If you're hourly, always keep a copy of your hours. Most bosses _will_ try to fuck you on hours, they won't do it on every check. You must continually spot check.
It's really amazing, how their 'errors' always go one way.
As a consultant I've honestly billed 30+ hours in a day, without double counting. 15 of those hours were travel time. Didn't cross the dateline at exactly midnight, but close enough.
When I was a kid those of us that worked at 'Worlds of Fun' (an amusement park in Kansas City) discovered that their computerized payroll was STUPID.
We never clocked out and got paid for 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. Some on the night grounds crew slept under the bridges, others and the day crew bought themselves season passes to exit and enter as customers (you couldn't get out the employee route without clocking out). Good times.
Eventually they figured it out (it wasn't still going on 3 years later, when my younger brother worked there), but there were no consequences. Even though it had to be easy to find with a computerized report.
I've only found one way to get a decent price from a dealer. It depends on you needing just a 'transportation special'.
Wait until the wholesale auction car mover shows up, then go to the backlot, find a wholesale car that's acceptable and offer them $50 more than the minimum bid (which will be posted in the car window).
They won't take it initially, point out how much hauling costs and auction commissions are, say 'tick tock' and point out that you aren't buying another car from them if the car goes on the hauler. Don't talk to any sales scum (commish queers the deal), go straight to the head sales scum and make him the offer.
Any tire can go flat. The fact remains that 'road bike' tires are not appropriate for riding over roadside debris.
Mountain bike tires, even those with low rolling resistance centers have much thicker rubber tread than road bike tires. Also room for liners and heavy duty tubes inside the tires. And the pressure is low enough that slime leaves them rideable, even with most punctures. To say nothing of the advantages of not having to glue your tires to your rims or stitch them up.
But that would interfere with the shell heads rolling 'fashion statements' and the constellations of rationalization (I have to ride in the traffic lane) around them.
Because the ACLU legal cases that emptied the loony bins (before Reagan closed them) have not been reversed.
And from a social POV that's good. The cost of homelessness is less than the cost of government locking up 'inconvenient people' with committal powers.
Because the shelter won't let them _stagger_ in and out. They almost all have rules against being constantly, completely fucked up in the shelter.
How about we put them on 'public land' right in front of your house? They're not hurting anyone, right?
The problem is that if you give government the authority to 'commit' loonies, they use it to 'commit' dissidents.
I say recriminalize bumming. Put them in jail if they can't maintain. For objectively bad behavior: roadside bumming, drunken walking in traffic, day drinking in the park, pissing/crapping on the streets etc etc.
Being an alchi puts you at a huge disadvantage when dealing with someone who doesn't trust anyone who doesn't drink. But what are you going to do about that? Best bet is have someone else deal with that client.
Basically the same as dealing with thumper, send in another, to humor him.
It's about 150 PSI tires. Most of those can't handle the gravel and glass that build up in the bike lane, though kevlar tires and heavy duty tubes can get them over most routine broken beer bottles. Instead they chose to be rolling roadblocks.
They have to get all spandexed up and ride an entirely inappropriate bike for traffic, so they can play 'tour de france'.
Not every road bike rider is an asshole, but virtually all _asshole_ cyclists ride road bikes and wear riding costumes.
Monopoly is like fascist, it's just a word that leftist throw around to describe 'things we don't like'. It's supposed to end the discussion and start the circle jerk.
You get about $14K per person currently on Social security retirement (about 60 million or 20% of the population). To get that number you have to assume nobody but the retired will keep any UBI.
And you haven't even started employing all the otherwise unemployable current government workers.

AC has obviously never bought a house and should shut the fuck up.

Gotta move them further than that. I suggest the Utah wilderness, far from roads, water sources (or liquor stores).
Paid a pittance and they still aren't worth it...sucks to be them.

Put a strong magnet on your frame, by the crank. Strap it on with pull ties, if you've got a nonferrous frame.

They are currently ridiculously overpaid for anti-work.

You're not supposed to acknowledge that the cheats are working full time for cash. Didn't you get the memo?

Fraud is built into all human societies. If your system can't cope, throw the system out, it's broken and can't be fixed.
Nobody on UBI belongs in high rent districts. Nobody. They can move or starve, I don't care which.
The key flaw of socialism remains: Excessive concentration of power. Nobody has found a fix yet.
You're one of those oversaturated shysters whose market value is actually going down.
The ones that make $400/hour + are just selling influence and legally secret criminal advice (being 'criminal attorneys').
