There's an estimated two million vacant rooms in my city. It would take construction crews two decades to build this much. In other words, if housing was optimized, construction crews could take a 20 year vacation.
Mostly old retirees who own the home they bought between 1950 and 1990. Or Asian investors who have bought up huge amounts of properties since 1990.
People hoarding houses, playing it like the stock market, is what causes high housing costs. We don't need poverty to keep housing affordable. Another myth brought to you by the powers that be. -
2020-02-21 at 6:23 PM UTC in Trump is going down.We don't need fresh fruit in winter. We don't need a fast food joint at every corner.
Whoever convinced you that this was the 'normal', is the enemy.
People can enjoy ripe fruit in summer. They can cook their own damned meals. It used to be like this not so long ago, and guess what? poverty was non-existent by today's standards back then. Poverty should be reserved for those capable, but unwilling, to work. -

Originally posted by -SpectraL If they paid employees $20/hr to clean toilets, hundreds of poor Americans would line up for the job. Don't fool yourself. It's all a con job by the radical leftist crazies and the money-grubbing Republicans. Shit, they pay cops $100,000 a year each to sit around donut shops getting fat as all fuck and doing nothing, shooting anyone who scares them. If you can afford that, you can afford to pay poor Americans a fat paycheck, too. Fuck the hypocrites. Fuck the scumbags. Fuck the sellouts. Fuck the traitors. There's corporate goons getting multi-million-dollar golden parachutes and Wall St. is just raking in the dough. Banks recording record profits. Bezos gets his hands on 100 billion dollars in record time. If you can't care about your own country and your own people first, all you are is a worthless bag of shit, in my books. Take care of every last American, then we can talk about welcoming in third-world populations.
Ding. People who think supply and demand doesn't affect the low-wage job market are fools. Same people who believe evolution stops at the neck. Toilet cleaning is a dirty job and should be by no means anywhere near minimum wage. If you get rid of low skilled immigrants, there wouldn't even be a need to have a minimum wage. Nobody would work for it anyways when half the unskilled labour pool disappears. -

2020-02-21 at 5:20 PM UTC in question to anyone who trains martial arts, grappling or mma or boxingI train martial arts, not martial sports.
Biting, ball kicking, eye gouging, fish hooking, throat punching, ear clapping, face palming are all fair game.
If I actually get into a fight, which I don't, I'll most likely just distract you with my left and straight punch you to the chin with my right. Most people who talk the talk are untrained and easily deceived by the little jab.
If that fails, I grapple. None of that ground shit. In a street fight you're fucked if you go to the ground. Most often people have backup. You must neutralize your enemy in as few seconds as possible. If you manage to block my chin punch, I will get close and shoulder throw/outside side throw/hipthrow you to the ground. I will land ontop of you knocking out your wind, then proceed to bash you in the face or choke you out. Unless I throw you face first down into the ditch. Some of the throws I train will break your arm in several places as you are thrown. -

Originally posted by -SpectraL All these corrupt polling entities, including Gallop, had Hillary with a 95% approval rating and favorability to win the 2016 election, for months straight. Guess we all saw how poor and dishonest and clueless their poling was then. Yeah, same as now. Nothing has changed. You'd be better off reading tea leaves that giving any of these so-called "polsters" even an ounce of credibility.
In the last episodes of Narcos Mexico, season 2, what the Narcos were doing was fixing their election. They used a fraudulent counting machine for the real time televised results to be fake. They figured if their opponent had no hope of winning, people would stay home, shifting the election slightly but just enough in their favour.
This is what the media was attempting to do with Hillary. Make Trump supporters stay home because it wouldn't matter voting anyways. That will not work this time around. I wouldn't be surprised of Trump gained 60% of popular vote.
America should let in Russian inspectors to monitor and certify that their elections are fair, if anything. -

Gov't allows Muslims in. It's not the immigrants fault. Which is why Breivik went after the politician's kids instead. Not that it was their fault either, he did it to send a message to the politicians. Pretty brutal world we live in. -

Originally posted by Erekshun So when are you taking vacation?
They seem to process claims quite fast for unpaid wages. Could take months before the Employment Standards Branch takes action for my missing OT etc.
I wanna go on a road trip to the east coast in August, go to some Dead and Company shows. If I can save up the money. -
2020-02-20 at 9:17 PM UTC in Getting paidI use British spellings for most of my words, cigreting. I'm allowed to choose from either American or British dictionary because I'm Canadian.

2020-02-20 at 9:14 PM UTC in Getting paidI've been working for the guy since September. He's been paying me as a contractor. This year, I asked him for employment rights like stats, OT, etc. which he has refused. I am entitled by law to this.
Since we had the falling out, he's refusing to pay my final cheque. Claiming I've cheated and stolen from him and that there'll be deductions. I deny this. So he's stiffed me on the final cheque.
Since he's not paying me what he owes, I've now made a claim with the Employment Standards Branch for not paying me OT, stats, vacation pay etc. And filed a claim to the civil tribunal to recover my final paycheque.
