DaemonFCschestowitz[TR], Walmart's payscale got reformed while I was there, and I got a big raise. The reformed payscale was designed to make pay in each department uniform across each store and in line with local prevailing wages.Jan 18 02:29

DaemonFCBut I obtained a leaked draft of it.Jan 18 02:29

DaemonFCAt first they said they hadn't seen it so stop spreading rumors.Jan 18 02:30

DaemonFCManagers doling out arbitrary raises to underlings that they were fucking, for example.Jan 18 02:32
DaemonFCWhich was previously quite common.Jan 18 02:32

DaemonFCSo we changed the state constitution to disallow it and to make sure that it would be very difficult to get rid of in the future.Jan 18 03:02
agg1sorry, me reasoning is way beyond any political psycho sectarianism such as unions, that's all corrupted here in germanyJan 18 03:02
DaemonFCThe same amendment also says that no law in this State shall be valid if it interferes with bargaining over wages, working conditions, workplace safety, or job benefits.Jan 18 03:03

DaemonFCThey don't want to deal with labor unions.Jan 18 03:04
DaemonFCLabor unions raise pay in the area.Jan 18 03:04
agg1ah, i see, in germany (most relevant) unions are under political dictate, not independent organizationsJan 18 03:04
agg1and those unions are political psycho sectsJan 18 03:04
DaemonFCYou start getting shops unionizing, it raises pay even in ones that don't.Jan 18 03:04
DaemonFCBecause it puts the upward pressure on pay and working conditions.Jan 18 03:05
agg1pay rise, rents rise, grocery store prices riseJan 18 03:05

agg1just for fun, it's not expensive, and the air rifles they build are affordable and good qualityJan 18 03:08
agg1but it is forbidden to fiddle with air rifles, when those are pentagon-F stamped, only gun-smithers are permitted to maintain those riflesJan 18 03:08

agg1which all apply to weapons which aren't interesting to me (automatic rifles, high powered rifles, nothing which is practically useful for anything)Jan 18 03:17
agg1i mean, the noise those guns make, that's reasons enough to avoid the restricted onesJan 18 03:18
agg1the pentagon-F ones however, do not require any of the permits for hunters, sport-shooters, or collectorsJan 18 03:18

agg1requires nothing but an age verification, done.Jan 18 03:20
agg1then it is strictly forbidden to carry any of this in public, obviouslyJan 18 03:20
agg1any type of hunting is strictly forbidden with the free ones, one shot at a pigeon, and you go to jailJan 18 03:21
agg1and i think, must hunters which got the expensive permission and paperwork for all types of weapons they wish to have, i think it's sillyJan 18 03:23
agg1the noise they make, that's stupid, to walk into a forest, and scare all squirrels at a radius of 1mileJan 18 03:23
*u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)Jan 18 03:23
agg1the deers they and boars they catch, they could lure them into traps and fences, or howeverJan 18 03:24
agg1in sweden the deers there are herded, and it's easy to catch them, without a gunJan 18 03:24
agg1for sports, the air rifles are neat, because, they're affordable, including ammunitionJan 18 03:25
agg1outside military and police i see little to no reasons for anyone to acquire a sporting-gun permit, although i do not object to it, just not my piece of cake, to each their ownJan 18 03:26
agg1blood samples taken from shooters at the range indicate unusal high lead concentration in their blood, inhaled by the fumesJan 18 03:26
agg1and whatever else the gun powders emitJan 18 03:27
agg1pentagon-f stamped free air rifles are clean, except for the lead which must be collected and easily recycledJan 18 03:27
agg1the USA survivalist gunners, are idiots somehow, a fully powered air rifle could serve that purpose, however, you could carry 500 projectiles for 5coins of money, to survive eating rats and rodents terminated with a lead pelletJan 18 03:28
agg1if that's what they wantJan 18 03:29
agg1there's just one thing air rifles aren't good at: going on killing spreeJan 18 03:30
agg1not saying those german air rifles couldn't be annoying, when fully powered, and a precision to hit a penny at 100 yardsJan 18 03:31
agg1this won't kill anyone of cause, yet a third hole in the nose is somewhat intruiging, where was that coming from?Jan 18 03:32
agg1although, i don't recall any single illegal or any other incident such as this with german air rifles.Jan 18 03:32
agg1the shootings reported in germany, were all linked to shooters with a permit for sports shooters or huntersJan 18 03:36
agg1meaning, they or the parents did all paperwork with official permits from bureaucracy, and this didn't prevent anyhtingJan 18 03:37
agg1and pentagon-f stamped rifles don't require any paperwork except for age verification, no issues reported with those ever, none that i know ofJan 18 03:38
agg1just as said, it's just forbidden to aim at anything living with air rifles, had not seen any statistics how many rodents were hit by a pelletJan 18 03:38
agg1anyhow, in germany there isn't any existential survival crisis, to hunt rodents for lunch, hence i suspect such incidents are insignificantJan 18 03:40
agg1problem i have, i got 50 square meters to live, with no place nearby to go outside anywhere, and no shooters club nearby eitherJan 18 03:40
agg1i think in USA and wherever else, most gunners are obsessed, and totally miss what's available with traditional air riflesJan 18 03:42
agg1i mean, they could save 99% of their cash spent for guns and riflesJan 18 03:42
agg1a box with 500 pellets, 5coins; 100 rifle darts which are reusable are 20coins, after a little while those darts deformJan 18 03:43
agg1for example, when i hit them hole-in-hole spot on, one dart deforms the other one hit.... which is rather difficultJan 18 03:44
agg1so, that's ammo cost of 20coins for 6month, with rifle dartsJan 18 03:44
agg1and the little secret with pellets, which are rather cheap too, they're punchy even with non-tuned pentagon-f stamped rifles, so I do not use thoseJan 18 03:46
agg1i mean, if you wanted, you could buy steal core pellets freely on ebay, fully legal, yet for what? to punch holes into the windows?Jan 18 03:46
agg1steelJan 18 03:46
agg1it doesn't hurt, to stockpile a box of those for 5coins though, just in case of a prolonged power outage, and nothing remaining to eat except rodentsJan 18 03:47
agg1the noise alone, of rifles, is reason enough, to avoid most of themJan 18 03:49
agg1i remember having read, traditional cowboy rifles and revolvers, remained sub-sonic, with heavy projectiles, otherwise their horses would freak outJan 18 03:50
agg1this fact alone, rules out 99% of what's advertised by the gun industry, as whatever greatness they sell to idiots around the globeJan 18 03:51
agg1i mean, i must admit, a cowboy horse and rifle, that's a small boy's dream of freedomJan 18 03:52
agg1yet, this isn't what the industry is sellingJan 18 03:52
agg1or, let's say, they sold that tooJan 18 03:53
agg1otherwise, there is no practical use for noisy weapons, for anyone, not police, not military, not hunters, not sports shooters... nonetheless they're blasting their ears and that of the animals in the forest when huntingJan 18 03:54
