You can get meters that clamp over the wire, no electrician required.

Or just your direct reports' direct reports.

I'm the same.

But we also pay 5-6% more for everything as a society, or whatever credit cards are charging merchants now a days.

Mostly, but there are also higher egress standards for bedrooms that pretty much any other room.

Might also be some fire issues with kitchens. Or other things I don't know.

Everything is probably doable within office zoning, but there is no point of its just but as an office.

What about indirect reports?

Offsides, bud!

Preaching to the choir here.

Come check out my Olifans.

A cheetah can run up to 95kph 120kph.

So the joke is the car is still in motion.

Basically once the show outpaced the books it went to shit.

If you didn't like the first season, maybe just jump in at season two for your next watch?

No dramas, I was being cheeky. I've also read the books. I was pleasantly surprised with how well the show portrayed the books (merging of some characters, but expected). Until a point...

I read the books

How? They still aren't written yet.

yes

Just paint a yellow line and call it a day.

Or leave them there. Let foreign interference put effort into these people. Pull the rug right at/just before election.

Pull the rug now and there is time to turn more politicians.

This is a fair part assesment, however you also have to consider how people take care of their tools. A 40 year old tool that looks as beat up as a 5 year old tool has been taken care of better by the owner/user.

That said, I feel like we all have that massive sacrificial flat head that's no longer flat, super warped, got electrical bites, and still keeps chugging.

Cool, which regions?

For example, if I'm not mistaken, California has similar laws on the books and I am fairly certain that uber and lyft include tips in the hourly min. They will probably do similar up your way unless your law makers are some how much smarter and tougher than ours and thought through the possible ways they could work this law.

According to this source

Tips from people receiving the service do not count toward earnings

So that should address that one.

If you allow me to combine:

if I'm not mistaken, California has similar laws on the books

And

I'm going on the presumption that they will do what they will do and that politicians are going to be similar regardless of country or tax laws, etc.

According to this source

"In the middle of an affordability crisis, a ridesharing expense rate that is over 50% higher than the comparable rate in California is unreasonable — and we encourage the government to reconsider the consequences for British Columbians who rely on rideshare and delivery," emailed Keerthana Rang, the Canadian communications lead for Uber.

So I would think the laws must differ if it makes it comparatively 50% more expensive than California (50% expensive to who? Not sure, I'm guessing the companies are explicitly opaque on that)

As for

If you can prove that Canada is somehow impervious to what they have done everywhere since these companies have existed, I'll move asap

No one is impervious, the government could change any day and upend the decision. What I can speak to is the current government, who say things like, according to this source :

At an unrelated news conference Friday, B.C. Premier David Eby said despite complaints, regulations will not change. "These companies can suck it up. They'll be alright,. They'll be fine," he said.

Which shows a bit of commitment from the serving party. And also, beyond this salary minimum (it is a minimum, companies are allowed to pay more) they've promised to action the following items according to this source :

All ride-hailing service and delivery workers will be covered through WorkSafeBC. Companies will be required to see the location and estimated pay for a job before it is accepted. If workers are suspended or deactivated from an app, companies must tell them why. Companies must ensure 100 per cent of the tips paid by customers go directly to the worker responsible for the service. Establish a 35- to 45-cent minimum per-kilometre vehicle allowance to help workers cover expenses.

While BC is the starting point, politicians aren't the champion of this movement, it's UFCW. What union do you belong to?

The issue is that your assumptions are based on how USA legal, employment, and tax systems work. These are different in Canada.

I'm not saying that aren't valid points, I'm saying those points don't necessarily apply.

Bacon thrice.

Coffee thrice.
