It would make sense since that regional adjustment system already exists that they could apply it to everything. I’m sure there are some macro economics that would affect but I’m too lazy to put that much thought into it.

I think people underestimate how many civilians work alongside our men and women in uniform. Walk out to any hangar on a base in the US and it will be close to half and half. If it’s test facility it may be more civilians.
This is the same as me. I also have a policy on both my kids. It’s $10k and it’s so I don’t have to worry about funeral costs.
There are also plans like that and turn into a college fund but it’s probably just better to use a 529 for that.
But ultimately, in my opinion, it’s better to have a one on the bread winner of the family. But some people feel they are never necessary.
If you die young you don’t need insurance because your spouse is still hot and can re-marry easily. If you die older your children are out of college and can take care of themselves.
Everyone take or don’t take insurance policies for their own reasons and it’s hard to know exactly why unless they make it plainly obvious.
It depends. It makes it a lot harder to claim but not out of the question.
You’re not wrong, but that only applies to teachers in low cost of living areas. High cost of living teachers start at $55k these days.
I also wonder how it would work. My wife clocks in when she gets to school and clocks out when she leaves, but she still lesson plans and grades papers at home.
I don’t know about the UK but in the USA slavery was abolished in the 1865, but equal rights weren’t granted until 1965. All the states were not in full compliance until the early 1970s. You could easily argue there are people still alive today directly affected by slavery.
Making slavery illegal doesn’t mean everyone suddenly starts hugging in the streets and bigotry is abolished. I’m sure these same sentiments persisted in UK but hopefully not as long as it did in the USA.
What’s wrong with Signal besides requiring a phone number?
That’s my point. Let people make that decision if they want it for free with no privacy or paid with privacy.
It’s a scam how much we are tracked without real consent and/or compensation.
That we are not paid for our browsing data, app data, etc.
You’re right. I was wrong. There is a big difference between websites and ISPs, and in my eagerness to respond I skipped that basic understanding.
I feel like their should be basic policing of the most horrific things, e.g. child porn. But you’re right, it’s impossible to filter everything out in a timely manner by websites.
Right, so then they should be operated as a public telecom and be regulated as Title II. This would allow them to be free from such lawsuits.
However, they want to remain as private for profit companies so they should be held responsible for not acting responsibly.
All true, but neither of these parent posts address the fact these efficiencies we’re not passed onto the worker but hoarded at the top
If pay would of stayed near the slope of productivity gains in the US none of this would be a problem.
Every average worker from french fry cook to teacher to nurse to engineer should be paid double what they are if everything stayed in line. Or you at least increase the top tax rate to redistribute the money back to normal folks.
But the US has done none of these which leads us on the path to the most common reason nations fall. Excessive amounts of inequality….
The artists have some control. They could opt to make their tickets non-transferable. I doubt Ticketmaster would let that happen.
But artists are awfully quiet on the matter and let Ticketmaster be the bad guy while some portion of the fees are definitely going to the artists. Especially an artist like Taylor who is smart and has actual power.
I don’t think that’s favorable treatment. Defense is 3%. Social Security is 5%. Medicaid and Medicare is also 5%.
We can afford our defense budget and make the country better for the common person by utilizing our funds more efficiently and/or moving to universal healthcare.
And another 2.5Trillion on the private side. Spend more on healthcare than any other country with the same or worse outcomes.
A higher paid salary has negotiating power when being asked to work over time. Want me to stay late for a couple days no problem. Want me to work overtime for a couple weeks? Then I need to be paid at least straight time for every hour worked past 40.
So far I haven’t had any issues with this approach. They either pony up or suddenly it’s not that urgent. Have yet to be fired, but I don’t get asked to work overtime unless it’s truly needed now.
