    Not illegal, as in you've actually gone through this with a lawyer, or not illegal, as in your company does it anyway?

    Because Federally, being salaried does not work like you describe: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/17g-overtime-salary

    Working less hours in a day is not valid reason to deduct pay. Working less full days is. (From the source above)

    State law does not trump federal law, unless explicitly called out. It's just that federal law is actually pretty lax regarding most things and states are more restrictive.

    Or they do it anyway and hope they just won't get caught.

    And even if they do get caught, the likely punishment is just paying out the wages they owe, so why not chance it? Fines don't scale based on revenue, profit, or even damages, if there even are fines.

    You cannot be salaried and deducted hours you don't work.

    Either you are hourly, and paid for the hours you actually work, or you're salaried, and paid regardless of how many hours you work.

    What your employer is doing is illegal, and wage theft.

    but yes it addresses his point.

    No, it doesn't.

    His entire point is that subway trains have a lot of doors, leading to a lower seat/door ratio. Your response doesn't at all address that this ratio would change, or the actual repercussions of changing it.

    In other words, you don't know what you're talking about, but you're acting like you do.

    You’re very adversarial for some reason so ciao.

    I am matter-of-factly telling you that you're not making a relevant point. If that's "adversarial" to you, then you need to get your detector calibrated.

    That scenario is assuming it's not packed, and that there is only one person trying to do it.

    Which is exactly why you didn't address anything he said, and why this still doesn't.

    A teaspoon of something?

    ...a teaspoon is literally a defined measurement of volume tho https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teaspoon

    For cooking purposes and dosing of medicine, a teaspoonful is defined as 5 mL (0.18 imp fl oz; 0.17 US fl oz), and standard measuring spoons are used.[3]

    We have not let in 2 million immigrants in total in any year, let alone just indian ones. Maybe fact-check your stuff before spouting it off?

    And no, immigration did not grow by 4x compared to last year. That's absurd.

    If they’re so harmless, then why do you care if a very small portion of the electorate votes for them? After all it won’t make a dent, right? :)

    I didn't claim that anywhere.

    To me it looks like you have a dysfunctional system.

    The US does, so the looks are correct.

    Because people are clearly unhappy with the democratic party, so there’s obviously a market for it.

    There isn't though. No third party has ever won the presidency.

    In Congress, there has never been even 1% of them being third party. Same with the senate.

    Where exactly is the market, and why is it not at all reflected in any part of the elected government?

    Is it perhaps because it doesn't exist?

    I think it was less overt racism, but still pretty racist.

    But mostly because Classism and Racism were pretty intertwined back in the day, what with non-white people essentially being entirely disallowed from actually being a higher class.

    If I wanted good hardware I'd build a PC. Which I did.

    If I wanted good games, I'd build a PC, buy a switch, and sail the seas for anything those can't run natively that I actually want to play. Which I did.

  • The name of the brand and car was stamped onto the side, in front of the driver's door, in that stamped metal lettering. It was some cursive font. I don't exactly remember what it said, and I already tried searching on my own, but I think it said corvette c2 or something like that. I may be misremembering entirely, but it was definitely <brand><letter><number> It had 6 rear red taillights, rectangular in shape, oriented vertically, in 2 groups of 3 on each side of the car. Like -> ||| ||| The car was red (I realize this likely doesn't help, but it's here anyway), with a spoiler. It was either a convertible, or had no roof at all. The brand logo at the front of the car was not standing up on an ornament. When I tried searching, I just couldn't find the taillight orientation at all, let alone the right car :D It was fairly boxy and angular, which makes me think it's a bit older. If there's any other details that might be helpful, ask and I might remember.
