My first gaming console was N64 and I remember my parent's paid 700 USD for our 2 bedroom apartment in decent area.
Why fine? Why not outlaw it completely? Make it illegal and close all loopholes. No matter the industry, contact by employers during employees' off time should be illegal (this includes employees' lunch/break time). Of course, there are a small exception for on-call doctors, medical emergency staff, fire department, etc.
Excuse for layoff. What I hear from the article is a CEO, who himself is not a grown up, crying me, me, me, my company, my profit, selfish behavior without any concern for his employees who have largely contributed to his startup success.
Employer controlled union. That's oxymoron.
Drinking red wine from a wine glass as they were making a right turn (US) on a 40 mph street.
US has no shame, history proves it.
Not at this time, but if he were to create such damage that it impacts a generation and unanimously agreed as a villain then at that point the name Donald will be associated with him. Ex: the name Adolf is associated with Adolf Hitler.
Whether he runs again is not the right question. The council for national policy, an extreme right organization, is behind trumpism, supreme court justices trump nominated, and project 2025 which has been around since Reagan era but with different names. They will choose a different candidate as their wrecking ball who is younger and as fiery, unethical, without principles and an "outsider" as trump represent. Whether it's JD Vance or someone else.
I bang my head of the keyboard so it's random.
It wasn't on purpose but glad it works even better
Spoken like a true capitalist. Work for free, kiss the boots of corporate execs, and maybe we'll throw you a none.

I'm a casual eBay user. On rare occasions, I will sell household items when I no longer use them. Well, I went to sell my Nintendo Switch on eBay and found out my account has been restricted indefinitely selling. When I tried chat with the customer service agent, they provided a name of some entity that I don't recognize in relation to my account for the reason for restriction, then refused to help me any further and simply disconnect. What kind of shity service is that? When I was provided an automated option to "appeal", it didn't work when i clicked on it. It didn't do anything. Same with other options. They don't have any other way to appeal on their website from what I can see. So caught off guard and annoyed.
First, I'm so sorry about you and your brother's upbringing. No child should have to go through this. You have made a miraculous life from the short hand you were dealt with.
As for your brother, he did not make the difficult life choices to get out of his childhood victimization. Unfortunately, he struggles if his own relationships and his violent and disruptive behavior towards those who care for him is a reflection of your parent's relationship.
Having said this, you, under no obligations, have to continue to help or reconnect with him. He needs psychological help, just as you have been receiving. The US criminal justice system, does not care about your brother's mental health. We all have to face our demons to get better. There is no way around it. You have tried to help your brother, your mother may have tried to help your brother abd in return, you both now fear for your self and you family. This is you signal to step away. If you don't, it may get worse. Step way and know that you tried. Step away and disconnect for your family's sake.
