  1. My brother has a union job. Good pay, good benefits, and easily the best job he's ever had. He still generally thinks unions are bad. Indoctrination works on most people.
  2. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/14/lutnick-el-salvador-crypto-immigration The firm Lutnick headed owns a 5% stake in crypto firm Tether. Tether is located in El Salvador.
  3. Kulusevski had surgery. We're boned.
  4. It's funny, but fake.
  5. The operators smiled and nodded to their faces and continued telling others what they were getting paid.
  6. GlobalFoundries in upstate NY. This was almost 10 years ago. Owned by the sovereign wealth fund of the UAE.
  7. Years ago when I worked at a semiconductor manufacturer, the guys they initially hired didn't necessarily make great money. As they expanded, they had to pay less qualified guys more money to work there due to the local labor pool. Guys would get pissed knowing some new guy with no experience was making $2-3/hour than a guy who had been there 3-4 years. Management tried telling us we weren't allowed to talk about our pay rate or we'd get written up by HR.
  8. They are hiring 20 operators. They stopped accepting applications last night at midnight.
  9. Rooting for Sunderland. Been a fan since they had Altidore and Gooch.
  10. I'm union. I make probably 1.5 times or so more than I'd make if I wasn't. I wouldn't expect most of the theoretical newly created manufacturing jobs to be union. That's the part that actually made them good, middle class jobs. Maybe the electricians will be IBEW.
  11. Automation means fewer of those positions. Depending on the company and industry, some prefer people with degrees for those jobs. That's my experience from almost 15 years of working in operations for various companies.
  12. Engineering jobs. Most postings for skilled trades are looking for trade school degrees or certifications.
  13. Just your mom. In exchange for some "jobs."
  14. https://www.ft.com/content/ffd23343-473a-448b-8de7-e509e04a7576
  15. Man U is doing the exact same thing.
  16. It makes one wonder if that wasn't part of firing the librarian of congress.
  17. Coventry had a terrible back pass that directly lead to Sunderland's second goal.
