Logistics mainly. There's tons of jobs that you cannot just throw more people at to accomplish something, especially in complex manufacturing.

I also don't see how you get paid the same if you're taking 6 hours off. I don't bring congress can mandate private companies to increase wages (other than minimum), and even if they did, businesses will not give that elevated wage to any new hires, making it so people like me have to take a significant wage cut if we wanted to switch jobs.

I know office workers love to brag about how much money they make over bluecollar workers, but that doesn't mean it should ignore how legislation is going to affect people like us who don't have a nice bundle of cash to fall back on. That's how you get people like Trump and DeSantis.

Thanks. I've noticed there's many LGBT people in general who seem to feel this way, so it's always nice to hear from others who do too.

Ext4 came out 20 years ago.

Everyone would be working 40 hours regardless, it's not like you're getting more pay for working 5 eights compared to 4 tens, but if even one customer in a building of 5 customers has overtime, you're going to need support that 5th day.

You can't just throw people and money at logistical problems, they just causes FAR more issues than it solves. Likewise while higher pay is always a good thing for workers, it does not solve any logistical issues surrounding supporting multiple manufacturing lines with a materials deployment that works 4 tens.

The fact you can't even imagine how a server could host something like a warehouse management system says a lot.

I'm sick of how unhinged people get about trans people, especially from those in the left. I can't tell you how many times I've had my identity invalidated by people simply because I disagree with them on something socially or politically. These people claim to be my allies but the moment I don't fit their stereotype of a trans person it's like I'm not even a person to them anymore.

What those kinds of people have done to my brother as well pisses me off to no end. It's disgusting how a political group claims to be your friend only to try and harm you if you don't act the way they want you to. That's what abusers and cultists do.

Yeah, the blue collar workers who have to pick up your slack are very well aware of your useless position. Bragging about it like this is frankly disgusting.

I'll believe it when I see it. Many jobs do not work well on this schedule, such as logistics or manufacturing plants that house multiple customers. Not to mention if you have overtime you either get in at 3am or work Friday.

This comes off as yet another article written by and advocated by office workers who likely have never had a floor job in their life. That's a privilege, and one most people do not have.

You can't vote people into office who are younger when your only viable choices are people who are all over the age of 65.

Get all these geriatrics out of office and put age limits on all public officials. This is such a farce.

No, it's because the DoJ is intentionally trying to take a neutral position in what they know is a very delicate issue.

Honestly it would be a tad concerning if they hadn't used Trump appointees for this case. It's not as if people appointed under Trump are beholden to him or even think like him. Look at how many Trump appointed federal judges shot down his election fraud cases.

When the American republic becomes the American Empire and companies become divinely chosen aristocrats. Not an impossible outcome.
