5-12 year olds getting to see how one of their favorite nugget providers do what they do, and they get nuggets and ice cream while they see it.
I think there’s a lot of really fucked up things with chic-fil-a specifically, but this just doesn’t seem like one for me. I can see kids loving this, though I wouldn’t send mine because i’m sure there’s mandatory group prayer or some other bullshit I wouldn’t be ok with.
the “anonymous” surveys everyone knows are totally trustworthy.
management and HR will swear up and down they are anonymous. Even on web forums… but the reality is you get a really obvious idea of who said what on what teams because management band together to figure out who would have said something based on their attitude, opinions and perspective.
You can and will be singled out by management for saying negative things. Managers will be required to address the criticism… by choosing strategies behind closed doors, perhaps after having a “group discussion” where they report what they want their boss to hear to their boss, and then tell said boss what the plan is to change to address things is later. It will not be a change that affects the leader except to show they did something worthy of a performance bonus or a promotion though.
All results that ask for more pay are basically ignored. They know why the departments with high turnover have high turnover. It’s a decision to keep those workers paid less because there’s no value to paying them more. Usually the highest turnover roles are treated like commodities. Sales person with strong ethics? Fired! Sales person caught doing illegal stuff to get sales? Fired! Sales person who gets away with selling doctors on drugs for unapproved indications? Big bonuses!
The moment the bosses and the owner decided they wanted to get paid more than the workers was the moment any sense of equity vanished.
I’m waiting on the equatorial supercollider myself. 40,075km let’s go!
Considering only 30% of the people in this survey from ages 18-34 are working full time, i’m going to go ahead and say this isn’t an accurate representation of independent young adults.
26% are in school and 16% are unemployed for a total of 42% not really making money / are using loans for housing or are living at home.
28% are working part time and are unlikely to be living on their own - it’s rare to find a part time gig that can afford housing.
So 22% think housing is the highest cost issue… and only 30% are employed full time… sounds about right to me! I’m guessing it’s not 30% because those 8% got mortgages during the 4% or lower interest rate era.
That isn’t how it works though. Nobody is collecting billions in wages. They receive stock which isn’t counted as taxable income until sold.
Water is wet and this is just beating a dead horse. I’ve seen this same topic covered again and again and again.
Isn’t there anything more relevant to talk about? isn’t this supposed to be an election year?
This asshole is just exercising his options to take money from the same moderators that were up in arms over his changes last year. Make no mistake, this is Spez’s revenge.
I really hope this whole thing backfires on reddit, but I think the reality is that it will further enshittify until it’s profitable, and it’s already so big it’s unlikely to fail.
Lemmy just isn’t a replacement and I think the nature of lemmy will stop it from ever being one unless someone throws godlike resources at one giant instance that federates with basically nobody.
I cancelled 6 months ago. It just ran out yesterday.
Now I have to put $35 of physical items in my cart for free shipping. Oh no! what ever will I do!?
China can meet the demand for housing
China is… huge… There will still be places with housing shortages alongside places where tons of buildings will sit empty. Still a very different scope and problem there vs here.
Either way though in the US there doesn’t seem to be any sign of an oversupply problem coming in my lifetime (another 40 years if i’m lucky.)
That was an intended effect, as they were all facing enormous deficits in the wake of the '08 housing/car-note crash. Cash-for-Clunkers was supposed to be a back door bailout of dealerships in exchange for moving high emissions vehicles off the market.
Hot take: the dealership system is just a useless middleman system that should have been dismantled long ago as the “only way” to buy a car.
In theory, we live in a large and competitive housing market, such that people with excess cash can change landlords in pursuit of lower prices.
Boston will never have enough supply to meet demand. This is the one example I know very well, there are countless others. A thousand bucks a month in podunk land is enough to rent something entirely and that will 100% be exploited by landlords, after all it’s free money for doing nothing.
Popular opinion is that if you give people free money they will use it on what enriches their lives.
Economists would probably just point out the fact that whenever you subsidize something the thing you’re trying to make easier is suddenly even more expensive to the point where there’s hardly a discount if one even exists.
Look at the cash for clunkers program. At the end of that car dealerships were raking in huge profits.
In this case if you give someone a thousand bucks a month, odds are landlords will pocket the majority of that, because housing is the biggest cost for everybody who is not already an owner. If everyone has 1000/mo more, they can suddenly afford 1000/more on housing. This may make minimal impact in areas with extremely high COL, but all the associated suburbs, rough parts of town, college areas… yeah those rents are gonna go way up.
example: 4BR apartment? Oh… I guess that’s another +$3500/mo… after all all four of you are getting that money for free. New price: $7000/mo. It’s only 1750/mo, or 750 per person per month because the government (our tax dollars) is paying that poor, poor landlord. How ever would they survive elsewise?
It’s a 6 year old. Even if a 6 year old is known for being violent or rough - do you expect there to be a firearm in their bag?
What circumstances does one expect a six year old to produce a firearm and shoot someone? As far as I can tell it has literally never happened before or since this single incident, period. Six year olds aren’t really known to be the typical school shooter demographic, that’s more of the angsty teen age.
I don’t think it’s reasonable for schools to conduct bag searches on kindergarteners or first graders. They shouldn’t really expect to have metal detectors either.
I’m sorry… but what the fuck are people bitching about?
The parent of the child is facing 25 years. The child has a history of really fucked up shit - the parents are at fault. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66451768
To me this just reads that the school district is trying to get worker’s comp insurance involved for them to pay for it. After all, what school district has $40,000,000 to give to workers who get shot? A district can’t begin to imagine a 6 year old is going to bring a gun in anyway.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s fucking horrible that the teacher had this happen. It’s fucking horrible that a parent teaches their child racist slurs (as this one used to refer to the teacher after shooting her), it’s horrible that parents have guns within reach of children. There are SO MANY fucked up things here. I just don’t understand how the school is the problem.
Sure but then it would be a much bigger program, not just one store in the middle of where ever
