Wage theft dwarfs and eclipses any other type of theft COMBINED. But how many cops are arresting CEOs for that? How many in jail? 0

Except switching jobs is far easier, less risky and usually the only way to get an actual salary bump?.. yes, “just like”

It’s worth realizing some people do not want to be cheered up.
I get that 100% and, although I am sure I made the mistake before, I am trying hard to understand and respect these boundaries
I am just saying I believe wearing such a pin to avoid people would have a noticeable cobra effect

You don’t think people would go “aww how come you are down? Let me cheer you up”?

Same here… we get one day in the office, I have tried to make the best of it but nobody cares, I find myself there with less than half the team to:
-
hop around until I get a desk where everything I need works
-
get interrupted by people not on my team all the time because why not say hi
-
get complaints because all my meetings are Teams anyway and everyone is mad they hear a crowd when I am not unmuted
-
Lose 45 mins of my life getting ready and another 1.5 in traffic (round trip) to work less in the office

Gotta love how the articles frames it. While at work people “kill time” with tik tok but at home they “goof off” folding laundry

Oh please, there are hundreds of not thousands of so G’s about suicide out there and they don’t have warnings
Stop being so overly cynic, trust me, it’s not as edgy as you think it is

By that low bar then, there is nothing special in the video either. It’s not like journalists own the only cameras and access to the internet and accidentally let Miller spew vitriol
Maga mouths can always do that freely, openly and unchallenged on their own. The fact that a simple question made Miller lose his shit and throw a tantrum may not disuade the morons but it definitely is not a win either

THAT is likely… but even then I am still concerned that, once the Democrats hopefully win, they’ll be all “let bygones be bygones” AGAIN

- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 2 months ago:
Because, on Trump’s side, it’s a full blown cult.
Trump can literally poop his pants on national tv and eat a mouthful of shit and his acolytes would clap in unison
However, most people not deranged enough to worship a politician could/would be turned off if that politician, Kamala on our scenario, blatantly lies or makes fun of a disable person or rapes someone

My wife and I have a good marriage but my sense of humour is vastly different from hers. It happens often I tell her a joke and she just doesn’t get it while I can barely finish the joke without laughing… it doesn’t mean our marriage is shitty nor lifeless
- Comment on Community solves homelessness... By paying cops over 3 million dollars 2 months ago:
engaged with roughly 215 people on the street
Key word being “engaged”, later the slip in there that 80% end up not getting “helped”
- Comment on Community solves homelessness... By paying cops over 3 million dollars 2 months ago:
Are they supposed to name the exact agencies and businesses involved
Yes, it’s called transparency. Maybe they didn’t have to mention them all but a single concrete example would have definitely helped.
But you know what they did repeat in the article? the fact that they are pushing for people not to give money to the homeless directly
Douglas County had created a team of experts, known as the “Homeless Engagement, Assistance and Resource Team," to help tackle the issue. The HEART team, as county officials call it, is made up of experts in behavioral health and who are deployed in branded vehicles to help people living on the streets.
Ok, that sounds like a great start… let’s see what they actually do… <insert crickets here, not a single follow up>
Here’s how the county handles it. When a report is made about a panhandler or a homeless person, a HEART vehicle is deployed to the area and make an assessment.
Yes, they are basically making panhandling illegal… they are very quick to dispatch police (yes the “HEART” team is also the police) as soon as homeless are reported
Laydon called Douglas County’s approach “housing plus,” which, he said, is a balanced approach to “trauma-informed practices.”
Cool, what does that mean? how it is balanced? how is it different?. Zero details = Vague
“For us,” Laydon added, “‘housing plus’ means wraparound. So, it is housing, but it is also food, shelter, job counseling, mental health counseling. It’s treating those substance abuse issues that we know often come hand in hand with a lot of the issues that the unhoused face.”
This one is actually the first sentence from the article that addresses the real question… yet no mention as to where any of these services are done. They are just shipping people off county The entire $3+ million budget was spent on the “HEART” team to basically find and ship homeless out of county… out of sight out of mind!
Edit: Additionally, I fail to see the relevance of money spent if it actually results in less people unhoused. Denver spent way more money and ended up with a higher unhoused population than before.
So if a county spends $3 million to move 37 homeless people out of county or $10 million to move 1 it’s all the same to you? A basic definition of the effectiveness of a social program is to measure that #1 it accomplishes the goal it set out to do and #2 at what cost…
- Comment on Community solves homelessness... By paying cops over 3 million dollars 2 months ago:
Did you?
They spent almost $3 million in helping 37 people in 2 years (that’s $81,000 a pop) with very vague “getting them help”. Very much looks like most of what they do is ship them to out of county
