Capital gains come with risks. Many people lose money when investing their money. Encouraging investment in companies is what makes humans flourish rather than squirreling the money away in a mattress.

Space 101 (Magnuson) is actually local and has an eclectic mix

this is the norm for the entire industry. and why commercials at the same time? that's because they are all owned by the same company.

So, even though you've moved, you're still not happy.

Let's hope so. Prices will come back down & wages will come up. Fingers crossed you're right.

I once worked in radio in this area. All programming decisions are informed by national music charts. Stations can see which songs were added/dropped in any given week and they all just follow those charts.

In addition to that, record labels are always pushing (often paying) for their songs to be added. I once loved this medium but, after seeing how the sausage is made and how little money it provides it's people, I can't stand it.

In my case, I don't pay into it, nor am I eligible to receive it. Some weird thing about our union contract and how it has to be negotiated. That being said, I have forgone and put off procedures needed until I get my vacation time. Like I need knee surgery and have pushed it out to September when I get my vacation time. I get it in August, but there no appointments then. Mainly because I can't afford not to get paid for the 6 or 7 weeks of rehab after the surgery. So, in the meantime, I work as much over time as I can as my vacation hours are based on the amount of hours worked per year. Which may cause further damage to the knee.

I had no idea you could ever see this from White Salmon. During COVID we rented a house there with an amazing river view and a kitchen to match. What a remarkable area!

I already tried. Maybe I'm missing something. Can I rent your house?

107.7 and 90.3 are going to have to be pried from my cold dead hands. i love them.

Yep, she is getting paid just like the last two times. I was approved for PFML when she went to New Mexico and to California, 3 weeks and 2 weeks. The problem with childcare is not paying for childcare. it's my work hours that prevent me from doing it every day. There are days when im 200 miles from home working someone's facility and staying there until the work is completed. I have worked 20 hours straight some days. I am a Milwright, or Maintenance Contractor, going to Amazons, UPS, Fedex, Ontrac, and other places all over the Puget Sound area.

Trying to find daycare for extended hours is not easy. We have one we use, and they offer extended daycare, and I will be using it when they go back to school after the summer. IWill be taking my kids to the daycare early in the morning and they will take them to school for me and picking them up from school and when I finish work, I will pick them up at daycare. I will also be working for 7 months of her deployment.

Regardless, I get $50 deducted from my paychecks per month for PFML, and I qualify to use it for 12 weeks, then im going to use it.

Use the website it’s a new feature.

You can't sort by price on the app

Or they're just trying to get as much money as they can.

I’ve seen 2-3k average but depends where. Also I was looking for only 30 days

Why not just use the website lol

Probably.

As others have posted, seems like there are more ads - I wonder if that has to do with there being more choices (satellite radio, streaming services) so radio needs to sell more ads cheaper since they're not reaching as many people.

I bet there is a huge chunk of the population that just streams from their phone and doesn't bother listening to the radio at all. I'd probably do this for the most part but my phone->car audio has barely tolerable sound quality.

EDIT: Yeah, try KEXP. I like a lot of their genre specific shows, they match what I typically listen to.

Seems like it's gotten worse over the past several months.

Nice! Yeah bj and migs are good too. In addition to 90.3 KEXP, there is (or was) also Everett’s version, I stumbled upon it about 5 years ago and was very impressed. I think it was 94.something. If you can find it it’s worth checking out

Some private timberland owners, such as Weyerhaeuser, and Green Diamond, sell access permits that may include firewood cutting.

Does she not get paid when she's deployed? I would imagine that could pay for daycare.

This describes radio for the last ... 4 decades? Longer? It's just gotten worse as a smaller number of companies own a larger share of the stations.

KNKX 88.5, C89.5, and I think 98.9 (classical) are all public radio and much better to deal with
