    • @DoubleMrE
      @DoubleMrE Před 3 měsíci +4

      Not true. I’m an employer and at least in my state of Hawaii, I pay the entire amount of my workers health insurance premiums. By law, you can deduct a pittance of their wages, but it’s so little that most employers (like me) pay the whole thing. It’s not worth doing the paperwork to deduct it because it’s such a small percentage. BTW, we are also required by law to provide them with the insurance. To be clear, I don’t object to the law. It’s a cost of doing business and my workers need and deserve it.

      NYC employee here. The cost of my insurance is taken out of my wages pre-tax. I still have to pay the $3000 copay before everything is covered by insurance. The basic insurance is a little over $100 a paycheck. Dental and vision are each their own separate plans. Dental is roughly $20 a paycheck pre-tax and vision is roughly $5 a paycheck pre-tax. Honestly, if I could, I'd forgo my basic employer medical insurance entirely so I'd have the extra $200 a month. I barely even use it since the copay is so high. I'd have to be literally dying before I seek medical help. Of course, if I was dying, I'd have to go on FMLA, give my employer access to all my medical records and only be paid half my salary for a few months before they stop paying me any salary at all, by which point I guess I'll start selling my dying organs to keep up with the cost of living.
      Also, since the health insurance includes a mandatory flex spending account that my employer preloads with $300 a year, that also means that I can't use free tax prep, even though I make well under the minimum for NYC free tax prep services. Hooray!

    I worked at Papa John’s during the time his racial controversy went on and I remember we had both a wall and window poster with his face on it that had to be taken down and we had to turn the menus around. It was pretty funny they got him out of that restaurant so quick
    And yes knowing that he sold his car and bought it back was part of the training.
    Also even in 2016 the low flat rate per delivery was still going on. And one house could take 20-30 minutes one way to get to, yet of course those customers were the ones to complain that their food wasn’t there exactly 35 minutes after they sent the order in.. on a Friday night.. when the driver also had 3 more houses to go to before even getting to their far as fuck house.

    I delivered for Papa John's from 1999 to 2004. I was paid 75 cents above minimum wage and $1 per delivery (aka "run" ). The $1 "run fee" means that you receive one dollar for every house or business you deliver to. The number of pizzas the person ordered has nothing to do with the run fee. If I delivered one pizza to 123 Main Street and fifteen pizzas to 321 Broad Street, the run fee would be $2. At that time, I found that it more than covered the cost of gas. I also worked for Pizza Hut and Little Caesars during the same timeframe and they also paid $1/run, but I only made minimum wage. Between my hourly, tips, and run fees, I averaged about $20/hour, which I was quite happy with at that time.
    John Schnatter is a colossal piece of human refuse. I just wanted to explain the pay structure for delivery drivers at Papa John's.

While looking for the original John commissioned a replica of the car. The man who bought the origional car about five years earlier for $4,000, sold the Camaro back to John. The original buyers got $25,000 for helping to track it down.

      @madpolitico Před 2 měsíci +1

      Basically what CarFax and similar companies do, find the history of a car through its VIN, just without giving details on the prior owners like names or addresses. But I remember my sister getting a car and it showed that it used to be part of a corporate “fleet.” Which made it even weirder to find out it had a tuned up engine and lowered suspension (on a Ford Taurus!).
      And car owners can often get sentimentally attached to a car, especially something like a Corvette, so it makes sense to track down a classic like that. Which might not have passed through many hands despite the 25 years that passed, so you wouldn’t even necessarily need the VIN, just remember who you sold it to and go from there.

      depends on the state. some keep the personal info attached to cars behind certain barriers. oregon doesn't allow open direct access to that info, for example, and access to the system with it is fairly controlled. you can get super basic info about the car itself via a vin decoder online, but the registration info isn't 'public' facing/accessible. you can apply for access via the state police, but you generally need to be in certain businesses/have what the state deems to be 'just cause' for access to be granted. mainly because you wouldn't be accessing the dmv's system, you'd be doing it via OJIN, or the oregon justice information network.
      'because i want to know' isn't a valid reason.
      used to have access to a system that let me look that info up. the rules we had to follow were.. strict. no printing, no screencaps, everything had to be handwritten from the screen, no giving out login info to anyone at all, no letting anyone else access the system after you login, etc.
      and the DMV generally refuses any requests for info pertaining to vehicle registrations, and will direct anyone to the OSP, who will require a 'valid reason', as mentioned.
      some states, its fairly easy to get that info. i think, texas, cali, and a few others have it online, though i'm unsure if its just a free for all, or if its gated to authorized logins. much less strict than oregon, at any rate.

