Is that what you want to hear when it's your turn? Fuck this scab ass take. "I support workers rights, no really, it's just I need my treats."

I would expect that the elected representative acted I. The best interests of the majority of their constituents over that of a few. That’s literally what an elected officials job is supposed to be.

I can be both upset that action against a subset of the population and acknowledge the persons responsibility to work in the best interests of the majority.

That’s why what happens after is so important.

A lot of people in the US seem to tie their emotions up in their politics.

As to a subjective statement like Biden being the most union friendly president, I just ignore comments like that. There are people who claim Trump was the best president ever too. These are opinion statements, not measurable in any form of empirical data.

That was one concern. Another is our specific situation. Our foundation square footage is 972, our lot is 3,991 in total, none of it yard, half is all wild growth and weed trees, the rest is clover we planted to replace the grass and support pollinators. Our property tax is $3,750 this year, our land value is $46,400. I understand the calculation would be different on LVT but if I’d end up paying more on an LVT scheme then I wouldn’t want to have it in place.

I’d be more in favor if the county determined it’s annual budget costs and then divided that by the total acreage of privately owned land and you paid the percentage equal to your total land value.

I may be misunderstanding but it reads like .09 acres I have may be assessed as more valuable because of where it is than .09 acres 20 miles away in Tre same state and county.

Why does everybody post this tidbit but not the fact that the White House continued working with the rail companies after all of the strike talk and the Tentative Agreement and many rail workers got sick time as well?

I’m not speaking to their stance on unions, just the fact that the President’s job is to represent their constituency, just like all politicians. An economic crash due to a rail shutdown doesn’t benefit any person in the US.

I support unions and workers right to strike but at the cost of potential economic collapse?

I think more focus should be given to the lack of visible support on pro union/worker legislation.

Oh boy! I guess I see why people are against it. Probably should come up with a better plan.

So it disincentivizes living in an urban setting an penalized fixed income people already in those homes?

I focus on the good news, like a lot of medical breakthrough stuff. I just heard researchers think they’re close to a cancer treatment pill that will target only the cancer cells.

And the recent breakthrough in an artificial kidney! Only a very small fraction of kidney failure patients get transplants each year and this would be a game changer for the thousands who don’t. Plus no immunosuppressants and a much more normal life? Amazing!

To somebody else’s point, how would this compare to the what single family home owners pay now?

Where I live we have about .09 acres of land our house sits on and we pay ~$3000/year.

Sometimes even this isn’t enough though. Minnesota requires peace officers to be licensed and to maintain that license with ongoing continuing education. Without steps to strip that license based on conduct then it is essentially toothless.

It would make more sense to have a licensing body or multiple that are all connected, use the same processes and can strip a license.

Doctors, nurses, lawyers, teachers all over the US already have licensing requirements, ongoing training requirements etc.

Edit to add: I live in Minnesota and Philando Castile was shot and killed by a Saint Anthony police officer in Falcon Heights. Falcon Heights used neighboring Saint Anthony’s department for their city as well. Outsourcing to another agency/department doesn’t address root cause of policing issues.

I think part of the problem here is the news media and how the stories are framed.

The headline should be that obstinate companies refuse to share the profits and meet reasonable union demands, which will cost them millions.

I’m an amateur at this stuff and not at all familiar with the terminology, that said I had a similar setup to you I think, running a Windows PC with docker for P.O.-hole, homebridge, Plex etc. and then I was using an old MyCloud as the NAS. I got tired of troubleshooting issues and tweaking when things didn’t work and switched over.

Now I run an Asus Mini PC with Ubuntu and docker as a Plex server and P.O.-hole. The rest is handled by a Synology DS912+ running docker for a secondary Plex server, I have 7-10 individual users, a second pi-hole for failover and homebridge.

The Asus maps to the Synology on boot for the Plex media, all notifications for system issues/performance, out of date software etc. is handled by the Synology.

Ultimately it’s going to depend on which software you prefer I think. If you like OMV and it’s working well stick with it.

Way to go! You weren’t defeated, you did the whole job you were able to. You can get a short length of pipe that will slide over your wrench handle to give you extra leverage in cases like this.

I worked as a service writer in a shop full of mechanics (all men) and they all had a breaker bar wrench for these situations.

Also, if you’ve got the DIY bug now and you take on more projects find a store (Harbor Freight is good if in the US) that sells cheap tools, buy them there and if you use it enough to break it, then go buy the more expensive/better made version.

Saves from spending lots on a tool you rarely use.

They cannot legally withhold your pay. You can report this to the state Bureau of Wage and Hour Administration here.

Edit to add: if you have access to a corporate HR number or contact you can report this to them to maybe get faster resolution, smart HR doesn’t fuck around with this kind of stuff.
