Amazon is a terrible place to work for, no doubt, but you guys are worrying about this way to much. It was about whether things like security checks are part of the job (and this payable) or incidental to doing your job (not payable). It's an anti worker ruling, but it would not extend to something that is clearly work.
Any minute that I am not reclining and watching sports is time I consider work, skfm.
... I now aspire to achieving a place in life where I am being paid for every moment I am not sitting.
Work at target during Xmas.
You will be so tired when you get home you won't want to stand, and the pay is so low you'll have to sell your body during you laying down time.
Sounds perfect for you.
They moistly come out at night, moistly.

I will you pay you one Penny per decade spent standing. Now you are paid for all your non-sitting time.
Man that was easy.
I work in kitchens, remember. You are gonna owe me a surprising number of pennies if I keep this up.

I'm willing to do the occasional extra thing for work, like organise a work social or do a mini project on my own time, but if it's a regular thing or extremely time consuming? Better pay me.

I got paid for being on-call.
At a reduced rate ofcourse, unless I was actually called in.
Hmm.
Not sure I am about that on-call life.
I don't very much like to hurry.

the 'work' question could be resolved readily if a non-dysfunctional legislature would clarify whether overtime legislation applies to the grey area
If it does then you will just see people working cut hours. Maybe they world be happy with that though. 35 hours worked plus 5 of security (all paid) is better than 40 hours worked and no security check.

It wasn't too bad actually, since it was a rotating shift, max 2 days a week, and scheduled in advance.
So those days were home days, i.e. no going out to movies or anything.

Oh, yeah, that sounds okay. I mean, not right now, having to actually stay in my home would be a nightmare. I don't have stuff. But in the future.
Now to find an industry that I would enjoy that might also require on-call staff from time to time.

Salary is a double edged sword. The consistency is great, but the loss of overtime and more fixed hours? Not so much.

The consistency and guarantee is amazing.
That sometimes I work 10 hours instead of 8 or 6 is more than worth the trade off.
Incidentally it also means I can work 6 hours and still get the same paycheck.

edit: Also, and again this is personal experience only, but my salaried positions were/are a lot more flexible in terms of hours that my hourly positions (which were lower paid/skilled service positions) which were tightly scheduled and monitered.

Is having black police in black neighborhoods a step that helps community relations?
I want to venture a guess and say "Sorta"
on one hand you have someone who looks like you pulling you over and all that. Less chance of racial discrimination and all that
but on the other hand it's still the police. And, you know, fuck them.
no.
black police would either end up being ostracized from the white police or they would end up being looked upon as uncle toms by the black community.
not a solution in anyway what-so-ever
I was assuming there would be not white police force around to ostracize the black police force.
and they wouldn't be straight up uncle toms. it's not that simple.
and that allegory/metaphor/whatever I was a bad English major doesn't work and I still don't know why people always use uncle tom as an insult. All the dude did was be fuckin' passive, it's not like he sold someone out. the author was made people misunderstood what she was trying to do (if I remember that class correctly)
