This will blow his mind = Benefits

Let me guess……you also get the following:

• You get a company pension plan or RRSP contribution plan with a company match (the company pays into a plan about 5-6% of your salary)
• You get dental and prescription drug coverage (80% - 100% depending on which option) not only for you but for the wife and kids too.
• You get annual coverage for new glasses, RMT massages, braces.
• If it’s a blue collar or union job, you probably get safety shoes and safety equipment/clothing paid for as well.
• You may even have an allowance for health and well-being such as reimbursement for new running shoes
• Maybe they will also pay up to a specific amount a year (e.g $2,500-3,000) for training courses
• At major work anniversaries you get special company gifts too
• You also get 6 weeks or more a year of paid time off (PTO)
• You get free company parking too

Yes your bang on Hornet I get all of that I got so much vacation time and floaters left I can basically take the rest of the year off , I get $480 for safety shoes maybe I'll sell jimmyd a pair since he thinks I can't afford the rub n tugs lol

Vaccinated people may play key role in aiding evolution of more dangerous COVID variants, study says - LifeSite

According to research published last week in Scientific Reports, the highest risk for establishing a vaccine-resistant virus strain occurs when a large fraction of the population has already been vaccinated but the transmission is not controlled.

It actually is good with great benefits my dad worked there for 37 years, never said I was looking for bargains like u, we know all know u can't afford a free meal lol

You’re in this forum for value, otherwise you’d be seeing $1000 girls. You’re not fooling anyone.

And a job that you have to be at for 37 years, isn’t that great.

He failed math and wouldn’t have a clue as to what “benefits” are. He doesn’t realize most people start working in their early 20s and work to 60-65 and sometimes longer especially since life expectancy has been increasing before Covid. People work close to 40 years before retirement.

Most good jobs you can retire at 25 or 30 years served.

It’s not terrible, I guess.

How do safety shoes benefit someone who doesn’t need them for their job?

You’re forgetting one thing. You’re listing off all these things as if none of us have them, or even more. So laughable.

Working for $60-100k so you can get a free massage? Seems so worth it.

It’s simple Economics, not Politics. Maybe you should have actually studied in High School.

Said the guy that doesn’t care about spending 40% for something. No economics professor would tell you that’s ok.

The economy is better which means people are driving more with increases demand and increases gas prices. All Economics professors would say we are better off now than months ago and gas prices are a reflection of that.

Are we talking about jobs that people love or ROI?

There you go changing the subject again…

Maybe…but any good economics professor would condemn anyone not caring about arbitrarily spending more for anything.

We’ll have to rule out purchasing as your job, you’d get destroyed.

I’m not changing the subject dumbass. You called a 37 year job as one that is not great. I countered that with when people love their job it is great because it isn’t even work.

A smart person would recognize that. Next time, go find one to explain it to you.

Smart purchasing people separate out fuel and freight costs to pass those up the supply chain to the end customer. When gas prices rose in the mid 2000s, many companies adopted fuel surcharges and passed the costs to their clients. For companies with large fuel demands, they entered into futures contracts to lock in purchased prices to avoid volatile fluctuations in prices.

But if gas is a conscious purchasing decision based on a system, why are you even complaining as you could avoid the higher gas prices by not buying gas or you could have purchased and stored gas at the lower prices. But since arbitrary means random, and without a system, then how can someone even condemn anyone for the random results of random actions in and environment lacking a system. It’s like an anal retentive arguing structure to someone who specializes in the study of chaos theory

Economists also recognize that human nature can drive irrational purchasing decisions so arbitrary decisions are part of a larger macroeconomic system. Since, the purchaser of the gas has to weigh the costs of the gas vs the benefits provided from the income obtained by going to work,they determined that the income is higher than the costs, it’s not an arbitrary decision after all

The Economist might first argue it makes no rational sense to go on a drive cross country, ride their motorcycle, go out on the boat or personal watercraft (jet skis) amd so for as there is no economic benefit. But that same Economist would then look at the pleasure and stress relief provided from those activities and compare them to potential lost productivity from mental health issues of not spending money to buy gas on activities to relieve that stress and realize paying more for gas might be very rational after all.

The Economist would recognize that the ice storm in Texas impact about 25% of domestic supplies and is still recovery from that pushing demand higher than supply driving prices higher. The Economist would recognize that OPEC countries have not increased production to lower prices to help them recover from the lower demand from the previous Covid waves. The Economist would recognize that the US has become energy self-sufficient (something Trump hyped repeatedly as being an exporter) and any attempt to influence OPEC countries to lower prices would be a reversal of that policy.

Ultimately, the Economist might say that if you don’t like higher gas prices, get an electric powered car, carpool, buy a scooter or take the damn bus/subway and stop crying like a baby.
