the power to the entire hosting service went out, and once the forums were back up somehow all of ZDR's posts were wiped out, which hosed with the page count. Rather than waiting for the DB to re-index everything (since nobody was sure it would) a new thread was made.

also the forums got taken offline for a few minutes to fix poo poo and the Read My Twitter! link on the downtime page went straight to the taxman's own permabanned page, which was funny

this is always the case for "we can't find workers!!!" stories even during 2009-2010. "Why won't anyone move to rural Tennessee and pay for their own training to get a 6 month temp machinist job for $12/hr?? Lazy ingrates!"

i mean if u accept that people are lazy ingrates who will not work for below a certain wage then the sensible thing to me seems to be to offer a wage higher than that but you know i also am not a corporation so im dumb af

not gonna click the story but there is a 100% chance the measures taken to hire american did not include higher wages, benefits, time off, or anything else that would make the job desirable to articulate white people or even inarticulate white people or you know people in general

nah he actually did, he wasn't paying 14 an hour before, he was offering flex scheduling for college kids and letting women work only when their kids were in school

lol Americans are pussies

Manual labor like that is backbreaking work and lots of the people who do it sacrifice their bodies and often end up "retired" on disability in their 40's-50's assuming they are eligible.

It's naked exploitation of poor migrant workers generally. Anyone who has done that kind of stuff for even a short time (I did it for maybe 9 months) can appreciate not having to do it

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


There was some college kid on the bus today listening to RATM in his headphones and I had the terrifying thought that they were as old and removed from his own era as like, Pink Floyd's The Wall was to me as a teenager.

But the core core problem is most Americans don't want to pay what something is worth. They want their landscaping done super cheap and don't give a gently caress.

So the places that hire illegals for less than minwage are going to get all the business while if you try to pay your legal workers the right amount, they'll say you're too expensive and fire you.

Americans simultaneously want cheap slave labour to do their jobs and bitch that they can't get jobs because there's all this cheap slave labour around.

She refuses to speak to constituents. Lives in a safely gerrymandered county with old antebellum plantation slave owner families. Stopped supporting violence against women bill as soon as Trans women were involved. Co-sponsored the bill to allow ISPs to monetize your search history. Repeatedly backed Blue Lives Matter groups.

Literally the worst person to take Corker's already lovely senate seat.

Well, with a track record like that, I'm sure she couldn't win a statewide election...right? :smithicide:

It's really hard to understand the motivations of someone like that. Why is he putting so much work and time into taking away people's healthcare? It doesn't benefit him at all. He already has more money then he can spend in what's left of his lifetime.

Is it just sadism?
