What difference does it make if McDonald's workers make that? Good for them, damn.

$85k great take it, that's much better than SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE. You know the median income for an entire household in Springfield is $40k?

And you're damn right, you have kids, you have to feed them, pay for doctors, pay for school, pay for everything. You're a parent, suck it up, they're relying on you.

I have more responsibilities than you'd imagine, spouse, kids, job, second job, keeping employees alive, volunteering, home renovations. Don't complain to me, I'd kill to take $85k and ONLY have one job with a wife and a kid.

What ever happened to that anyways? Seems like it fizzled out but someone is still paying for hosting?

Agreed but woah. Tiny town?! How have I never heard of that, that's awesome!

Months? Theres no less than 3 people here sharing opportunities for work starting at $17/hr for no experience.

Idk what a livable wage is to you, but a single person making $35k or two adults making $70k is livable. Not long ago I made $35k and supported a significant other going to school full time. Things were tight but we made it by just fine for several years like that.

Bring a knife and scrape it off, we don't need tons of stickers at Busiek.

It's numbers, demographics, and market research.

Things get built in locations that meets those metrics. It would make money where you're talking, but obviously they've crunched their numbers and this is the location that makes sense. Otherwise they wouldn't have fought so damn hard.

My guess is that they're trying to cluster themselves near Starbucks in town. Starbucks also has big money to do all that research, then just copy what they do, while also using clustering.

Absolutely. Incredibly inappropriate, as a man you're conditioned to know the boundaries, and you do everything in your power to make sure nothing you do even SEEMS suspect.

I'll not assume the worst, at the least he needs to take some boring hours of HR mandated training until it's burned in his skull.

If it's anything like the long long ago.

You just show up, and start talking cars. Though doing that for 3-4 years does start to get really repetitive.

Yeah you're getting robbed, there's 3-4 other options that are all within the $15-$20/mo club.

Agreed, terrible metric, if anything living alone here is more based on a low cost of living. More people here likely don't NEED a roommate, partner, or spouse to share rent or a mortgage with to survive.

Also agreed on lonely here. Church is the social hub, but there is a big portion that don't go to church and don't do anything else.

Our neighborhood fb group had someone missed since 12/12 and they finally cancelled yesterday.

I'd second Queen City, never had a problem, no billing issues, never pickup issues. If I get it in the bin by 8am it'll be gone when I get home.

I think they're at $50/3mo now too? Can't complain.

Neither side here actually believes that any money will be made from the $750 fines.

That being said, the goal of one side is just to scoot the homeless away. Similar to how years ago people realized a bus ticket to Cleveland (or insert random city halfway across the country) was cheaper than providing services for homeless. It didn't solve the problems, just moved them away.

Similar to now the fine isn't going to solve anything, just get homeless people out of sight. Stupid yes, but unfortunately the people putting this policy in place aren't illogical, they'll likely get their desired outcome (not seeing as many homeless people) while doing nothing for society generally.

One of the most famous in recent memory is the Springfield Three.

The house is at 1717 E. Delmar Street

Another interesting point is the user has only 2 posts on Reddit and they're both here.

I'm less inclined to believe a completely anonymous account that has come out of no where with no background.

Not saying the company is good or bad, just that I don't know how credible the negative review is.

The important question that needs answering.

Same issue as the rest. Going 45 on Glenstone, get 50 feet away and realize someone in black clothes is walking across the road. Slam on the brakes because I can't really tell which direction they are going.

What the hell ... I'm not even surprised by pedestrians being hit and killed at night anymore with this happening to anyone who drives after dark.

Zayka has been my go-to for starting people. I thought I didn't like Indian for years until I had good Indian food.

Really good take and I'd agree.

I think Thai food, or at least Americanized Thai is popular here. Same with Americanized Chinese.

Vietnamese, Korean, and Indian hold a small niche.

I'm with you though, I like trying new food, tried Ethiopian in a restaurant everyone raved about and, I just couldn't get into it. From the bread to the meat it was just not the right flavor or texture for me.

That's a great point. I went to one that accepted my insurance and was cheaper. Suggested doing everything, fixing everything, etc.

Went to another after declining everything, this one now costs more, less is covered by insurance, but is a straight shooter. I ask "hey this spot on my tooth, that bad?", "Nah man it's fine for now, if it starts hurting or get worse we'll fix it but no worries for now!".

Doesn't look like it's for sale. Just a lot of office space open to lease.

Brad Pitt's going to be at the Whataburger opening?!

Oh man, I'm not in the manufacturing space. But that's something new I sure could get excited for.

Just being curious, what are some specific examples of specific light manufacturing for a laymen?

Honestly, I think we're about to see more of this. Especially with the "Basecamp of the Ozarks" branding we have established.

We're likely on the path to a mini NWA with their trials, however we need to solve our own branding so that it's unique to us.

While I don't disagree, there isn't just free money anywhere.

To do the level of support we need additional taxes, bond measures, or some avenue for additional revenue to earmark for these programs.

If you don't have billionaire money. Write your council person, state representative, and state senator. Seriously, it makes a difference. Don't use premade forms, write a letter or call their office directly. They truly love to hear from passionate and non crazy constituents.
