And, lo, that’s why governments stopped pursuing full employment loooong ago.

My business was a non-ferrous foundry for a long time (I’ve since moved production elsewhere) and you hand poured 175 lb crucibles (two guys per crucible) of 2100 degree metal all day while wearing an aluminized suit and cotton or wool underneath that. Didn’t matter if was 100 degrees out and humid. Two minutes after…

It was probably only Flores that worked the long hours as manager and as such she was on salary not hourly. So yea, they’ll make sure the hourly workers don’t earn overtime but they’ll work the managers like dogs.     

The most surprising part of that story, is that they were allowing the employees to work more than 40 hours a week. No low paying jobs in my area of the country would even think of allowing overtime even if they were understaffed.

Yikes—-I remember people threatening revolution in my office when the A/C broke and it got to a whole 80 degrees inside. These people have to be on their feet all day AND in front of a grill at times.

The United States had the black guy as President so they’re good on the racial thing, amirite?

Oprah is rich and Obama was president - racism: disproved!

In this instance, Hamilton reminds me of Steve Mcqueen and his support of the California Junior Boys Republic. They both haven’t been so successful as to forget a real need they personally witnessed.

Yeah, one guy totally disproves the fact that there’s a problem.

Vettel: “We need more German engineers”

Critical Racer Theory?

Glad to see Mj Rodriguez getting a nomination finally. Also Ted Lasso is gonna sweep, I guarantee it.

I think his experience might be the only reason that Vasseur wants him to stay for next year.

“...just past exit 69 for Big Beaver Road.”

My question is who manages the team? I have always felt Gunther is just a clown and Gene keeps him around so he can F with someone constantly. If the Mazepins buy the team there is no way they keep Gunther, but who would take that job? Managing a Russian billionaire’s son is never going to end well.

Another year, and Always Sunny ain’t gettin’ shit.

Gotta admit I kept muttering “no one dressed like that in the ‘90s, you turnip” under my breath at some of the dudes wearing head to toe Dixie cup outfits

They could auction the ride off each week to a different billionaire who isn’t busy with going into space.

My money would be on Guanyu Zhou. Might win the F2 title this season, but even though he’s an Alpine junior he’s not really a valid option for any other F1 team. Three seasons in F2 is generally a death sentence for a potential F1 career, and he’s in his third already.
