Now, I ain’t sayin’ she’s a peppermint bark digger

Whatever the job, it’s incredibly well-paid, judging by the houses/apartments these people can afford.

In most of Western Europe:

Pro union or not I support this strike.  As with many other companies that make ridiculous profit and yet pay there employees pennies on the dollar I am happy to see the workers stand up to big corporations. 

Yeah, people have not left the workforce. They’ve left bad employers and bad industries. This whole out of the workforce thing is just right wing corporate propaganda.

That shit is exactly why so many people are leaving positions to go work for someone else who isn’t outright fucking their employees.

Iowa farm boy here: don’t forget the other aspect of John Deere from the opposite direction that’s completely dickish. How farmers are suing JD for the right to repair their own tractors—not to have to go to JD for servicing.

I was lucky in my position to come through 2020 without issues.

1st Gear: Tell them to add right to repair to their list of demands.

Good, more workers should strike. The collapse of wage growth over the last thirty years is directly related to the lack of strikes and unionized labor. If you hate your job, and get angry with other people fighting for a better wage and better conditions, then join a union and fight for them yourself. Every industry…

I wouldn’t say it’s the same, considering fat uncaring American capitalists have consistently been the world’s greatest villains.

Your dad sounds eerily similar to my father. (Bonus match - he doesn’t cook AT ALL, either, does he?)

That would work in theory, but in reality living with a compulsive eater like my father means that no amount of buying more will get him to the point where he stops and leaves some for you. “What he wants” is always more. Quantity over quality and whatnot. I wish it wasn’t like that, but it is. If I buy more ice…

Is there a country where it’s considered a cool and respectful thing to do? 

Adam Sandler is stuttering, baby-voiced Cajun chef Michele Fontenot, who has left the bayou to open a wildly popular restaurant in Times Square featuring a giant alligator tank. He is smitten with Drew Barrymore, who runs a school for developmentally disabled children, and has invited her to bring the children to a…

None of these have the requisite offensiveness for a truly bad Sandler movie.

More stories like this. One thing I’ve noticed in the abortion debate is that people often bring out “rape, incest or the mother’s life being in danger” as the holy trifecta of reasons anyone should condone abortion. Fetal abnormalities are almost always missing, but they are the reason behind the vast majority of…

I had an abortion at 20 weeks for a chromosomal abnormality and I cannot imagine having to go through it in a state that refuses to treat women like human beings. I made the decision based on conversations with my OB and a doctor who specializes in chromosomal abnormalities. They were able to give me the information I…

I’ve done this for at least 25 years. I knew a kid who claimed “chips & cheese” was a british staple sandwich. White bread, a bit of mayo or butter, whatever chips are on hand, some cheddar slices, done. This is beyond just putting chips in burgers (which I also do... things are better when they crunch), I don’t…

Every sandwich i’ve had for the last 30 years has had either Lay’s, Ruffles, Doritos, you name it stuffed in there for a crisp bite.
