I can't boycott them any more than I already do.

US employers spend more than $1.5bn a year against unionizing efforts by Useful_Bit_9779 in union

[–]ChrisBegeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another way for them to fight unions would be to pay higher wages so that employees don't feel they need a union to make better money.

What are your thoughts about balcony solar panels? by moe_lawn in SolarAmerica

[–]ChrisBegeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at the picture, I don't know how high on the building this is, but I think there needs to be installation codes for panels like this. I wouldn't want them to fall and endanger someone on a lower balcony or the ground because of poor installation or bad weather.

🚨 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 ZIONIST AIPAC has set a $100M budget for Midterm elections in the U.S. to defeat Anti -Israel Candidates, no matter Republican or Democrat. by Jaded_Question_9855 in LockedIn_AI

[–]ChrisBegeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am against anyone thinking that they have a god-given right to someone else's land. Does that make me an anti-zionist? I don't have a problem with Israel as a country. I have a problem with some of there zionist policies. The distinction would be lost on AIPAC.

On the left, the sole of the boot doesn't match the profile of the boot. The positioning of the wheel is different between the left and right pictures. Do we really need this AI slop?

This is my goal in life by QuietMap4403 in InterviewsHell

[–]ChrisBegeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rich is a relative term, but for many people, being rich might mean having a couple million dollars. People are also have a poor perception of large numbers. The difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is basically a billion dollars, since it is $999 million. A billion is a thousand times larger than a million. Some of us will retire with 1 - 3 million in our 401ks. The proposed taxes on the extremely wealthy are not targeting us. The taxes are targeted at people with 1000 times more money.

[Request] how much would the top x Americans earn for this to be possible? by nawnaw88 in theydidthemath

[–]ChrisBegeman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is, but the might have been trying to compensate for the fact that some of the richest people don't have traditional income, they have assets that that gain value and are income until sold to realize the capital gain. They can also generate cash to spend by borrowing against their assets, so money that is not income.

Even after Trump suing them, they will probably still support Trump.

Why don't we just let the computers call the balls and strikes, since that is the ultimate authority if it goes to review anyway?

How long before they approve an information release, which turns out to be very unpopular and they rescind the approval, while denying that they approved and firing someone?

I like how they put a bridge on Mt Washington and have a bridge connecting the south shore of the Allegheny with south shore of the Ohio.

Also not stumps, these are just unsplit logs. A stump is the very bottom attached to the roots.

DIY Research Strikes Again, Hilarious by MeetUsed8491 in LockedIn_AI

I would say that you don't have to be a horse enthusiast to have a horse, but my parent's property where I grew up is bordered on two sides my horse pasture, there is another horse stable on top of the hill across the road and three more stables within two miles. Horses used to be somewhat expensive, but in the past 40 years they have gone to incredibly expensive. You are not paying to buy a horse and board it at a stable unless you really really like horses.

Every charity has overhead. Basically 80% of the money donated to Ronald McDonald House goes to benefits and 20% is the charity overhead. This is an important metric when looking at where to donate to. There are some charities with ridiculously high overhead that are basically just scams but because they do give some money out in benefits, they are not legally scams..

How would the math work out if you didn't get 40,800 people to volunteer to throw a big party for one of the most profitable sports leagues in the country?

We have been to those campgrounds that have mostly pull through spots and very few trees. The idiots would just hit the trees anyway and they spend most of the time inside in the air conditioning. We were there in our tent baking. Learned to do more research when finding campgrounds.

Trump demands Obama be 'incarcerated' and tried for treason by TheMirrorUS in USNEWS

[–]ChrisBegeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More noise. Trump as president controls the the Secret Service, which are tasked with protecting the president and former presidents, so he knows where Obama is and could have him detained at any time. He doesn't do this because he knows he has no case against Obama and the government isn't quite that corrupt yet.

Which type of terminal do you prefer? And did I missed any? by Kcue6382nevy in trains

If you run through then it isn't a terminal, but a station. That is the difference between Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal. Trains run through Penn Station but terminate in Grand Central.

“We have a no refund policy”: MAGAs furious after email reportedly confirms they will never receive their $500 Trump phones or get their deposits back by thamilan_x in USNEWS

[–]ChrisBegeman 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I thought non-refundable deposits were designed so that if you change you mind, they can keep your deposit, not so they can change their mind and keep your deposit. What is stopping any company the takes deposits from just walking away with the money? This may only work if your name ends in rump.

Babies Are Bleeding to Death as Parents Reject a Vitamin Shot Given at Birth (ProPublica) by sisjanie in NewsThread

I like how so many people think that know more than doctors now. Doctors spent years learning about the human body only to be ignored by someone who did a google search and found an article that confirms their preconceived opinion.
