One of the things we need to emphasize is education. Not just for car drivers, but also bicyclists.

Ehh being a family of four driving still produces less CO2 if my family travels, and living in Phoenix means we have no lawn.

But did you hire them? I wouldn’t hold that against a qualified candidate, personally.

Aren’t you happy we drink out of paper straws too? We make such a difference to the environment

Total compensation includes plenty of intangible benefits that a corporation pays towards the employee. Depending on the company, those benefits may even include the portion of employment tax that the company pays for.

I live in the valley, probably the biggest concentration of brodozers in California. I wonder how broke these dudes are getting daily driving their monster trucks to work.

The good news is Tupac isn’t dead.

Or maybe it’s a club they all belong to where they sit on each others boards and make sure they have ridiculous pay pakages and golden parachutes without shame. By tying their grotesque salaries to stock price they are motivated by one thing: Short term greed. You’re a tool if you think they actually add that much…

Never underestimate the self-destructive tendencies of the blue-collar crowd.

Nobody is going to try that on somebody my size. And if they try it on my mother, I pity the fool. She WILL hose them down with gas and toss a match their way. She may be crazy, but she’s ex-military and one cast iron bitch when she wants to be, even at 75yo.

This is almost the exact conversation my wife & I had last night about the ‘gigacasting’ thing. We are a blast at parties, I can assure you.

Long haul trucking most definitely requires both training and certification.

You can thank first Jimmy Carter and then Ronnie Reagan for deregulation of the trucking industry. That was the start of the race to the bottom. I got my combination license in 1981 and drove for 25 years. Drivers today are making the same or less money as I was when I quit driving. The quality of drivers today is…
