Time for 32 hour work week.

A simple change to the employment standards act would change the obligation and  to pay overtime by increasing it 8 hours for those that would continue to work 40 hours per week. This would add more choice and more flexibility in hiring. Increase holding taxes, and make it more of incentive to use mechanisms such as rrsp to bring down taxes and increase savings.

There are other methods of doing it however this is a static solution that can be applied quickly with great effect. This includes hiring workers that are more of an entry level and would be interested in an opportunity for overtime. Without the dynamic of a second job.

Gentle Tuesday…quick jazz grab…

Weather statistics are indeed valuable for a variety of purposes, such as agriculture, transportation, and planning recreational activities. Understanding and interpreting weather data may seem complex at first, but with the right resources and guidance, a regular person can certainly make sense of the information. There are numerous user-friendly websites and apps that present weather statistics in a clear and understandable manner, allowing individuals to make informed decisions based on the data. Learning the basics of meteorology and familiarizing oneself with common weather metrics can also greatly enhance one’s ability to comprehend and utilize weather statistics effectively.

Vancouver Sun 20 tankers a month
Pricing policies

We hope that the price of oil leaving the country reflects the carbon tax somehow. Export tax this side of the border… ? There needs to be action taken with the revenue to alternatives.

Responsible is what responsible does.
Craigmont fine

Oil and water don’t mix

Unless it’s fines for non-compliance with permits.

The particles also reflect back heat.

Did you get some viewing of the electro magnetic storm activity as it sent particles past the earth lately?

Thanks Governments and agencies for the exploration and science that will enable us to come to better understanding and coping with our environment and its levers.

Polar lights are on the ends of the earth and are bent by our magnetic fields.
More sun activity, business insider

Gentle Tuesday. The End of The beginning

The race is on…

When considering whether the beginning or the end of something is better, it ultimately depends on the specific situation and individual preferences. Here are a few aspects to consider when evaluating the beginning and the finish of a project or experience:

  1. Impact: The beginning sets the foundation and tone, while the finish leaves a lasting impression. Both are crucial in their own ways.
  2. Progression: The beginning often involves excitement and anticipation, while the finish brings a sense of accomplishment and closure.
  3. Quality: It’s important to look out for consistency throughout the entire journey, ensuring that both the beginning and the finish meet the desired standards.
  4. Reflection: Consider how the beginning and finish contribute to the overall experience or outcome, and how they align with your initial expectations.

In conclusion, both the beginning and the finish hold their own significance, and paying attention to each stage can enhance the overall experience or result.

Mars,

Aside

Spacex is a private contractor brought along by NASA to commercially provide service to space projects and development. The company is involved with the Artimas return to the moon program that will send  four people back to the moon and have two of them land.

The view that we cannot rely on the earth to preserve our species existence drives  Spacex through its founder Elon Musk. The view  is strengthened by many nations taking it for strategic purposes that would result in permanent occupation of the moon and it  used as a base to do the same on Mars.

This is incredibly expensive and dangerous . The view that we would be better served making earth a better cared for and safer place is mitigated slightly by the advance of science involved in space exploration.

Filed under: Berivement, Blur, Social Activism by Kevin Griffiths — Leave a comment
August 10, 2024
Friends in  the Near East, send them an e card ..

When consoling people living under the threat of catastrophic danger, it’s important to offer support and empathy. Here are some suggestions on how to console them:

  1. Express empathy: Acknowledge their feelings and show that you understand the difficult situation they are in.
  2. Offer practical help: If possible, assist with tangible support such as offering a place to stay, food, or helping with evacuation plans.
  3. Listen actively: Encourage them to express their concerns and fears, and actively listen without judgment.
  4. Share positive messages: Provide words of hope and encouragement, reminding them of their strength and resilience.
  5. Stay connected: Offer to keep in regular contact to provide ongoing support and reassurance.

Remember to tailor your approach to the individual’s specific needs and be sensitive to their emotional state. It’s also important to encourage them to seek professional help if they are struggling to cope.

If you’d like to send an e-card with a positive message to friends in the Near East, consider using a platform like Hallmark or Blue Mountain for a thoughtful and personalized touch.

THIF –  The Greeks were…

Filed under: Arts and Culture, Vegtable soup by Kevin Griffiths — Leave a comment
August 9, 2024

The Greeks were,

Far from meek.

Days flow to weeks.

How to explain,

Life’s mortal pain?

Then to put on mask,

by God’s refrain and task.

Minions and host to work.

Civilized; tightened by torque.

Moral authority to boast,

Honour at end the host.

Feet of clay does bind.

Hope to Earth reclined.

Joy gives way…

Grieve to stay.

The greeks are?

Theater never absurb
Looks like a good s season coming
To be the question.

The local classic car club can be found at the A and W in Merritt early evenings Wednesdays

A visitor in Alberta was seen in a local motel. Just passed the club’s meeting place in British Columbia.

Local club  out and  about

Cruisers  and classics are a heritage  in Merritt.  Classic cars were sought for Highschool  grad festivities, a former city official owned a rod. Collector plates speak for them selves.

Have a great fay
