*raises hand* That’s not how you spell “bourgie”.

GM’s entire gov’t buyout was really due to the benefits being more than $50 per hour due to all of the retired union workers getting lifetime healthcare and pensions decades of catastrophic mismanagement.

Unions never agree to lessening benefits unless the company is already going under and there’s no choice.

There need to still be certain boundaries. I’m very interested in pop culture in general and celebrity gossip, but I don’t agree with the paparazzi following celebs around when they’re dropping the kids of at school or taking pics of them in their own homes or on their properties (or vacation homes, hotel rooms etc.).

I openly want the very worst, most tragic events real life can offer to dodge Mitch McConnell to his grave.

Sure you can. Lots of companies have re-opened contracts with unions in the middle of them - it just requires that you negotiate and agree on the changes.

Yes. If you sign a contract with a worker that says worker will get [x] benefits after working for [y] amounts of time, you can’t revoke [x] benefits because you didn’t plan for it appropriately. That’s bad management to not adequately plan for a known expense.

Unions don’t guarantee any outcome, however, so your…

I certainly hope no one of sense sends their kids to a charter school but it certainly does not mean they are all scams or they started to take public funds. Hell, if someone wanted to offer me funding, I’d probably take it too. They should definitely NOT be funded by taxes. You’ll get no argument there. But you might…

So many organizations—especially non-profits in my experience—don’t value HR.

The response by the company - talk to the employees and tell why unions are not the way to go.. is an old anti-union tactic that is still sold/presented to corporations by anti-union companies that sell their wares to HR departments all across corp america. It’s the oldest in the book. Tell why you’re so great and…

Yay that was fucking heinous.

I’m not anti-charter school. I think they can be good labs for ideas.
Charters as they are being instituted NOW though are overwhelmingly degree mills bent on getting rid of kids who don’t perform and adhearing to drill drill drill in order to perform well on tests.

Shitty “No Excuses”…

Also... legally required. So, ya know, just baseline business ethics.

There’s also a REALLY nasty history of white women accusing black men of sexual assault for acts that were clearly consensual.

I saw a preview of DeMario’s interview. I think it was over the top and cheesy, from what I saw, but I mean of course it will be for TV and that demo. But I think I am on his side here. I think that its really unfortunate that it is automatically assumed that he is a perpetrator of sexual assault and I think that…

I’m not sure what in my comment made it seem as if I personally want them to release anything or feel they’re beholden to do so—I even stated that they would likely release something on their own before anything got crazy. Just talking about the general idea of what withholding can lead to when tabs are hungry for…

I think in a situation with twins I would feel differently about it? Maybe? Because it’s simultaneous, so mom and dad both have a person named after them at the same time (I don’t know, I haven’t really given this a ton of thought). And because I think I vaguely recall that Blue Ivy was somehow meaningful to both of…

she filmed a movie about Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh and when interviewed called it Shitsburgh which promptly pissed off all the burgers and the movie tanked. I felt bad for the writer and director. The movie may have tanked anyway, but that didn’t help.

I’ve already forgotten. She’s like the cool whip to brad whoever’s marshmallow fluff. I’m white and they are too white for me.

Good point, I forget how bland Sean is as a name. (Sorry Seans!)

I think I smell an AGENT OF THE MAN IN OUR MIDST!!!!!!!!!!!
