You get paid that much PER MONTH? That’s 18,000 per year.

In the US, most people just get tax credits. They don’t come anywhere near $18k.

If you’re poor enough, you’ll qualify for WIC which is state dependent, generally $25 per month per kid under 4 years, ~$50 per month for the mom, and limited to certain food/child items.

Thank you for sharing.

On one hand, it’s disgusting that we don’t have a similar system. Yet at the same time, you’re the “proof” against such a system and the reason conservatives would never support it - that people won’t work anymore if we had this system. Neither of you have a full time job.

There has to be a better compromise.

I was responding to a previous comment that said “Nowhere in the US.” Alaska is still the United States.

Especially because the buggies are black, which blend in at night/dusk.

Daytime running lights are required on large sections of the highway in Alaska. It’s posted on signs on the road and you can get ticketed for it.

“( c ) Every vehicle traveling on a highway or vehicular way or area must illuminate lights when traveling on any roadway that is posted with signs requiring the use of headlights.

(d) For the purposes of ( c ) of this section, lights include low intensity headlights and daytime running lamp devices…”

Europe (Germany specifically) has their own problems with carriers though.

When you notify them that you’re cancelling your service, you still have to pay for 3 MORE full months of service after that. Even if you’re in the military and ordered to move. That’s a long time.

This 3 month period mandatory cancellation notice doesn’t change even if you’ve been with them for 2+ years.

For US carriers, once you’ve been with them more than the initial 2 years, you are pretty much able to cancel whenever.

So everyone knows… the new Apple Card lets you do 0% financing on the iPhone. (You also get 3% cash back for buying from the Apple Store.)

So you can buy an unlocked iPhone and pay for it in installments.

Now there is no need to buy from the carriers, have a locked phone, or pay full price up front.

Source: Me, paying ~$68/month for the unlocked iPhone 15 Pro. Also, I do a carrier’s prepaid plan because I’ve been bested by contracts before.

Do you prefer the shorter day and eating at your desk, or the longer day with the lunch break?

9-5 never made any sense to me.

I thought working 40 hours was the standard, but 9-5 with a paid lunch is less than 40 hours. So, the math never made sense.

The only place I heard of people working 9 to 5 was in Dolly Parton’s song. I’m enjoying reading everyone’s answers though, and I’m hoping someone chimes in that has actually worked a traditional, in office 9-5.

Edit: I meant to say with an unpaid lunch.

I had no idea he had a podcast! Thank you so much for sharing this! I just looked it up and am listening now.

I saw he had a podcast during the 2020 election season too, so I’m going to listen to that while waiting for new episodes to come out.

Edit: Going through all the suggestions now - thank you! I hadn’t heard of these before. I appreciate it!

Agreed, my sibling is superficial. They see muscular males as authority figures (for learned reasons I won’t get into) which is a problem when Rogan (+guests) is spouting nonsense.

That’s why I’m trying to find similar content that they’ll enjoy, and help break old habits. They are capable of growth and improvement.

I’m baffled that people are able to see their doctor quickly enough to get a note for proof that they were sick and need time off.

Where are these easily accessible doctors?
