John Maynard Keynes was an economist in the early 1920s who released a series of books about monetary policy and how governments operate under “fiat currencies”. (The Federal Reserve Note) This is a few paragraphs from one of his books. A Tract on Monetary Reform, chapter two 'Inflation as a Method of Taxation'. pg 43 “Let us suppose that there are in circulation 9,000,000 currency notes, and that they have altogether a value equivalent to $36,000,000 gold dollars. Suppose that the Government prints a further 3,000,000 notes, so that the amount of currency is now 12,000,000 notes; then, in accordance with the above theory, the 12,000,000 notes are still only equivalent to $36,000,000. In the first state of affairs, therefore, each note = $4, and in the second state of affairs each note = $3. Consequently, the 9,000,000 notes originally held by the public are now worth $27,000,000 instead of…

Hi everyone just wanted to offer some advice or encouragement. I am a massage therapist and esthetician. In my state (MA) there is a shortage of good ones. If either of those jobs appeal to you in any way I would encourage you to look into it and maybe get the education. I’ve been doing this since 2014 and I have gotten to the point where I work at a great spa and also have some freelance clients and clients from an in home massage app. I was actually totally freelance 2018-2021. Post pandemic lockdown has actually seen increased business. I do LOVE what I do and feel blessed so it’s not even really like work most of the time. I can make my own schedule at the spa and with private clients. I make anywhere from $75-$125+ an hour depending on whether it’s spa, app or private. I really…

About five months ago, my fiancé requested a Friday at the end of February off, since he is off on Saturday and Sunday. Now, when he first signed on, they warn people that they make work a Saturday in exchange for a weekday sometimes. This has never happened to him. At least until this week. This week he’s been informed that he works on Saturday for the rest of the month. That means he is being told to come in the weekend he requested off. They gave him the Thursday off that week but not the Saturday, and they say they can’t guarantee moving the schedule around because he used all his PTO going to the doctor. I’m so frustrated. It feels malicious on their end. It always seems like when you make plans to take a day off, your employer will find a way to shit on your plans.…

I work for an apartment complex (part time) that gets primarily students as their residents but is open to anyone. This building is in New York. I live on premise and every other week I have to be on call to answer our emergency phone call 24/7 or anytime the office is not open. These calls are usually for lock outs and noise complaints. I get paid minimum wage for 3 hours each night only and I must stay on premises while on call. I do not get paid past the 3 hours nightly and I must pay rent. ​ Is this legal? Am I supposed to be paid for the hours the office is not open (which is 14ish hours a day) or just get paid the 3 hours nightly. I tried looking it up but I cannot find my type of situation and not sure what regulations apply.…
