Acebuckeye13 posted:Also I just want to address this point from the article that redneck nazgul posted because lol You subcontract everything to a temp agency that uses independent contractors. Many service industries have been doing this for a long time. Its very common for call centers for example. Even within the auto industry temps are used on the line a lot of places and all they'd have to do there is to switch agencies to get the total cost of employees down.

I guess Obama used American drones and all of those Americans killed under CIA orders during drug wars were “accidents” so technically correct?

Smiling Jack posted:holy gently caress what am I looking at An AQI pm2.5 of 999. Not great but not terrible either. The top picture and the bottom half off the second... quote:Sunita Devi, 42, was among those who offered prayers as she stood in the toxic foam of the Yamuna, so thick and frothy from industrial and domestic pollution it made the water resemble a putrid bubble bath. The irony that this was a ritual meant to give thanks to the sun god for sustaining life on earth was not lost on her.

Cyks posted:I'm pretty certain the whole "okay, Boomer" thing originated from Gen Z anyways but it doesn't stop everyone from calling millennials ageists. Really though defining people by a 15 year age gap is dumb and Boomer has just turned into slang for older conservatives and Millennials are just younger progressives, relative to the speaker. Originally: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/30-year-old-boomer Its gen z making fun of millenials for doing "kids these days" type things. The origin is being obnoxious about bitcoin just like boomers were/are about gold, the second instance is about arena shooters is making fun of millenial gamers that don't like BRs and are trying to make UT/Quake a thing again as if its 2004.

If the Supreme Court them decided term limits are unfair and Pence tried to run again in 2032? Or would you do everything in your power to topple the nascent dictator? I don't speak spanish so I can't comment on what the Bolivian constitutional amendment says but the US amendment on the topic explicitly covers that situation.
