The alternative might be worse. If light was faster than the expansion of the observable universe, the entire sky would eventually be bright as all the stars combined.

Depends on where in the world.

In my case, if it should happen to me, I would call the union and stop working immediately. The union would then contact the company to inform them of their obligation to pay me and of the fee which doubles every day until they pay. If they fail to pay me and the fees within the set deadline, which is usually 5 days, the working court would quickly send a declaration of bankruptcy. The company don't get a say in that court. Only the unions of employees and the unions of employers have access. A simple matter like this is resolved quickly because unfortunately there are plenty of precedent cases.

At that point I wouldn't really give a shit if the company pays or goes bankrupt, because my salary would be paid to me either way. If the company can't pay, we have a fund to cover salaries to employees of bankrupted companies.

It's somewhat more complicated for people outside of unions. They have to pay a lawyer to battle it through civil court. They'll usually win but it can take months and cost a lot.

That song was written in 1963 in New York.

That would've been great advertising.

But then again, it could feature Trumps dick pics and the name of the real Luigi, and I'd still not bother watching it, because Melanie is soo despicable boring.

The thing is that native American didn't get the name from Greek, yet, it is still reference to a bear.

Some constellations, including the Great Bear, were named long before our languages even existed.

Etymology wise we might say it comes from ancient Greek, but it's also called Great Bear in languages that have no origin in Greek.

Wikipedia - Cosmic Hunt

I'm going out on a limb here, but I believe the Great Bear is actually named after a great bear.

Not all cultures though. In Brazil, the Big Dipper is also known as "large anus of the snake".

Can it be used to find the ICE employees?
