Are you actually against working eight hours, or just work in general? Is two hours fine, but eight is too much?

Jessica Gonzalez said:Yeah, security gigs are honestly just a grind; the working conditions can be pretty rough. I guess you have to wonder who actually runs toward those jobs?

Nobody’s running to help anyone working retail, honestly... if anything, nobody gives a single damn. ☕

It’ll be two, but specifically in the morning, since he mentioned earlier that working until 2 PM on Sunday is fine, which means the games are kicking off at 11 AM.

Does a commentator not have the right to just stay home on a Sunday with his kids?

Let's just keep making everything sound trivial👍

I'm looking for an explanation here, because I'm just not following.

Do you honestly think a commentator based at Madison Square Garden in Washington, D.C. is going to just teleport to Miami?

Or maybe you think that same commentator doesn't have to show up at the office on Monday?

Maybe we should just go ahead and write it into the federal law that commentators and security guards are legally required to hit on the cashiers at the grocery store🤷

I don't see why the government needs to meddle with private businesses when they can manage themselves. Honestly, after they've already squeezed them dry with all those taxes, they still want to step in and dictate what they can or can't do on a Sunday.

Man, wiredrider9, you could've totally scored with someone working at City Hall instead of just some cashier, I don't know what you were thinking

You could've been rolling with a local government worker and basically living large on her lunch money every single day

It’s just one of those things, you know? When you're young, you're out here chasing after the high-powered officials, but once you get a little older, you realize you probably should've just settled down with the girl behind the register😂

Amen

So, I’m sitting here reading this, and apparently they’ve banned shops from opening on Sundays just to try and keep people from moving around too much. But then you look at the churches—they’re staying open on Sundays, right? Doesn't that basically encourage the exact same kind of mobility they're trying to stop?
Look, I’m not out here trying to bash priests or anything, that’s pretty obvious, but the task force is honestly just making fools out of us at this point.

It won't be long before everyone starts absolutely tearing them apart, and honestly, you can already see it coming on the horizon.

Are you trying to suggest that the clergy has some kind of special privileged status here in the States? ☕

Sure, you can tell customers to drop by the stores during the week, but you can't exactly tell pro athletes to go play mid-week, because—well, it hits their bottom line and their whole business model.

(And let's be real, if the cashiers and servers had their own VIP sections, they probably wouldn't be complaining either.)

Besides, it's the same deal with commentators as it is with security guards; if things are bad for them, then I guess everything has to be miserable for everyone else, even the cashiers. Heaven forbid someone actually rebels or complains about current conditions and starts demanding the same treatment.

I don't see how much "mobility" is actually being caused by individual mice or traders. It’s the gatherings that create the movement, and honestly, that's driven more by the mice than the traders since they aren't all stepping forward one by one. But mobility? What a joke.

Honestly, if you think the media has some kind of special VIP pass when it comes to the church, you’re totally dreaming, because from where I'm sitting, most of the big news outlets out there are either absolute garbage or just straight-up mocking anything even remotely related to faith.

This is all just pre-emptive political maneuvering from the ADEA crowd, honestly; they’re probably just out there trying to score some easy points with the faithful.

It all really depends on which news outlets you choose to follow 🤷

So, you actually spend time reading the Council Voice? 😂

Oh, come on—just name them. Seriously. Like, 90% of those outlets basically live to troll and tear down anything to do with the Catholic Church.
