Oregon’s House members have passed a measure that would allow Oregon workers to freely practice their religious beliefs in the workplace.
Senate Bill 786 requires employers to accommodate religious beliefs provided they don’t impose an “undue hardship” on the business. The bill now goes to Gov. Ted Kulongoski for his signature.
For some reason this video reminds me of a Far Side cartoon.
I found #2 interesting:
Stations earn on average between 10 and 15 cents on a gallon of gas. Ironically, they earn the least when prices are highest. When fuel climbs, gas stations must shrink their profit margin to remain competitive, meaning they earn less per gallon than usual. But another big cost during tough times is something they can’t do anything about—credit card fees, which add up to about 2.5 percent of all purchases. When gas is at, say, $2 a gallon, the station pays credit card companies 5 cents a gallon; when gas hits $3, that fee becomes 7.5 cents—more than half the station’s entire average profit.
