My favorite preseason hype video - 2015 "It's Time to Work" narrated by Brian Dawkins

Eagles official YouTube channel doesnt allow link sharing, so I found this random one with the weird background

Anyway, this is fantastic.

Shame that 2015 was so rough. Bradford, Chip at his worst, Billy EFFING Davis leaving Eric Rowe on an island.

But it led to Dougie P and the Lombardi so...

Wouldn't it be cheaper, and simpler, for companies to just make everyone salaried?

I understand why companies will hire multiple part time employees, so they dont have to offer medical insurance. Sure. Im still not sure that erratic scheduling/staffing and high turnover/constant training would be worth it, but that's another conversation

My main question is: with comparable pay rates (ie $30/Hr and $62,000/yr), wouldn't it be easier for the company to pay a salary?

If its busy/things are due soon, employees can work later and more hours but you won't have to pay them overtime. And then opposite, if nothing is going on they can leave the office early and just answer the phone and come back if something urgent comes up.

Like, if your job is "make sure XYZ is done by Friday", then salary pay means "work as long as it takes to make sure XYZ is done" without scrambling for OT approval or paying overtime.

You don't have wasted time and resources tracking hours

You don't have wasted money on timesheet software/apps/punch clocks

Am I missing something? It seems like a no brainer to me.

The pouch is swingingggg

He's also been on a vet prescribed diet and is down 5lbs since I adopted him

So please don't call me an abusive owner. He was fat when I got him.

Found in dad's old stuff. Any idea who this is? There's also a Dornhoeffer stick so someone from that era?

Also lol at the condition, I used to play with it as a kid

signature doesn't look like Dornhoefer to me. an M?

not confident it's from the same era as the stick though cause this might have been a raffle thing?

also if it helps it says made in Slovakia

Considering influence, financial power and inflation based on the time period, military strength, and anything else important...who are the most wealthy/powerful people in history?

I mean, Croesus was apparently rich enough that he became the common simile for being "rich as Croesus"

Attila had so much territory and all of it was technically his

Alexander the Great owned half the world

Just how powerful amd influential were Roman emperors?

But what about a Pope? I mean the Catholic Church ​is/was wealthy and powerful.

Or like Pablo Escobar? He basically ran the country and had a military

the British empire?

today we have billionaires but money is worth less, so is today's equivalent of a billion basically equal to running a nation in 1650?

African and South American history was really just brushed over in my school. Are there any major leaders of nations ancient or otherwise that can be contenders?

ELI5: how do real, in-nature "hive minds"/queens vs drones actually work? Do they actually share 1 mind/consciousness?

Is it genuinely if 1 bee/ant knows something they ALL do?

Is the queen genuinely aware of everything all the hundreds of workers are doing as they do it?

Or is it more like "these bugs always behave like X without ever changing/questioning because queen told them to, it's like they share one mind" without LITERALLY sharing a mind
