Maybe it is because of this: https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-supreme-court-lets-246-billion-boy-scouts-sex-abuse-settlement-proceed-2024-02-22/

I buy it for my kids because they are on the spectrum and McDonald’s French fries are literally 1 of 7 foods one of them will eat. I would eat it, because I love it, but I have celiac and can’t.

Touche!

Because there are more important topics to cover, such as the fascist leanings of the other key candidate.

To be fair, he was convicted of many felonies. It would be irresponsible not to.

I got school credit working at McDonalds. You learn all sorts of stuff, like how to show up on time (something I was shocked I would have to later teach people as a manager) and I personally learned the phrase “you got time to lean, you got time to clean” (which I use to this day to irritate my children). Obviously, no child should be put into a dangerous job, but you do lean some things by actually experiencing the work environment. And construction is a legit, respectable job/career that (if done right/safely) a teen could learn a lot from.

That’s how it should be - and is another excellent gesture of good will. But, based on a quick search, it looks like each of the 20 senior execs makes ~$2m/year (in cash, they get stocks too, but those don’t cost the company anything). If you halved their salaries, it would be ~$675/year for each of the 33k striking machinists - and does not totally bridge the gap to meet union requests. It also would omit SPEEA. But I agree, there are a bunch of levers they can and should be pulling.

I’m not sure the business has the $$ to support all of the union requests (Should they? Yes, but good ol’ Dave really did a number on the business). They should offer to attempt claw back the last 3 CEO departure packages as a guesture of good will if they can’t meet union requests.

It needs to be broken up.

My mom has vitiligo and this doesn’t seem like it offensive, since it is part of a larger costume. Probably ok at a costume party with close friends or in a play.

Does this number include Boeing workers on strike or furloughed claiming unemployment? Because that is 33k+.

Lines can be long, polls have limited hours (often conflicting with work hours), a person may need a ride to the polling location, etc. Some states have stupid rules like you can’t give people in line to vote food or water, which makes standing in line for hours more challenging.

I dunno… It is Kitsap County.

They’ll ask for (and probably get) a government bailout. So no reason not to run the ship into the ground!

It is criminal how badly the company has been run for the last 3 decades. I can’t believe Vanguard, Black Rock and Newport (3 largest shareholders) haven’t sued the board for negligence.

Underrated comment.

I think the tax (including what is taxed and number of brackets) is state dependent. But generally speaking the idea is to not penalize people for buying necessities. But you are right, it is super confusing especially if not noted on the receipt. Check out Washington state’s rules if you want your brain to hurt: https://dor.wa.gov/education/industry-guides/restaurants-and-retailers-prepared-food/retail-sales-tax#:~:text=Sales of prepared food,food from retail sales tax.

I wondered about this as a tactic. Like doesn’t a pager really limit the age group / demographic you can target?

It is roughly 5% increase each year, right? Inflation in Seattle is about 3.1% - so it is a very meh offer from the business.

Did it land using a golden parachute? I heard Boeing was good at those…
