At first glance it sounds like a lot of deliveries, but I just ran the numbers on when I used to deliver pizza. My average 6 hour shift saw 12 deliveries. I worked 5 days of 6 hours apiece, so that's 60 deliveries a week. Call it 50 weeks a year, and I was at 3000 deliveries in a year.

I was also paid $6.25 an hour + tips, which worked out to be approximately $13/hr in total. Total yearly earnings was $19,500.

Note: This was 20 years ago.

America already bans direct cigarette advertising on television, and had since the 1970s. A decade or two ago, they decided that naming events after known cigarette brands and having inescapable cigarette billboards should also be banned. We lost the Winston Cup then, though I presume the event has another name. Cigarette sponsors would lock out a critical niche of World Cup viewers.

I'm in Vancouver. There are tons of jobs at 25 hour with zero experience, yet people still do these jobs.

The guy i referenced was a refugee from somalia. He had been here awhile though. I wonder if there is a fundamental lack of knowledge about taxes and other hidden cost at play they may not be so large in other places. It might not cost so much to repair your etc maybe. Maybe taxes are lower
