I’m actually going to be able to buy a house for the first time.

Was it good?

As godawful as everything is, I still find it very hard to believe that any more than 10% of the US military would follow orders to actually attack Canada. I really hope I’m not just naive.

Theyre a national security threat in the US also

How do the Turkish pistachios stack up?

Agree

“I am an old-school Liberal,” said Freeland. “And Liberals in Canada win when we are focused on people and on what they need in their lives.”

Call me crazy, but this is what I am looking for in literally every politician.

I don’t want to be part of that 2 though

As to your last question: It would almost certainly not be worth it.

I’m fighting the same battle, because I am in a quasi-leadership role now, and I have to say the examples of positivity and optimism, when my instinctive reactions to most things are rolling my eyes and sighing because “Ugh, not this shit again.” Is going to be an uphill battle. The funny part is, I’m never actually upset. The more problems get thrown my way, the more excited I get to solve them. Unfortunately I have this very odd habit of presenting my excitement in a way that everyone else in the world understands to be frustration and negativity.

Combined with other interconnected devices and AI technology, the labels can also be used to make the shopping experience more personalized by performing “advanced data collection and analysis,” which leads to “greater profits and higher levels of consumer trust,” according to JRTech Solutions Inc., the Canadian retailer Sobeys is getting the labels from.

Dolansky agreed that for the average shopper, the changes often go unnoticed. “A lot of these items we just pick up and put in the cart without looking at the price at all,” he said.

Listen mate. I’m not advocating for this viewpoint. I’m trying to illustrate for y’all the difficulties we face here, that are baked into the system. Obviously we need to unionize. A lot. Soon. But it’s very much stacked against those who try. I will give them all the support I can. But these are very real challenges.

That tracks. The Florida of New England 🤢

I am part of a new team created to bring order to the chaos that resulted from a disorganized wellbeing company merging with an even worse health plan administration company. I am in a constant battle to help people understand the byzantine complexities of the systems powering our stuff, and encourage and facilitate open communications between teams and departments that until now have each had their heads buried in the sand, with zero interest in understanding how their work contributed to the whole. Also I come up with better ways to do all these things. I think businesses Analyst position responsibilities probably vary widely by team and company though.

Engineering Business Analyst. I need to learn SQL though

Unionizing does not make sense for where I am at. For those for whom it does make sense, they will get fired before ever coming close to having a union, and then they will lose their health insurance. Please see Amazon for a good example.

Are you in New Hampshire?

And then you get fired, and then you lose your health insurance

Well, I see how you reached that conclusion. Unfortunately the US is socioeconomically completely different than any of those places, and our own oligarchs have engineered the system to keep us in our place.
