Spiderman's arm is getting fatigued from pointing y'all out.

So many questions, all of them variations on "WHY THE FUCK"

JESUS H. CHRIST

YES! I would have a serious talk with whoever set me up on a date with someone who did that.

Yes, I feel like this is a perfect time to launch into relationship advice for men. yes yes indeed.

Dunno, how about keep going on dates and treating people well until you find someone you click with? Like the rest of us.

I work in restaurant administration (the benefits/payroll side of things) and actually, ACA is making tax-free tips near to impossible for employers to let slide, due to affordability requirements.
Most servers I know declare their tips - you need to make actual money on paper to rent an apartment, buy a house, get a…

Because they've managed to make "union" a bad thing in most people's eyes. The death of the unions was the death knell to all workers in corporate America.

It's right up your alley, and while he doesn't specifically target America, it applies to every damn thing about us. He even goes back to Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations and points out that the whole "free market"…

Not sure how much sympathy most people might have for her, despite that she clearly deserves sympathy, but maybe it needs to be shouted far and wide that Subway's policy is apparently to put all of their customers at risk of serious illness just to keep their employees slaving away.

That's what you get when you live in a country with no mandatory paid sick leave. That vomit smell? That's the smell of freedom, buddy. 'Murica.

My 32 year old brother passed away and I was fired because I didn't want to work on the 1st Christmas without him. We had to listen to country music and all the sad songs about dead relatives sent me into a tailspin of sadness. I wish Texas would do right by their employees.
