Currently waiting on being cleared on my background check and drug test. Not worried at all. I don’t indulge. But I’m curious…. Could I call the clinic and ask for my drug test results?

Hi all. I’m looking for something new to try. I’m 21 and I’ve been doing plumbing for a year or so and I’m just not interested in it at all. Any suggestions or ideas of something I can get into when I’m young?
Why can’t we all just make gofundme accounts to pay off our debts? Like…one person makes an account and says I have x debt, let’s say $10,000, and 10,000 people from this sub give $1. That persons debt is gone and should now have some expendable income (hopefully) to help the next person in line. Shower. Rinse. Repeat. Until we clear everyone’s debt. I mean I’m sure there are people who can’t share $1 quite yet, but those who can would be able to help them out right? I know realistically this isn’t feasible and doesn’t solve any of the problems our country is having at a higher level, but if we free people from debt that’s one step closer to making things equal for everyone.

Question about NYS sick leave/laws
Because my job offers no benefits and pays below living wage, we've lost all our good staff over the years. Now we're running or barely running with bare minimum staff. We only have a handful of full time staff. The rest of our help is college and high school students. Most people are scheduled over ten hour days. Because the employers are anti-over time, they are well known for making workers take 1 to 2 hour lunches, sending people home well before their shift ends or my personal favorite – making someone leave at 10am and making them come back at 4pm to work until 530. For reference, this is a daycare. So the student to teacher ratio is important. They frequently deny people's requests to call in sick. Last week someone was throwing up at work but they made her work the full shift so they could send other…

should I report an issue to the EPA?
My company does work with hydraulic systems sometimes and we store waste oil in 55 gallon drums outside in a gravel lot. They leak and have a bunch of hydraulic oil all over the ground. My boss is aware of this issue but doesn't really see any urgency to fix it. They haven't been great with raises rhe past 3 years despite bragging about how well we've been doing. Is it a bad idea to report this to the epa? There are bodies of water nearby that may be getting runoff
I recently finished reading a book that came out Oct. 2022, Hahnel's “A Participatory Economy.” In it, the author makes a keen argument for the failures of the market based economies, and proposes a radical alternative to both market based economies and Soviet style centrally planned economies. To summarize, the proposal was that we have Consumer Councils on neighborhood, city, county, region and national levels (with representative democracy as we get less local) that we participate in. The consumer councils determine (mostly by surveys, requests and inquiries and data on consumption in years past) what goods and services the citizens wish for the economy to produce that they can consume them, and Worker Councils (organizations of workers who have great degrees of autonomy on their own workplaces) make proposals about how they can fulfill those needs and what publicly owned goods (like printing presses or cement trucks) they're requesting to…

hostile/toxic work environment
If you quit a job due to a toxic/hostile employer, how do you explain why you left to your next employer in an interview? Honesty or make something up?
