From what I have read it is mostly young people being lead by a few older long term employees. The young ones don't plan on staying long, but keep hearing the long time employees saying how great it would be.

I always tell people if you think Unions are so great ask the people at Hostess. The company told the union they can't afford raises and the union decided to strike. Hostess told the union if you're out for more than a week or 2 we will be closing the doors because we can't afford a stroke. The union went for the strike anyway and a week later they announced they were shutting down.

I absolutely love how Starbucks is handling this. "the NLRB also alleged that the company withheld benefits and wage increases from unionized baristas — which Starbucks denied, falling back on a statement made in July stating that “The laws is clear: once a store unionizes, no changes to benefits are allowed without good faith collective bargaining.” It also sounds like you are right. "According to Gillett, she had been fired by manager Chris Mix after arriving late to work — something the company is typically lenient on, claimed union representative Jaz Brisack, except when the employee is a unionized worker." Also Starbucks corporate put out a statement. “Some of the complaints from the union have been about our sharing facts and our perspective on this important issue so partners can make informed decisions when they vote. Our hope is the union would respect our right to share information and our perspective just as we respect their right to do so.” I love the fact they wanted a union and now have to follow the rules that go along with that. That they don't like so much.

Since evidently contrary to the dozen mailers I received NY 23rd is not Carl Country, maybe Buffalo is.

Acme, Harold's Army Navy, Pete's HotDogs when it was downtown and still tested good. I think we had a Grand Union grocery store also

I never heard of the Planters store at all. I remember Granny's restaurant and when Ames was in the old Artistic plaza.

They are only planted a inch below ground. I think they would do good in an elevated box. Just make sure to provide plenty of fertilizer or nutrients since they drain the soil of it. I have some cloves I will drop by your house in the next couple week. A few different varieties. I had them separated, but they all got mixed together.

If you are planning on planting garlic this fall you will want to start getting some sed cloves. They go in the ground in the next month or so. Remember they aren't harvested till July so you won't be able to plant anything else in that location in the spring and they take all the nutrients from the soil anyway so you need to plant something next summer in that location that adds nutrients back.

That's what I am thinking. US Congress looks good on a resume.

No, A full pension is available to Members of Congress who are: *62 years of age with five years of service; *50 years or older with 20 years of service; or *25 years of service at any age. https://foxx.house.gov/legislation/fact-or-fiction-members-and-pensions.htm

I may have that printed as a poster to hang on my office wall.

I was checking out the Arena website today and I see they have Rumors of Fleetwood Mac coming in Oct. That should be a good show. Oddly enough they don't have the tattoo expo listed on their calendar.

You can work from with Wayfair. The 5 states they don't allow are Alaska, Hawaii, California and Wyoming. I don't remember the 5th one. They don't hire people for part time. Everyone starts full time and then you can request to go part time. They have had a hiring freeze in effect since May for anything other than entry level front line positions.

While the local call center never reopened after Covid restrictions they still employ virtually a decent number of people in the area. I know of at least 6 local people that were let go. Luckily I was not 1 of them. https://www.theverge.com/2022/8/19/23313103/wayfair-870-layoffs-boston-retail-furniture-home

They always classify the CEO bonuses and everything else as the salary instead of the salary they actually take. The same when they say they don't pay taxes. They pay taxes on the salary just like everyone else.

Send him bananas from Amazon.

Looks like they are sending Rogue one back to theaters ahead of the Andor release. https://www.engadget.com/rogue-one-imax-august-26th-212507232.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAFu5uWtv589ZyxLcTbiAWbNnNT9vixeipV2FvsX_srGrUvB5Vc_WnNtSPz894k6YTSNKB_8ItamGL6HaSgtRntG_CosCshJlibm03sbiH5ScyaYJ-8AVAb2kQjcq-ZniHBlpkn1U3Nfzr2sTdYDYjeRfpFrOoBitwahBnk0QmgJZ

I've already started reaching out to a couple artists to try and get a booking. We have some talented artists in this area, but I like the portrait work of some of the other ones attending.

More information on the tattoo expo. Looks like they have some of the top people in the nation attending. https://www.tattoomediaink.com/skinartconvention/

Sound familiar?

Other than new images of Jupiter I haven't seen them focus on a planet much. https://www.space.com/james-webb-space-telescope-first-jupiter-photos

Really cool video that puts into perspective how far away things the JWST showing is are. https://petapixel.com/2022/08/12/video-puts-into-perspective-how-far-away-james-webbs-camera-can-see/

I thought it was funny.

In the age of technology lasting a short time before it is replaced. The JWST is not to be excluded. https://petapixel.com/2022/08/09/1b-giant-magellan-telescope-to-have-4x-the-resolution-of-james-webb/

I wonder who the 1 vote is. Actually I don't care I am sure I know who it is
