  On the platform that is the echo chamber that is truth social it’s more likely that they just want to keep it that way. Similar to how Elon changed the data of grok after not agreeing with that grok produced after using all news media.

  That’s the absolutely more likely explanation that licensing costs …

  Are cruise lines as a mode of transportation still around? Cruise ships are for leisure now, but they were previously much more prevalent.

  what most other nations are charged

  I hate when news takes this incorrect stance over. The people charged are the citizens of usa.

  I dislike the mowing robots because they seem to encourage the Flatt grass only gardens and I hate them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cathy, do the math.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, because the union contract defines the absolute minimum of the rate, and union members can also earn more.

  This will be my last response, it’s frustrating, these are basic principles of how these contracts work and I’m tired of explaining it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cathy, do the math.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The contract negotiated by the unions just defines the minimum, union members can earn more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cathy, do the math.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s just personal negotiation then. And nothing that this top level comment was talking about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cathy, do the math.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You are saying it’s union members vs non union members being separated.

  And it’s not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cathy, do the math.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The people the contract is with, maybe all employees of the company have the agreement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cathy, do the math.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t read it like that. The sentence just says that their pay rate has that amount, not that it is connected to them not being a union member.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How likely is the US government going to identify and arrest every online user who have disagreed with the current administration?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There was this news report about a french scientist being denied entry to USA, because they critiqued the science budget cuts. While not arrested or something, it’s still telling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cathy, do the math.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it’s preferential pay. It’s just that they pay more, somebody in the union also can get more money than the union minimum. Somebody not part of the union can get less or more than somebody in the union, just not below the union minimum.

  It’s not that if they join the union that they get less money. The union + 0.5 just means that they earn better than the minimum and the employer gives them more than the minimum, because people like that.

  At least that’s how it works where I live and union contracts are common.
