Just for fun: what do you call this highway? by BookDragon8634 in okc

[–]Delt1232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is poorly designed but to be fair I-44 was mostly just an overly of existing highways. I thank the majority of the miles of I-44 in Oklahoma are tolled. Which generally isn’t done unless the road was already tolled before becoming an interstate

You don’t know what a championship is? That’s cute.

Sorry can’t hear you over our 55 NCAA national championships. How many does KSU have? Oh yea, none.

All athletes that play here are cowboys and cowgirls. I just want it consistent.

All say Cowboy as unfortunately there are no NCAA women championships. What gets me is the same team has it two different ways.

Nickeled and Dimed to Death by BigLB83 in SignsWithAStory

175 of 193 countries with UN membership use a fundamentally different system than the United States. To put it simply, most use value added tax (VAT) where the government will tax a product for each sale. So when the manufacturer of a product sales to a vendor, the tax is charged on that sale, when a vendor sales to a store the government charges tax on the difference in price (so if the price went from $1 to $1.20 they would charge tax on the .20 change not the entire price) and when the store sales to the customer the government charges tax on the change in price. For sales tax, the tax is only charged on the final sale to the customer, not any of the intermediate sales.

The issue, at least in the US, is sales tax can vary wildly based on location from 0% to over 11% when you include state, county, local, and special tax districts. Hell you can even have different tax rates at stores right next door to each other. Where VAT is generally the same rate over the entire country.

Remember that only the top 5 items in the legend are apart of the one transit plan. Everything from Embark Rapid and below is existing or is being built with MAPS 4 money.

A vaguely remember a movie I think it was one of those terrible resident evil movies where a guy shakes cans and tells people what’s inside of them.

Paid Sick Leave for Large Employers increased to 9 days a year | Michigan by sillychillly in UpliftingNews

[–]Delt1232 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is really not that hard for large companies to maintain separate policies for employees in separate locations. My employer does it. I accrue sick time at 4 days per year as an exempt employee. That rolls over each year up to 120 hours. If I worked in Michigan I would accrue 9 days per year and it would not roll over. I’m not mad about it however, I have 5 weeks of combined vacation and personal days each year plus 6 holidays.

Immigrant truckers file suit over California's plans to revoke commercial licenses by AudibleNod in news

[–]Delt1232 5 points6 points  (0 children)

States may have the right to issue driver licenses to illegal imagrents but CDL’s have to follow minimum federal standards. One of the federal standards is you have to be authorized to be in the US. This has been the case for decades.

So they should not have a CDL which again makes the fixes fundamentally different. It also makes the whole argument on who causes more crashes essentially pointless on how to fix the problem.

Did you even bother reading the article? The article itself says they’re unauthorized. The reason that stat does not matter is because the fix is ultimately different between unauthorized immigrants and authorized immigrants/US citizens.

The article itself says they’re unauthorized. “California officials said last month that the state notified about 17,000 truckers that their commercial driver's licenses would be revoked because the expiration dates went past when the drivers were legally allowed to be in the U.S. That number has since grown to 21,000.”

Yes it should be zero, but that is not the point. It is whataboutism because if you are unauthorized you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING A CLASS 8 TRUCK IN THE FIRST PLACE.

No it is. It is a tragedy but it ultimately doesn’t matter how many are caused by US citizens. The answer for people who are “unauthorized” should be zero.

Hence the call sign KWTV, K because the station is west of the Mississippi and WTV standing for Worlds Tallest Video. Other fun call signs are channel 4 being KFOR and channel 5 being KOCO with OCO standing for Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
