I'm probably wasting my time

I'm going to go ahead and say yeah. I don't think there's any getting through to that dunce

My guess would be that the first attempt to rescue would usually be to turn off the filter and / or attempt to jump in and pull them out. I would think by the point anyone would think of and be able to access something to breathe through it would be too late.

This is all speculation on my point though, idk

Did you read the article?

“Her poor little body was contorted when she was sucked into this hole and pipe 20 feet back. Her body was inside of the motor when she had to be extracted," Nava continued at the time. "They had to break up concrete in order to extract her, cut pipe. It was absolutely horrific.”

I'm a strong swimmer, and even if I was watching closely anything I did would have only put me in danger without helping her.

Say what you want about how long it took the parents to find the kid, maybe they were wrong, but the hotel is 100% responsible here. If it wasn't this kid it would have been someone else, maybe an adult in which case what parents would you blame then?

Federal minimum wage for tipped workers is $2 and some change.

Legally if they end up making below minimum wage ($7.25 federally I believe, some areas are higher) between tips and wages the employer needs to make up the difference. Obviously with some of it being cash it's difficult to track and prove, so realistically they won't make up the difference.

I'm not for tipping culture, but realistically they're usually doing better than people making minimum wage without tips. I knew someone working at a DQ about a decade ago making $5.25/hour without tips. Minimum wage was still $7.25 back then, but apparently family owned businesses have a minimum wage of $5.25. Not sure if that's true, but they were able to sell it to their employees.

You don't think there's people out there to chirp the republican agenda for their own personal gain? People are definitely smart enough to say things they don't believe in to manipulate others

I mean there's definitely intelligent enough people who just want to use people

I believe it isn't even a misdemeanor which could be why it's lumped in with states where it isn't a misdemeanor, but I could be wrong
