Thank you! Especially appreciate the commentary below the wiki article - otherwise I’m not sure I would know who’s “winning” or “losing” in that mess.

Even if no one wins, sounds like he won by not playing.

Wait I don’t follow this stuff - what’s the tea on this?

That’s too bad, I’d love to see some “money lenders in the temple” action personally

Rand Paul’s neighbor punched him in the face and apparently that was okay, too.

Unfortunately, not quite…

Rene Boucher, 58, was charged on Friday with assaulting a member of Congress, a felony, months after his sneak attack on Sen. Rand Paul in November, according to officials.

“Assaulting a member of Congress is an offense we take very seriously,” said Josh Minkler, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana. “Those who choose to commit such an act will be held accountable.”

Officials said Boucher signed a plea agreement, but no date or sentencing has been set. He faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine up to $250,000.

I think the reason that they’re cracking down on this is to avoid potential overtime payments

… But what on earth does that have to do with what the person NOT working does with their day? If all they care about is overtime, then the question would be “will either person switching shifts get overtime or violate labor laws like minimum shift separations due to the switch?”

The fact that they explicitly base decisions not on the shift taker - who is more likely to receive overtime pay - but the shift giver and what they are doing OUTSIDE of work says the decision has as little to do with work as whatever you’d miss a shift for.

Literally every shift place I’ve worked has had pretty much the same rules - if you find someone to cover without making it everyone else’s problem and there’s no overtime or labor violations, who gives a f***? Crazy enough, they determined that by 1. Looking at the work schedule and 2. Checking for potential overtime work, and not by asking for a copy of my non-work-related itinerary.

The No Name ice cream wafers are also the best around, and the cheapest to boot!

We were actually surprised that not only were they just as good at like ⅓ the price, they were WAY better.

You can get a giant pack of them for literally the price of a checkout line candy bar.
