    I worked at Fenway Park as a vendor for 8 years - 1969-1976. I received one tip for the entire time, one. A guy gave me a dollar. He must have been a Rockefeller, maybe he was drunk. The pay was all commission - 10%. If you were selling ice cream in April you might run up and down stairs for 3-4 hours and make $3.00 for the game. If you were selling beer in August you might make $20 or $25 for 3 or 4 hours. I think these vendors make very good money in tips now. Times change.

    Should just be a nice flat tax for all. 20% based on any income. Easy.

    @Axtremus said in Sage’s Law: @LuFins-Dad said in Sage’s Law: The very fact that schools FOR ANY REASON withhold information from students legal guardians and custodians is so completely outrageous and is a complete violation of the compact made between educators and parents. Exceptions are reasonable when legal guardians/custodians are reasonably believed to be the abusers inflicting harm on the students. This is one of those cases where you like talking out of your ass because you think it's fun to piss people off by peddling your simpleton propaganda. We do actually have a system in place to determine whether information should be withheld from legal guardians and it sure as fuck isn't, "whatever the Math teacher thinks is okay." None of this has anything to do with gender, but their making it so led to this tragedy.

    @jon-nyc said in The view out my window right now: No filters, just a straightup shot on an iPhone 11. That's obvious. The window bumped the blacks by about +50. Nice one.
