@LissaJoStewart City and town ordinances exist to keep neighborhoods safe, sanitary, and from becoming a dump. HOAs exist only for busybodies to power trip.
Me and four other customers are sitting in our cars outside of a store waiting for it to open. It opened five minutes ago. Are we all waiting to avoid being the first person inside? Do we all have the same anxiety about not wanting to be the first to inconvenience the staff?
@onmytitswhaaaat @blkgirlacid@ladidaix@Phil_Lewis_ Honestly did you even read the first sentence of the article you posted? Children working ILLEGALLY. That's already illegal. This new law is significant because there's nothing right now that makes it illegal for parents to exploit their children online.
@Writerchiq @fuckyouiquit In the US, employees ARE entitled to a living wage. That's literally the basis of the FLSA. Which, surprise surprise, is why employees are demanding a minimum wage overhaul. Because business owners like you will NEVER pay fairly without government regulation.
@McFaul More senseless and tragic than a 20 year war to replace the Taliban with the Taliban? You could have just stopped at wars are senseless and tragic. But I guess it took this senseless and tragic war to get you to pay attention.
@mrsduges@ToastnEgg@AP And the article provides zero evidence of that in the three cases it cites. It does however indicate that cops who enter dangerous situations may find themselves in dangerous situations. It is part of the job. Not a conspiracy to target cops. It is an exaggeration.
@mrsduges@ToastnEgg@AP I read it. Cops going into dangerous situations and getting shot isn't "targeting" cops. It's an unfortunate reality of the job but yes, the article and headline indicating that cops are being "ambushed" is an exaggeration.
@jz_cdmx@waitbutwhy@kottke Is equivalent age like dog years? Hamilton died at 49, Burr at 80, Jefferson at 83, Monroe at 73, Ross at 84, Madison at 85, Adams at 90, Revere at 83, and Washington at 67. A 20 year old 250 years ago is equivalent to a 20 year old today.
