I am a f'n nobody and I like it that way.
The reality is most people should be eating large amounts of vegetables (not starchy ones like corn), meat once a day, some fruit, some milk products.
If people _really_ wanted to be healthy they'd be eating things like riced broccoli with a vegetarian curry with low fat content for lunch/dinner. (i.e. Vindaloo with beans)
For breakfast, have some yogurt, meat, carbs.
Not sure why you even typed that, honestly.
And yes, someone like Kim Dotcom has the resources to try.
Kennedy was the only genuinely party neutral Jurist appointed by either party. They are going to replace him with another Gorusch ASAP to avoid the risk of losing in Nov.
That leads to 5 Party-Before-Country Justices sitting on the Supreme Court with the same ideological bent (GOP).
In China, you wouldn't have that option.
If only they didn't break Google Voice if you used it.
We aren't going to agree.
You need to remember the effectiveness of a law is penalty * odds of getting caught. You just need to make discrimination unattractive financially and provide some incentive to the parents to cover the risk.
The policy solution is:
- A per-child negative income tax sufficient to cover the risk/impact of employer discrimination.
- Give mothers and fathers equal leave.
- Limit the compulsory work week to 50 hours for salaried (or overtime hourly) employees.
- Penalties for violating the above sufficient to convince lawyers to take the case on a speculative basis if the client has a legitimate case.
That balances out the differences between genders and parents/non-parents sufficiently that anyone with sense wouldn't take the risk.
No workplace is ever perfect but there is a difference between a manager who understands the reality of the situation and a manager who is a problem that needs to be removed.
The fact you feel ignoring unwritten policies is "special treatment" likely puts you in the latter camp.
> However your working life will be a lot easier if you learn to work around inadequacies in your chain of management
Usually, it is easier to find another job than endure poor management for extended periods of time.
- China's labor prices are increasing faster than they are in the US. So fast in fact, people are automating factories in China and/or moving factories to other countries.
- Every country _except_ the US will continue to buy those goods at the real market price.
- This is just exporting US jobs to Mexico/Canada who will assemble and import into US via NAFTA. That is the best case.
- Worst case this sets off a permanent trade war with China and the US is forced to sever ties with every potential "cut out" through which trade can flow. The US would need to knife all of its allies in the back and impose these tariffs on all nations for this to actually work.
- The correct response to China's behavior was the TPP followed by multilateral action to punish China.
- This whole "you must submit to your boss" attitude beyond performing the assigned tasks is absurd.
> A separate Labor Department report on Tuesday illustrated how higher prices are pinching wallets: average hourly wages, adjusted for inflation, were unchanged in May from a year earlier, even as nominal pay accelerated to a 2.7 percent annual gain from 2.6 percent in April. For production and nonsupervisory workers, real average hourly earnings fell 0.1 percent from a year earlier.
The article I linked is an impartial example but it is not better.
The simple truth is the underlying numbers haven't really improved since the GOP took the reigns. We are in a sideways holding pattern of 0% real wage growth and 2% of the working-age population has stopped looking for work since 2000[1].
The effects of the outgoing administration's economic policy last ~1 year after they leave office since the government doesn't really turn on a dime. The trends, honestly, are the same as they were under Obama and the GOP has done nothing but claim "Well we did it! Everything is fine now" despite the fact nothing of any real substance has changed since they took control of all 3 branches of government.
Working 60+ hour weeks for a paycheck that can get gotten elsewhere provides no one with satisfaction. Anyone who rides programmers that hard will find the programmer firing his manager.
Almost none of the people that push you to do that are worth working for. Even a startup that provides RSUS.
If you want what the OP wants in an employee, you need to pay a minimum of a 30% premium over what they can get elsewhere.
And you are ignoring the fact they are trying to tunnel through something with very similar geology.
Okay.
The amount of tunneling/demolition involved is quite viable. lol.
I'd suggest the Southeast if you can. $300k houses are quite viable with 30 minute commutes.
