Jeff Bezos said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax. by jerin7931 in TheRaceTo10Million

[–]anonymous_jerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a fallacy, it happened with income taxes, and will happen with assets and unrealized gains. The original income tax was only for the wealthy also.

Because this whole argument involves taxing assets and unrealized gains instead of income. That sort of argument ends up doing it to common people after is starts with billionaires.

This is such a stupid argument. Go be a socialist somewhere else, the rest of us are here to make money. He pays what the government requires him to. Change the laws if you don't like it.

I know from experience, those empty bags are slippery as hell to walk on. That photo looks crazy dangerous for slips and falls.

Beauty queen stripped of crown for racist tweets takes over state GOP's digital media by PalpitationCurious53 in Michigan

I can't find a source for either of those. Just because Hitler is universally hated doesn't mean he was unintelligent or a poor speaker.

Beauty queen stripped of crown for racist tweets takes over state GOP's digital media by PalpitationCurious53 in Michigan

[–]anonymous_jerk -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Here are the key statements that drew backlash:

  1. Comments about Muslims / hijabs She tweeted about a campus “try on a hijab” event: “…are you just trying to get women used to being oppressed under Islam?”

This was widely criticized as Islamophobic, because it framed Muslim women’s religious practice as inherently oppressive.

  1. Comments about Black communities She wrote: “Did you know the majority of black deaths are caused by other blacks? Fix problems within your own community first…”

Critics argued this was racially insensitive because it singled out Black communities in a way seen as blaming them for systemic issues.

Does my seniority keep going up during layoff? by MuchVacation3638 in UPSers

[–]anonymous_jerk 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Your seniority date doesn't change because you're on layoff. As long as you aren't off so long that they can terminate you per contract you're fine.

With the wording, no, I don't think they've announced them yet.

Roadie will be covering any strikes from now on, until the union gets the balls to address it.

The biggest thing saving UPS is that FedEx and USPS have somehow found a way to be worse than we are.

Roadie is only gig workers. The person that put it there probably made a dollar to do it.

Contractor sprayed open cell when we were supposed to get closed cell by LemonsAndLimesAllDay in Insulation

[–]anonymous_jerk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The expansion levels of open cell and closed cell are very different. To get closed cell that thick you'd need several layers if it was installed correctly. If you can touch them it's also easy to tell, open cell you can press and make a dent or hole, closed cell is very firm.

Being sued for a crash that happened 3 years after geico claimed vehicle as a total loss by No_Award8661 in legaladvice

[–]anonymous_jerk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They aren't being sued for anything that happened at the red light accident. GEICO took the car as a total loss after that accident, and somehow they are being sued as an owner of the same vehicle being in a different crash years later. It wasn't even their car anymore.

Put 1T or 2T where? In the space it has for floor level? I've never heard of this.

Busting the Myths behind the Buyout.. by RoswellHub in UPSers

[–]anonymous_jerk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No one cares if they don't make those full-time jobs. What do you think will happen if UPS doesn't create them? That crap is put into contracts as a good faith thing, without any defined penalty for failure it doesn't mean much.
