Not everyone wants to deal with the bullshit associated with ownership. Owning a business is not the same as doing the labour that makes the business money - there's a bunch of other crap like dealing with taxes, licensing, insurance, marketing, and liability. It's great that OP is willing to offer an ownership stake but not everyone wants it. In one small business I'm aware of, I know an offer like this was made and the person/employee declined because they didn't want all the additional stress of work required for the business to legally exist and function and instead wanted to stay on the tools so to speak. They found it was better for their health/mental health limitations. Now that person is well paid and has a senior role, but isn't an owner.

There is a non trivial amount of labor that goes along with owning a business that is necessary for a business to function. It is not so much labour that small business tyrants should be exploiting labour like they do, but it is work and it is almost always different in nature than the type of work that the business does that actually makes revenue. Paying someone super well and respecting their opinion for decision making purposes without an ownership stake is a respectful option for OP.

the boomers were worse than the generations before and after them

This is part of the pattern that has been going on for all of recorded human history also

What's the matter with kids today is a sentiment that has been posted about and whined about for as far back as humanity has written records. It's not different just because we do it on phones

One would think. Freeland is supposed to be the heir apparent, but if she's inheriting a party that's in the absolute toilet then that's one strike against her. Further, her principal policy has been project ukraine, which has been a real failure. What is she going to do, brag about how great the sanctions she designed worked against Russia?

This is a pretty sharp way for them to have a legal reason to crack down on and deport migrants from the MENA region. "because you're brown" is not as palatable a reason as "because you haven't grappled with Germany's history and become a Zionist"

In Canada news, the Liberals got rinsed here in what was a safe seat. Trudeau reacting with bodies and spaces language is classic.

Ah, but have you considered all the totally real ways that the upcoming labour government will differ from the tories in terms of actual policy? It's going to be totally different when kid starver is at the helm

I look forward to 2027 when we are told that we must go to war with China to prevent them from invading the Philippines' territorial waters and it turns out to be ocean within a few miles of this ridiculous scow turned artificial island.

Yes it's really good. Eating mujadara really feels healthy, like your body knows it's getting balanced nutrients without a bunch of crap.

I mean isn't it axiomatically 100%?

I really enjoy mujadara, the contrast of rice, lentil onion and pomegranate syrup is chefs-kiss

I really like that contrast of flavours. What other vegan dishes should I make that use pomegranate syrup?

Also, what are common kid foods in Lebanon? I mean, it seems like in every culture there are dishes that kids always love, like what grandparents make as a treat. Like maple syrup, apple pie, cheese in canada. What are things like that in Lebanon? Are there things you are really looking forward to sharing with your son to be because you enjoyed them as a kid?
