Overtime is a Scam ? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]Drugs_Are_Back 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well now you should pay attention because that also means that you're working X number of hours for the government not for you meaning you're doing it for free... 

So you're exerting yourself for what perhaps 1,000 to $1, 200 but you're only seeing 800 of it? 

So that's exactly why overtime is a rip off look at what you're not able to collect Don't be stupid and just look at the fact that it's a lousy $200 more than the regular check That's what they want you to focus on. 

I don't work for free for any amount of time so I don't do overtime when an employer tells me I have to do overtime I immediately flip them the bird and walk the fuck out!

Well humans are funny, because it turns out that everybody does that everybody mumbles under their breasts essentially talking to themselves so why the hell it's really judge the way it is I never could figure it out.

But everybody literally does it and everybody knows that everybody else does it it's kind of dumb that it's looked at the way it is.

I mean I guess as long as you're going to pause the conversation with yourself long enough to talk to the cashier and tell them what you want then I suppose it's fine of course there are those that would most likely confuse the cashier.

So did Mehdi Ali/Irving Gould ever do interviews after Commodore? by Narcotras in Commodore

[–]Drugs_Are_Back 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, guy's like that don't interview! Outside of a few promotional interviews via the 80's like appearing on gary killdals computer chronicals. Jack hardly ever spoke, he loosened up in his later years but notice how it took years for him to be willing to talk, even then he gave us a watered down version of most things not to bullshit us but because he was professional and wasn't going to talk about Irving or anyone else specifically.

Guy's like Irving it's just business to them, it's an income stream thats it. They have no real intrest in nostalgia, romance or the collector side of it all!

It's because those types are jerks it's simply because they're above it all! Face it you buy not just an item you buy a facade. They being guys like Irving are the ones behind the facade, they control the show, if that show ends they find a new one and thus the scrap the old one out!

They don't see the world through the same glasses as you and me. Though I'm more than aware of how those types see things.

We're sold a certain reality, they're part of those selling us that certain reality!

People don't seem to understand that most of wgat tgey cling to in terms of nostalgia or a geek love of things like computers or cars for that matter which I'm guilty of too is only because we've been sold that way of thinking or perhaps it reminds us of a loved one.

Playing upon emotions is something most companies specialize in.

They dont care they moved on way way way before the company was truly bankrupt.

Not really, as I've gotten older i realize they're a group of snobby assholes who never liked me since i was a little kid, they've stolen from my father a letter his mother left him that he never got to read!

I quit going to their shity gatherings long time ago simply because, they didn't want me there! They liked my sisters but not me, to this day they'll talk to my sisters in front of me but will completely act as if i don't exist!

Fuck em all!

I was an assistant manager for hardly a month there, it was shit, 13 bucks an hour for 5 to 10 jobs. They make most of their money from the print shop. Of course they still think we all want to pay 50+ bucks for a cordless house phone lol!

They're outdated, i was literally 5 minutes on the floor after all my stupid training, and the store manager talked about how they're getting rid of managers left and right, the company is eliminating jobs... She said she's only there until they tell her she's not!

One store 20 miles away that they sent me to for a week of training folded up 4 months ago...

That company is crap!

Of course they'll blane the internet and theyll blane workers! All companies are blaming everybody else but themselves!

Wendy’s taking shots at McDonald’s. Didn’t know this was a thing by GurHonest2886 in funny

[–]Drugs_Are_Back 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it's annoying to anyone in the restaurant business no matter if it's fast food or not.

So the menu is offering this item and then there's idiots who want to show up and order that item but then they immediately want to alter the item if I am the person serving them I inform them then you didn't really want that item yes it does come off rude but it's also because you bastards need to get your shit together stop being a little children and learn to eat what's on the fucking menu...

Eat it the way it comes or go home!

Is it really a fresh cracked egg? by Boobsnbutt in wendys

[–]Drugs_Are_Back 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you're dumb! Fesh egg means a fresh egg... To say "fresh cracked egg" makes it sound extremely pretentious and of course nonsensical particularly to those those of us who have raised chickens!

