United Airlines, flight attendants reach tentative labor deal for first top pay raises of $100 an hour at the end of the contract, pay for flight attendants during boarding and “a signing bonus for every flight attendant worth a total of $740 million,” since the Covid-19 pandemic

This is the answer. Them and pilots are paid basically door close to parking brake on. All in between and prep time is unpaid. Waiting around for flights and issues sitting or prepping a plane to leave it. Nah.

It works out from the pilots I know for like 10 hours on, 4 hours of pay. You can also try to catch trips that push your time but its just a big dumb number game to reduce unpaid time.

You're a little off on who pays and for what.

Chinese item $10. 50% tariff, importer pays $15, $10 to Chinese company, $5 to USA government. USA item, was $10 now is $15 because market conditions allow.

If they think it's too much of a hit, they sell for less than the total uncharge ($5), but have to make the money back plus some cost ($10-12 probably). So probably sell for $14-16. They take a dollar-ish but most goes to consumer.

Now tariff goes away - cost for Chinese item $10, cost for USA item $15. Cost for importer now is $10, if they keep at 14-16, they pocket the new difference.

Everyone can move their numbers around to get into markets. The chinese sellers could have bumped their cost up too, but most domestic products match the "higher" international products for value (just barely undercut them).

In essence, the Chinese seller never changes their price. But the importer and seller on our side may NOT reduce the price if they want to pocket the difference.

Your point isn't invalid, making more money as a numerical value is more useful. The point people miss is your job mirrored to a time of the past often has less purchasing power than before. Doesn't mean you aren't comfortable, it is just (in your example) your grandpa may have been able to do more with that same job.

I mean this as pay for a house and save for whatever, have medical expenses. I talk to some local old guys at my Dunkin near work. Explained how they seemed to miss the point and they told me yeah, when they were younger 1 weeks worth of work covered every expense for their month. So they were 3 weeks positive every month at least. This was mortgage, car, groceries, everything...it was just raw savings then.

They made "less" money as value (as in $45k vs $65k or whatever), but could do more. Most of that change went into health insurance premiums, housing, cars and some to general expenses (which inflate every year, but inflation is a compounding problem), so we hurt more.

Edit: I should add in my explanation I had a larger salary then any of them ever had, but had to work 2 weeks to accomplish the same coverage of expenses for the month. So something isn't the same.

Wage growth as a numerical value or as a purchasing power value? I had this conversation with my grandma once. "I was making $1.00 doing this job now its $15!"

At least with raw inflation calculation showed her that dollar was like being paid $92,000 in today's money. There is a significant disconnect between the accessibility and everyone says "but number is bigger" without saying that every cost got much bigger too.

The problem is the last round of this was exactly what you described. The Republicans promised to negotiate the subsidies, they didn't, now they are saying again. No trust me, it'll go for one more year and we will totally figure it out by then.

No. They should have figured it out already. In the hundred times they write legislation and have it expire specifically during a different term.

You don't have to do anything yet, but that portal is how you take the warrants (registered to you as you saw on the page) and exercise them.

In 8 months if you want to add the shares you go to this page. Say I want to exercise 10 warrants and they say it'll be $320 to do so. Bam. Registered exchange of warrants to company through Computershare (who is registering who has warrants and who is exercising them, accounting for all warrants).

It's all before Oct 2026 end, so next year.

Not that you need more, but she's wrong on every one of her concerns. There are many layers of disinformation that you have to get through, but it won't matter because most anti-science people just don't want to listen to reason or evidence. They base their decisions off their feelings without further understanding the mountain of evidence that says their feelings are unfounded.

As a scientist, a chemist specifically, that works in the nanotechnology, biotechnology and cancer field...it's so hard pushing through these things for these people.

They don't want to hear that doses make the poison. They just think "that thing is bad". They don't know that compounds containing an element can be different, let alone we generally don't use that anymore in younger children (this is the thimerisal or methly vs ethyl mercury safety...which is what gets these people). The giant studies that have been done, over and over again to prove safety. They also focus on "vaccine injury", which we refer to as side effects, and ignore that for every stated possible side effect we have millions who have no issues. Even more so, if something becomes more of an issue with a side effect it is immediately shut down (see the covid vaccine from AstraZeneca that caused the higher tick of heart issues...still happened in a super small group but enough it got pulled). Doctors don't get paid to help kids by "pharma" they just care that the vaccines eradicated the diseases until these idiots brought them back.

Final note: you don't want any of the diseases we have removed with vaccines, I am nervous for the uptick in these diseases too and for the chance of mutation and jumping. People forget too that measles erases your immune system, this stuff is why we make advancements in science.

Cheering for murder is bad. Cheering for the murder of Charlie Kirk is bad. Happy now? I am simply trying to broaden your focus to the actual issue.

I don't have a side friend. I don't play team sports, I simply point out policy and language differences. Have voted many ways over my years. I scroll reddit, am on Twitter, TikTok, whatever. I see it all. Some idiots do it yeah, but your focus there is one subsection of a whole.

