I may have an opportunity coming up to work in greater Austin. It’s tempting for many reasons, and I like the area, but I don’t think I can make it work for exactly that reason…housing prices are sky high.

For me it would mean trading a lot of financial stability for quality of life, or having a commute similar to yours. Living in or near the city is probably still manageable for those who have been there for many years, but I think most newcomers will find housing prohibitively expensive.

You’d think corporations would learn from these types of failures. But no, not as long as endless growth is the overall plan. The yes men will keep cutting corners at the expense of safety and quality.

More boomers are staying in their jobs instead of retiring. They’re working longer hours and making more money, new Pew data finds (finance.yahoo.com)

The graying of the American workforce continues: Baby boomers are working longer and earning more than their predecessors did in what Americans typically think of as retirement years, new research finds....

My manager is a prime example of your first category. He has a nice federal retirement and a chunk of a 401k, but he stays here…riding his desk. He can’t begin to fill the shoes of the Gen-X manager he replaced. Thus the quality of my department suffers because he’s a weak manager and susceptible to the schmooze by younger employees.

He took over the position just after he: 1. Moved 2 hours away, and 2. Had a massive heart attack. This guy’s circumstances are screaming at him to retire, but he just. Won’t. Move. On.

We have these in my area as well, though these stores are mostly considered vendors for poor folk.

Funny enough, the upscale stores have tons of self-checkouts and fewer cashiers. It’s as if bagging one’s own groceries with a cashier is for unfortunates, but doing both jobs yourself is in fashion.

Those poor bastards had no idea that by the time this would became reality, most of the results on screen would be junk they don’t care to read. News coverage is sold to the highest bidder.

I can attest that the Osprey was considered a dangerous piece of shit aircraft among many Air Force members since back in the 90s. Over the years since hearing that talk the odd Osprey crash has hit the news here and there, and I’m thinking they were right.

Losing them tons of money is the only way to make the faceless corporates pay attention and take action. I hope they do it.

“Ford’s Kentucky Truck plant builds the Ford F-Series Super Duty, Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs. The plant is one of the largest auto factories in the world and accounts for $25 billion a year in revenue, according to Ford which issued a statement shortly after the walkout.”

Fain wasn’t bluffing, they’re hitting them where it hurts. Go UAW!

2piradians ,

The UAW’s success with Fain shows they should continue direct leadership elections. This guy is killing it for them. I hope they don’t get complacent with time and allow appointees again. From an outsider’s perspective it seems like the appointees are susceptible to bribery from the big 3.

I hope this domino effect continues. It’s time corporations remember who contributes value to their businesses, and it’s not the leeches, er, shareholders.

I always block them right away. My idea is that any interaction flags you as ‘positive direct contact’ in their scumbag networks, making them likely to increase the spamming. I realize the act of blocking may in itself trigger this, if they track undeliverable contact, but idk what else to do.

2piradians , (edited )

It could tell them there’s likely a live person receiving their bullshit, so continue spamming with other means.

Bear in mind these are all just ideas I have about how they operate, based on nothing really. I try to imagine how spammers analyze data they receive to target us.

This is good insight, thank you.

It seems to me this is all a stalling tactic for unprofitable companies. Is that correct?

For me it’s any salesman wearing whatever.

Don’t forget PPP, when they funneled ridiculous money to big business while allowing rampant fraud.

45 has a real penchant for surrounding himself with people who say things he wishes were true rather than the actual truth. I doubt he knows (or cares) there’s a difference.

Hopefully that’s a good thing in the sense that his legal team is so incompetent and out of touch with reality, they will get steamrolled (just as all his election fraud nonsense did).

Years ago I read that magnesium oxide has a very low absorption rate in the body, so it mostly passes in urine. The source said magnesium malate or citrate have much higher absorption.
