“gig work was never intended to make the gig worker money”

Because far too many assholes believe that if you’re being abused by your employer, that’s entirely your fault.

Well, for one, they are delivering your food. Food that you were too damn lazy to go get yourself.

“but I don’t think the conservatives here are arguing in bad faith”

I’m not, because I’m not willing to subject all the people that such a thing will harm to that harm just so you can have “judicial purity” or whatever it is you’re wanting. Interpreting the law is the entire reason the judicial branch exists, and I honestly do not see how ruling that a non-discrimination law means…

But during that recession, they made several concessions to the company in order to help the company out. Now, that things are going well, and the company is giving the execs lavish bonuses, why don’t they deserve to share in the riches as well?

I was looking at a new car, and given the incentives and stuff, I was looking at a new Chevy Volt. Not anymore.

But, where would they go? Rent is high because there are lots of people that want to be there. Rents are low in places where there aren’t lots of people, and most people don’t want to be there.

They gave Fox News a sound byte where she is not explicitly disavowing the eating of babies, which was suggested by what appears to be her constituent. Regardless of what happened in reality, Fox News got what they wanted, and what they’re able to sell.

Absolutely wrong. The reason companies train people is because they need workers.

I wouldn’t trust the company’s characterization of the person as far as I could throw it.

I bought a new Mini Cooper about 10 years ago, and it is starting to show it’s age. I’m at the point where I have to decide if not having a car payment is worth the money I’m sinking into it try and pass smog. I had thought about trading it in for a Chevy Volt, before the incentives change, but with the way GM has…

She walked into someone’s apartment and murdered them. There is no “mistake” about it.

Bullshit? She could rule that, as it was not her home, and she was in fact the intruder, it doesn’t apply.

If they’re all the same mushroom, and they’re all the same music box, how do they make different notes?

Why does this person think that there isn’t any judgement for political expression, when they in that interview, are sitting there judging people doing it?

“and apparently I’m an ass if I could fathom that she’s being used as pandering political theater.”

Being a shithead is not a mental illness.
