Fortunately for me I’ve never had to deal with this. I got married before sexting took off and my wife just sends them to other men.

Lena Paul is a great actress.

Why is the loss of worse jobs really a “loss,” though? Is there a tax on every cell phone bill for the loss of phone operators (a much better job than retail)? Is there a tax on every new car for the loss of horse and buggies?

That would make sense, but the robots they use now need people to keep them going and are not capable of doing what the human workers do. not to mention all the issues that have to be fixed constantly. They’ve mostly replace walking, but that’s about it so far.

Except Walmart actually did and still does pay wages that allow full-time workers to qualify for food stamps. Amazon does not.

I commented here before that where I live Amazon pays more than the SNAP limit for households of 1,2,3, and 4 for anyone who works at least the “reduced time” schedule. And that’s with no other workers in the house. Someone working there 36 or 40 hours with a 4 person household would actually not be eligible or would…

I think most of the wage complaints are about warehouse workers (though they are paid more than anywhere else), but I’ve seen complaints about the corporate culture and treatment of the other workers.

When I scan the headlines for all the Gizmodo verticals, the Root seems to be the one doing the most serious in-depth stories about these and similar issues. Perhaps you confused them with Jezebel.

What should be the starting wage for a warehouse associate? $20? $25/hr? I’m just curious what people think. My observation of local jobs is that the Amazon FC increased wages for similar work, including competitors and temp/seasonal jobs. Anyone can walk off the street and start working in a warehouse here for…

Makes sense, but I think a lot of the jobs they replace are much worse. For the people making $8.15/hr at Wendy’s or $9 (maybe as high as $11 now?) at Walmart or $10-12 for Supervisory level jobs at Target or managing a Gas station or barely above minimum wage at a UNION grocery store, making $15/hr to work 3 or 4…

How much do they pay their regular workers? Above minimum wage is very broad, and there are companies that pay workers double minimum wage for unskilled labor and are regularly attacked by Gizmodo media writers.

This reminds me of a guy who insisted his family needed 2 large SUVs because they had 2 kids. Neither he or his wife worked outside the home and they’ve had multiple evictions, foreclosures, and repos, too. OR those people who claim having kids means you need a van. Weirdos. I have 2 kids and usually a wife, and we…

If he were that well-to-do he wouldn’t have property that could be accessed from public street parking.

I’m pretty sure my wife used his head to scrub a dirty saucepan last night.

I think The Wonder Years had dropped in the ratings and had run its course. It was my favorite show in 1988. By 1991-1992 I barely saw it and I don’t think the shift in focus away from the family towards Kevin’s friends and dating adventures appealed as much to audiences.

Was it creepy because a gay teen was allowed to exist?

When I was 16 I definitely said some dumb shit to attractive older co-workers. In retrospect it was stupid but I don’t think anyone took it seriously.

I don’t think an 18 year-old (or 19, which I’ve read from other sources) was born in the aughts. Well, I guess if she JUST turned 18 in the last 4 weeks. Which, yeah...

You can’t cherry pick and treat them like employees in some aspects and independent contractors in others, just to suit what works for you. A contractor is supposed to be a business working for a client, not an employee. The client does not micromanage working time or dictate when and how work is produced... or that’s…

Sounds a lot more appealing and relevant to my interests than any other Tinder.
