That's what I chose and it also worked for me

  1. Only 1 in 4 repeat wage theft offenders get fined, despite violating federal wage laws more than once.

The prevalence of wage theft is a stark reminder of the need for stronger enforcement of labor laws and increased protections for workers. It is a moral imperative for policymakers, labor advocates, and the public to prioritize this issue and hold employers accountable for their illegal actions.

Wage theft is not just a financial crime; it is a violation of the fundamental rights and dignity of workers. Until this epidemic is addressed, the promise of a fair and just workplace will remain elusive for millions of Americans.

I'm thinking Israel probably provides US Intel and US provides them weapons.

Interesting

Maeve ,

The simplicity and genius made me laugh. Good on you, op!

Maeve ,

Thank you, op, I should have said that in my other post. You are welcome, and also clever. Plus, I agree with using it until it's plain unusable. Things are so. flipping. expensive! And it is truly a pleasure to call out genius, for once, instead of... You know, the opposite. The added bonus is, I may be able to remember this, if something breaks that can be remedied in like manner.

Hi can you point me to more information wrt Nalvany assertion, please? Tyia

Maeve ,

Oh wow. That's not good. Thank you for the reference and quick reply.

Maeve ,

Yeah. I'm kind of embarrassed I didn't even think of Wikipedia. I just figured anything relevant would be not there or held in "talk."

Maeve ,

Not when you play all sides.

Sticky trick: new glue spray kills plant pests without chemicals (www.theguardian.com)

The insect glue, produced from edible oils, was inspired by plants such as sundews that use the strategy to capture their prey. A key advantage of physical pesticides over toxic pesticides is that pests are highly unlikely to evolve resistance, as this would require them to develop much larger and stronger bodies, while bigger...

Average consumers can't keep up with everything, which makes this especially egregious.

Mexico was going to ban it, but guess which nation leaves hard on them until they didn't.

I was looking for my daily lol. Op delivered.

We may never know how many; I suspect more than will be guesstimated.

Ohh, this is why all the layoffs! Their going to import employees and pay exploit them. Greedy, greedy M$.

It did the same thing when I asked about wealth inequality and it gave the same tried and failed "solutions," and I suggested we could eat the rich. When I pressed the conversation with, "No, I want to talk about eating the rich," it said "Certainly!" And continues the conversation, but have me billionaire-safe or neutral suggestions. When I pressed on direct action and mutual aid, it gave better answers.

Maeve ,

I mean I had to explicitly type this terms in, to get better replies. But to do that, I had to tell it, "I want to continue the conversation about eating the rich." But it did continue, so there's that.

Separately, officials for Germany’s lower house of parliament, the Bundestag, said the legislature had lifted the parliamentary immunity of AfD member Petr Bystron.

United States could take a lesson or few, here. Sorry, I know this isn't about that and am not trying to hijack the thread; I just can't help but notice glaring differences when both major parties are dumpster fires.

Maeve ,

The real irony is that the self proclaimed patriots are literally traitors.

The parallels are staggering.

Maeve ,

Your posts are the ones most likely to warm my heart, make me smile or even literally lol. This one did all three. Thank you, my friend. <3

Maeve ,

This whole thread was awesome. Thanks, feddies! Sincerely, a real female (way too old to call myself a girl, but in threads like this, I feel like one!)

Maeve ,

Very welcome! Thank you, too!

Maeve ,

Thanks! I guess if I'm honest, I'm old, but my mind kind of flip-flops on whether it is old, so I usually opt for "female" when not assuming age (mine or anyone else's. Some women get nasty when you use a term that isn't their preferred category--and in my area, have the nerve to be offended when someone has preferred pronouns!).

Tldr I'm a kid at heart.

Maeve ,

Hah! In another thread, I caught dune flack for saying "female." Thanks.

Maeve ,

Lol. Whatever works!

Maeve ,

I never cared for it. Green jello pudding and I've never seen pistachios in it

Maeve , (edited )

I mean, you'd have to taste it for yourself. I didn't like it but you may, you know?

ETA: here is a recipe in case you're interested

It's a yacht?

Maeve ,

Well I read that but when I searched it, returns suggested a yacht, so I'm really confused. Maybe autocorrect changed my terms and I didn't notice or the search was just silly returns. I was about to nap and admittedly didn't pay that much attention before I hit "enter."

Maeve ,

Thank you! I'm not wealthy enough to know!

Maeve ,

Thank you.

Maeve ,

It was a yacht. I feel you, 100.