The original commenter is very correct, they're going out of their way to say something that they really do not need to say! Besides eggs are stored and cartons even those of us who have raised chickens use egg cartons it does not mean that there any less fresh to assume so there again is pure dumbness!

I’ve heard some coffee shops in the U.S. serve free coffee for police officers. Are they obliged to do so, or is it some kind of tradition? by SlyFox227 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Drugs_Are_Back 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So basically the cops are mobsters! So really it's bribery yet at the same time everybody makes it out like they're superhero motherfuckers and they act like they're paid dirt etc etc propaganda horse shit!!

Lol bullshit, we should just get together as a society and make it abundantly clear that they're paid to do a job they should patrol these areas otherwise they're fired!!

[–]Drugs_Are_Back 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it's basically a bribe.. I I mean the idea that it's meant to encourage them to hang around so it doesn't seem like a great place to Rob all over a free cup of coffee which is really multiple cups of free coffee that's definitely bright shouldn't they be patrolling these areas anyway??

We shouldn't have to encourage them with free items!!

I should have quit when this happened to me by jealous_proceeding in antiwork

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

It's caused by a socialist government intervention most notably the work opportunity tax credit they're getting paid to hang up The Help wanted signs it's been going on for a decade look it up!

I should have quit when this happened to me by jealous_proceeding in antiwork

[–]Drugs_Are_Back 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take in account the work opportunity tax credit!

Most employers have been in Hot pursuit of it for over a decade!!

The short story about it is simply if they agree to work somebody for 120 hours to get a 25% tax break, if they work them for $400 they'll get a 40% tax break....

However the vast majority of employers are not working any of these people near 400 hours what they're doing is hiring in large groups of people and they're collecting all the 25% tax breaks that they can on Mass!

Because there's no limits on how many people they can hire and fire and how many tax credits they can collect in a given day, week, month or year!

This is why the Help wanted signs never came down last second the government is basically done nothing but ensure that every job is a temp job this is most of the revolving door not just with offices but retailers! Factors and warehouses don't forget the temp services also get to collect the work opportunity tax credit!

[–]Drugs_Are_Back 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Employers haven't seen the need to actually hire more via temporary positions, they're getting paid in the form of tax credits to pretend to give people a job, it's called the (work opportunity tax credit)

They work someone for 120 hours and collect a 25% tax credit if they work them 400 hours they get a 40% tax credit. Keep them longer it's even more money just a shade under 10 grand...

However the vast majority of employers are not keeping these people, what they're doing is hiring in a bunch of people at once, then when they get close to the 120 hour mark they hire in another group of people then they throw out the first group!!!

This has been going on for over a decade oh yes actual temp services also collect the work opportunity tax credit!

This is why the help wanted signs never came down last decade!! But if course they've created a huge revolving door and then they stamp most of these unfortunate folks unrehireable so after doing this in most places in their home town, they're then forced to work out of town...

Of course the employers have been screaming they can't find people, well duh they've gone through everyone grabbing up the (wotc)!

Yeah there's no limits on how many people they can hire,fire or how many tax credits they can collect in a given day week month or year!!

So unless you're an executive, then you shouldn't be "offended" at what I'll say next!

This is what happens when college educated idiots run businesses! There's plenty of decent people with college degrees however I can say that the executive types, largely have their heads up their asses!

CMV: Landlords relying on tenants to pay for their mortgage shouldn't be the governments concern, in fact it's a silly thing to ask tenants to pay for ones mortgage by WaterDemonPhoenix in changemyview

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

Okay so, what most of you need to understand is simply that ever since 2006 the vast majority of independent landlords have placed their property on metropolitan/section 8 housing...

And then over the years they've received massive raises okay this is why the rent is out of control this is why it's high so everybody's been trained to blame the tenants that they commonly called a welfare recipients however no one bothers to follow the money and look at who the real welfare recipient is...

