By 1950 though it was $1 an hour, which would be over $13 an hour today (using your sources below).

That's not how compound increases are measured.
We can use the compound interest formula for this.
A = P * (1 + r) ^ t
- A is the final amount.
- P is the starting amount (the principal).
- r is the rate (as a proportion, so 50% would be 0.5).
- t is the time.
To figure out the annual increase for the whole time we can plug in what we know and solve for what we don't:
7.25 = 0.25 * (1+r) ^ 80
29 = (1+r) ^ 80 years
1.043 = 1+r
0.043 = r
So that's about 4.3% increase per year over the 80 years.
Now we can see what we would have as minimum wage if it had continued over the past 15 years:
A = 7.25 * (1+0.043) ^ 15
A = 7.25 * 1.043 ^ 15
A = 7.25 * 1.88
A = 13.63
So that's a $13.63 minimum wage.
I don't know... thanking G-d that you are not a woman every day seems pretty bad.
Exactly. If a company tells me that I get unlimited time off then tell me when the Christmas party is because I'm on PTO until then.
I'm not sure since I haven't really used Windows for 20 years or so. I don't think though, since there are separate CURSES libraries for Windows which don't operate using escape sequences.
Hahaha that's fantastic! Do you remember who it was? I'd love to read about this....
I live in Holland and basically only tip a small amount (like 10%) and only at restaurants. Maybe if it rains when my food is being delivered too.
Anyway.
I'm currently on business travel and happy to tip since its money from my soulless corporate employer. It's going to be a real struggle when I'm on vacation in the US though. 😆
Paying with card is convenient. If the amount is below an amount the card holder sets then you don't even need a pin. It's about the same time as each party counting money and so on.
It's a good idea, although some terminals will pause output when they play the sound. I always disable any sound from my terminal anyway, because computers should be seen and not heard. 😆
As long as its an official act, sure!
The only prohibition against arrest that I know of is immunity from arrest for members of Congress.
Because they believe that a fetus is a human being, and that killing a human is murder. I find it sad that so many people cannot understand that many Christians really believe that.
