  • I don't lie to anyone except my employer. They are not owed any explanation or insight into my personal life, and personally I feel that that is the only acceptable instance for me to lie at this point in my life.

    Circumstances change, but I generally try and lie as little as possible.

  • I absolutely agree, there's skill in almost any job. But that's a whole other argument I didn't want to get into with this dude.

    Tbh I imagine an actually unskilled job is being the CEO of a large corporation

  • The CEO could not do what a package handler or driver does. That is also a fact.

    Unskilled jobs still NEED to be done. They are NOT OPTIONAL. That is also a fact.

    Do you believe that unskilled laborers do not deserve to be paid a living wage? Do you happen to know what the living wage in your nearest major city is? I ask because that's where all of the ups part timers work. They are not able to live in low income towns and rural areas because that's not where the hubs are.

  • Mechanics make very good money with ups because of the union. This specific negotiation was for part time workers and drivers, negotiating higher base pay for all part timers and drivers, AC in drivers trucks, and better benefits.

    The contract for mechanics and pilots will largely remain the same because again, these are some of the more lucrative jobs at ups.

    The union ceases to exist without the companies that have unionized. What you are saying is antithetical to the idea and nature of a union.

    The CEO of ups made $19 million last year. I think they can afford to pay her less and their actual workers more.

  • Yes the world would be a better place if people looking to profit in the world didn't have to ensure that their products were safe, regulated, and taxed appropriately. Business owners should just be able to make their own rules.

    Nah man I'd say that shit it stupid too. It's difficult to build a lithium mine in the United States for pretty good reasons, especially surrounding regulation and safety.

  • There is a carpet store and restaurant near my house, and in the three years I've lived here I can't recall seeing anyone buy anything or even visit either store a single time.

    Once my partner and I actually walked over to check it out and the carpet store was closed and all of the windows were covered. It was like 4 in the afternoon on a Wednesday, so I can't imagine why it would be closed.

    There's supposedly a lot of Russian gang activity in my area, so I'm assuming it's just a front for them but I've never really confirmed it.

  • My favorite was Linux, but I got really into producing music and fl studio and all of my vsts don't run in Linux afaik. I'm just not willing to throw away the money I've spent and try and find open source alternatives
