Parents are hiring 'moms' to iron sheets and make beds for their college students away from home

Nice hustle; I should look into doing this for the local private U students, although they can learn to do their own drat laundry.

assuming a multiplier of 3.0, that means they're only paying out <$20/hr in wages (plus travel is on your own time/dime), probably around $15. that's really bad pay to clean up after entitled college students who haven't even learned how to apply soap their body in a shower or learned how to press 'start' on a washing machine

afeels like this startup is going to go the way of the Cash 4 Quarters VC startup where you'd \set up a subscription service to wire $20/week and in exchange they'd mail you a $10 roll of quarters.

It’s kind of funny anti-union/anti-worker Trump forced Biden to go to the strike

Biden should have gone before Trump announced and he should go and poo poo all over trump and his record of hurting union workers

i regret not having started sole-proprietor LLC to get $250k in PPP money, or just apply for PPP money anyways

it was free money dumped on any LLC but it was based on how many employees your business had. So (Amount) x (Employees.) Since I didn't do it I don't know if there was any verification of the numbers but my company got millions they didn't need. Some contractors I worked with got $100,000. A few shifty companies I used to work at got $400,000. None of them were shut down for a single day and all raised their prices and had record years of profit in 2020.

If it was just you claiming 1-5 employees it'd probably have been like $20,000 - $50,000.

It probably didn't help that the Grindset Real Estate Investor class with their own shell companies to do infinite mortgage combos got crop dusted with billions of free money

that whole DEMS BEAT BACK THE RED TIDE stuff last year was mainly a (fairly successful) PR effort; they lost the House & gained one senate seat in a year in which few Dem senators were up for reelection.

Dobbs was also a lot fresher in voters' minds than it will be in 2024.

also court-mandated redistricting in a number of states gave dems about a dozen seats, plus several state republican parties completely imploded and ran terrible candidates with unorganized campaigns

the person who lived here before me. She wasn't allowed to sell houses in person from April to June. Annualized, that would be three months of earning a ~$109K salary because you went through the trouble of registering a one person LLC.

e: math was wrong, that was for two months of not working. they lifted the restrictions on realtors in early June 2020

probably the only reason more people didn't take PPP money is they thought there'd be risk of an audit AND were expected to pay it back lol

Slow News Day posted:

Perfect, thanks. So that means neither Biden or Reade has any credibility issues in this specific context, of raping or being raped (since their past lying has occurred in other, irrelevant contexts).

So then the question that still needs answering is: why should we err on the side of believing Reade?

Just about the only reason I can think of is "believe all women", and it is worth noting that "believe all women" does not mean that anyone accused of raping someone immediately goes to jail for 20 years or whatever. It simply means accusers should be taken seriously and their accusations investigated, rather than dismissed immediately. And the media has done quite extensive investigating over the past three months. The problem is that what they found (or rather, have not found) has made the NoJoe crowd extremely angry, and now anyone who dares to doubt Reade is labeled a rape apologist, because you see, Biden is absolutely a rapist, and the real problem is that our standards of evidence for proving guilt are simply too high, and we should just lower them when it comes to rape on the basis that coming forward as a rape victim is really hard.

It will be interesting to see how pro union Biden is when the leading owner of all politicians, the heathcare industry, demands intervention on their behalf and we get an executive order outlawing the strike like the railroad strike

The "They are killing patients! We will negotiate but you can not be allowed to strike" headlines write themselves

It wasn't an executive order that banned the rail strike.

The Railway Labor Act required congress to vote on imposing that contract on the workers exactly as if they were voting on a law, since they easily had the bipartisan filibuster-proof votes to do that, they could just as easily pass new anti-striking laws on other industries.
