If Biden stepped down and Joe Schmoe from Fucking, Indiana was elevated to presidential candidate for the Democratic party, they'd be known by 80% of the country in 24 hours. The "too late" narrative continued to be pushed multiple times until it was actually too late. I think this the 4th "too late" segment in his campaign.
That's generally a fair criticism, but the context from the rest of this particular thread is clearly US based
What options does the community have? Was there no RFC by the park board?
Yea that was part of the decision. I wasn't prepared enough to confront them out of the blue, but I was raised Catholic. I have an idea of how deep their "care" for us really is
Not cuddling the cat when they're being that cute is just cruel. Give the kitty some love!
I was at a Pride event yesterday and considered asking the "god hates f**" crowd why my sin is their problem. Then I figured that would be giving them too much attention.
When I read, I want my thoughts and ideas challenged. Not my reading comprehension.
My immediate thought was having a simplified book for young readers. When I was around 9 or 10, my grandma had me read simplified versions of classics like Huckleberry Finn. I liked the book enough that I eventually read the actual book when I was at the appropriate age.
That's how I read the latest stuff coming from the region as well. It is interesting that Vietnam is seeking ties with the US. Imo it's a mistake to do that, but I'm not a Vietnamese citizen. The US typically betrays ML countries at the nearest convenience.
I wonder if the yields would improve with less tomato grafts or keeping some of the potato shoots intact
And, yes, other countries may do similar things, and it is bad too, but it doesn't justify China's move here.
That's really all my entire point. I'm not defending China's claim, because it's just as ludicrous as Vietnam's. I was actually surprised to see how nuanced you approached this rather than assuming ill intent. Thanks for that
Literally every country constructs a narrative to justify their claims. This isn't special or uniquely Chinese.
Smh that's clearly a class 0.5 ebike and drivers just need to share the road /s
I'm one of those union organizers. Nice try, everything you said is bullshit. AQAU is the largest video game union in the country, and the 2nd largest tech union in North America. ZWU is 3rd. We can't be replaced. We unionized because it was already happening. Now they have to bargain with us.
That's right lol I forget how short lived the Republic was
Well the Weimar Republic Germany before the Nazis was also a regressive shithole run by an absolutely terrible monarch. I'm sure the wife had been suffering in Germany for a while
E: I made a silly mistake
Minnesota workers: there have been worker-friendly updates to Earned Sick and Safe Time
The earned sick and safe time (ESST) law was recently updated to clarify who qualifies for ESST, the rate at which ESST must be paid, ESST application to other paid time off and more. Below is an overview of some of those changes. Note: Most of these changes are effective as of May 25, 2024.

[PSA] Minnesota workers: there have been worker-friendly updates to Earned Sick and Safe Time

The new bill primarily clarifies rules that were a bit vague, but it also has new changes that will substantially improve life-work balance.
- ESST can be used in at least 15 minute increments and cannot be required to use more than four-hour increments
- Qualifying workers were expanded to people hired with an expectation of working 80 hours in a year, rather than actual hours worked. Some jobs still exempted
- ESST usage has expanded to bereavement
- ESST rules for use are expanded to all paid time off
- Employers that do not provide ESST must pay the worker for twice the amount they were supposed to get in ESST
This week, the NLRB handed down its first Cemex order against Station Casinos in Las Vegas, which engaged in heavy-handed union busting before workers lost a vote to unionize. The ruling may force the casino chain to bargain with the union anyway.
Classic Jacobin, several months late on important news /s
Seriously though, while the article primarily focuses on the rule change from last year, the backdrop is necessary to cover what seems to be the first case since the rule was established. It can never be understated how important this NLRB ruling actually is. The laws still need to be updated to reflect modern union busting tactics, but this ruling is still crucial. The Cemex ruling restores part of what's known as "Joy Silk" doctrine, which was a major factor in the huge boom of unions from the 1940's through 1968. The casino is "considering it's options". I hope that means they cement the rule.
Iraq War Veterans, 20 Years Later: ‘I Don’t Know How to Explain the War to Myself’ | NYT documentary
ProPublica has obtained a vast cache of IRS information showing how billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Warren Buffett pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth — sometimes, even nothing.
Fast food lobbyists say the higher California minimum wage law led to a loss of nearly 10,000 jobs. The claim is baseless.
I don't think this is actually about needing to pay wages, I believe that the real target is the fast food worker council that was created to make these changes. I think they're going for a tried and true method to gain conservative sympathy, but Republicans are self-segregating away from California and their political influence is waning in the state.
Please help me understand why I should share my identity
To start for anyone that may be concerned by the title, I've always considered myself an ally and I've supported both family and friends when they came out to me. I've always known that it takes a lot of trust for someone to come out like that, and I want to be the friend that they feel safe to talk with about that stuff.
I'm autistic, and I've recently started my journey of understanding that, my gender, and my sexuality. I've suspected since college that I was ace, and finally understood that about myself in the last few months. I made the first public message ever referring to myself as queer in a casual setting as a passing comment today which honestly felt a little strange, but already feels natural.
What I need help with understanding, is why should I actively tell my friends and family about it? The way I see it, I've always been this way and nothing will change in me between now and 10 seconds after I say something. I don't think of it as hiding anything either, I think of it as me being me. Why do others feel the need to share with people close to them?
Nurses and healthcare activists seek to pass a law legislating nurse-to-patient ratios in Ohio
Last week was National Nurses week, and in Ohio, lawmakers held the first hearing for a measure codifying nurse-to-patient ratios. To nurses, it’s a critical protection for workers stretched too thin, but to hospitals it’s a potentially devastating obstacle to delivering care. Nurses have been pushi...
