See I used to think of upstate New York as part of New England so I’m not certain, maybe because New York was Dutch,

ah, i can read very good, much good indeed.

Well, in that case, 400 bucks does go far. That can feed like 3 people for a month.

Rent down by 400, 1800-1200 = 400.

Epic sabbath keeper moment

Mi parcero el alucín que culiaba hasta con la prima pero se volvió evangélico:

Okay, 2400 2 bed, 1200 instead of 1800. If you wanna get more wild , we can do 5 people 2 bed...

Find me a place that is 400 bucks without people that will end up in a dumpster, because they can't be adults?

Call right when they open

I'm aware. I would just like to see more Japanese-specialized ones. I've been to Kam Man, Good Fortune, and a few others. I'm aware.

ok thanks i appreciate your help :)

For one, it was a compromise to get the new minimum wage.

Two, Sunday has stopped being held as a day of rest, or a day in which people can just take it easy. So no one's going to consider it that important, and suggesting it be like a worse Saturday, or leadup to Monday, is therefore pretty normal.

Or you could do what all students do and have roommates. Bings rent down by 400-800 a month pretty quick. It is minimum wage, minimum standard of living. If you want more go get certification or education to qualify you for a job that pays more.

For a year. The wage would have to increase. But then, there's nothing saying a business cannot and should not offer time and a half for Sunday.

And you just know how the pigs view “brown people” 🙄 (hint: with unreasonable misplaced disdain because ‘muh selective bootstraps’ and ‘muh selective personal responsibility’ and so on)

Somehow those scum-ass republicans really did make everyone believe that just because your skin is a certain color you abuse social systems / are inherently lesser

This we refused and now they offer double time for Sunday and holidays

Ooh, even better. Bring on the snow!

I think it coincides with the secularization of holidays and transitioning of these events s into major shopping days. If we are going to commercialize everything then no day is special when every day is an opportunity for corporate wealth. In the end, all workers will pay for a secularized society.

Sundays are special in that typically the businesses that operate the most on them are retail hence why the wage increase was given to those workers. Weekends are factually busier at these establishments requiring more work as M-F workers are shopping at them.

I'm from NY, and the only company I ever worked for that did something like this(unless we accumulated enough hours for over or double time) was Costco where Sunday you were paid overtime no matter how many hours you worked.

The original intent and connotation be damned it was to encourage a day of rest and with the primary affected group being retail employees, which tend to be lower/working class it was excellent way to benefit those who have seen some of the worst wage growth (only worse are probably truck drivers) since their fruition. The world is a little quieter too when every retailer isn't open for 12 hours a day one day a week.

so if you are a nurse and work weekends but don't work say tuesday and wednesday you should get paid more than the nurses who work tuesdays and wednesdays?

im sure that'd go over well

Def can be doing that on 15 bucks an hour.

after taxes comes to about 13.5 an hour.

40x13.5 540x4 2160 a week

1800 for a studio apartment 200 for utilities and you have 160 bucks left over for car insurance, car, gas, food. So you gotta work more hours than the 40.

60 gets you an extra 270 a week. 1080 a month. Which working 60 hours a week, that will get you enough to eat and sleep in warm building. Now thats just more than a 1/3 of your life working for shit pay. Id rather sell drugs.
