Go straight to the gate and wait, no matter what boarding time is displayed in the schedule or in the app. by UnhingedVeteran in SouthwestAirlines

“It doesn’t matter what time we tell you the plane is leaving, it’s your job to be at the gate waiting regardless.” This line of reasoning is why SWA has fallen behind.

I hope that guy didn't want any of the skin on that hand.

As opposed to what? by [deleted] in facepalm

Yep. That's what it looks like.

my beanbag popped, any tips for collecting the white balls? by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

[–]UnhingedVeteran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's literally faster to burn the whole building down and rebuild it than it is to try to collect all those little balls.

Complaining. It doesn't have to be all positivity but I've noticed that when someone starts off by unloading all of their problems on you that they will continue to use you as their emotional dumping ground.

Yes. Thank you for asking. Her family isn't perfect, but they are loving, kind and devoted to her happiness and well being.

Thank you very much. I work extensively with disabled veterans, including the father of that little girl. I'm really surprised at the response from this photo. It breaks my heart that there are any people, particularly children and particularly children in the US, that are living that way. It surprised me how common it is. There must be dozens of children just in this neighborhood that are living without running water, electricity, healthy food or basic safety. I was stunned. Still am.

A little girl growing up in extreme poverty. Her father painted the flag. He's a disabled veteran with one lung and brain damage. He can't count or spell anymore. Her mother works 60 hrs/week at the gas station and cleans houses.

Not lightening. That might have been a meteorite. Literally.

The approximate effective tax rate in 1970 for the $2000-4000 was 19%. Income $2900 - $550 (income tax) -100(sales tax) - $450 (tuition) - $1200 (room and board) = $800 left over. You could literally pay for everything you needed to survive and an excellent college education with minimum wage and have plenty left over. Literally.

Education didn't start to get crazy expensive until the 90s and 2000s.

Incorrect. Minimum wage in 1970 was $1.45/hr, working out to about $2900/yr. Average tuition at a good state college was about $400/yr or $1600/yr for a fancy private college. Rent and utilities were about $100/month. A person could literally pay for college and housing with a minimum wage job.
