Well, that’s the difference - you have to be around the Scandihoovians to get the true Minnesota “Nice” experience. Growing up in German country you might as well have grown up in Wisconsin.

They directly stated this was about his cumulative behavior:

Estate taxes are paid by the estate, not the recipient. And unless you live in Connecticut, there are no separate inheritance taxes. 

Trump barely knows how to drive a car, never mind how one is designed and built. 

I genuinely wonder if he ever learned to drive? 

Just because they have an excuse doesn’t change the fact that drivers are penalized for “setting their own price” the only way they can, that is, not accepting rides that will pay too little because they’re too far away, too short, etc. Uber doesn’t get to have it every way they want it whenever it’s advantageous to…

It’s maddening that the solution seems to focus on things that won’t stymie addicts at all (like making prescriptions logistically more difficult to fill) and completely ignoring things like counseling people on how to transition off opiates they receive after surgery. My husband was sent home from a spinal fusion…

Extremely unlikely SCOTUS would come into play given that this is a CA state law based on a CA Supreme Court ruling. It’s not a federal issue. 

Although the Confederacy isn’t a strong part of Appalachian heritage either - that was the border area where lots of southerners remained loyal to the Union. Kentucky stayed in the Union, Tennessee seceded but more Tennesseans fought for the Union. West Virginia seceded from Virginia so they could stay in the Union.

Actually, when Uber started it was entirely what they now call Uber Black - licensed limo and car service drivers that either were genuine independent contractors or actually worked for a small limo company. They were actually professional drivers, and as a result the rides were a lot more expensive. 

No. If you are “waiting to be engaged” and otherwise free to go about your business, FLSA does not require you to be paid. Only if you are “engaged to wait”, as in must stay at a worksite until work is available or similar.

No, neither of those things happened.

Goddamnit, I’m going to be singing this all afternoon now. 

“Here’s a reply from the chief of police who probably doesn’t have any known gang affiliations”

Psst, it was Sweden. 

Everyone in the industry uses “payroll taxes” to refer to FICA. Withholding is for income tax, it’s entirely different and definitely not what they’re referring to.

“Making characters non-white would completely change their family history, which for most of these characters would be significant”

“That doesn’t fit into my budget” isn’t oversharing about your finances. Your options aren’t share a long tale of woe or secret machinations to hide that you’re not drinking, yeesh. 

They’re still pissed about Brown v Board tbh. 

This was a thing in other monarchies as well - the film Vatel is about a chef in service to a French noble who is hosting Louis XIV. Loosely based on a real person.
