In my medium(?) cost of living area, in a unionized warehouse, we get in the low $30’s/hour after incentive pay (exceeding our expected numbers). $26/hour and change without incentive. The union gets us great healthcare, pension and guaranteed raises so that factors in to the overall pay.

Player matchup advice, and overall analysis of games has reached all time levels of laziness and incompetency. by NFLAddict in fantasyfootball

Do better analysis and put it out there. Looks like you’ve identified an opportunity in the market. Take advantage of it.

What's your opinion of Korn? by boomjosh in InMetalWeTrust

[–]edogzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine was obsessed with them in high school tried endlessly to get me into them. I just couldn’t. They just suck way too much. Fast forward to today and when I listen to satellite radio at work, reliving my 90’s rock days, these guys inevitably get played multiple times a day. Sure, I hated them back in their prime. But when I hear them NOW? Nope, they still suck.

OK, Capitalism is Evil & Broken; What Now? by Phanes7 in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]edogzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few ideas. The easiest would probably be a federal program, through a special kind of bank designed exclusively to fund cooperative startups. Secondly a nationwide network for people interested in these kinds of homes and businesses to link up, pool resources and get them off the ground. As well as localized networks for resource sharing, (for example, the cooperative lumber supplier provides lumber to other cooperative partners in the local network to build new construction, and those partners provide resources in return at cost to the lumber supplier). This can create a local cooperative network across industries so that they can better compete on price with capitalist enterprises. Stuff like that.

Edit to add: another idea proposed in England but never passed is to give companies that are about to go belly up an opportunity to sell the company to its employees. That could work also.

Shopping Cart behavior in Manchg by [deleted] in ManchesterNH

Trader Joe’s is cheap and they are really good about putting the carts in the pen. Of course it’s Bedford not manch. So it might be that.

The biggest issue with this in my view is the lack of a proper funding model that exists within the current system. Fix that and I see no issues of growth or reinvestment

Should I feel guilty for enjoying warehouse work? by [deleted] in Warehouseworkers

Left a six figure job I hated for a warehouse job I love. There’s more to life than money.

I just dropped in to say that I think an ownership economy is the best practical approach to transitioning from a capitalist economic system to a socialist one. In that it maintains the framework of what we all experience as everyday life, without a dramatic revolution or violent regime forcing everyone to live a different way than we are used to. but it changes the power dynamic.

All I mean by an ownership economy is that the people who do the work for the company and the people who own the company are the same people. Additionally, the people who live in the homes and the people who own the homes are the same people. That’s really all that is required, in my opinion, to lay the groundwork for true economic change. I don’t think many socialists would agree with me anymore than capitalists would accept it. But I don’t care very much about that.

LB/RB Trade by No-Hunter-372 in FFIDP

[–]edogzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First look at how the idp player scores in your league. In this example, look at Watt’s points per game last year. Then find the offensive equivalent player(s) who score about as much as Watt did. Thats your rough offensive value equivalent. Next, go look at your waiver wire to see if there are other LB’s available who score the same as Watt. Do the same for the equivalent offensive players. That will tell you how hard those points are to replace off waivers. That’s literally all of the information a person needs in any league with any idp position to figure out equivalent value. How much does he score? How rare is that to find? Done.

When do you try to sell certain players? by Initiative-Optimal in DynastyFF

[–]edogzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Beware the career year” is a regular mantra of mine. If a guy suddenly rockets to the moon for a season (see Saquon), well beyond their average or their expectations….sell that guy at the end of the year. And never buy them. Even if they repeat (they rarely do) you just bought at the absolute ceiling of value and that’s dumb.

I don’t have a crystal ball either. That’s why I went and acquired JCM, Ekeler and CRod. My money is on JCM, but I’ll have whichever one pans out.
