I was taught this all through school, including by my AP English teacher (a stickler for 2 spaces who enabled me to skip college English). I will always do it. I also give a “F” about the oxford comma.

Plus, Blake Shelton’s thing with No Doubt lady is a fake PR relationship and he was interested in getting back with Miranda when she broke up with whatshisname, but he didn’t want to play second fiddle to that whateverhisnameis dude who is her opening act.

I’ve probably been attracted to the same age range of women since I was around 13 and I’m sure that’s mostly the same for many men. Most of us don’t have money, fame, and the PR/management people to arrange “relationships” with young models for the rest of our lives, though.

Reminds me of the time that dude was paying for John Edwards’ baby and saying it was his.

I had a good cop family member, too, but he had the good sense to change careers recently. I agree with the comment of indifference about the cops dying, tbh, especially when they inflate the stats and use all kinds of hyperbole about how dangerous the job is when THEY are the ones creating the danger much of the…

I work in the warehouse. Everyone I know is a direct hire and we all receive those benefits. My benefits options are the same as the GM. Medical, dental and vision were there on day 1. Some things require time. I think the paternity leave might require 1 year employment. Paid tuition requires 1 year. It takes 2 years…

I worry about giving specific numbers in public but each Amazon warehouse (fulfillment center) has a facility minimum wage and the one I work at in Ohio is at least $6 higher than the state minimum wage and I have co-workers that all received significant pay bumps when they left their jobs at every retail store,…

That does sound pretty good. No Amazon doesn’t pay $20 hour, but they also don’t pay the $8.10 a lot of places they are being compared to. Where these jobs are, for example where I am located (since it is the focus of these incorrect SNAP reports) I can tell you that most Amazon warehouse workers are the same job…

I work at an Amazon warehouse and put your stuff away. I started at almost double minimum wage, had pretty good health/dental/vision benefits from day 1, get a bonus every month just for showing up, RSUs, 401(k) with a crappy match (but better than any job I’ve had before), pto and vacation (I worked in restaurants at…

But Amazon warehouse jobs in no way increase SNAP. At worst case, they don’t take enough people (which is at most is people with families of 5 or more with no other wage earners, based on actual facts) off SNAP when they leave their jobs at Walmart for better pay and benefits.

Walmart pays much less, which I’m sure means fewer employees qualifying for foodstamps....

The weird thing to me about the temp agencies is that anyone uses them. When I applied for Amazon I applied directly and nothing could stop anyone else from doing the same. The only thing I can figure is that the temp agencies will hire without a diploma and possibly be more lenient on background checks. There’s a…

I don’t know. My place in Ohio has “reduced time” employees but they work 36 and get paid $2-3 more per hour and full benefits, including paid time, vacation, medical from day 1, monthly bonus, etc. They have set shifts and if you are hired for it that’s what you get. I mean, if you have a shift that’s M-Th 6-4 and…

I work at one of the facilities that has been mentioned in these reports (1 of 2 in my general area in OH) and we have very few part-time employees. I know what all the shifts are and what they entail and when I applied no part-time jobs were being offered at all. If you are hired at 40 hours that is the minimum you…

They must be part-time or are attempting to support a family of 5 or more on 1 person working at Amazon and no other sources of income.

Well I’ll give you one data point. I was on SNAP and lost it because I took a job at Amazon. Amazon in Ohio pays more than the SNAP max unless you have a family of 5+ and no other wages or earners in your household. So, 1. Some people were on SNAP already (think most of Amazon workers who worked at Walmart, Target,…

As an actual Amazon worker in Ohio, you always ignore my comments. There are a lot of things I don’t like about Amazon, but the math/facts do not support these assertions. The starting fulltime wage for Amazon warehouse work is higher than the foodstamp (SNAP) maximum wage unless you are the only wage earner at all…

Do people actually enjoy eating instant ramen or just have it because it’s cheap? I mean, my kids genuinely like it but they like candy and foods covered in ketchup. This sounds about as appealing as Soylent.

The white people I associate with don’t believe in speaking to the police.

Bruno Mars is going to try every one of these.
