@yesnoprobablyso @IterIntellectus They weigh the bags so that if it crosses the weight threshold, two baggage handlers lift it instead of one for their protection.
@JesusChristt@CJHandmer@IterIntellectus If all the bags were under 50 pounds, they only have to pay one guy to load. If they have to pay two people, the money has to come from somewhere. It comes from the overweight bag fee.
@khichi@IterIntellectus It has to do with OSHA regulations. If a bag crosses a certain weight, it takes two people to carry. Not to do with weight on the plane.
@WLannuier @RedEviction 30K after taxes is like 38K pre-tax. 38,000/52=$730/week.730/40=18.20 an hour. Aka more than double the federal minimum wage, and more than state minimum wage in every state, including California, Washington, New York, and D.C.
@corbinsupremacy@vanillaopinions That’s at LEAST a double some kind of bourbon. Probably around 200-250. A tomato is about 20. Spinach maybe 5, cucumber another 20. Lettuce bed probably 8-10 for a cup. So 250-300 cals pre salad dressing. 2 tbsp of ranch dressing is about 300. Depends entirely on dressing choice.
@OneEightyThreee @register_shift@my_ankles@esjesjesj The percentage of people earning minimum wage is decreasing each year. Still, even if you made DOUBLE the minimum wage, 14.50*40*52=30,160. Meaning that if tax is a flat rate of 4,000 someone earning double the minimum wage has to pay a month and a half of their wages to tax.
Having a random hobby as an adult is actually hilarious. You’ll be having a day delivered directly from hell but then gotta suck it up to get to tap class by 6:30pm.
