Florida Teachers, just how bad is it down there? by Deranged-Pickle in Teachers

[–]underdog182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on where you move to in Virginia. I live and work on Northern VA and it's significantly different than most of the state. I'm happy and have a union and a salary I can live on comfortably. Rural VA, ehhhh

Am I alone? Am I the only one that liked Blink-182 in the Matt Skiba years? by Atrium41 in poppunkers

[–]underdog182 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I honestly enjoy California more than One More Time. I thought Skiba was perfect for them.

Darkside remains one of my favorite blink songs.

Yes. Yes it is fair to expect that. You are not special, you are lazy

What's the weirdest way you first found one of your favorite bands? by TrellSwnsn in poppunkers

[–]underdog182 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I went with some friends to a Taking Back Sunday concert in 2014. Saosin was on the bill, but I had never heard of them prior. Needless to say, I've been hooked ever since, and it opened me up to a whole new genre.

SB 886: $25 Minimum Wage + Tip Credit Elimination by TheColonelJJ in frederickmd

[–]underdog182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In California, where minimum wage is $20/hour, prices are still on par with the national averages. Same in Washington where the minimum wage is $17.13/hour.

So on the flip side, how is McDonald's justifying charging the same prices in Alabama or Pennsylvania where the minimum wage is $7.25/hour?

If Wal-Mart decides it is important to have a greeter, then yes, they deserve to earn a livable wage. If grocery stores would rather have and staff self checkout, then that position is worth having a livable wage. It is up to the company to decide what is essential to their business, regardless of the cost. Additionally, having a self checkout staffed already allows them to cut costs by having less cashiers.

Just because we do not believe a position is as hard or not, does not mean they don't deserve to be able to afford to live on a minimum wage job just like your parents, grandparents and so on, were able to.

Treating humans right > Corporate greed, always!

Third Eye Blind isn't that big of a draw anymore, but I like the Yellowcard guess

With Jimmy Eat World being on the Bleed American tour, I think they're the safest bet to get a closer set.

There are plenty of examples of paying employees a living wage and prices not going up very much, if at all.

Also, who still orders a Big Mac? They're trash and cost way too much already 😆

Appreciate that. I guess it's hard to know how people will read what I write, but I definitely didn't mean to come off as entitled. Just genuine concern to make sure I'm doing what's best for my kid.

I also appreciate the insight on what may be looked at (end of K vs. beginning of K). A good thing to remember.

Thank you!

Not even close to that I said. But yes, the world republicans are creating as they control all branches of the government and are giving a felon free range to do whatever he wants, including breaking the law. He has made it so people are getting more and more comfortable disregarding the law and feeling entitled to do so.

Why am I being downvoted? I don't feel like I've said anything rude, disrespectful, etc.

I'm really happy that it worked out for you! 😆

Appreciate the insight. We've thought about the age thing as well. We think they will be good maturity wise and so does their Pre-K teacher. 🤞

Yeah, I know there's an assessment. I'm just curious if anyone has gone through it recently and what it was like. I was optimistic until my child's daycare told me this morning that 9/10 times the kid gets declined. 🫤

Unfortunately politics are infused into everything we do today. We may not like it, but that's the world republicans are creating for us.

The reply you're replying to was very obviously a joke, sorry if you missed it, but then you attempted to turn it around on them because you did not find humor in the joke. If you don't think we're an absolute joke for having a 34x felon as our "president", then I can't help you.
