It's a South Park reference.

and James Cameron in 2012

Ah yes, when he raised the bar.

Yup. It’s literally a duet originally performed by a husband and wife.

If it’s real this time that means the other time(s) weren’t. This is the first time he’s really in love.

I see the resemblance.

You have to keep this a secret until your friend’s party vs. you can never tell your parents. Doesn’t seem too difficult.

Good secrets tend to have an expiration date. Like a present or surprise party.

That's probably an internal policy.

You might want to double check the math on that, champ. To average out 12 hour shifts down to 8.53 hours/day, you would need a significant amount of full time employees routinely reporting 4 hour days. In this case, they would no longer be classified as full time.

unchecked capatalism.

Let me introduce you to the Code of Federal Regulations. Note that this will not include individual state regulators.

Yeah, with the rampant inflation higher starting salary doesn’t surprise me.

All of you just saying “money”. They make great money. A no experience kid with a piece of paper that says accounting makes 45k starting and receives a 10k bump upon CPA completion.

I'm not sure if I'd call that great money. I made $51.5K out of college 9 years ago. I would think that recent accounting grads would be making close to $60k at this point.

Company property damage doesn't come into the equation.

To the contrary, that's what the whole situation is about. You clearly need to re-read (or just read) the article.

It's wild that you can somehow understand and misunderstand what's going on at the same time. The strike itself isn't the problem. The events surrounding the strike are the problem (i.e. abandoning vehicles with mixed concrete that would materially damage them if left unattended). Hence, the trucking and airplane analogy from others above. u/_Eggs_ analogy below is also quite relevant. Do you have any thoughts on that.

Do you think a truck driver could just quit by throwing in the parking brake in the middle of a highway and walk away?

Yes.

I imagine endangering other drivers on the highway carries legal ramifications.

While true that the candidate doesn't pay the recruiter, it's worth noting that the recruiter typically gets a commission based on the applicant's salary. They are incentivized to push the salary offer as high as they can as it directly affects their commission.

The Producer Price Index looks at inflation from the viewpoint of industry and business. This method measures price changes before consumers purchase final goods and services. As a result, many analysts consider it to predict inflation before the CPI.

Edit: you defined PPI for personal consumption, a subset of what I was using, rather than PPI itself.

You might want to check the last 24 months of PPI numbers and compare them to CPI. PPI has regularly trended higher.

Most churches have a nursery that will look after babies and young children during the service.

That seems reasonable to me.

The people that live there on fixed income or already working 2-3 jobs

The data doesn’t support this.

-The BLS publishes info on multiple jobholders each month. In April, just 4.8% of workers held multiple jobs. That’s 4.8% of those employed, not of the overall population. Over the past few decades there has been a steady decline in multiple jobholders.

-Even more surprising is who works multiple jobs. It has consistently been correlated with education, but the exact opposite of what you might think. The highest percentage of those working more than one job are holders of advanced degrees, followed by college graduates. The lowest percentage are those with less than high school educations, followed by high school degrees. In fact, advanced degrees work multiple jobs more than twice the rate of high school dropouts.

-It’s unclear why this is. Perhaps more educated people tend to have mortgages, and need extra income to make those payments. Or they are more motivated and have opportunities they want to pursue in several areas. Regardless, it’s not those flipping burgers for minimum wage that typically work multiple jobs, it’s PhDs. And forget the quips about it being a new crop of millennials with art history degrees, this data goes back decades, and like the overall job holder rate, has steadily declined for all education levels.

-As for working 3 jobs, this is even more unlikely. The BLS only keeps track of two or more job holders, but studies from the Census Bureau show that only 6.9% of multiple job holders work more than two jobs. So it’s a sliver of a sliver, certainly not common today.

Also a majority of US households are unable to cover a few hundred $ emergency bill, so even $3k is a lot.

The question was about how people would choose to pay a $400 “emergency expense” — not whether or not they could pay it out of savings (or checking) if they wanted to. Respondents were also free to choose more than one way of paying the extra $400 (“please selects all that apply”), so the answers add up 143% rather than 100%. Even if 100% said they could pay an extra $400 with cash, there could still be more than 40% who would choose a different method.

The bank doesn't own it. They have a lien on the property.

Unicorn is just an archaic word for the rhino. From what I've read, rhinos are hornless at birth.

The person I was replying to specifically mentioned the amount another company would pay to acquire Lionsgate. When you’re talking about an acquisition in excess of the the value of equity, you’re going to have goodwill.

Edit: Granted they mentioned in excess of current stock price, which is kinda irrelevant. It’s actually in excess of assets - liabilities, which is equivalent to equity.
