The reason Labor Day in the US is in September was to give lip service to unions and the labor movement but avoid any association with May 1st because of that date's association with actual struggles of the US Labor movement. In the US, the meaning of Labor day has been successfully suppressed by making it a meaningless holiday devoid of celebrations or commemorations other than as a weekend for end of summer BBQs or vacations.

Kids gotta learn. Dogs and siblings teach the importance of being aware of your environment and never letting your guard down.

Fun fact - after being rejected by three other sculptors as an apprentice she found a sculpting mentor who had John Brown among his clients. Yes, that John Brown.

Pretty much every belief system boils down to "don't be an asshole" and yet people keep overcomplicating this by making up excuses to justify being an asshole to others.

I'd say that dude learned a lesson, but he won't remember it or anything else from a few minutes prior.

Very real issue - many, many, MANY of these folks took menial jobs in health care. Through federal and state programs they got training, went to work, and have been doing the dirty work of caring for folks (particularly the elderly). This is already a field with a shortage of workers. This will devastate eldercare in a lot of facilities across the nation.

a standard NBA basketball is a bit more than 7000 cc in volume. Based on the size of the hands in the photo, those are definitely bigger than a basketball unless that is a particularly small individual.

There's a store in the Kroger family of brands that I shop at maybe twice a year when I can't find things elsewhere, so my history with them is sporadic and nearly random. So they keep sending me pathetic coupons like 25 cents off a can of store brand garbanzo beans or plastic forks because I bought those things to make a 3 bean salad for a BBQ once last summer.

Trump's demands for Canada sure have an Anschluss vibe. Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer seems to be the negotiating strategy.

It is something you can do with half your brain while the other half is doing something else. Play a game on one monitor while the other has a stream, YouTube or whatever going on.

The goal is to eliminate Social Security for two reasons - employers no longer have to contribute a few pennies a year for their portion of the contribution. Second, they want to force people into the stock market as the only way to fund retirement so private firms can siphon off the money.

I do not understand how a government official can be bound by an NDA. They are public officials, emphasis on public and any information they are given should be disclosed to the public if someone requests it.

The reason why the US dominated militarily for so long wasn't about superior weapons or some kind of magical superpowered soldiers. It was logistics. Grifters are the enemies of logistics because they see the whole process as money to be made, not vital to defense.

Even during the height of the Pacific campaign in WW2, we did not have ships on station for so long with no shore leave, no friendly port, no relief from alert. While sailors might have long deployments, those deployments included a logistics fleet that included BARGES FILLED WITH ICE CREAM. We were able to manage that during the biggest conflict in human history and now we can't even keep these folks in soap and clean underwear.

System working as intended. Get Boomers to spend their accumulated wealth rather than leave it to their alienated children who might use it for silly things like paying off debt or finally being able to afford the down payment on a house.

I still think they have the opportunity to do the funniest thing and request to negotiate with Obama.

When Regan busted the air traffic controller's union, the agency scrambled to hire and train new ones. This led to a severe increase in accidents and deaths for many years afterwards.

I have a friend with a service dog and I always ask because even though we're familiar, I don't want to distract him while my friend might need him working.

It is appropriate because their product, when properly used, is like the trojan horse - full of sea men.

The best food you've ever eaten was probably prepared by a chain smoking ex-con on parole after serving 23 years for a laundry list of violent crimes and has only 10% of his skin not covered in tattoos. His prep cook is a 5' tall Hispanic man who speaks zero English, has no legal status in any country on earth and can expertly sculpt and plate desserts for 50 in the time it would take a mortal man to do 5.