    Can you look up old cars by Registration.... YES.
    When I was working at a Motor vehicle training center, and needed to order some car parts, literally the first question the guy on the other end of the phone would ask is "What's the Reg number?", and after I told him this, he'd type it into his computer, and be able to tell me everything about the vehicle. I then tell him I need a new alternator, and he'd be able to offer me an exact replacement, either OEM or 3rd party.
    That truck went through about 3 alternators and 4 batteries before somebody figured out that the problem was actually with the alternator connector being corroded. I purchased the right connector from EBay and fitted it myself, and the next time anything was wrong with it was so bad, they needed to scrap it.

But I got hacked, then I lost a bunch of data, then I found more info, so it has been over a year. Don't know how much he would tie into all of it, because the cult is super complex. But the owner of Domino's original owner (allegedly) funded a lot of the worst of it, paid presidents to speak out to create anti- that pope republican arm to shit on the poor when the pope was saying maybe the rich could help. Used his rich person version to do it. And so much more, and it is purposely hard to find to uncover the web of it. But the cult includes the group they actually based the handmaids tale off of, and Amy Coney barrett's cult is intertwined. And all parties just hired shady people to handle the press of pedophiles in their ranks, allegedly. Except the rich person version. But he was closely intertwined with the one part of the one cult that has had a ton of pedos come to light. It's a very complicated mess, and a lot of people only speak anonymously, if at all.

      @@ComedorDelrico there kind of is one. I have been in touch with a writer for Simon, but how much the Domino's asshole would be featured is questionable. He plays a big part in some, but the cult is super complex. I got in contact over a year ago I think. But I had an inexplicable data loss of a bunch of important info. And then i found some people to talk to, but all of it is super complex, and most things are said, and most things that are written are kept offline. Some brave people who were in a position of power at one point started to upload. Connecting them is tough, there is literally hundreds of names of groups, how they do or don't use the catholic church to hide things, deep dives in religious newspapers with a lot of luck (picking the right name to search), and very few outside investigative journalists who wrote about religious extremism. It is daunting, and more and more people are opening up anonymously every day. Trying to properly portray what it was in the beginning vs now is tricky, you have millenials and gen z who grew up in it controlling the public face, and some old money and schools coming into play. As well as multiple other cult-y groups they grew out of. How they hide their crimes is unique as well. You have a lot of shaming and kicking people out, and even people who have been in it and then left have no idea what they were a part of. I have spent an insane amount of time looking for different pieces to make a full picture of it, and then another person very quietly speaks up. To keep the writer from being buried alive under all of the paperwork (new info I found has 250 pages in just one document), I am sorting it all and trying to find the most important parts, then present it in a way it makes sense.
      It is also exhausting because I relive religious trauma, have to go into the mindset I ran from, and you find out that people you knew were knowingly or unknowingly complicit in things that are tough. They also sometimes find a less abusive cult, so how info is presented has to be dropped into a lot of context. It's a rough ride. And most of what you find is denials of being connected to it, but 6 different groups came out confirming the Domino's dude, not to mention a lot of other activity. The people speaking for the first time are in therapy or still figuring out. And even the guy who did data dumps walked back stuff that I know to be true, but would not put it in writing, only say it to me in person. I have to tread carefully with everyone. People I have cried with due to trauma we shared have responded more recently (due to other aspects of how this works) said "oh we thought it was possible at the time, so we took precautions, but we don't actually know anything." Even when those things led to horrible tragedy and even loss. Everyone is scared. I just care about my life a little less than the rest.
