Workers got complacent because they didn't understand what the union actually did for them and they listened to the business propaganda. Unions don't appear out of thin air. They are formed because a business is screwing its employees to a breaking point.

If you're in a union job, it's a guarantee that same job in the past had a fraction of the pay and benefits you have now and previous workers stopped putting up with it.

insurance policies have to be written so plenty of money is paid out showing that customers are getting value out of being insured, but not so much that the company goes bankrupt.

A reminder that insurance is just profit driven socialism in a mask.

I remember I did look into it years ago and at one point there was a fairly legitimate reason.

The decision to enforce revoking tax exemption was directly assigned to a specific position according to law, but various changes to the IRS structure had removed and combined positions. So the position the law specifically says must make that determination, didn't exist anymore.

It probably could be argued in court that the other powers of that position were moved to another position and clearly that power should as well, it was just an oversight, but that would rely on the courts and common sense rather than the law as written.

I'm 99% sure this was fixed years ago in one of the various changes to the tax code, but at one point the law as written meant no one could revoke exemptions.

Why? They'd just have to get rid of him like Cavill then.

The books have nothing to do with the story the show runners want to make, regardless of what they may say in public. If the books were something they cared about, Cavill would still be there and those first seasons wouldn't have fundamentally destroyed characters and their relationships.

Because they didn't want a primary source. Especially not one that would try to correct them instead of letting them make their own shitty story in the universe and destroying existing characters in the process.

Not surprising. The issues they had with Cavill were directly related to the fact that he knew the source material and how they were fucking it up.

Especially egregious since they were extremely vocal about staying true to the source material in the books, then immediately throwing that out the window after they got the names of places, characters, and general occupations.

For the actual cooking pan, yes that's what the comment was saying. The tools were specifically mentioned as separate to the pan.

Because the owners have grifted all of that away to private accounts already of course.

It's already illegal for them to do so, it just needs to be enforced. It doesn't even need a massive division.

Have someone look through their social media for political commentary, and send someone to sit in on a random day and see if politics is brought up during a service. Then handle it accordingly. It's pretty straight forward here, either they are discussing politics or they're not. If they are, revoke their tax exemption.

Right, but the comment I responded to only mentions cast iron, as if it's the only or even best alternative.

All this does is make your enemy fight even harder, inflicting even more losses. If they know they will be killed when surrendering, they have literally nothing left to lose and will fight to the bitter end.

Considering recent reports of MS not returning communications with developers that they already have working relationships with... They might want to see if their emails are going to real people at MS in the first place.

 

NASA and Boeing officials pushed back Friday on headlines that the commercial Starliner crew capsule is stranded at the International Space Station but said they need more time to analyze data before formally clearing the spacecraft for undocking and reentry.
