That child totally had it coming. Nobody should be able to be out at dusk except cars.

The MLK quote is this:
"the ultimate measure of a [leader] is not where [they] stand in the moments of comfort and convenience, but where [they] stand in times of challenge and controversy."
It just sounds like she's criticizing herself to me.

are newly hired contractors counted in the "added 517,000 jobs" or is that only FTEs/W2 employees

Very normal and sane economy where at least 5% of people are supposed to be jobless to prevent runaway inflation while we scream at them to get jobs and provide a sorry excuse for a social safety net.

got caught in this big layoff today

https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2023/02/08/affirm-cuts-19percent-of-workforce-shares-tank-on-earnings-miss.html

the scene in the group chat was kind of wild, we got the announcement of the workforce cut and we’re told that we’d find out in several
minutes if we we’re getting laid off like it was a lottery. Then whoever was in charge of revoking privileges on our work station got a little trigger happy and people started disappearing from
the work chat in the middle of being confused and asking what the hell was happening. Id already been planning on going somewhere else so it didn’t piss me off that much but uh my coworker who gives birth in 5 days was not thrilled.

They're a point of sale consumer loan company, one of the really big ones. Buy now, pay later stuff. For a while they were absolutely making GBS threads out 0% loans for basically everything.

The bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionising the instruments of production, and thereby the relations of production, and with them the whole relations of society. Conservation of the old modes of production in unaltered form, was, on the contrary, the first condition of existence for all earlier industrial classes. Constant revolutionising of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.

Depends. Certain vendors (peloton, amazon, other big brands) had a guarantee of 0% apr no matter how bad someone’s credit was as part of whatever hosed up contract they had with said vendors but i’d see people with 2 year long loans with like 25%+ APR where they were essentially paying double the price if they were just paying monthly minimum. I already had one foot out the door here so i’m glad to no longer have to look at people being tricked into absolutely awful loan agreements
