Voting pro-worker: third parties and the Electoral College

Without addressing the pros or cons of lesser-of-two-evils voting, I'd like to point out that if you vote in a solidly red or solidly blue state, your presidential vote might as well be for the best candidate – because your vote won't change how your state's electoral votes are allocated. One place to check is https://www.realclearpolling.com/latest-polls/president/general-election. If your state isn't there, it probably means RCP reckons the winner of your state is a given – but by all means Google to verify. EDIT: Or check https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/ – state filter at the bottom of the page on mobile.

I JUST READ MY NEW COLLEAGUE TALKING SH!T ABOUT ME IN A PRIVATE CHAT WITH ANOTHER COLLEAGUE.

So this happened a few minutes ago and I literally have no Idea what to do about it. I (24M) started this new job last week with another newbie (24F) and we are currently undergoing training. So the newbie and our trainer (30+F) have become really good friends since they are from the same country and they’ve been chatting in private messages. This morning I come to work and the newbie left her laptop open and I could see chats about the trainer talking shit about me to her and saying she can’t wait for the training to be done so I can move to another department. How I am bothering them and how annoying I am. I’ve been nothing but nice and polite to these ladies and I genuinely don’t know how to go about this. Could you please advise ? Thank you.

Tips for Layoff

Lay off If you have NOTbeen given a payoff notice but you don’t trust your company 1. Check the warn notices in your state Google warn “your state” . 2. Check the SEC security and exchange commission website for new aqustions . 3. If you don’t find any information but still don’t trust them save as much money as you can. Get on a budget and know where your money is going and see what you can save. 4. If you take any kinds of meds go to the pharmacy and request a vacation or lost/ stolen override to get your prescriptions filled , they may have to get permission from the insurance company but that way you have meds for a moment. The my will charge a copay 5. Take the time to understand and research your health coverage options after employment. Get your check ups done. Before you…

How long after submitting invoice does my employed have to pay?

Im getting real fucking annoyed. I do contract work for a company based in DC, and my boss got married randomly to a Russian girl who he met in March of this year and is half his age, and now he’s behind on everything. Clients are getting mad bc he’s so unresponsive, and I’m getting mad bc he hasn’t paid me. It’s only been like a week since I submitted my invoice, but I got shit to pay. Legally, how long does he have to pay me? Edit: I added the context about him getting married bc pre marriage he was on top of things, and now he’s annoying me with his inability to manage his personal and professional life.

My current coordinator tried to guilt-trip me into staying

Hey everyone, just needed to rant with people I know will understand haha I'm a ESL teacher here in Brazil, and have been since 2021. I got tired, is too much work without the proper recognition or even proper payment, so this year I started looking for new jobs. Thursday I got an interview and in the same day got the job to be a Bilingual Receptionist. This job would be registered, whereas at my current job I work as a SP. Because of this, the money I get from teaching now is less than I would get from this new job, so I scheduled a meeting with my coordinator on Friday (following day as I got selected for the receptionist job) to tell her I would be leaving. When I told her that next week would be my last week with them, she got shocked and tried to talk…
