I moved from upstate NY to eastern PA in 2020. The average fast food worker was making 50% more in upstate NY. Most prices were the same, if not within 10 cents at worst.

You haven’t seen Dracula Musical in 15 years? Gotta pump those numbers up!

Then it’s likely not a service dog, but an emotional support animal. There is a MASSIVE difference, and people treat them like they are the same.

Eta: so I may not be entirely right. In my experience, I was always told if they’re dressed for service they shouldn’t be touched by anyone else.

He did used to do shit like this https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1256162

They should gift him all the removed flags as toilet paper, since that’s how he might as well be using them now.

People occasionally bring up how Canada’s ATC is private. Those people always forget there are still strict government contracts with tight regulations. There’s no huge influence on “good” healthcare and benefits as an excuse for lower pay and QOL for the same job in the US. Comparing working in the *US to Canadian private sector is comparing apples to shit oranges.

Anecdotally, a significantly large - maybe even 20% - will still get behind anyone with an R after their name. I left the federal civil service after almost five years because I didn’t like the influence of politicians undermining things even then. That included the shutdowns while Obama and Trump admins were in office.

There are union-protected labor workers - even now - still think anyone Republican will protect them, because… “values.” Hell, Utah recently passed legislation making it illegal for any public workers to collectively bargain. How many teachers and firefighters there voted for that possibility in?

It’s really no surprise to anyone who’s followed the current state of things. The Department of Government Excrement. I only hope a heinous and abhorrently-wild remainder of life to those who have cheered for the dismantling of the institution previously. I say dismantling, because most people are influenced by any end game prospect or “promises” than the actual process. If you still believed the process could somehow work, with changes rather than taking a hammer, I still think the intentions were wildly misguided at worst. However, if you truly wanted near (if not full) fascist rule, and thought it would lead to the “greater good” with what we have now, I hope you realize it will only ever be for the good of the wealthy until millions - and that especially you yourself suffer. I get that is easy to be swept up in the rhetoric. Americans are (or at least we were 10+ years ago) taught from a young age that trust and commitment to the government will lead to helping the general public. It’s especially a shame that the most self-sufficient US agency (the National Park Service) was touched at all. But I guess that government handouts for exploitative employers (business tax benefits/reliefs) sounds sexier. Even if they remove chunks of the most truly efficient government entity. The DoD? Keeping the ones they love safe - even at home far from most international conflict. Civil service? It’s not sexy, but if you want to truly help - or improve what the federal government offers and also learn to to better - you will be fine.

By now, hopefully a majority of people agree the most wasteful and damaging agency is the current one believing it can cut without consequence.

If it’s still up. No direct video access without extensions though. More importantly, who is gonna spread that original file?

As long as it is available share with your friends, anyone you care about, and all the way down to those not even worth using the energy to consider your greatest enemies. Is there a strong enough long-distance projector to put this up against the Whitehouse?

For me it’s the recent percentage in increased subscribers. Is Ben Shapiro better/worse than Rogan? Isn’t he branded as a more “intellectual” to those who listen to both? F.

Time to block off June 2025: Hella gay; full LGBTQA(+) They good enough the GooglAI won’t be forced to pick it up?

I guess I should have specified I meant whom cared to be against them. Whenever I mention the full NAZI Madison Square rally to others, too many are still unaware. I always appreciate others bringing this shit history event to light!

To be fair, I don’t think the overall USA really cared about nor directly responded to the OG Nazis until… 12/7/1941? Of course, that was just the Nazi allies.

Hey now - give them some credit. They’re 100% aware of what Fox News and other media outlets that seem them too “liberal” as Fox News are telling them!

Neither of those are unique from a majority of 401(k) plans in the U.S - taking out a loan against it included. You’ll still take a sizeable tax hit on an early distribution from any retirement plan - TSP included. You should be able to do a direct rollover to any active 401(k), 403(b), or IRA penalty free. I worked in the government for 5 years, and a financial planning firm for just about 2.

Most federal civilian employees are now on a 401(k) equivalent. Air Traffic likes to mention how they are one of the ones left with a pension, but clearly, nothing is guaranteed.
