As of July 2023, ten states have banned underage marriages, with no exception: Delaware (2018),[3] New Jersey (2018),[4] Pennsylvania (2020),[5] Minnesota (2020),[6] Rhode Island (2021),[7] New York (2021),[8] Massachusetts (2022),[9] Vermont (2023),[10] Connecticut (2023)[11] and Michigan (2023).[12]
It's especially super cool when parents marry their underage teenage daughter to her rapist, and then he becomes her legal guardian. I'll let you guess which major political party overwhelmingly supports this.
Back in the day I worked in a restaurant that closed down, and the owner tried to steal all of our last two weeks' pay.
It had been announced ahead of time that the place was going to close at the end of the month, and we were actually a very popular place, so the last two weeks were completely sold out, crazy busy, and there should have been lots of tips. After we closed, they kept dragging out the date we could get out last paychecks, then finally just tried saying, "there won't be any last paychecks."
All of us employees got together with a lawyer and they sent a letter saying that they needed to give us our last paychecks or we would file a class action lawsuit for all the tips they'd been stealing out of the tip pool. He then relented and agreed to pay us our last checks, but refused to mail them. When I went to pick up the check, dude really had the balls to try to shake my hand and say, "Hey Turtle Joe, how's the summer going? Take any vacations or anything?"
I left him hanging and said, "No I've been out of work for months now. I'm not here to talk to you, I just need my check."
P.S. we sued him for wage theft anyway and ended up taking him for almost $200k.
"Yeah I had skin cancer. Nothing major but I had to take it easy and after beating it we all went on vacation to celebrate"
It may depend on where you live, but it may be illegal for an employer to ask about anything medical in an interview. I have a two plus year gap and if I get asked about it, I just say, "illness." They can't ask any follow up questions.
I have occasionally expounded on it, saying, "I'm fully recovered now." Just to reassure them that I don't expect to miss work due to illness in the future.
American evangelicals believe that Israel needs to be in Jewish hands in order for the rapture to come about.
It's important to remember that these people don't care about the Jewish people having a homeland or anything like that, they just want to bring about the end of the world.
Did you specifically choose 100 years in order to not include the Great Famine in Ireland? Or what the East India company did in India? Lassez faire capitalism in action right there, baby.
How about US funded right wing death squads in central and South America that eliminated whole peoples in the 70s and 80s? There are entire languages that are no longer spoken in countries like Guatemala because the people who spoke it were all murdered systematically with US taxpayer money.
I'm with the commies on this one. We need to nationalize utilities like energy distribution. No reason to have a profit seeking entity in charge of necessities like electricity.
"Elon musk is a drooling socialist cuck who is apparently far too cowardly to meet my challenge of a firm July 4th, 2024 launch date for his personal mission to mars. Jeff bezos could easily do this if he wasn't too busy actually running the company that he owns."
Rs will not allow any more funding for the IRS. You saw how they freaked out when there was finding to hire new IRS agents as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, even though it was to replace existing agents as they retire, not expand the workforce.
I have a state issued non driver Real ID. I guess if you're outside the US there may be different ID laws, but the Real ID works for everything, including flying.
I guess they're doing all those antarctic sea ice readings at airports, and that the water temperatures off the coast of Florida were actually taken at airports, and all of Texas must be one large airport.
Nah. My favorite team actually made the super bowl recently. They lost, and it sucked. I was kinda upset about it for maybe a day, but there were no real consequences.
There are definitely funny moments that pop up with Trump's illegal shit. The 4 seasons landscaping presser, and potentially this one, etc, but overall, if my "team" loses this whole thing, then it's going to be a real problem. For everybody.
Dorsey agrees with Musk on this stuff. He has said before that he didn't want to ban Trump after J6 and that he was against banning Nazi accounts, but did it because it was a public company, and they kinda had to.
Now he and his buddies are trying to roll out their own social media protocol, bluesky, which is built specifically to not allow Nazis to be banned.
Lol, it's legal in the vast majority of states.
