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…

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.…
