At the end they find out Frank owns it and they could have left at any time.
Imagine how much they’d have to raise your current wage to remain competitive. Especially with such a poor work life balance.
My department was outsourced this year. So, I have been working as one of those weirdos while I seek new employment. Most businesses seal the food so the driver can’t touch it without it being VERY obvious. (Like a ripped sticker seal) Just know that not everyone delivering is some creep who wants to put poop in your food. I personally don’t even put orders into the cabin of my car. It goes into the trunk inside a sealable cooler that I provide/clean between shifts.
It’s supposed to play on “Don’t be an ass” but you’re right. It reads like don’t be an donkey.
A major problem with moving to these cities is the availability of comparable income and capable infrastructure for the incoming population. Any exodus from one high density area to another will have noticeable impact on the local economy. One that is inescapable is rising rent. Suggesting that renters relocating from California to Ohio will solve the rent crisis doesn’t account for those already living in these areas. It also doesn’t account for the population that a community was built to support and the systems put into stress to accommodate for them.
Above you replied to someone that mentioned living near Seattle. The impact of commuters leaving the Seattle area to the neighboring cities reaches as far north as Burlington, Bellingham, Blaine, and Ferndale. These are at times more than 2 hour commutes. Well above the parameters your solution describes. Within the past decade rents in these areas have steadily risen to meet demand. Pricing out many of the locals who were there before. Now, many who moved to these smaller towns are finding themselves in the same situation as the persons they originally displaced.
Sure if you were to search for affordable rents in these cities, there are some that come up from time to time. Though not nearly enough to support the growth these areas are experiencing.
I suppose what I mean to say is: This problem, like homelessness, cannot be solved by simply moving those affected elsewhere.
Source: In my last job I assisted with background checks for renters. One unit can receive hundreds of applicants. There simply is not enough housing for all that seek it.
Those areas aren’t cheap to rent either. If they are, available units are scarce and often only available by word of mouth.
It just means employees of businesses that were able to continue operation during the pandemic lockdowns. Iirc, being a source of sustenance enabled fast food/takeout to remain open. Regardless of the nutritional value offered. That’s at least how it was in my area of the USA.
That’s how “essential worker” included both medical professionals and fast food. It is also how certain call centers were still crammed with people unless remote was made available. The phrase was seemingly used to help improve morale for those forced to work while benefits for the unemployed paid out more than their wages.
What a killer music video for the time!
And we’re both shirtless!
When you come for the memes but leave with a TIL.
Surely the punishment will be of equal or greater value than the crime committed. /s
That’s why I call my car my home studio.
