Musk: American workers are lazy. Chinese workers are awesome.
This model, to me, gives the most flexibility to the employee. It is in their best interest to stay productive and efficient since they are either rewarded with less work hours or more income. It's not the answer for all, or even most vocations, but for manufacturing it could be a real boost to "made in the USA". CHIEF

Wife tries to frame husband by taking screenshots of child pornography

Musk: American workers are lazy. Chinese workers are awesome.
I had a friend, that had a philosophy that people should be paid by the widget, and not hourly. If you could get your 100 widgets completed in 4 hours, that's how much you worked. If it took you 10 hours, that's how much you worked, or you were paid only for the widgets you completed in an 8 hour typical work day. The objective was that employees, not employers, would be the one that determined their hourly rate, and that workers would strive to become more efficient to work less hours, or work longer hours to produce more widgets.

Alabama slamma no more
Being a homely 56 year old widow, with no children, has to do a number on her mental health. I'm not sure how long her late husband has been deceased, but it was probably the last time anyone made her feel desirable. Shit like this is getting less rare, and it's only going to get worse as many women are choosing careers over marriage and children. Gonna be a lot of 40-60 year old women being taken advantage of, since it has been decades since anyone has had a romantic interest in them. Living around a lot of retirees I see it happen from time to time. Desperation, from the lack of a romantic relationship knows no bounds, especially from those that need them. This gal needs a mental eval, and the prosecution needs to take that into consideration. The only bodily harm that has occurred, since the escape, is her self-inflicted gunshot wound/attempted suicide. She has followed a sad path, but for obvious reasons. CHIEF

Holy shit. Kids throw rocks at cars. Woman says stop. Gets beat up. Man just films.
I would have asked Mrs. CHIEF to take care of it, and gave the kids 10 minutes to draw a crowd. She is mean as a snake, and strong as an ox for a regular sized gal. I already asked her what she would do, and I knew the answer, "grab the outside ears and slam heads together hard enough to crack skulls." Legal trouble? Yeah, probably. CHIEF

LOL, how did that work out for them? I guess enough time has passed for them to get another banana in the tailpipe. CHIEF

Do you FIRE? Financial Independence, Retire Early
She is a tail twister. She deals with every department's "fuck ups" even before it gets to executive level. She has saved them dozens of clients, millions of dollars, and tons of embarrassment. When a vendor gets slow paid, they call her. She pays them immediately with her company Amex, then rattles the accounting department's cage. A building doesn't show up on time, she is on the field superintendent's ass. Human resources issues, she fixes them, phone issues, she fixes them, sales issues, she fixes them, delinquent accounts, she fixes them, logistic issues, she fixes them. The list goes on. She knows how to do every job in the company, what is expected of those employees, and knows where the problem lies. The CEO, and COO don't even know that. Now the niece on the other hand, might have to get a little bit more "dirty" to get the same treatment. Sorry to brag on her so much, but she is no nonsense, and gets shit done. I am very proud of her, and what she has become. When I married her, she didn't get a raise one year, while working at the State due to tardiness, she was mad. She was only 21, but I told her I agreed with her boss. Get the fuck to work on time. That changed her, she was never late again. CHIEF

Do you FIRE? Financial Independence, Retire Early
Mrs. CHIEF was the third person hired at her company. It was because she went above and beyond for those executives at her previous company. She wore many hats, and takes pride in her companies success. She was a peon at the first company, hired as the head account assistant at the new company, and now is the executive assistant to the CEO, and head of the CIS department. She is the "eye of the hourglass." There is nothing that goes through that company that she doesn't have a hand in. So doing favors is definitely a two way street. She is basically entrenched so far, that she can't be fired easily. She isn't a morning person, so no one contacts her before 9 am, she can take off anytime she wants, and for as long as she wants, with pay. Hair appointments, long lunches, mani/pedi, doctors, etc. I'm FIRE, but do real estate 2-10 hours a week, but she chooses not to be, and with the setup she has at work, why would she want to. I agree that the companies that take a "you're just lucky to be here" attitude are gonna loose out. But an employee that is willing to do what it takes to help their company succeed will be rewarded. She went from $12/hr., a HUGE decrease from her State job in Austin, to over six figures. But, she went from a cog to a very vital, and integral part of "her" company, as she calls it. She feels she has ownership, participates in profit bonuses, makes important decisions, guides company policy. Success in employment, is like success in the rest of your life, you get what you put into it. CHIEF

Русский корабль - иди нахуй
No, Willie Mae. Her father thought she was going to be a boy, but surprise. They were the previous owners of the big dairy that my cousin now owns. During WWII, she had German POWs that did the milking while she went, each night, to wire B-24s at Convair in Ft. Worth. She and my great-grandfather actually sponsored some Ukrainians in the 1950's. They came over and worked for them for about three years, then, they were granted US citizenship. A majority of that family now lives in Salt Lake City. CHIEF

Austin Nostalgia Picture Thread
The Roman Orgy at The Magic Time Machine was my first memory of Austin. Went to it the same day I saw Ralph the swimming pig at Aquarena Springs. Moved to Austin in 1991 and left in 2006. Pearl's Oyster Bar with 10 cent shrimp and 25 cent oysters was still a thing. First time Mrs. CHIEF and I went to Cancun, we flew out of Mueller. I feel old. The HEB at 620/183 was about where the Total Wine is at this time. 620/183 was a four way stop, even 6-7 years after we were married. CHIEF

Latitude Margaritaville - Jimmy Buffett-inspired 55+ Community Coming to Austin/Dallas/Houston
They really need to open up a nursing home/hospice care facility at their locations, and actually call it "Wastin' Away Again in Margaritaville". You know some of the community members would find it humorous and ironic, and like to stay close to the friends they made. Medicare could pay for their Margaritas and Delta-8 vapes. CHIEF

Maybe this is why there is so much CC fraud, Chase thinks its totally cool a single CC just added SEVENTY authorized users to it
The only black mark on my credit right now, is a $6600ish Chase card I never received a bill for. They won't tell me what was charged, or where, so I told them to pound sand. It happened in the last year, and I have not applied for a credit card in over two years. CHIEF
