In the US, it’s extremely rare to have a light switch outside if yhe room with the light. Usually there’s a lights witch and a couple sockets in the bathroom by the mirror.

Only other place I can think of off-hand is the local library for rentals. Half Price Books and thrift shops will have some for sale, but I’m not sure how much lower they may be from Amazon’s rental fee.

No, we don’t get letters in the mail about elections. The options are news, radio, or look it up yourself outside of social media. With streaming so popular, people don’t see near as many ads as they used to on their TV. That leaves social media as the biggest informer of upcoming elections and to hear about issues.

Read up on Genie Plus, they now have a system where you can get a virtual queue starting at 7 AM on the app that will give you a time window to join a ride (kinda like Fast Pass). Then you have to wait a certain amount of time to join another virtual queue. Some rides, like Tron and Guardians of the Galaxy, are virtual queue only. There is also Lighning Lane, that costs around $16 and let’s you basically skip the line.

I think there’s even a way to link everyone’s accounts together so that you can select the virtual queue or lightning lane for everyone. You definitely can link accounts, so that all your pictures are pushed to everyone’s account. If a picture doesn’t show up from a ride, you can tell them the date, time, and a description of people in the group and they can normally find you and send the pictures into your Disney experience app I hope y’all have a great trip!

Yes, Star Tours has changed. A friend rode it back to back like 6 times and only repeated a couple scenes. The ride has multiple scenes to choose from the prequels, OT, and sequels and it’s all randomized.

Unfortunately, Honey I shrunk the kids is no more and I heard that they are getting rid of A Bugs Life (although that might just be a retheme)retirement.

The Star Tours ride moves around while you’re in it and the Avatar ride moves and puffs smells while you fly on the back of the flying dragon animals, but I think that’s the closest experience to 4D now.

FreeTaxUSA is one of the sites listed.

I’ve also used Tax Hawk for a few years and it’s been free.

I wasn’t aware that their site was promoting Intuit software.

They have had a list of websites that will file at least federal taxes for free. Some have free state returns as well, however, your Adjusted Gross Income must be less than $79,000.

If you watch the video, one of the union members is at the Council meeting speaking to the City Council and another union member walks up to him to inform him that they were laid off with immediate effect. The workers both seemed genuinely surprised that they were laid off.

That’s exactly what I said before.

I also said that servers earn $2.13/hour at a minimum, as your link shows. I then acknowledged your point that the majority of servers don’t earn $2.13 from their restaurant and adjusted my statement according to the data that you linked.

I don’t understand where the disconnect is for you. Servers, except in very rare pay period make enough earnings/hour to prevent the restaurant to need to pay them more. Thus, servers in the vast majority of states earn less than federal minimum wage and mamy less than $5/hour from their restaurant. Please note that the customer is not part of the restaurant.

So my original point still stands. If restaurants were required to pay $15/hour, restaurants would have to increase their pay up to 7 times the current wage. This increase in labor cost would necessitate a menu price increase given the low profit margin that restaurants run at. Sure they have some money set aside for the rare pay period in which a server makes less than minimum wage after tips, but it wouldn’t be enough to cover such an increase for every server during every shift.

23 states with wage at $3/hour or under, 26 states under $4/hour, 29 states under $5/hour, and 38 states with untipped wage less than federal minimum wage ($7.25).

It seems that more than half of the states make up to ~$1.50 more than federal minimum of $2.13 and the vast majority still make less than federal minimum wage. I’m glad that there are 10 states in which servers can make double digit wages before tips, but there are by no means the majority.

The point remains that the majority of servers survive on tips because they are paid so little.

That’s not really relevant. My reply was in response to statement that food shouldn’t be more expensive to the consumer with tipping removed. Obviously the revenue for the servers to be paid has to come from somewhere, so it’s either coming from the price of food or tips. If we get rid of tipping, the restaurant will have to raise prices to cover that cost.

Huge chains could more easily pay a better wage than family-owned restaurants.

Currently servers are currently paid minimum $2.13/hour. If they don’t make enough after tips to equal minimum wage over a pay period ($7.25/hour), then the restaurant is required to pay them up to that minimum wage.

Labor costs for servers, bartenders, and others caught in this legal loophole would have to increase by 7-fold to get up to $15/hour. Many restaurants and bars wouldn’t be able to afford that large of an increase without raising prices, given that many have a profit margin between 3-6% per several sources.

There have been some restaurants that have raised wages closer to $15/hour with varying success, but that hasn’t caught on widely yet.

This one is really nice. Ours weren’t ever that fancy.

Check out Tax Hawk, it might be a good option for you this year

Tax Hawk is another software that offers free federal filing.

Sales tax, property tax, lottery also

We learned in D.A.R.E. that X is bad for you. Seems like X in its digital form is also bad for you and for its dealer.
