Of course, which is why they (republicans) have been working so hard to dismantle free and fair elections. They know they can’t win if things are fair.
If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.

If they are US routes or interstates then yes. If they are state or county/township roads than probably not. Though if I recall correctly if a local road has an over/underpass of an interstate federal funds could be used to help maintain or rebuild those bridges. That part I’m fuzzy on though so could be wrong.
It’s a rather niche role which is why I kept things vague since I wouldn’t be hard to dox if I got into specifics, but yeah they do still exist. Hope your search goes well! And thanks!!
I do appreciate it. I’ll call my role technical consulting too to keep things rather vague. My boss, and his boss, and his boss are VERY in-tune to the work/life balance. And the company as a whole has zero plans to get people into offices as they were very remote-first well before the pandemic. Hell my team is spread out across the US so it’s not like I would be able to see any of them in-person anyway. When I took this position in May I had to make a list of where everyone was located to keep track of timezones, lol.
Gotcha, yeah I don’t have a ton of data which is why I said I was likely in the minority. I do appreciate the insights though as my current position is only guaranteed through 2026 because of our project. Hopefully we get more projects and it continues but it’s good to know that the industry is (unsurprisingly) screwing over more and more salaried employees.
I’m probably well in the minority here but I’m curious how true that statement is across the board. Or maybe I just work for a great team, lol. I rarely put in more than about 30-35 a week with exceptions of crunch-time deadlines. I do pull some odd hours because we have a team in India but can just take comp time later in the day or week to offset that. I’m paid (by most standards I know) quite well too.
That said, this is great for the folks that will benefit! I really hope this helps push for a larger reform. Far too many people are getting screwed over by shit jobs, shit hours, shit pay, shit benefits, etc…
He (the candidate) it just targeting key swing states. That’s not to say others won’t follow and file similar lawsuits which is quite possible. The real question is what happens with them and do they have an real impact.
I’m really curious what you do where you are salaried with that low of a pay. Totally understand if you don’t want to share though.
something something gay wedding cake. Last I checked LEO isn’t a protected class. And they aren’t even denying LEO, just those that come in on-duty and are armed. So yeah, get fucked pigs.
They don’t even care about the fetus though, it’s just an excuse to oppress women.
Are there actually people that need an excuse to get drunk and bbq? Sounds like a normal Saturday to me.
I mean, tropical storm aside would you want to be in Florida anyway?
I feel super-owned!
Was going to suggest this. Github even has native support for them so you just plug it in and touch the gold pad for your second form. Even easier than a TOTP code.
The calculator defaults to semi-monthly and I think the original commenter didn’t change it. Also, it defaults to your current location so the take-home will be different for everyone running the calculator (because taxes). $78k is $6500 a month BEFORE TAXES.
But that’s my point, employers are giving it (kinda, I’ll circle-back to this). The full-time offer has gone up $9k in the last 12 months. Contrasted with the ask that has only gone up $6k in that same time-frame.
Now, is $70k a livable wage? Hard to say without a more specific location. In bumfuck Alabama, probably. In LA, hell no.
So:
The average reservation wage of U.S. jobs seekers — the lowest annual pay workers would accept for a new job — climbed to a record high of $78,645 in July, up from $72,873 at the same time last year, according to the survey.
Combined with:
Yet the average full-time wage offer received in the past four months was $69,475, itself a marked increase from $60,764 last July.
So that’s a ~13.5% increase in full-time wage offers vs a ~7.5% increase in ask. This seems like a non-story then, yes? Inflation has pushed wages higher which has pushed expectations higher. However, the offer increase is higher than the ask increase so… Am I missing something here?
I’m kinda surprised this wasn’t the original announcement. I figured it would just move to a paid feature. Maybe the initial tweet (or whatever the fuck we call an X) was just to get attention.
Unfortunately, probably someone getting hurt or killed. To the GQP the political violence is a feature, not a bug. I hope I’m wrong.
That’s where the top of his skull was opened and the brain replaced with a racist bowl of jello.
