That's just salaried folks though. The vast majority of american workers are hourly or contractors. Per the Dept of Labor's own site:

The Wage and Hour Division is dedicated to protecting and enhancing the welfare of the nation’s workforce with a focus on low-wage, underserved workers. In fiscal year 2023, we successfully recovered over $274 million in back wages and damages for more than 163,000 workers nationwide.

Wage theft is when employers don't properly pay their employees and is a HUGE problem because it isn't always out of malevolence, it can be as simple as the time clock not properly computing overtime, etc.

If you don't think that $274 million is large amount, think about how the vast majority of these things never get reported to the authorities; that number should be higher.

This, I've known people who got knocks on their door by the FBI and SS for posting dumb shit they weren't serious about as a "joke." They take that shit seriously I guess only when its lone wolves that can't do as much damage and not people rich enough to fund a small army.

Animal services will seek felony animal cruelty charges upon submitting its findings to the Riverside county district attorney’s office, officials said.

Most important part left out of the description. Let's hope the charges stick.

^This. I can tell every time my pc updates by the fact that nothing ever works correctly anymore.

Literally just downloaded video drivers yesterday due to this, and I have the vast majority of auto updates turned off for windows.... Every update moves me closer to switching Os entirely.

 

A man taking his trash to an apartment dumpster was shot and killed after he slipped while walking and the gun he was carrying went off accidentally, according to San Antonio police.

This is the Satanic Temple, very different organization that only ever brings itself into the picture when Christians are trying to ram religion down people's throats.

If you're just trying to figure out if it's worth it, why not use the 1 month trial/ friends pass for the Microsoft games pass? It's on there and how I played it.

Idk about your state, but mine basically forces you to register for the selective services to even get a license/learner's permit

§ 46.2-221.1. Registration with Selective Service required for issuance of learner's permits, driver's licenses, commercial driver's licenses, and special identification cards to certain applicants.

A. Every male applicant for a learner's permit, driver's license, commercial driver's license, special identification card, or renewal of any such permit, license, or card who is less than twenty-six years old and is either a citizen of the United States or an immigrant shall, at the time of his application, be registered in compliance with the requirement of section 3 of the Military Selective Service Act, 50 U.S.C. § 3801 et seq

Because the military has shown how fond of them they are even when they are truly heroes aka Desmond Doss' story.....
