What you're referring to sounds like a classic two-tier wage structure. Everyone hired after a certain date works at a lower pay scale and never has an opportunity to progress to the higher rate. That stuff is toxic and my Union refuses to even consider it. Employers don't even try it with us anymor...

They're also saying that Trump's arrests endeared him to the black population. His mug shot gives him street cred.

A fried egg is a chicken.

Sorry for your luck, being in a union and working for Obama. No need to be sorry for my luck. It wasn't luck that brought me to the Union. I signed up. Without my nice Union pension, I couldn't afford to live the life I live. I wasn't working for Obama. I was working for my Union. Foreigners are no...

Whomever made the decision to ditch Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility without first ensuring the successor software was reliable needs to be fired, if that has not already happened. The Google OS on 2024 models has proven to be a disaster of epic proportions. https://www.freep.com/story/...

I have a set of Sylvania I bought about 20years ago. I use them for only one thing, We have satellite TV and occasioally I have to make a slight adjustment in the position of the dish. As I'm doing it, my wife watches the on-screen signal strength monitor and reads it out to me. Then I put them away...

A gynecologist was waiting for his final patient of the day to arrive for her 4:00 PM appointment. Four o’clock came but the patient hadn’t arrived. By 4:15 she still hadn’t showed up and it seemed that she wouldn’t keep her appointment. Since he had no more patients for that day, the Doctor decide...

Some of them claim to have a range of twenty-five miles or thirty miles. I expect that a more realistic number might be one mile.

Is FRS a real thing? Is there a practical use for it, or is it just a plaything for kids?

Just for the record, if anyone is interested, I'm opposed to abortion on moral grounds. If the woman was someone in my life,, I would try to talk her out of it. But, in the end, it's a decision to be made by the woman and her Doctor. Neither I, nor the state, has the right to impose my morality on o...
