The value these jobs create is the fabric of modern society. To quote the article, "Just shut up Mom, it's Christmas." Not saying they should be paid as much as doctors, but without these normal things that were lost during the 2020 shutdown I suspect that the protesting/looting would become more prevalent.

When we look at the issues that are behind the thin margins that restaurants operate on, i.e. rent and cost of goods, then it seems that the labor is the only variable that is under the operators control. So instead of framing the argument of whether we should have to directly pay those wages/tips the discussion needs to shift.

Why are commercial rents so high? Because vacancies are preferred over "market rate" rents. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27939860

Not saying this is the case, but when a business shuts down the property it operated in stays in place. The rent will continue to rise to meet the financial demands of the property owner. So the next fool comes in and tries to run a business that is doomed. The young workers rents are subsidized by parents. Unless a restaurant owner is working in the trenches then they will NEVER be able to run the business effectively.

The banks get richer either way, but at a certain point there will not be any restaurants left as the societal contracts erode.

The Boring YouTube 5 years ago

Recently I added my YT API key on a Kodi box at work and it "poisoned" all of my recommendations I see on my YT homepage. I look at it as a feature and not a bug, as it has curbed my ability to go to the home page and be entertained. Compared to the other plugins/add-ons that change the thumbnail or hide all the recommendations this seems to be a preferable alternative.

It is more steamed than baked. All of the moisture is intact which leads to a lot juicier piece of meat. I recommend the GoSun portable unit that is ~$100 to explore cooking with the sun.

Also it looks like they are searing the outside in a way by using the clear dishes over an opaque material that is directly absorbing the infrared heat.

Yes. Find another avenue for virtue signaling that contributes on a local level. Paying for the right to be a roaming advert is what has been advertised to you, hence you are repeating the cycle.

I do wear these brands, but try to subdue any labeling. i.e. black sharpie on the nike logo.

The current breeding techniques have produced varieties that are not conducive to the socialization (i.e. sativa vs indica). After legalization the market will need to have the marketing for sativas/socialization strains that will drive the development of happy/euphoric/uplifiting strains that do not promote sleep.

Make eye contact with every person you can. Smile through the awkwardness. Verbally greet people when in close proximity. Ask people questions that are specific to your interests ("I see you have a sports team shirt on, I too like sports ball!")

The next step is to find your confidence. Some other folks here mentioned a hobby or other activity to make friends. For me I found a rollerblading and roller skating group, because I had skated so much on my own I was able to use that confidence to fit in with the group. 70% of my friends as an adult came from that group.

And my last piece of advice is to play the "Yes" game. Whenever an opportunity presents itself then accept. You have more time to do this while you are young. This is the opposite advice as what entrepreneurs give, but when you are in college find as many opportunities to do as many new things without getting into trouble.

As for Halloween, dress up, get a big bag of candy, and try to give it all out. Do it with poise and grace. People will remember candy dude and more than likely you will find a group to tag along with.

Think about what is important to the demographic that is playing Fortnite, is playing the game more important or is having an Apple device?

There are kids that are in elementary school that wear Fortnite clothing. The brand is everywhere. I am sure some actuary did the math on it so that Apple will come ahead, but the optics on something like this will sway brand loyalty for years in this demographic.

My guess is that the content will be generated and produced in an automated manner. Or the new company will bring in their own production team for content.

You need a high birthrate to continue to suppress wages, don't forget about that! Once to population curve starts to flatten out, I do not see private insure prices going down as they will not be able to let go of the profit hence driving prices up higher.

There are two options after losing your job. Cobra or healthcare.gov.

Cobra will allow you to keep your current plan, for my family that would have been ~$800 per month.

Healthcare.gov rates are based on your income, or what it was, or what you expect it to be. Which for me was ~$700.

So there is no way to get affordable insurance to cover the gap in employment in a way that preserves cash reserves.

Is there a solution to munchies?

Lookup THCV, it is an analog that decreases your appetite along with a host of other benefits. Like you can consume any type of cannabis and then take a little THCV to counteract the munchies.

I am a product-oriented engineer with a focus on the frontend that is currently looking for a role that lends itself to my creative, interpersonal, and marketing skills.

My son got asked to do some yard work for a friend's boss. My son's friend bailed so I decided to help. After 5 hours of hard manual labor work for less than minimum wage we were finished.

When the boss lady showed up she tried to neg us on the work that was already done. She threatened to show us how lazy we were working on the cameras and that is why she was only going to pay us 2/3 of what we agreed on. We never took any breaks so it was pure insanity.

Thankfully the experience has him working way harder in school! No wonder there is a labor shortage; the beatings will continue untill moral improves!
