With DEATH WOBBLE and life-threatening FAULTY BODY WELDS, all Wrangler models are experiencing GIGANTIC levels of sales loss;  combine that with evaporating resale value and you get the $9,000.00 DISCOUNTS on this new "truck"

Can we just agree that the only reason to eat at papa johns is when you hit the combination of ‘A better pizza place isn’t around’ and ‘it’s been 3 years since I had the garlic sauce’.

This is why I liked the food court at the mall where I worked many years (albeit, in the movie theatre for the mall, not the Cinnabon). The Cajun Big Easy was staffed by Asian-Americans; the Little Tokyo by Latinx; the Pizza Villa by African-Americans; & the Subway by lesbians. Cross cultural experience for the price…

It’s especially weird with American Chinese food. Almost nothing about it is authentic, so why do you care if a Chinese person made it? It’s not like they’re making dishes they would’ve made in their homeland, they’re making heavily bastardized, Americanized versions of those things.

Also, people who are fundamentally ignorant of how to actually calculate the value of their work. When you add up stuff like 0.58 USD per mile driven, the cost of unemployment insurance, the cost of paid sick days, the cost of employment taxes, the cost of medical insurance, and everything else that you pay yourself…

Whole Foods does the same thing with their grocery pickers: just hire more people than there will ever be hours for, and you will never get people to organize because there are too many. And with that many people desperate for hours, no one will ever be full time.

Any job, part-time, full-time, side hustle or not, should payout to minimum wage or above.

Exactly. Just like game developers, journalists, grad students, etc... companies can keep on treating human beings like crap just because there are always a dozen other people waiting.

That and in a lot of places, they’ve killed off the cab industry. So if you need a ride and you’re not on a public transportation route (if you even live somewhere that has semi-reliable public transportation,) you have no other options.

Literally the only people who claim this is supposed to be a “side-hustle” are Uber, Lyft and their defenders because that distinction is important to them labeling their employees as independent contractors. The vast majority of drivers on these apps are absolutely working full-time.

Capitalists love to use this idea of a “gig economy” as some kind of freedom for those who are willing to just “work hard.” That idea is a con that pits workers against one another in a never-ending battle to see who is willing to do a job for the least amount of money.

I think part of the reason Uber and Lyft are able to keep soldiering on is that there’s a seemingly inexhaustible supply of hard-up folks that are willing to give it a try, often in spite of the horror stories they’ve heard.  You’ve got to think that that supply of labor will dry up sooner than later. 

Or wasting time commenting about him, really
