Sounds like they are converting you to salary at 14.00 an hour in order to avoid OT rules.

If that is the case, they need to raise that number a lot.

(12.92×40) + (19.38×8) = 671.84

14×40= 560.

If they want you on salary, demand at a minimum 125% of that 671 number, as they will abuse it. Min 800 - 850 weekly salary

I think posts like this vastly underestimate the strength of the "anyone but a democrat" voters. We saw it in the last election in PA. Oz, a scammer from NJ that was openly carpet bagging in PA still won 46.3% of the votes. Mastriano won 41.7% of the votes and basically stopped running 1/2 way through the campaign after he started pulling < 20 people to his rallies and went way off the deep end.

The success of the "Democrats are going to take everything you have, and give it to a minority single mother with 5 kids and 3 baby daddies because the daddies are all in jail because they murdered white people in drive by shootings for their gang" is so insanely integrated into the personality of republican voters, that they will die before they change their minds.

&#x200B;

Republicans can, and have been, running the worst humanity has to offer, and winning, because of the success of this marketing message that started in the 70's. They don't THINK their constituents are crackpots, they KNOW they are brainwashed sheep who will always vote against their own self interests, as long as it is to beat the Democrats.

&#x200B;

also, the Republican leadership has known for decades that this is a losing strategy long term, they just need to hold on long enough until they can make massive sweeping decisions that guarantee their control. This is why the gerrymandering, voter suppression, immigration prevention, blocking new districts (DC/PR), preventing birth control, claiming religious zealots, etc has been their platform, they NEED to cheat, because they know their message isn't received well by educated, minorities, and youth and they will lose as their base dies off

Public defender attorney positions are union jobs with salaries tied
to a labor deal with one year remaining. The starting salary for public
defenders in the county is about $51,000 a year.

keep in mind, to be an attorney its 4 years of college, then 2 - 3 years of law school, then you need to pass some insanely hard tests... in order to make 24.50 an hour.

&#x200B;

If they want ADA's, there is an easy solution... do the job for 5 years at 24.50 an hour, and 50% of your student loan debt is removed, at 10 years, all the rest is removed. So by 35, they have 10 years experience, and 0 student loan debt, and can go do whatever else they want to do with their career while they are replaced with new attorneys.

As long as they offer shit wages, shit work hours, and basically shitty clients, they are going to never have enough.

It was also almost entirely barren of wildlife in the early 1900's, the water quality was so bad that it was undrinkable without getting typhoid or a myriad of other diseases.

basically: the ONLY thing that has kept our state (and most of the US) from being an absolute waste land is the gov't stepping in and stopping capitalism

They are all bad, 100% of them are awful. Avoid HOA's at all costs, or you WILL get lots of extra costs.

&#x200B;

If you ARE going to buy, make damn sure you fully read the HOA rules, things like color of house, where your trash cans can be, what you can have in your driveway,... and of course how much the monthly costs are compared to what you are going to use.

&#x200B;

Also, keep in mind that most HOA areas are for shared services, which means you are going share them with all the people there on vacation with Air BnB's/VRBO
