They are retaining staff by paying more than most other companies, but they also have a reputation for running their workers into the ground by overworking them. Many burn out pretty quickly.

I’d also be happy to see a Harris/Shapiro (PA gov) ticket.

Biden’s approval rating is about 37%, which is where George H. W. Bush’s was, and he didn’t get re-elected.

I wouldn’t say that I particularly “approve” of Biden, so I’m probably counted in the 63 percent. But I’m still going to vote for him.

Sure, I’d be more excited to vote for Michelle Obama or Josh Shapiro, but I’ll still vote for Joe Biden if he’s the nominee.

The issue with any two party system is that they’ll both fight tooth and nail to keep it that way.

American here. Can confirm.

Republicans: Stop feeding the hungry with ma tax dollars!

Big shout-out and thanks to the EU for being the only major political entity trying to actually make an effort.

“There’s a portion of the evangelical community that’s very attracted to the idea that God knows everything and God appoints leaders,” he said. “They believe that Donald Trump is the appointed leader at this moment in time.”

“‭‭Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.”

Except, of course, if the current leader is a Democrat.

where do you get the money to support such a large population?

AI supporters would tell you that productivity improvements made with AI tech will make that possible.

Yet, unemployment in most of the western world is very low. That could change, of course. We’ll likely need universal basic income down the road. Or at least some very enhanced unemployment benefits.

As soon as things get a bit more complicated- you are self-employed or have multiple streams of income, you have to fill in a return

Maybe I misunderstood.

Yeah, the UK often tries to imitate the US whether or not they should.

Oh, thinking “if they know how much I owed them anyway, why do I have to do this shit in the first place?”

They do that in pretty much all other developed countries. Never had to worry about filing taxes when I lived overseas. Just double check their work and forget about it until next year.

A spokeswoman for Intuit, Tania Mercado, criticized the direct file project as a “half-baked solution” and a waste of taxpayer money.

Yeah, screw you. You shouldn’t have to pay to file your taxes. End of story.

Starbucks disputed the allegations and told Fortune that customers can pay for their orders with whatever balance is left on their app or gift card and pay the remaining amount in cash at the store, thus reaching a zero balance.

So, this is not true? What’s the actual truth to this functionality?

True. I’m just glad I’m not part of that experiment. It’s bad enough to live with the threat of a second Trump presidency.

No society should accept billionaires. There are so many other people who are in dire need. It makes zero difference if they have a billion or a 100 million.

“The cutoff should be above my age” - everyone in this thread lol

I don’t see it that way. The minimum age for President in the US is 35 years of age and that’s their cutoff. That, to me, doesn’t make sense.

45 and under would be better. Includes all millennials.
