  1. They're always trying to get people on a forklift so they can piss test them.
  2. If there were enough people that actually wanted to work those hours you wouldn't have to pay any more than during weekdays.
  3. Man that would suck to have all those Fortune 500 companies and their jobs
  4. Then you wind up in voice mail jail for two days. Better off taking care of it at the time than turning one phone call into five.
  5. I suppose the difference is that in the '80s and '90s those guys were always getting laid off whereas today they are gold.
  6. Good for them. They probably have 5 kids already and transfer all childcare to their 3 babies' mommas. Today's work situations have no idea that things don't work like that for the majority of people thinking it's the '70s or something. People went to college.
  7. When you shift from money poverty to time poverty a lot of interesting things happen. 1) You buy everything new instead of try to fix things 2) You have to pay people to do things for you that you did for yourself before 3)Everything is closed while you aren't at work or sleeping so you have to negotiate in order to do anything while businesses and other are open 4)Anybody discretionary avoids you so you only talk to mandatories 5)Terrible food 6)Sleep deprivation because phones constantly ring at 8-9AM no matter what your schedule is
  8. Is it all night and weekend work though? You couldn't pay me $150K a year to go back to that stuff. It ruined my life. I suppose all night and weekend work is good for people who had accident kids or guys who only care about video games.
  9. If California had better policy people a lot of their "side effects" would go away.
  10. Nope, the bad policy sticks around since "that's how we do it around here" and becomes "part of our identity"
  11. Because most state policy people aren't very good. This goes for all states. When Republicans insist on everything being handled by the states their goal of dysfunctional government is achieved.
  12. Tuttle Mall is going through the same thing basically.
  13. A friend of mine from college (who didn't finish) refused to leave serving until he found a wife. Somebody warned him how hard it is to find one when you work jobs that pay well for men who didn't graduate college. Sure enough he would up being a superintendent of a golf course, a job that fulfilled its stereotype of being you and one teenager or retiree.
  14. Especially since apps only work for outgoing people of secure attachment style. So maybe 30 percent of the population. And that's before you lose all the people grossed out by the commitidization of human beings by apps. What's going to happen if people have to go back to meeting their mates in high school is all that divorce and bad relationships seen from relationships that came from that requirement back in the 50s and 60s when people didn't go to college and worked 100 percent gender-segregated jobs.
  15. Everybody talks about how good WFH is for people who already have kids but there will be a lot fewer kids if WFH keeps up. I'm not saying "get with a co-worker" but through their personal network you meet a lot of people. That way people don't have to depend so much on their friggin' high school.
  16. GCrites replied to ColDayMan's post in a topic in Sports Talk
    Then I go back and think about the things that never crossed my mind in my 20s when I was out and about.
  17. Not a parking lot -- a junkyatd! Hard to tell because of the snow.
  18. That's a good question. CD 9.29 was still using the term in their promos a couple years ago but they had to cut all new promos when they changed the damn number.
  19. And it is over 900 when you include what's underwater. But Ashtabula swells to over 1300 when you include water.
  20. I don't even bother with freeways if I'm going from Downtown to Pickaway County, at least until High Street gives way to 23. And that's why putting good jobs Downtown is more fair then lumping them all in a few suburbs way on one end of town.
  21. Kentucky has an enormous amount of counties. And it's not like Ohio where the counties only vary in size by like. 10%.
  22. Equities markets got spoiled under ZIRP. They got addicted to it.
  23. Anybody remember doing this in 7th grade Ohio History class? We had to memorize counties and their seats, around 15 at a time. The teacher split up the state into regions.
