Just pay yourself to 'work'. OK Outrail, here's your contract: catch three 8 pound trout by the due date and I'll pay you $5000.

For those hard-to-reach lights you'll need a remote power on/off system, such as this: https://www.amazon.com/Clapper-Activated-Detection-Appliances-Technology/dp/B0000CGKLR Clap twice for two seconds.... and clap twice again for 8 seconds. Clap twice for two seconds.... and clap twice again for 8 seconds. Clap twice for two seconds.... and clap twice again for 8 seconds.

https://comicbook.com/marvel/2019/06/19/avengers-endgame-theatrical-re-release-extra-footage-kevin-feige Tl;dr they're giving the latest Avengers movie a cinematic re-release with six whole minutes of extra footage. Mostly (I suspect) to push it over the line to break Avatar's box office records.

So my partner works for an NGO and is trying to raise $20k to fund a project. One of the board members has a potential donor on the line and my partner was feeling super bad about trying to butter this rich dude up for money because $20k is obviously a lot. But then it was pointed out that the rich dude is worth about $1bn, so $20k for him is literally the equivalent (relative to net worth) of $10 for us. That made her feel much better.

It's actually less, it's like 1 cent. A million dollars is like one cent, in that losing it will make absolutely no difference to his life in any way whatsoever. $10 for a lot of people will be the difference of being bale to pay a power bill or not.

$20,000 to someone with $1 billion ($1,000,000,000) net worth is the mathmatical equivalent of $2 to someone with $100,000 net worth. So, if you make a great salary and decide to buy a McDonalds double-cheeseburger it will have about the same impact to some guy with a billion bucks. If you took half that guy's wealth and distributed it, you could have: 500 new millionaires instantly or provide a $10,000 tuition benefit to 50,000 college students or fund a ~30,000 student public school district for a year or basically anything else you can think of that would substantially improve thousands of people's lives

yes precisely why she's no longer feeling guilty about asking him for $20k, and also not at all worried about trying to keep him on the hook for a multi-million dollar donation later

My favorite billionaire statistic is that someone with $1b could spend $70k every single day for 40 years before they ran out of money. Jeff Bezos can spend at that rate for 6000 years. It is necessary and proper that such spending power be concentrated in a handful of individuals.

Well yeah if you dumb poor people had that kind of money you might do something silly like spend it or otherwise use it in a way that's more economically productive than throwing it in a big pile and hoarding it like a dragon

Jeff Bezos can spend at that rate for 6000 years. Mmm well kind of but only if they get 0 return on that billion to begin with. 5-10% roi on $1b is $50-$100 million which means they could spend significantly more than $70k/day and still break even at the end of the year.  $70k a day is roughly $2.1m a month so spending that amount out of a billion in principle would mean at the end of the year you have more than you started with even just assuming about 5% return. Even accounting for capital gains tax I think. Moridin920 has issued a correction as of 15:49 on Jun 20, 2019 |

Had a call from a citizen today. Apartment keeps flooding with backed up sewage. Landlord's solution? Bring in some fans to dry it up and bitch about tenants flushing diapers. Citizen: "They're so quick to want the rent money but if you need help you can't get a hold of them." Nail on the head, lady. There's a reason the landlords are the first against the wall in any revolution.

So we got a new site manager this week and his first change is to add onto our No Fault Point system. Under the current system you get a written warning at 4 points, verbal at 6, suspension at 8, and termination at 10. A point lasts a full year before it falls off. You get 1 point for missing over half a day. 1/2 for missing 6 minutes to half a day. 1/2 for being less than 6 minutes late. Well now if you have over 5 1/2 points you get no raise. Instead your raise gets cut up and distributed to everyone under that score

So you can have 5 extra vac days a year and still get a rise? Losing your job because you're 30 seconds late 20 days a year is some great bullshit. Basically get all your employees up in points and you can basically fire them at will for dumb reasons and deny everyone a raise. Up against the wall. E: do you get points back if they ask you to stay 30 seconds late?

lol what kind of doublespeak is this 'no fault point system' bullshit? it's very clearly a graduating series of faults and punishments! yes I know, the 'no fault' part is actually a reference to the employer, because it's a universal standard with no room for manager oversite, they can't be held at fault and sued for wrongful termination or uneven enforcement I do love the way that every place that uses it inevitably gets angry when someone min-maxes the system either riding up to the "cool, nothing bad happens until x point. I'll always be under x" or "So half day is the same as being 5 minutes late? Cool, I'm always going to be < 5 minutes late, or else I have a half day"

'no fault' is just a way of saying that they don't care what the reason was for your absence/tardiness. In other words, no extenuating circumstances matter or will ever help you, get hosed.

using bullshit points systems to fire people for cause is so you can deny people unemployment benefits yes there is a hilarious conflict of interest in letting a former employer make more money by denying you unemployment benefits

If it pops up as you scan, usually that score is biometric matching. So how accurate a read it got/certainty of the valid scan, not tied to you meeting your schedule.
