I remember seeing him the first time and thinking holy shit! because it was a literal shock. Having gone to the Blue Room dozens of times since, it has just gotten to the point that it’s uncomfortable (like you said). He recycles the same jokes about tampons, lesbians, and fictitious sexual escapades, and it can really wear the audience thin.

Personally never really found him funny. I remember his performance was basically a generic old man boomer "women bad" routine. Just crass for the sake of being crass. Watching him with friends was just uncomfortable.

The no more than 3 unrelated is broken by tenants and developers. There are a number of builders who have built 4 bedroom units along Cherry Street, just a few blocks from MSU campus. The single-family neighborhood has a neighborhood organization and they spoke out against this development, fearing that college housing was going to take over swaths of their neighborhood. They literally used this law, stating the city can’t be allowing developers to build units with more than 3 bedrooms. The city council still green-lit the developers and the 4 unit developments have been open now for 5 years without any city code violations presented to the property owners or the tenants. The law is unenforced and will likely be removed or amended.

Thank you. I misunderstood the original post.
Notably though, this would only apply to single family houses and townhouses…and it isn’t enforced anyways.

I mean, the cops aren't coming and doing a headcount, but most landlords or property management places are gonna invoke that super quick when you show up with 5 people under 21.

Springfieldmo.gov has a PDF on their site that states
Each lease or rental contract entered into
regarding rental housing containing one or two
units which is zoned R-SF or R-TH and is located
in the designated neighborhood areas shall
contain the following language:
“Occupancy limited to one family or
three unrelated people, or one family
or four related people as determined by
the zoning classification of the
property.”
This language shall be posted on all such rental
property. Failure to comply with this section
shall render the occupancy permit null and
void.
(G.O. No. 6409, § 1, 11-27-2017)

I’m a property manager, and I’m not aware of this cap you refer to. Management companies can set up a rule like that for their leases, but do you mean there is a city ordinance that only applies to certain zones within the city?

USPS starting is like 19.80 I think, Plenty of overtime.

I was told the unrelated persons rule was to prevent brothels.
The MO Attorney Generals website is a reliable source.
and the US Dept of Housing and Urban Development https://www.hud.gov/states/missouri/renting/tenantrights

Ah cool, good to know lol
So you’re saying they use that law to be picky-choosey about who they rent to? Or is it a law that is regularly upheld?

Yes, but you have to go in person. I believe it's by the courthouse,as in years past, but I can't remember what building

We have basically no renter's protections.
The unrelated thing is often used to prevent people from renting. As is the one/two people per bedroom law.

Is absentee voting a thing in our local elections? I’m going to be out of town on the fourth. I’ve never been away for an election before.

I used a temp agency, Kelly Services. 2nd shift was 2:30 pm to 10:30 pm Monday through Friday. No mandatory OT (in my experience) but they almost always offered it on Sundays.
I Googled it you might be able to apply via Zip Recruiter or Indeed.

If you don't mind my asking how late does their 2nd shift run and do you need to use a temp agency to get in the door? Was it pretty typically 40 hr weeks or did they have mandatory overtime?

I briefly worked at Kraft. They had 2nd shift or third shift. Unless someone retired or was otherwise removed from 1st shift, it was very difficult to get on.
They also go by seniority for when a 1st shift opens up.
Good luck out there!

Agree 100%. For those who are not familiar with the Vecino Group, please check them out. I have had the pleasure of doing some work for them on several past projects, and each one was beneficial to the community involved…which is literally one of the requirements for any project to be approved. Bruce is a very nice person.

He might not be everyones drink of choice but you can't deny the commitment, dedication and gumption of the guy. He was on stage with a walker last time I saw him! Never surrender, never give up!!
