So it turns out that if I worked, like, ten fewer hours a week and so had time to prepare meals instead of buying easy to make things, I would wind up with about $100 more a week than I have by working full time but not having time to make decent meals, plus I would be better fed. Looks like work might be entirely happy to accommodate that.

That sounds like a win/win/win scenario.  Hot damn.
I'm jealous and that is a way of making working less affordable that i hadn't considered.
Thinking commences.
Not that i will be allowed to work less.

Yeah, am running budgets and hunting for a downside, but it's looking increasingly viable, which would be amazing.

To be fair, I've spent more than my fair share of time automating other people's jobs.

No, I was thinking something more local as a sacrifice.

Oh.  Well then, in that case...how about whoever currently leads the Tennessee Senate?

Volkswagen, who has a huge factory in the state - and I swear I'm not making this up - was supporting an effort for the workers there to unionize, as, of course, Germany has a long tradition of fairly strong unions and what might be called cooperative capitalism.

The Tennessee legislature, in response exploded.  Grover Norquist and the Koch brothers and all the rest got involved, declaring Volkswagen didn't understand its own rational self-interest and threatening all manner of doom against the company and its workers.

As a result of this extortion and harassment, factory workers have decided not to unionize.

You can't have one bad apple ruining it for all the other companies, of course.

It's a good idea, and I may do it tomorrow.  However, I am not feeling terribly political today, so when the confined space entry is over today, I'm going to write the horrible fucking truth about Junkenstein.

I look forward to it. I'll return the favour later when I've stopped sniggering at the latest idiocy here.

Well, in about a half hour we have to go into a tank and confirm my suspicions.  This will make my boss a sad panda.

When I get done with that, well...

A tank or a tank?  Because one of those would be awesome, whereas the other...not so much.
