Hahaha. Guess I misunderstood what you first wrote. Can confirm, was outside contractor for government gig the other day. IT person who worked there was a bit older. I was totally unnecessary, but got some good money out of it. Happens with corps too. I guess it's good for a network/cabling tech that there's still a ridiculous amount of money being poured into the building and equipping of office space?

Not sure where else to put this but management and the owners deserve significant consequences for this. Because it’s Mississippi it’ll probably just be a slap on the wrist.

Texas state law overrides local government worker protections for mandatory water breaks. Fuck Texas.

I've recently survived* a third or fourth round of layoffs depending on when the counting starts. Less than inspiring.

Kids dying in meat processing plants has an Upton Sinclair feel to it. I'll bet a 6 pack of beer the kid was working with a subcontractor. It gives the conglomerates plausible deniability when it comes to workers getting maimed and dying.
In other news, I fired a client yesterday and it feels pretty fucking good.

Seems like at a minimum we need some laws that directly target high level staff in these firms with penalties (profit claw backs, bonus claw backs, salary penalties, jail, etc).

Used to be the wives of the wealthy banker types around here would open up an antique store or clothing boutique to keep themselves occupied (and losses provided a tax break for the husbands) Now they can just film themselves kneading dough and it’s actually a net gain (though I do wonder for some of them how much paid promotion gets them pushed up in your feed )

Hilarious as that post truly is, there are certainly worse ways for rich housewives to spend their time than cosplaying as simple farm folk, baking some kickass bread from scratch, raising chickens, whatever. If I were ultra-wealthy, Mrs. JetBlue in that pic is absolutely what I'd want for wife versus the "Real Housewives of [fill in the blank]." Just be hot, pump out babies for me, and keep baking dat bread. Hell yeah! Good on 'em, for real. She's a keeper.

fwiw, I recently had the pleasure of using an Aga type stove. It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.
