Canadian Officers Don’t Want to Serve in the U.S. Anymore (r/worldnews)

• tjtonerplus: 10 years ago, I never would have imagined this would happen.
• Sad_Polish_Guy29: Can’t blame them.
• Ntroepy: Why would a Canadian soldier want to serve in a country that’s constantly threatening to invade it?
  
  Might get a wee bit awkward, eh, if Trump starts invading while they’re still serving down there.

Employers Shift Rising Health Care Costs Onto Millions of Workers (r/Economics)

• Windows_10-Chan: The way the headline is framed is a little unusual to me, it almost implies that the healthcare premiums that companies provide to you is something that isn’t essentially part of your pay, and that by not “eating” the premium increase, they’re shirking their workers.
  
  But it’s all part of your compensation on your paystub, if they didn’t do this, then you’d expect lower raises next year.
  
  Basically just because the costs are obscured to you doesn’t mean they aren’t real. Everyone should be mad.
• zombiebabou: My last job paid 30% of premiums and I had to pay 70%. They were self insured with BCBS administering the plan. I have multiple health issues that require multiple specialists and costly prescriptions. This was before health insurance premiums skyrocketed in the past couple of years. It was a crap job with crap pay but because they offered an “affordable” insurance plan that was even worse I couldn’t qualify for a marketplace plan.
  
  Between taxes and insurance premiums I took home less than 40% of what I earned. Thankfully my kids were covered by medicaid so I was only paying for my own insurance. I had to ration my Healthcare and prescriptions so I could feed my kids and I didn’t qualify for any public assistance other than medicaid for my kids.
• dallasalice88: As a person with ACA coverage that constantly hears “just get a job with benefits” every time I post about rising premium cost….
  Sorry. But not really sorry.
  Maybe if EVERYONE starts feeling the pain we will make progress towards a fair and affordable system.
  Many of my employer covered friends are starting to feel it. Especially when adding dependants to their plans.

In 2007/09 financial crisis S&P 500 went down 57% and it took 5 and a half years to recover back. (r/investing)

• WickWolfTiger: I am just dca’ing. Stable job. Extra cash on hand to survive a bit. I’ll be chilling
• Adventurous_Raise784: I won’t be prepared I’ll keep buying. If the S&P is cut in half the chances the international market is much better is low anyways
• jrothca: If you stop investing it takes / took “5-1/2 years to recover”.
  
  But there’s a secret that doomers always seem to neglect / omit from these discussions. If you keep buying through the crisis, you are basically getting everything on sale. We are talking buy one get one free type sales. And it doesn’t actually take “5-1/2” years to recover when you account for the sale price you loaded up on during the downturn.

What is a corporate phrase that immediately translates to “we are going to exploit you”? (r/AskReddit)

• Some_Belgian_Guy: We’re a family.
• West-Forever8365: “We work hard, play hard” is a classic. It means you’ll do unendless unpaid overtime, but as a compensation you get to spend 2 unpaid hours a week at a cheap restaurant listening to the boss self-fellating about how great a job he’s doing. And, oh, they have a foosball or ping pong table in the other room. Just don’t use it, because it’s in direct line of sight to HR.
  
  Thankfully it’s MOSTLY a dead trope these days, but trust me, it still exists. Maybe not always in the exact same words, but it never really dies. Kinda like Dracula.
• icebergers3: aussie here, “bring your own PPE” - any place or job that says this is a massive red flag imo.

What’s a subtle sign that someone was in the military? (r/AskReddit)

• Suspicious-Front-208: Walking style.
• Thrilling1031: Hired a Marine as a server with no experience serving, had him roll silverware at the end his first shift, I had never seen anyone roll so precisely and uniformly in all my time in restaurants over 20 years. He asked so many questions about the first roll he did, and made sure it was to the standard expected then proceeded roll all the silverware in less time than the most seasoned servers and it looked like a machine did it. I told him one of the rolls wasn’t good enough as a joke and he was ready to redo the whole basket lmao.
  
  His attention to detail on such a simple task was quite impressive.
• RugbyGuy: My brother once told me he figured out a co-worker was former military because they used the word, “outstanding” a lot.
  
  My brother told me (6 years USN) that I said outstanding a lot. Apparently people don’t use the word outstanding very often.
