Reply to Anybody here have experience floating the Osage Fork of the Gasconade River? by hikingjoey123
Regularly and for the entirety of my 40 years. It’s a pretty untouched bit of river and the beauty of it that brought folks from cities all over the country to it back in the early 1900s remains. The outfitters are generally small and some are owned by families that have been here for decades but even when it gets busier in the summer months, they manage to accommodate the rush just fine.
Even though I’ve spent as many years as I have on this river, I still manage to be awed at its beauty on nearly every float I take. Highly recommend.

Yeah, this is a tough one. I wholeheartedly supported blocking building giant apartment buildings directly across from one of our nicest parks so that rich a-holes could get a front row view of it at the expense of everybody else. I absolutely, 100% of the time will oppose building more rental units, when what we need is more owner-occupied housing. Why is nobody building condos?
With that being said, there is a high likeyhood that I will probably oppose everything else that she stands for. I'm going to guess (but I don't know) that she will be opposed to the Lone Pine Bike Park for the same reasons that she was opposed to the apartments, and I support LPBP 100%. I don't know, and I should ask.
I generally disregard the opinions of anybody who uses the word NIMBY. It's such a cop-out, disregarding the nuance of city planning. "Oh, you don't want a sewer treatment facility next to your house? NIMBY! We need that sewer treatment facility for the betterment of our entire community!" Of course people are going to protect their own interests and look out for the quality of life in the places they've chosen to live. People who say NIMBY will also oppose gentrification, and those two ideas are often opposites of each other in practice. Talk about gentrification, look at what's happened to Galloway in the last 20 years.
As long as I'm complaining about people who use specific words and phrases, I'm going to add "patriot", "black ice", "kids these days", "in this day and age", and also to hell with anybody who drives a new Mustang or truck that has to have a hitch with a lowering extension. Also people who make lists of things they don't like on the internet.

You're the one who said "discuss." Discuss how this post relates to inequity.
I think you'd be better off posting your resume on Indeed than posting about inequity on Reddit. But that depends on if your goal is to make a positive change in your life, or just succumb to learned helplessness.

Yikes no. The name is misleasing -- it's a very, very bad homeless day shelter and unless you want to buy hard drugs, it should be avoided at all costs.

Josh Hawley is such an alpha male, his choice of porn doesn’t even have any women in it!

Its a double edged sword, but at last the wait staff get tips. (Sucks to be a bus boy, host, etc.
- A lot alot of business dont report tips - which semi benefits them as well as employees, but also probably means less of a tax return because of less claimed income.
- This also means that alot of businesses - mostly food sector - can make servers end up skipping their breaks and lunches and working early and later hours for prep and closing where you cant make any tips. (Surprisingly, no one wants to close.) Because you are getting paid-under-the-table by not reporting tips, you have to tolerate missing your lunches and breaks. (Very shitty.)
The upside though is that if you are extroverted, outgoing, attractive, charismatic or any combination of those you will probably make at least double the minimum tipped wage of where you work at least. Ive known servers to easily rake in 75k a year and not much of that ends up getting taxed if its cash tips, so you effectively are making more than 75k. (For instance $13 an hour untaxed is close to $17?)
But what about the rest of the workers who dont fall into any of those categories and people either stiff them or dont tip much for whatever reason? You are working a job with those existing negatives of prep, close, not getting your breaks and lunches, etc.
There is the Seattle approach where some restaurants just got rid of tipping and added a 20% gratuity that was shared with the staff. (This is when Seattle made the minimum wage 15$ regardless of wait staff or not.)
Some staff liked it, but as you can imagine others didnt. (Probably the ones who would have made more money with tips based on various characteristics.) The downside to that is prices when up with basically all the restaurants, and this was before the pandemic and inflation.
If you were a family of 4 with a budget of 40$ including the tip, you probably cant go out anymore. Dining out becomes a privilege of the upper middle class with the exception of places like Steak-N-Shake or fast food.
At some point there's gonna have to be a massive change to how the restaurant industry works.

Cafe Cuscos on C-Street has outdoor dining where they allow your dogs to dine with you. Some of the other restaurants on C-Street may as well, but I’m not sure which ones.

You’ll need to pick up food elsewhere and go to one of the breweries. Hold fast and tie & timber are my two favorites.

They were. I think the state attorney general office told them to lay off it. But i could be wrong.
