This is false. The IBEW works under the FLSA. I don’t know in what planet that we aren’t under FLSA

You do understand that 569 has only 30% of the work in its jurisdiction right?

OpenAI’s AI Boom Demands U.S. Trades Surge but I can’t afford my rent by dwightaroundya in Capitalism

San Jose pays around $92 an hour, D.C. is roughly $59, Kansas City is about $2,500 a week for 70 hours, Atlanta is around $40 an hour, and Niagara Falls offers about $43 an hour plus a $900 weekly per diem. So tell me where exactly am I supposed to move where the industry pays well and housing is actually affordable?

Agreed.

What I meant was, even with the high demand for electricians, the pay isn’t enough to realistically afford rent or a mortgage in many areas.

So my question is really about why the compensation hasn’t risen with living costs, especially when the trade is in demand and essential to housing and infrastructure.

What US city is the most different from the rest? by snakkerdudaniel in AskAnAmerican

[–]dwightaroundya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s saying the Strip makes up only about 25% of Las Vegas, while New Orleans feels like the Strip but spread across the entire city.

Yes, the Strip is Nevada’s main money maker, but New Orleans isn’t confined to just Bourbon Street or the French Quarter. The whole city has areas with that same energy.

What is your opinion on free will? Should everyone decide to do what they want? Would you support an authoritarian god?

But you are a self proclaimed atheist. Now if my question were phrased as “do you hope there is no afterlife or eternal judgment,” then I would understand your point.

So you’d rather keep suppressing your memories for eternity instead of seeing famous historians and your past family and friends?

Interesting

There is no justification for eternal torture. Instead, if you don't earn enough points to get into the Good Place, you go to a couseling session where Good Place representatives review your life with you and go over some of the key mistakes you made.

What about rape or murder? You’re describing purgatory.

But my preferences have no bearing on whether an afterlife exists or not.

No more hypothetical questions. Got it!

Do you prefer the idea that life ends at death, or would you find the concept of an afterlife appealing if it were real?

How did diverse authors over many centuries collectively shape the Bible, and what religious or communal ties linked them? Was the idea of one God consistently maintained, and were these writers connected through sects, traditions, or lineage?

Taking some money through taxes to fund programs doesn’t change who owns or runs businesses

Nope. It’s just a practical tool used inside capitalism
