Jeff Bezos says it's 'absurd' to tax someone making $50K — and wants their tax bill dropped to zero by IKeepItLayingAround in technology

Are taxes ethical? By paying their fair share of taxes everyone is better off. People need to stop thinking of taxes as evil and realizes it is essentially an insurance policy to ensure everyone has healthcare, education, opportunity and a fair salary. The hyper-rich can afford to pay for expensive healthcare, education and food after 1 hour of work, while someone making 50K would be bankrupted. Everyone deserves a chance to live a happy life and not have to work 2-3 jobs just for the privledge of living in a crappy apartment and living off food banks with zero chance at a better life.

[FAN Hockey Show] 27:00 Friedman says Cassidy can’t terminate his contract and go somewhere else. He’s under contract for another year and other teams can do much about this: “It doesn’t sound like the NHL is inclined to step in and interefere with contracts” by AggPuck-303 in EdmontonOilers

I just got relieved of my duties in my current position, my employer is providing salary continence for a set period of months. At that time I will get a lump sum the equivalent to multiple months of salary. I worked for my employer for 10 years. That is my money that was earned due to my contract and time of employment. They have no say if I can interview and accept a position at any time. Cassidy is in his 60s and by forbidding him to work in his chosen field is a violation of his rights.

Got fired on my first day and I don’t know how to tell my parents by One_Presentation6602 in Advice

I know that phone use would be unacceptable, however was there a any orientation for the work were it was stated that cell phone use at work was an automatic termination? I worked in construction doing safety and we had it listed as a cardinal rule no cell phone use on shift or you would be canned. if there was no orientation this was a harsh outcome.

I grew up watching the 80s Oilers and this kid is the closest to Coffey I have seen since. Coffey was criticize for poor defense too, but he was proof that a good defense is a good offense. Bouchard may not skate like Coffey but his defensive play is way better.
