 months ago) a Huawei Mate8, came with 6.0MM. Huawei says 7.0N will come to it around the 1st
Qtr of 2017, but, even if they don't, won't matter. It's very stable, and I never have any issues.
I use 1500-2000 minutes on the phone per month, tons of web, mp3's, photos, what not and not one issue. All apps run,
no FC's. As long as a device is suppose to run as intended, I don't give a flip about what OS is on it.
People are ALWAYS giving up freedom, for security.
Bunch of sheep! Way I look at it is if you were dumb enough to loan your car
to someone who wasn't responsible enough to take care of it, you deserve what you get.
We gave up freedoms (USA) LONG ago...people willingly click accept with every app they
download, every computer program they install, shoot, every time they turn on a television,
talk on the phone, use a computer, and pretty much BREATHE.
Orwell was right in 1984, just a couple decades off, that's all.
I was behind a YOUNG couple at a self checkout in a grocery store. She had TWO items. She scanned the item
and it didn't work, then she scanned it 3 more times before it took. Then she LAYS IT BACK on the rubber mat.
Scans the 2nd item and of course the machine started complaining about it not being correct. You have to
place it IN the sack because that is how it knows. The WEIGHT determines it. When you scan an object, it knows
the weight. After she scanned the 2nd item and then placed both in the sack, she sits her purse on the table too.
It's starts complaining again. She picks it up, inserts her chipped card, and pulls it out and then inserts it again.
I'm sitting there just shaking my head. She then plays with her phone, shows something to her boyfriend and by
this time I'm thinking about saying something, but from their youth, and they were wearing college clothes I was
thinking if I said something, they would have to run off to their safe space.
It amazes me that kids that should be "connected" with all of this tech had that much trouble with a self check out.
My mom is in her 80's and handles this stuff like no ones business.
The only good thing is I'm approaching 60 years old, so by the time (hopefully 20+ years or longer from now), I'll be sitting
in a chair, spitting up and wearing diapers, watching wheel of fortune and mumbling to myself and won't care.
I only stop at stations that say no ethyl in our gas, or whatever.
I don't want that crap in my Mustang. Not from a performance/non performance aspect.
But more of a I don't want my fuel system ruined! I have a 2011, which does not have
any flex fuel, bio fuel crap labels. I ONLY drive my car on the weekends. I have a car
given to me by my employer to drive Monday through Friday. In other words, my personal
car is a "weekend" car. Living in the midwest, when it rains, snows etc, I DO NOT drive
my Mustang. I've driven Mustangs for over 35 years, and they just do NOT like anything
really other than sunny days with DRY pavement. In the winter, my car might set for two
weeks or more, without being driven. With the nature of the corn gas(alcohol) that loves to
ROT the rubber gaskets and what not of fuel systems, I'd rather not have that crap flowing
through the fuel lines.
"Bio" fuel is nothing more than the corn industry, paying off the EPA, politicians and what not,
in a way to JACK UP the price of corn. Also, who the h&ll came up with the brilliant idea of
using a FOOD CROP, and not only a food crop, but a STAPLE crop like CORN, as a FUEL.
Ask any kid...they would GLADLY give up sugar beets before giving up things like corn on the
cob, frosted flakes, 99% of the other corn based cereals, not to mention pop corn. Yeah, the
corn for fuel is a different type of corn, but, if the price of that corn pays out more, corporate
farms will plant more "fuel" corn that "food" corn. Other countries have used sawgrass, sugar
beets and what not, but the corn industry here, has suckered (payed off) those that make the rules,
to use corn, instead of something else.
Several law firms, including Bloomfield Hills, Michigan-based Barbat, Mansour & Suciu PLLC, have filed lawsuits against the four retailers after separate testing failed to find aloe in the companies’ private-label products. They’re seeking class-action status and restitution for all the customers who they say were misled.
Also, some testing using the method used, will not detect aloe. My guess is there will be testing by the supplier.
Oh come on...anyone believing in ONE website is nuts to begin with.
Inside the USA, hell, you can't trust any of the news on the left or the right.
It's all political in nature, to serve their propaganda. Anytime I see a story
that claims one politician, killed, raped, stole something, I'll search it out.
That includes sites OUTSIDE of the USA.
You know what they say...what they DON'T print, speaks volumes.

HOW can a business afford to have employees off for that long. And, if a business CAN afford to have employees off that long, do they have too many employees working for them?
Any uber "customer" should be nothing more than a random number generated by uber when you request their services.

If the conditions are that bad, QUIT, go somewhere else! "But there isn't anything else"...and that's Amazon's fault?
Is anyone holding a gun to your head, forcing you to drive for them?
Go to your safe space and have a nice cry!

Good luck getting goods to your city.
Betcha they would be on board with a nationwide gun registry.

You'd have to be a fool, not to know that Google slants results. It's how they make money.
