Food Coop Anyone?
Jamie at ThriceAllAmerican is up to his environmental do-gooder ways again. He got us into farmsharing. He drives a car that runs on biodiesel when he’s not biking. 
Sure, we recycle. We have a worm bin for food scraps. Jamie’s worm bin is significantly larger than ours. Somehow we just don’t measure up. Now, he’s looking for folks that may be interested in forming a food coop. When will it end? Although…
It is curious. I’d like to hear more about it. Anybody else interested?

Yes, I couldn’t believe all the people littering instead of walking to one of the many trash and recycle receptacles. Never having worked in the public sector, I’ve always been curious – What (if any) premium do public service employees get on Independence day for working the event? Time-and-a-half? Double time? Just wonderin’.

@offbroadway-double time for paid holidays that other employees would otherwise have off….

Aside from cops, I think most of the workers at this event are volunteers, including the garbage detail. Double time times zero still equals zero.

I thought it was double time and 1/2. They get the holiday pay, their normal pay, and an extra 1/2 for working the day as incentive.

And still, it equals zero. Math is an amazing thing that way.
