DaveWoo posted:You mean the CNN one? Yeah, as far as I know, it's still on. Until Trump says/does something so completely moronic that's the only thing a responsible news outlet will cover. CNN has pushed several of their "special" prime time things back because of that.

RasperFat posted:9 P.M. EST on CNN I think. If Sanders just pulls off a series of chaos dunks and properly shits all over G-C it will be glorious. My best guess is that Sanders is planning to disregard Graham-Cassidy entirely and just use the debate as a plank for single-payer. The wild card is Klobuchar, don't think she has much exposure.

About five minutes ago Cassidy said that everyone from the AMA to health insurers to hospitals and private charities are only opposing the bill because they have financial interests in things being dysfunctional. So they are going balls to the wall for this shitheep it appears

I feel like the capital P plan for Puerto Rico is that it drown and burn to open the field for land speculation so outside capital can scoop up the island real estate for pennies on the dollar from desperate people. Kind of like hawaii in the 19th century only with natural disaster and contemporary political malfeasance instead of plague and Christian mercenaries.

[quote="“Randbrick”" post="“476756345”"] I feel like the capital P plan for Puerto Rico is that it dtowns and burns to open the field for land speculation so outside capital can scoop up the island real estate for pennies on the dollar from desperate people. Kind of like hawaii in the 19th century only with natural disaster and contemporary political malfeasance instead of plague and Christian mercenaries. [/quote] The problem with this is that relatively dirt cheap land even on the downtown strip was readily available compared with the Caribbean broadly and people weren't biting. The economy and other factors were just not enticing to the vultures.

evilweasel posted:he shouldn't, the entire time should be spent shining as bright a spotlight on what republicans are trying to do Yeah, it seems like Sanders making it all about single payer would feed right into what the GOP wants to do to and make it "This or that thing we say will destroy us!" Like he should push his agenda but he's gotta make it clear what a damaging piece of poo poo Graham-Cassidy is.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Target just announced that it will raise the minimum wage for all employees to $11 per hour in October and slowly raise it to $15 an hour by 2020. Call me filthy capitalist swine, but it always makes me feel happy when I see a (locally based) corporation do a good thing. Not entirely sure whether the not being COL thing is good or bad, but still, it's a good step forward.

Is Puerto Rico even habitable long-term at this point? Even if everything gets rebuilt, they're probably just going to get demolished next hurricane season.

so all the polls are showing trump's big speech to support strange where he told the attendees, who were mostly voting for Moore, that he made a mistake and would campaign for Moore if Strange lost, did not do wonders for Strange. quite...odd. so mcconnell is going to have a loyal senator primaried out after spending 10 million to support him on tuesday then have his last final attempt to repeal obamacare fail wednesday, god willing sounds like it won't be a great week for him

Not entirely sure whether the not being COL thing is good or bad, but still, it's a good step forward. Not tying it to COL is a very good thing for Target employees in low COL areas. $15 an hour in Bumblefuck, Alabama on a High School degree is a very livable wage and a massive step up from the $7.25 that other retail jobs would be. A job stocking shelves at Target will literally pay over 100% more than a job stocking shelves at a retailer paying minimum wage in 2020.

They think it has a liberal bias, which it probably does, as techies lean somewhat liberal. So any mole would probably be able to come back with a lot of anecdotes about Facebook employees laughing at Trump-voting rural hayseeds over Chia Lattes and get conservatives steaming.

FB, having more people in place to make sure that more people see your propaganda would absolutely have helped the alt-right.

I'm waiting for the 2020 Wallstreet Journal article where they interview Target employees who were making $12 an hour when the minimum wage was $7.25 complaining about getting a raise to $15 because now the cashiers make $15 an hour too.

So what happened in Germany? It's hard enough to follow politics in the US, Europe might as well be "here be dragons" territory at the moment.

Rotten Red Rod posted:I don't get why they think insurance companies would even WANT to do this. What, are California insurers actually going to give the same rates to NY applicants or something? What is this supposed to fix? IIRC insurance companies would probably want it because it means they can headquarter up in the state with the most pro-insurance protections on the books to the detriment of consumers. It's the same reason why most credit card companies are based out of Delaware, it has the most lax, anti-consumer credit card laws on file.
