I would think once we get past the commercial property owners bitching about losing their shirts that the actual business owners would realize that the savings from renting much less office space would drive work from home. It is massively expensive to maintain office space for people.
Kbin seems to have many open source and programming experts. And probably many experts in A.I. . I am curious about learning to use and develop (train?) an open source A.I. as a learning exercise....
I don't think injecting someone with a sedative AFTER they're handcuffed makes any sense. And if ketamine has any negative interactions with anything then it is not safe to inject anyone.
Has this really been considered carefully enough? If anyone might have died from it then it needs to stop until it has been studied very carefully and completely.
No one should die from being arrested. Stop the insanity.
There are laws in place for service workers related to minimum wage. The employers have to make up the difference if tips don’t meet the rate for hours worked. It seems to me that’s not sufficient for the times....
It has been a long time but when I waited on tables for $2.xx / hour no one ever told me about any minimum I had to make or the employer would pay more. If that exists it is new and I wonder how common it is. If my tips were shit, I took that hit and got no help from the employer.
I was fortunate to be from a state where minimum wage for tipped persons was the same as everyone. I also kept that rate when I transferred to a state where tipped employees were paid $2.xx / hour. My mistake was moving to a different employer and the lower hourly rate.
A lower hourly rate for tipped employees is pure profiteering bullshit on the part of employers. It should be outlawed at the federal level. There is no good reason for an employer to get in the middle of an employee and customer. Customers tip employees, NOT employers.
I thought the group living just above poverty limits were called the working poor. Does United Way think the new "sexy" acronym will get this group more attention?
I've always felt pretty bad for these folks. They're working and struggling. Minimum wage really does need to triple or quadruple.
