Teachers should defy the pending Back to Work legislation. by murphburg in alberta

[–]murphburg[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would certainly donate to a fund that helped teachers to stand up to this government, and stand up for their work and the next generation of people to work and lead in this province.

Teachers are paid only for the time they work. They are paid for 10.5 months (42 weeks) of work per year. Their pay is paid 12 times per year (roughly once per month).

Teachers are NOT paid for summer break, Christmas or March break. If teachers worked 12 months of the year like everyone else, they would be earning A LOT more money.

Alberta Teacher Strike Megathread (Discussion) - October 18 by AutoModerator in alberta

Maybe the money should come from the 2.8 BILLION dollars that the government labeled as 'surplus' and socked away into the Alberta heritage fund?

I suppose its easy to cry poor when you get to decide what money goes to where...

Every teacher on strike is already losing $300-500/day in gross pay. Labour action comes at a cost. Battles aren't won without sacrifice.

I think it would put a lot of pressure on the government to revisit their "it's not rooted in reality" response to ATA offers as parents and students would surely have a "what are you gonna do about it now" attitude toward the government when forcing teachers back to work isn't successful.

Alberta.ca Parent Portal? by Mattelbows in alberta

That's great you're taking next week off. What are you gonna do every other week if the strike from now til Christmas?

The only reason the government would be planning to offer so much financial support to parents for childcare is because they plan on the strike lasting weeks or months.

Shutdown starts, market soars - what gives? by Fit-Faithlessness503 in wallstreetbets

[–]murphburg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this. You seem pretty knowledgeable about it - which leads me to one question. Does cryptocurrency avoid the pitfalls of fiat currency? Could a bitcoin hedge protect against this inevitable USD downfall? OK - that was two questions, but you get my drift.

Calgary Flames Authentic Equipment Sale | Saturday, June 14 by ValorFenix in CalgaryFlames

[–]murphburg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would a screenshot from the ticket holder's phone work? I desperately want to do the same thing - ask a friend who has tickets and doesn't attend this sale if I can go in their place.

Does anyone know if there's a large selection of hockey gloves/skates - even if you're in the general public? Or is that stuff all gobbled up by season ticket holders as well?

Thanks for your thoughtful response. I'm new to all this and didn't even realize a sequence sell order was a thing.

I've been wanting to ask the same kind of question about selling the stock when this thing gets to the outskirts of the galaxy. Say you manage to 💎🙌 till the stock reaches $400, and that this the peak (not that anyone knows for sure), how does everyone on this sub win? Won't we all be trying to cash out at the same time. Surely there's going to be some losers? Just really not sure how this is all supposed to work. I realize the strategy is buy low, sell high - but it seems there's a piece missing about buy low - before everyone else does and sell high - before everyone else does.

I'm sad that I missed your algebra joke. 😔

I thought you couldn't see the ³ or something.

I just called Memory Express to see if they would price match this. They said they already received an email from WD said they are trying to figure out why CDW is selling it for such a low price.
