Here's one for you.

Don't worry we've got you

I used to believe that they were able to claim deductions on those donations, but it's not true. That money has to go directly to the charity. The person who donates can write it off, but not the store who collects the donation. Here is an article that you might find interesting: https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxvox/who-gets-tax-benefit-those-checkout-donations-0

“Would you like to donate $x to ?” I just politely reply “Not today, thanks” and move on. I’m sympathetic to the poor cashier who has to do that all day just to keep their job.

also not expecting that level of truth

Right?! OMG I almost choked on my super-sized American cola!! 😉😂😂🤣🤣

My awesome Partner *is* a nurse..... she can fulfill it all !

OR you just happen to be two houses down from someone shooting just for fun in his garden. There was a story a few days ago where a British tourist got shot like that. No thank you

"I feel threatened" BANG. That's apparently all they have to say regardless if they're in any threat or not. If they say they felt threatened they get away with murder.

I am American and have lived in Europe 30 years. I dont visit because too many random shootings. Killings.

Okey Dokey

That was funny!!

They are trying to outlaw body armor.

Neat. I carry a 10mm everywhere with solid lead bear rounds because bad guys have body armour too. And anyone that knows can see your armor 😉

I don't think there's much crime in my community, but the big city we live close to is one of the worst, especially the suburbs. We'll drive through with crime tape blocking off the areas within the range of the shot. It's pretty ugly and depressing.

I live in rural Montana and most violent crime here is domestic violence(kid killed his mom on Mother's Day)or drug related. Not that that's any better than mass shootings, etc with random victims. I hope your community is able to stay sane and safe.

Give it time and you will if nothing changes here.

No.It’s a hilarious joke.

Yes, it's a f*****g joke!!!!!

Um... it's only kind of a joke. There are states that have loosened laws regarding child labor recently. So they might end up back in the mines "for the economy's sake."

There are. They’re called republicans: https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/feb/11/us-child-labor-laws-violations

Come on, man.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders?

If you must question it, it worked great.

Check out Kanas' new child labor laws.

It is a joke, but no, it’s not a joke

You mean are already passing legislation on it? https://www.epi.org/publication/child-labor-laws-under-attack/

In this format it's supposed to be a joke. But if you're American you should also be aware it's true. Many states have dialed back child labor protections because rich people yacht money has been affected by the pandemic. So take it as you will...

It's happening. I don't recall which state, but they just reduced certain age requirements and extended working hours for others. 16+ can serve alcohol, 14-15 yo can work over night, etc.

2 parts to that answer. Yes it is a joke however, wayyy back in the day, children did indeed work in the mines.

Alas.

They are

This post is most definitely a joke however, please check out the Republican politicians back East who are absolutely advocating for child labor again.

Lighten up it is a JOKE

*In comentator voice* And the joke is off. It flies higher, higher... OOOOHHHH and it flew so high over the head. Ladies and gentlemen, it is over! The joke just wooshed right over their head at record height.