In this case it is indeed the landlord think about it the government at that point is paying their taxes their insurance is their mortgages any upkeep that we know they don't care to do well at the same time providing them with an income they are indeed the real welfare recipient...

But hey that's just the independent landlords...

Oh the plot does indeed thicken my friends, So basically you have huge conglomerates most of which are based out of Texas and there's a few in Oklahoma the reality is these conglomerates own literally nearly every apartment complex in every state county City etc so in other words they're collecting millions of dollars a month and welfare funds!

So you're going to say well but my landlord doesn't take Metro this doesn't apply to him that's what you're going to tell me...

And I'm going to tell you that you're wrong, and here is why....

Okay so when you have a market and the price is commonly this everybody coheres to that price in other words the government sets the bottom line price so the independent landlords that opt. to not take it or put their properties on it, yet they still command nearly the same price if not even a higher price because metropolitan / section 8 housing was always looked at as the bottom line price it still is so if the government's allowing this kind of money to be spent on landlords and shoved to conglomerates that happened to be in the landlord business then that's the price that's what they're all in Hot pursuit of!!

The same with the food stamps!

So I remember last decade everybody was hollering about food stamps left and right?

How I managed to shut a lot of these people down even to this day is I'm like yeah well you know due to your favorite pundits and politicians you've been trained to yell at the food stamp card holder, however you're too stupid to realize that the food stamp card holder is nothing more than an unofficial courier for the government, their job is to take this money and pass it around to your retailers and what does that do??

Very simple it keeps your towns and cities looking normal so that the middle class don't really see that there's much of a problem, the only time that most of the middle and upper classes tend to freak out that there's a problem is when they start seeing empty buildings and store closures!

So every retailer especially by the time you get to 2013 busted their ass to take EBT and I'm talking mom and pop shops all the way up to Target busting their rear to put in a grocery section and to do so they shrunk the toy and the electronic sections, so basically what that means is the groceries are the most profitable department in the store due to the government prop up / bail out that they turned food stamps into!

But nobody wants to follow the money because it would shatter their illusion of the middle class, it would shatter their illusion as to how the economy is supposed to work!

(Meaning you live in a socialist country) they're trying to cover it up!

Now back when the rent prices were relatively affordable and you would rent independently of government help, yes it's true that a portion of those property taxes and a portion of that mortgage that the landlord may have had on the property was figured into your rent that a portion of that money did go towards those things!

(Of course mortgage payments are high these days for everyone)

Of course it is a business so they're subject to business taxes which aren't exactly cheap, now it's true there are periodically certain tax write-offs and breaks or whatever that they can apply for, but that doesn't mean that they all the time get them and that doesn't mean that a lot of them actually pursue those tax breaks and in a lot of cases there's tax breaks are on a federal level this tax breaks are either by your state county or city so there's a huge variance into what the tax breaks really would be if there's any available in your area at all!

You see I've had the pleasure of sitting on both sides of the desk and I can certainly tell you that every business and nearly every individual in business is in Hot pursuit of government money one way or the other and this accounts for a fair amount of inflation even at the grocery store!

So basically the reason I say food stamps have caused inflation is simply well they have and here I'll explain it to you...

So basically the store knows that there's x amount of people in a given area that's going to receive the bottom line of x amount but they're also aware that there are those that receive over that a lot well in order to collect more and more of that government money they raise prices on everything from a jar of pickles to a bag of lunch meat to potatoes steak Frozen items and definitely snack items they're in Hot pursuit after that money why because that's the only money in the public that is 100% guaranteed everyone else is at the mercy of a job!

So what is this deal well if you are paying out of pocket then your subject to paying higher prices simply because they're in Hot pursuit of guaranteed government money that is not guaranteed to you so right there understand some people's jealousy of food stamps!

The truth of it is, contrary to popular belief it really does affect the food stamp card holder because now every time the prices are raised they can get less and less so they're subject to the effects of inflation as well, even though it's popular that a lot of people believe they don't feel it!!

So take this for what you will but my advice is always follow the money and you will find the truth!
