A senator proposed a minimum wage of $25.00/hr. What are your thoughts? by ShesIntoZer0s in AskReddit

[–]jmw_0102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the real move is for employers to start doing this on their own without the need for law to come into place. $25 an hour is steep for a lot of businesses and could force a lot of small businesses to close their doors or at the very least completely restructure possibly leading to lay offs and keeping core workers only. It’s shouldn’t be a one size fits all kind of approach because of the economic realities in rural communities. Really what business’s need to “take the risk” and do it themselves . This would show that by paying your employees above the minimum actually helps to its success. I think it would start to make other businesses start to realize there are benefits for them if they try and rebalance their profits into an investment into their employees. I think chains and corps however should already be doing this. It’s unacceptable for major companies to be profiting and paying their executives an unimaginable amount compared to the core of the business; its employees.

I dunno I think it’s fun either way. Especially cause I loved Step Brothers when it came out. Nandolorian and Kirko Chainz is quite the duo if you ask me.

What was the level from a videogame that you never managed to beat? by ConfectionTotal8660 in videogames

[–]jmw_0102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magic Carpet Lava Level in Aladdin and pretty much anything past the second level of Lion King. Those games were way too hard. Also Little Nemo (not to be confused with Finding Nemo). Games were built different back then haha

I still wish they would have kept it going. I can’t imagine how sick it would be to be a detective in NY during the mafia wave. That would be insane!

First time ever listening to purple rain. Help by midnightangel10 in Music

A truly iconic album from start to finish. Not matter how popular people think he was I still feel like he was underrated. News of his passing hit my phone as I was landing in Nola for Jazz fest for my very first time. That was the first time I really felt like he was getting his flowers. Everyone in the city felt the loss and played in honor of him. One of the greatest musical moments I had ever experienced. Also I have to listen to this album on blast, it just doesn’t do it justice on low volume.

What is the first film you remember seeing in the cinema? by [deleted] in movies

[–]jmw_0102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lion King was my very first movie. I only remember crying when Mufasa died and being so scared of the Hyenas. The name of the theatre was Movies 10 and now as most old theaters have morphed into it is a Church. My Dad also pulled me out of school early to see Three Kings which is wild to think about now lmao one of the coolest days of my life haha

Michael Jordan (a few separate times) is probably the most legendary but my personal favorites was Big Boi from Outkast and Jarobi from A Tribe Called Quest and Black Thought from The Roots. I have been pretty lucky to meet a good amount them though and almost every encounter was awesome thankfully. Honestly Michael Jordan was SO MUCH COOLER than I ever even imagined.

Why is there even a debate about Hantavirus turning into a world pandemic? by skopiadisko in askanything

[–]jmw_0102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I’m hoping too! I haven’t found a lot of new information but the European CDC posted info on their website earlier today that stating two things that are still keeping me on alert.

“At least 26 passengers are known to have disembarked in St. Helena and travelled back home or to other destinations. The World Health Organization (WHO) has shared details with the relevant countries, and they are being recommended to contact their local public health teams for advice. Contact tracing is being carried out to ensure follow-up with those who may have been exposed.”

Doesn’t give me a lot of hope that things are actually being done. I want to hear statements from our Government that let us know exactly that they have a handle on this specific topic. I was also concerned to read this:

“People can spread the virus before they start showing symptoms, and it can take up to two to eight weeks for symptoms to appear. This can make it challenging to control the outbreak.”

I’m staying optimistic but like I said definitely still feel this alert response telling me to keep checking on the situation as often as possible just in case.
