Nationally it is estimated that workers are not paid at least $19 billion every year in overtime[14] and that in the US $40 billion to $60 billion in total are lost annually due to all forms of wage theft.[15] This compares to national annual losses of $340 million due to robbery, $4.1 billion due to burglary, $5.3 billion due to larceny, and $3.8 billion due to auto theft in 2012.[5]

In short: wage theft is many multiples of all other types of theft combined.

Obvious solution is obvious: Eat the corporate overlords.

Today in Japan, we're celebrating the emperor's birthday. Every bank and public office is closed. Meanwhile, millennials like me, we've got to hustle.

ok. ok. ok.

ok. ok. ok.

I am going to try to combine my love of G+ and my love of reading through the newly purchased eReader, which has Goodreads builtin.

I'm going to send invitational things to people on my gmail there.

Are YOU there?

Rewatched 9-5.

The boss isn't just a bouchie fuck. He's a class traitor, such that everything that occurs to him in the narrative is acceptable.

Don't be a class traitor. Help me if I am one.

We're trying to figure out effective tax rates on cars in arlington county.

We're trying to figure out effective tax rates on cars in arlington county.

Pulling from two websites, it is:
5% of the value over 20,000 plus 28% of 5% of the value between 3,000 and 20,000 plus 0% of the value under 3,000.

I can't find a calculator for it. The county doesn't seem to provide one.

Being me, I can figure that out. I can build a spreadsheet.

A $20,000 car an effective rate ~3%; a $10,000 car ~2.5%, and a $5,000 car right around 1.44%.

The average car-owner should not need to do this math.

I've aid it before: The average citizen should not need a spreadsheet to figure out there taxes.

Business, millionaires, etc? Sure. But not, like, 90% of us.
