Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has introduced a bill that would ban members of Congress from trading and owning stocks, using the name of his legislation to take a jab at Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). Hawley on Tuesday introduced the Pelosi Act — or the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act — renewing a legislative push to curtail stock trading by lawmakers that has failed over the last few years.

I’m asking this group because I want an honest opinion. I’m looking for a care giver for my daughter and I’m setting up an interview with someone. This person asked to get paid. Is this a standard practice to pay someone to interview? I’ve never been paid for an interview, but haven’t been in the work force for a bit so maybe something changed. Thanks!

basically as the title states. I worked for a lady who owned a business 3 days a week and only worked 2 weeks before she fired me with no warning because I got sick (she was fucking insufferable!) She was paying me with checks and never gave me a agreement of employment or anything professional. Today 7 months later – she calls asking to get my social bc she has 1099 forms she’s filing. I DO NOT trust her because she’s disorganized. and i worked for a total of 6 days in june. will i get fined or in trouble if i don’t give it to her? i only made 600 total probably for those few days. any advice is appreciated. EDIT: I wanted to also ask – i read online if you don’t report the money the IRS will see that and delay your refund. I don’t want that…

I had brain surgery on dec 1 for chiari malformation and still have ongoing neurological issues. I also have a history of PTSD and anxiety and am covered in SH scars as well as a history of violent outbursts and breakdowns in the workplace (been abused by managers before). You guys think I'll get it?

I’m trying to parse what could solve the issues companies have with incentives and work. And it occurs to me that the only reason retail and service jobs stink is that they require very little experience, and they are very easy to come by because of high turnover. What do you think would happen if they pricing structure was re ordered to mean that the most menial jobs now have a higher pay scale, and being a CEO of the company maybe…. Now pays a few million less per year. Would that be fair? Are there other concerns? Curious about people’s thoughts.
