Most of the US, yes.

It’s been over 20 years since I was in a strip club in Canada, but at the time nobody else was tipping besides me.

For several months my job had me fly in to L.A. every Sunday night, where I would pick up a rental car, and then fly back out Friday night. The hotel I stayed in was very close to where I worked, so I’d just walk to work every day (in L.A.? Yes, really).

I guess I misremember the highway number. I was driving from San Diego to L.A., fwiw

I did not know that. Thanks for the info.

It was Mussolini, and it was propaganda. The Italian fascists restricted the foreign press corps from going anywhere on their own, so any time they went anywhere, they were all together on the same train. They made sure the trains carrying journalists ran on time, by clearing any lines, delaying other trains, etc.

And it’s not what the lawsuit claims. Not all taxis are equipped that way.

So, when you see “female engineers discriminated against” the sexism problem isn’t the actual discrimination, it’s the author calling it out that is the sexism problem.

If they are a bad company who treats customers and employees terribly then they will eventually go out of business

How would you prefer it be presented?

Mercedes V12?

I was once on the 405 outside San Diego, nice sunny day, light traffic. Top down, cruise control set to 105.

My car has keyless go. If the fob is in the car, the doors won’t lock.

So we can stop depending on the war-torn Middle East and depend on war-torn Africa instead.
