3·2 years agoOh, so it’s going to be (inflated) full price with permanent discount, and Wendy’s gets to decide how much to discount based on need?

Syo@kbin.socialtoPolitics@lemmy.ml•Live updates: Another shockingly good jobs report shows America's economy is booming
33·2 years agoFor the average Joe, economy doing well means the job market is healthy, robust in the aggregate. All this does is give you the leverage to renegotiate salary/benefits or change jobs.
Regardless how much money your boss makes, even if he makes tenfold from last year, he’s not going to voluntarily increase your pay beyond annual adjustments.
At the end, you need to take the initiative to change your income.

News@lemmy.world•Black man was holding sandwiches and keys when an Ohio deputy fatally shot him, prosecutor says
20·2 years agoCop, “Your Honor, the sandwich is a known lethal weapon, given its track record of choking hazard. Just last week, Joey down at the station, was working OT and eating his favorite meatball sub. That could have been the last time I saw Joey… So, when I saw the sandwich, I immediately recognized the danger and risked my life to control the situation.”

News@lemmy.world•Harvard’s Claudine Gay says she faced death threats and was called the N-word as critics pushed ‘tired racial stereotypes’
63·2 years agoNot sorry. You need book smart and street smart to manage a university. You willingly walked into a PR trap and blunted the answer on content and timing. No matter how much prestige you have, it won’t save you.
We live in a world of human behaviors, not one of institutional rigor.

News@lemmy.world•More couples are choosing a ‘dual income, no kids’ lifestyle
379·2 years agoThis is similar to the “correlation doesn’t equal causation” fallacy.
Dual income and no kids, is due to the prospect of cost of living and raising a family out pacing income. Housing, vehicle, child care, tuition, are all the items pricing middle class out of options.
DINK is not a choice, if anything, it’s more the result of not having the luxury to choose.

727·2 years agoThe economy is booming, but you also need to negotiate with your employer and switch jobs if needed. Unless your boss automatically gave your 10%+ annual adjustment, you are slowly falling behind.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you think the Internet and websites with 'voting' systems encourage hivemind thinking and discourage any debate or discourse? Solutions?
61·2 years agoBecause the websites don’t police content, there are no rules. This requires a far higher exercise of self discipline when engaging with Internet posts, which many forgo with the anonymity of the Internet and lazy thinking. In other words, there is no constraint to “debate” and ultimately, no agreement what people are even talking about.