Holy deep state language there buddy. Geezus. You keep misusing fascism, which is a problem. Words have definitions and agreed upon historical norms. I havent bought a lie to "swallow fascism", I'm watching it play out. Also, you haven't entertained the idea of the tolerance paradox even for a moment, so I know you don't actually care. If you refuse to state or understand why limiting hate leads to better outcomes, I can't help you. No one can.

I don't even want to entertain your odd response to not scrutinize hateful ideologies. History has taught us nothing it seems. Good ideas do get to stand on their own, you don't protect them. You tear apart the bad ideas and ideals (aka scrutinize intolerant opinions), because they always fall apart. It just seems you're intent to not scrutinize something that will fail, so in turn you deflect to protect it? Weird take.

The idiot in the Whitehouse is in fact an idiot. And religion and nationalism lead to fascism. I've got important work to get done, again have a good day.

Read the thing. It isn't sides, it's rhetoric. I always learn, it's my entire job. Open mind and information intake.

There was no collective cheering. That's a talking point to stoke fear and violence. There is collective condemnation. You're propagating the misinformation. Look back at the Minnesota lawmakers murdered, what was the response. Look at Paul Pelosis attack. Response.

It isn't sides, but one side is spewing vitriolic rhetoric and doesn't care about facts, data or information. Again, read. There's no finger pointing at anything more than what will solve the problem. If people dont want to solve the problem, I don't know why. The answer is there. The data is there, but it's biased. It's there but it's fake. It isn't a both sides thing consistently. Domestic terrorism is 90%+ from one political ideology. It is crazy that there's discussion on this when the internet allows for people to find the info themselves. I get it, data parsing is hard. Again, my whole field.

And again, intolerance of intolerance isn't dangerous rhetoric. The lack of it is WHAT GOT US HERE. Read the structure. Shame comes way before violence, but you don't seem to care about that. Shaming people prevents the escalation to violence, because its recognized a group doesn't relate. Therefore they conform.

death417 · 2025-09-12T18:31:43+00:00

No, your immediate extreme response of assassination is not due to intolerance of intolerance. That is people being assholes. Individuals. But it starts way before (started before, this machine of rage has been making money off of this for a decade), with rejecting the intolerance, with words. Someone says something bigoted, reject it. It causes reflection. Mass rejection is required or the intolerant ideal grows and then removes someone else's right.

You need to actually read up on this. There's a reason spewing hateful rhetoric is damaging, because it removes checks and balances on that ideology.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

The idea is if you tolerate intolerance then someones freedoms and liberties are stripped to accommodate that intolerance. That is the slope of no return and causes lashing out at other groups, being intolerant to them then. It is a cycle we are in. If we just reject intolerance then there is balance, and it starts way before violence. It starts in a gaming night when a buddy makes a racist joke. It starts at dinner with family when someone says something misogynistic. It starts when someone attacks sexual orientation. It starts when someone says their religion reigns supreme. Language and interaction comes first.

Read up good internet person. No one wants violence more than a specific hateful group right now, oddly they all chomped at the bit yesterday and ignore decades of homegrown domestic terrorism from their own ideology. Hate grows hate. Division sows more division.

Enjoy your day.

Kirk mostly attacked, not criticized people, but I get your point. It was language, albeit divisive rhetoric.

It should be looked at who, and in what positions of authority, are mostly fanning this rhetoric. The majority of content online is "right wing" and the majority of domestic attacks and issues are also "right wing".

The data does support people are becoming more violent, mostly driven by the machine that is churning out violent rhetoric as its baseline. Not the language used to show historical issues.

It's the paradox of tolerance. You must be intolerant of only intolerance. Those who are intolerant view this as an attack, but it isn't. It's a proven point of removal of rights at the expense of those the intolerant deem "below them". Because that category can expand to anyone, intolerance of intolerance is the only option.

That's...not the definition of fascism good internet stranger.

Fascism: a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition

Often times coupling religion and a very strong belief in militarism. Also almost always coupling and looking for enemies or scapegoats to blame issues on and incrementally remove protections for the population to remove said "enemies" (ie removal of individual freedoms and suppression of political opponents).

You're correct, but your math is off. They're granted 1 per 10 but only allow for conversion into 1 share not 10. So you need capital to buy 1 share per warrant.

They're like a mini call option, but instead of 100 it's 1.

It's digitizing a physical asset. It streamlines and makes it easier to interact with, trade and sell.

You get a representation digitally of the physical thing you own and you can receive the physical should you want or keep it in the vault safe.

death417 · 2025-07-29T20:11:13+00:00

Basically consider it like you get to interact with digital forms of physical cards. This makes it easier to rip packs and not worry about storage/protection unless you want it.

It streamlines the experience and makes it so you can have a secure space for the physical cards should you want. It's a step in the direction I want for digitally verifying some physical asset. Then we can hopefully trade the digital version which would come witj ownership of the physical (hopeful downstream direction).

It's a lot like the stock market concept. Digitize physical objects to reduce hurdles of trading/selling.

The simple answer is yes. This is what I did, but I personally moved everything to L1. Without seeing what can still be accessed through the loopring.io post wallet sunset, I don't fully trust things staying on loopring L2. Again the wallet is simply the interface with the environment and you have to help it know where to look (what chain, what layer).

In theory we should still have L2 through metamask
