If they weren't forced to, the employers would not cover the workers. They wouldn't even pay them if they didn't have to. I have worked at several places where the waiters made nothing but tips.
sally, we always credit where we find pictures. See the word "link"? Push that button, and it takes you to the place I found the picture. I wish I knew who actually took the picture or made the snow sculpture, because we'd love to credit them as well.
I think Stoll was right to bemoan the things that the internet lacked at the time. But since then, smart folks took a look, found a need, and filled it. Many made a ton of money doing it! Think Amazon, PayPal, Wikipedia, Snopes, YouTube, Google, Facebook, all of them provided something the internet needed.
Way to go, Zavatone! My mother taught at a high school in Namibia near Angola for a year in the Peace Corps. Unfortunately, I can't find her right now to see if it's the same school.
The law may have gone into effect today, but the card companies had plenty of notice. Citibank jacked up their interest rate to 29.99% as soon as the law was passed. Good thing I don't keep a balance!
My tacos come from the refrigerator, where we have covered bowls of all the fixin's ready to pull out at a moment's notice. When I buy tortillas or sauce, my husband insists I check to see where they were made. Mexico is best, but Texas will do. He's from California, and would die without Mexican food at least twice a week.
