80% of American workers get on average 11 PTO days, and that’s after 1 year on the job.
Why does the U.S. Senate believe it deserves 180+ PTO vacation days per year paid by us for bare minimum work, most of which is done by their staffers?
Ridiculous.
In December, an 85-year-old North Carolina widow called a tree company begging for firewood, she said she was cold and couldn't heat her home.
The owner delivered it free and then fixed her roof, her heat, her car, raised $20,000 for her Christmas... and STILL maintains her property free, checking on her every week.
Her name is Nana Abernathy. She had just lost her husband and was struggling to survive on her own when she made that call last December.
Paul Brittain, the owner, showed up with the firewood himself. No charge.
But while he was there, he noticed things: a leaking roof, a broken heating unit, a car that needed tires.
So he came back, this time with his whole crew.
They fixed the roof.
Replaced the heat.
Put new tires on her car.
All for free.
Then, for Christmas, Paul raised $20,000 for her.
To this day, he maintains her property at no charge and checks on her every single week, just to make sure she's okay.
He has never charged her a dime.
This is the America I love!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
@barrycunningham Musk isn't asking anyone for money. He's giving it away. Yes. There's chance involved, but unlike REAL lotteries there is no transfer of funds from participants to Musk.
@Callihan_ Thanks, Schuyler, for this cogent analysis of Carolina's most recent moves re leadership. I think Mr. Tepper et al. have (finally!) made the right decisions. It's definitely looking up for the team.
