It is also was built on super fund site. I still will not understand why Davis and other places are ok with a Target but will die before getting a Walmart. It is very impressive how target is able to pretend like they treat there employees

Davis is cool if your young. I went to UC Davis and lived there a few years after I graduated. But some of the residents that live there are just something else. Some people hate the college even though they owe everything the town has to t

That is what I am trying to get at. I think atleast here in the United States the bigger your state gets with population the more your going to see issues like you describe. Unfortunately I just do not see any government looking inward to i

China is not going to nuke a carrier group sorry but that is insane. The second that happened say goodbye to entire world. There is reason we have boomer subs. One Ohio class sub could legitimately end the world.

Eh how is it purely political kangaroo court with jury convinctions? And for sure they only bring cases they think they can win they admit to this.. for sure having money helps get you better defense. But a purely political kangaroo is a pr

Yes and they should get paid that much. When I went to school at University of California we would look up the salaries of our teachers. Most of the highest paid people were football coaches. But a few doctors making around 1.5 million. Lo

I like it. I kinda wish I got the touring for eyesight for adaptive cruise control. But it came with leather and I was just not going to deal with leather. Though the outback XT is pretty good as it is 2.4 ascent engine so no premium.

Same with my Subaru Forester! My car got totaled so I needed a new one. Used Forster that were 2-3 years old with 30k miles were selling for 24-26k with loan interest rate of 1.9 or so. I ended up by a brand new Forster xt for 28k with 0 in

It is 100% biased to USA sources. But they have interesting information on how the US defence tech industry works and goes more in depth than most places. It is a very fair point. I like how they actually talk about the technology and all

by tkojames 5y ago
Yep in California PTO and vacation get paid out. They can not do use it or lose it. They can cap how much of PTO and vacation you can have at one time. Sick time does not need to be paid out. The whole scam of unlimited PTO is so they do n
