I assume you mean in CA or the Bay area. In many states strikers can be fired unless contractually protected (which I would assume a labor union had bargained for).

The workers are part of a union. So they likely have a contractual right to strike and not lose their jobs.

Did you live in western Germany perchance? Because in the former GDR, there’s a thing called ‘Grüner Pfeil’/’Green Arrow’ on a lot of intersections, which allows you to turn right on red.

A yield sign rather than a light making traffic flow more predictable? How so?

Naples is probably as bad as Rome. Italy is filled with Mario Andretti wannabees.

I wondered what happened to her after she got fired from The Blaze.

I would love to be so good at something that the people I’m competing against look at me like I’m cheating.

Actually, Grant’s overall strategy for beating the Army of Northern Virginia was brilliant. By the time of the 1865 campaign, Grant had utterly obliterated the Confederates in the west, and functionally the Confederacy had been completely beaten along the western interior. Aside from some isolated spots in Alabama and…

Sports Illustrated did a great story called “The boy they couldn’t kill” a few years back. You can read it here: https://www.si.com/nfl/2015/01/07/si-60-the-boy-they-couldnt-kill-rae-carruth-son

He doesn’t want to hear it because that comes from people who don’t buy new cars.

Kap didn’t need Eric Reid to stay unsigned to help his case. He still has Nathan Peterman and Tom Savage to prove his case.

There’s a college in Bowling Green, KY?

“It’s about historical accuracy” is the new “it’s about ethics in game journalism”?

Because it’s probably not their defining characteristic as a people. We have incestuous people who will eat fried butter, but it would be offensive to visit a Canadian and be told “Hey, if you’re hungry I can drop some Land O Lakes in the fryer, you cousin fucker.”

I’ve been watching Cheers on-and-off for the past couple months and it’s so much fun seeing him in that role and then going to the Good Place. Plus, Cheers holds up really fucking well. 

My dude I’m a freelance journalist who spends most of my time dehydrated, sleep deprived, hungry and jetlagged beyond comprehension. At least for being CEO you get the big bucks.

On the one hand, I agree that what is or is not a “companion animal” should depend on the situation and there’s no reason why the Canadian government should be so inflexible about how their citizens choose to spend their money. On the other hand, spending $650,000+ to save the life of any animal no matter how beloved i…

I think at this point Biles is the greatest gymnast ever. Perhaps, someone will come along in 20 or so years and take the title, but it is her now. There isn’t no question.

Agreed. She’s a once in a lifetime athlete. I won’t compare her to others but someday we will compare others to her “[athlete] is the Simone Biles of [sport]"

Big deal. Some guy calling himself “Blaine Gabbert” managed to sneak onto the field and pretend to be an a NFL quarterback for a bunch of actual games.
