  • Just here to commiserate. I am currently dealing with a total loss settlement myself.

    I hope you, your wife, and any other involved parties are well.

    Lastly, if you are an American, do NOT settle medical claims. You have a long time to figure that all out and the insurance company wants to give you as little as they can possibly get away with and what ever you sign is the final amount they will help with. In Texas, you have 2 years to settle bodily injury claims. Take the time you need before you settle.

    That’s why there was a large push for student debt forgiveness literally a year ago. But the right still flipped their shit. It’s not about fairness to the people in the past, it’s about fairness for those in the future. Children should not be in massive debt at 16 or 17. Hell, I feel like nobody should be taking on debt until they can fully understand what it takes to pay a debt off. So, not a student.

    The right just love to pull up the ladder.

    I’m not disagreeing with you. Just adding on that many of America’s unions are no longer for the members of said unions. They just collect dues and stay out of the way of the corporations they are meant to protect the workers from. It’s immensely frustrating to see such lack of action from them.



  • 40 hours is the normal expected work week in the US. But most states don’t have overtime pay requirements until after 48 hours of labor in a single week. Some states require an unbroken 8 hour rest period inside each 24 hours but not much more than that.








  • I can’t help but feel like there is some confirmation bias going on here in these numbers. Someone who still uses Kaspersky after all of the Russian government allegations is probably someone who also doesn’t care if they can’t update to windows 11 because they don’t intend on spending more money for security patches.
