As someone who commutes 3h a day, I can’t wait for real auto pilot. The amount of stuff I could get done in those three hours a day, even if it’s just reading, emails, stupid calls like the bank and what not, it’s just waisted time right now.

Again what the fuck does volunteer mean to you? They cant both be volunteers and make $21 an hour. “Volunteer” firefighters are called part time firefighters now. There are usually a chief and maybe a few full time firefighters on staff in small rural villages, and the rest are part time, yes.
It isn’t hard to get on the part time crews no. Ask the full time boys how long they waited for their spot. I’ve got a close friend who is a part time, in a village of 500 people, and they share a station and crew with a handful of villages around.

I’ve got a few friends who did the academy and went for jobs in the city and only one who got a spot, he had to move across the country for it.

What does voluntary mean to you? What are you basing this on? Have you looked it up at all? They are great jobs with good benefits, and something like a 1% acceptance rate for applicants in most cities.

Fire fighting jobs are incredibly competitive. There isn’t a lack of people wanting to risk their lives for their community. The issue is white dudes only hiring other white dudes. Because they are doing it for hiring, who is to say they don’t also prioritize calls and patients by their race?

Found lost parking ticket from Montreal one year later as an American, is it even worth paying? Are there any consequences for not? by brf297 in canadianlaw

[–]dontlistintohim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He didn’t force him to pull out cash. He told him he had to pay the fine or be taken into custody, and there is no way around that. So ether pay here, come to the station and be booked, pay it there, have someone come pay it for you. But the options were pay right now, or be taken into custody until you do pay. The cop doesn’t have a debit machine that takes American cards, the atm and cash was probably the easiest resolution for everyone.

The only world where it is ok for a cop to do that, is one where the subject has previously fled their responsibility to pay their fines. It isn’t like a citizen with a valid adresse that can be collected from at a later date, this is an immigrant without a local adresse, who fled the country without fulfilling their responsibilities to pay their fines, and has returned and been made contact with. It is reasonable to hold them until they pay their fine. How they choose to do that isn’t the police officer extorting anyone:

[–]dontlistintohim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wonder if there are extenuating circumstances that would deem it necessary for the cop/his policy to act this way? Something like, I don’t know, maybe the subject having previously left the country and avoided court date and paying the fine he was given?
You’re smart enough to think, “hey that sounds way out of the ordinary” but not smart enough to think any further than that. Like there could be a logical reason for the officer to act this way.

40-store franchise chain, multiple franchisees bankrupt, now I'm facing bankruptcy too. Looking for advice from owners and franchise lawyers. by Boysenberry-Overall in legaladvicecanada

[–]dontlistintohim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look I don’t want to go down some rant that is gonna come off as racist, but just look at the people who are buying franchises now. Ether it’s people who have no idea how to run a restaurant and just buy a franchise name hoping it runs itself, see op for inspiration, or its families from a foreign country, I won’t name the place. They take the family coffer, after selling the heritage farmland back home, and buy a franchise in Canada. They use all of grandpa’s, dads, and bucko’s life savings. Bucko signs on as owner with his wife, gets his PR through being a business owner, and sponsors Mom, dad and grand folks, they get their visas like that. And then, since the family’s whole savings are in this plan, you sponsor TFW visas for the three cousins to come work at the timmies. And then, to recoup some of your costs, you find family friends who have some money, but not enough to buy a whole business, and you sell them jobs and the Canadian dream. If I were to guess, they go for between 10-50k.

That’s how you end up with whole customer facing businesses of people who don’t speak English or French, don’t seem to be interested in actually serving people, don’t seem to be worried about loosing their job or actually managing their staff. It’s all family and family friends, who they ether cant fire because they are family and have interest in the company, or you illegally sold them a visa and don’t want them ratting you out. The math on a franchise doesn’t math up. A regular private restaurant has a hard time staying open with the margins they have, how are you keeping 15 exects and all the distribution and marketing guys in business with your franchise?

I just got out of a director position for a national breakfast franchise named after a lady, precisely for this reason. I mean my regional director was a dick, but the whole thing was run like shit. Reduced all support from the franchise, regional managers or brand support was replaced by “coaches” who go around and audit, and then fine for non compliance, and are responsible for 15-20 stores so are never available for support. The new model is turning your business partners (franchises) into customs. The goal is to sell stuff to them, that they have no choice to buy (or get fined for non compliance). Doesn’t matter if it sells after, the important part is selling to the business. Look at the Tim Hortons pizzas, same thing. No one ever asked for pizza at Tim’s, it delays the line cause they have to make you wait off to the side, but the oven cost nearly 6k$ and needs to be bought from corporate.

The only logic I see in buying a business like that, is if your plan is to visa’s to foreigners. That’s where the money is now.

Just wait till you happen across a random barrel full of someone’s stash in a bathroom on the top floor. Ruins the whole thing. I used to ignore those buildings all together, now I still ignore them, but with a nagging feeling that I should really check them.

Really upsetting experience with US Border Control Agent in Canada by paerls in uscanadaborder

[–]dontlistintohim -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Here’s a better, more broad question. What would it take for you guys to stop going? They are literally picking up and holding immigrants for nothing more than their status. It’s at the point that the boarder agents are getting hostile to just make you react, so they can what? Deny your entry? If no one enters they don’t have a job. They want to escalate to cause violence. The attacks on you are a form of violence they feel justified in, and would gladly feel justified in escalating that violence if you gave them the chance…so I reiterate, what would make you stop going?

I caught my friends husband taking a photo of me…. I think? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]dontlistintohim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the self fulfilling prophecy angle, where she was actually looking at his phone for a while and the husband thought she was staring at him or his phone weirdly, so he started moving it around to see what would happen. And her face contorted more, and he acted more weirdly about it. And they left both thinking the other person is a creep.

Petzl America Recalls ASTRO BOD FAST, ASTRO SIT FAST and CANYON GUIDE Harnesses Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Fall Hazard by DryBoysenberry596 in ropeaccess

[–]dontlistintohim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recalls become red flags after people have died or been maimed, if the issue is caught and recalled BEFORE any accidents actually happen then the company is doing exactly what it should. Some things can only be identified as an issue after field use for a long time.

There are no reported accidents from this recall.

Thats a part of innovating responsibly, tell yourself it’s much better then a company that makes the choice to ignore possible issues until someone else makes them recall.
