Why do some posts have those weird coding issues for diacritical marks and punctuation? Is OP using non-supported characters and the engine is too dumb to translate them? Would right-click --> Post as plain text help? (Hint, hint...)

Also, I thought the NLRB had been permanently neutered by the Republicans by them deliberately keeping it sub quorum like they do with the FEC?

The NLRB is never permanently neutered.

There are five board positions. Control tends to change with the administration. There are currently three Republican board members, but one term expires here in August, another in late 2022. I think they are five year terms. What happens is that during the period of an administration, if the other party "controls" the Board, simply through the process of terms expiring and new people coming on, control switches to the party controlling the White House. Then, whenever a different party takes control of the White House, it switches back. Obviously, the tenor of the decisions tends to shift back and forth as well, which is why NLRB Board decisions should come with the same warning as stockbrokers give: "Past performance is no guarantee of future results."

What Biden also did, however, is immediately fire the General Counsel of the NLRB. That is the most important position with the NLRB, as he or she is the gatekeeper and prosecutor of the cases. The General Counsel serves for four years, and usually they have been allowed to serve out their term, but Biden decided to break precedent and can the GC on inauguration day, so I expect that will be the new precedent going forward.

Not an option on the phone.
 
Circling WAY back to the start of the thread:

The only way to make consistent income on gig work is to do multiple things. Like to take Instacart orders in between scheduled Door Dash shifts.
 
Interesting opinion piece in the Minneapolis paper that repeats speculation that the actual person(s) behind the creation of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is a group of extremely wealthy people primarily interested in a method of additional tax avoidance. I'm not going to link to the piece because it's behind a paywall, but the piece was by Chris Reed from the San Diego Union-Tribune.
 
I have zero doubts that if crypto wasn't a tax avoidance scheme from the start, it became one

which is why the IRS now asks you if you own any.
