Reply to 4/10's by New-Nefariousness-51

CNH does 4/10. I work the night shift so it's 4 to 2:30. It's not bad I like it. But it's factory work and you get hella dirty. Well depending on the department you work.

I have several employees I don't have a problem finding help and my employees are happy. You also most certainly can live on 13 to $14 an hour in Springfield easily. You just can't afford to have every digital service known to man. Or drive brand new vehicles. I'm sorry you can't afford a Tesla on $14 an hour. This doesn't mean your employer is not paying you a livable wage. I can't afford absolutely everything I want because my employer doesn't pay me enough. This is the mentality of a small child throwing a temper tantrum. An your words express this ever so eloquently. Entitled children. Open your own business and your views will change because reality will smack you in the face.

Yeah I agree that's probably wrong. MSU total students are 26k, Evangel 2k, Drury 2k, OTC total is 11k but there's a lot of online and satellite locations. I'd guess more like 35k, but 40k isn't out of reason.

Didn't include other bible collages or the odd for profit ones, I can't imagine there's another 1k hiding in all of them.

That being said, it's a good point if we have roughly 40k students in a population of 160k, that means 25% of our population counted are college students, many of whom are very under employed making part time money skewing the average way down. Probably the same reason Columbia is right there with us.

Reply to Anyone know why FDā€™s Grillhouse is so cheap??? by ThrowRA32192000

I guess I'm going to have to give FD's another shot. I've eaten there 3 times and had awful experiences each time. But ppl keep recommending it to me so I kept trying but finally after 3 bad experiences I gave up on it. However, it has been a few years so maybe I'll try again.

Reply to Used video games? by KrazolS

The new Switch Sports game is very similar to the classic Wii Sports (tennis, bowling, etc). The kids at Thanksgiving played it almost the entire weekend. (And adults played quite a bit, too!)
