you’re purposefully missing the point. the burden of time off work to take care of kids/relatives(/literally everything else, probably) falls disproportionately on women, and women face a greater financial penalty than men do for the same amount of time off work.

I accept your kudos, as I sit here wondering WHO THE FUCK DOES THIS?

She 100% does lol.

Just guessing, but I’m thinking that the 70 year old Mr Kawamoto might have some personal experience of the issue.

I think you should retain it.

FINE.

The city doesn’t own the bridge or control it in any way. They can’t close the street to trucks, because of local businesses that need deliveries, and there are level grade crossings one block away on either side of the bridge. They’ve stuck warning signs all over the roads leading to the bridge, programmed the…

Ok sewer main expert, just tell the whole city to stop pooping for a few weeks for the cut over.

We can’t they lower the truck?

The last thing we want is for people to wise up. What would we do for entertainment?

brb, getting popcorn for all the arguments about why they can’t raise the bridge.

Please read this:

When a food critic goes to a restaurant to review it, yeah, it seems pretty unlikely they’re going to do a background check on the owners. However, this is talking about the post-review, post-closure “Author goes on a search for truth” article that came way, way after the review.

It’s kinda amazing that this Beard award winning restaurant journalist never contemplated the illogic of Stanich’s story - that a restaurant would have to close because it was TOO popular and packed with paying customers. A restaurateur in that position who wants out of the business simply sells to someone else,…

The omission of this parallel story, which Stanich has continued to insist had nothing to do with the closure of his restaurant, suggests either sloppy journalistic practice or a preference for believing, at face value, the kinds of stories men tell each other about themselves.

Yes, but if he makes a small multiple of the workers (1.5x? 2x?) he is still making significantly less than the execs. The way people like you talk he is making way more than he actually does. And when the shop closes down, his job may well go like everyone else. After all, you don’t need reps for a busted union.

Then maybe they should build them in places they don’t require destroying a neighborhood (which usually do last for more than 40 years).

This "Union Boss" BS is really childish. You have no idea how much the union reps are paid by the union, or if they are also working at the plant. If the did get paid, that's ok, they do have a job, do you expect them to do it for free? I'm quite certain that any employees of the union get a tiny fraction of the pay…

He’s a writer?

So being called out as an anti-vaccine has the same weight as the n-word. Cool story, bro.
