    So no prosecution of Clinton for emails and Trump now open to Climate Talks and believes man is contributing although he isn't sure how much just yet. I think in 4 yrs The Democrats will want to reelect Trump and Republicans will try to find a new candidate haha.

    they are top 2 in the country in polymer science/engineering, which is what I planned on doing. Then I took my first polymer engineering class and hated it, was so boring so stuck with chemical engineering and applied math.
    I was just busting your balls. I went there for a year. Not saying the education was bad, but it wasn't nearly as difficult as Grace (Gen Eds only, mind you).

    Shocking. A President-Elect is reneging on campaign promises. This NEVER happens.

    I mean, his point isn't necessarily off, though.

    Trump has never really been an outspoken champion of far-right conservatism ... at least prior to his campaign.

    And Clinton hasn't exactly been the least friendly ally to corporate America.

In order to graduate on time I was never less than 17 credits, and I averaged 19-21 each semester (plus took some summer classes).
    Ignore Classy. I had to average 21.5 hours per semester in undergrad. If anything, you only have email an academic advisor and tell them to lift your restriction, and you only have to do that once.

    Federal judge halts obama's destructive ovetime rule ---- Hallelujah, sing to Jesus!!

    Maybe we are finally going to start getting the federal government off the backs of manufacturers and all businesses, and begin to grow the economy again.

    Why did it take so long? This has been a disaster for businesses big and small. Companies have already paid to have people come in and see what the implications are, plus had meetings with employees to tell them their salaries may be going up, etc. They going to take the extra salary away now? Obama is a complete dip shit for this law (I get raising it, but from $24k to $47k was insane. On salary, you don't deserve overtime making more than $35k or so. Certainly not $45k).
  • QuakerOats
    Ridiculous rule; same with absolutely insane silica rule - hopefully that is next to get whacked.

    Congress needs to rein in these federal agencies, for good!

    Lol the raises went into effect this week at my hospital. We'll see if they rescind them now.

    My company has already made all of the changes to comply as well. No turning back now, I'd say almost every company has already made the changes necessary or have told their employees what they're going to do. Would look bad now to just go back on it so I'm sure we're just going to go with it.

    Sure, but I'm just going off CC's refusal to even try for proper grammar combined with his inability to type a simple sentence without fucking up half of it.

    Oh I agree that Gen Eds at Akron U were a joke. I never studied for a single Gen Ed class and got an A in all of them.

    STEM classes at Akron U though are tough.

    Our company only told people they may have to swipe in an out but didn't tell anyone about any increases. HR dropped the ball telling anyone prior to December 1st about raises. Even if this judge didn't rescind it, odds are the republicans would have.

    Well hell, I can't disagree with that really.

    I had one good one (though I heard my professor was far better than the other which taught the same class): Western Humanities. I don't recall my professor's name, but his ability to engage classical writings in the western tradition with students made the class enjoyable. I actually looked forward to that class.

    The rest ... meh. I had all my math homework for the semester done by the third class (I just did it in class while the professor talked), and I think I attended three and a half classes of World Civ, and still managed an A-. My geology professor never buttoned his shirt above half-way, and had a damn jungle growing out of his chest; the man also taught barefoot and sounded like Bullwinkle. The whole lot of the rest of the classes were pretty much ridiculous.

    Real hope.


    Something to be thankful for, indeed.

    Just to note, we should change the "Thanks, Obama" once Trump settles in.

    This is a political football. The Labor Dept could appeal the injunction. This could drag on and end up in Mr. Trump's lap eventually. Will he abandoned the working class he has vowed to help or will he take the stand that the working class is help by loosening the reigns on small businesses.

    I'm pretty sure I read the overtime rule was one of the items he already wanted to overturn immediately, so no, doesn't seem a tough decision at all. And it has nothing to do with abandoning the working class. Hourly people get overtime regardless. It is a salaried (exempt or non-exempt) employee issue. And like the article says, doubling it was the retard move. $30 or 35k would have been much more acceptable.

    Kissinger had a great take on this....Trump is unique....he comes to the presidency with no baggage...he doesn't owe anybody anything (least of all the Republican party).....not even his supporters who elected him because he was an outsider.
