hangedman1984 posted:Beto is basically a white Obama, charismatic speaker, talks a good game, but will govern like a milquetoast moderate. His voting record seems to imply he's pretty right wing hence the freakout over any actually vetting of him. If he was just a moderate I don't think the third way would be quite as terrified of anyone looking into him.

I'll take your word for it Mr. Acronym, maybe in future you can dispense with the poo poo-posting snark of your first response ("you dont understand how 401k matching works) and skip straight to this kinda stuff, needlessly aggressive though it still is.

Solkanar512 posted:I’m almost certain that I heard on the news that officials confirmed that the chair couldn’t be fired by the president. He can't, unless the SCOTUS rules that independent agencies are fundamentally unconstitutional. Kavanaugh has expressed this belief, but Thomas has expressed otherwise, and most of the justices probably won't want to open that can of worms even if it's the "correct" decision. Same deal with West Virginia.

The companies made so much money they could have easily kept giving out lovely little bonuses and bought cheap PR since the media is desperate to help them out while still coming out massively ahead. However even that was too much good will from them and it was better just to go full gently caress it greed.Tatsuta Age posted:

A lot of people are so bad off that tax cuts for them are insignificant, especially in contrast to consumption taxes which aren't touched or the general expensiveness of being poor.

My company actually gave them out, sort of, then had massive layoffs last month. In order to get the stock moving? It was brutal. It kind of worked, but the stock is already headed back to where it hovered for two years.

Also rereading it now that I've had a bit of coffee it is kind of missing my point. Let's take a single paycheck in June as an example and assume I'm contributing $100 which is being matched. In traditional matching I would put in my $100 and the company would put in their $100 in June. In the new system I would put in $100 in June and they would put in $100 on Dec 31st, unless I was fired or quit mid year (in which case I keep my $100 but get no match). In the traditional matching I get all of the returns on and take all the market risk for $200 in June, but in the new system from June-Dec I only get returns and take risk on $100. The market could go to the moon or to zero in November and the company would still have to put in exactly $100 on Dec 31st. My point was (based on some articles which may or may not be right) that part of the appeal of this new system was that from June-Dec the company would be investing their $100 match with the expectation of keeping any returns. This year however even relatively safe investments have taken a hammering so unless they literally just put the cash in a standard deposit account it probably lost money and they will have to top it up to meet their $100 obligation.

My wife's employer keeps sending these letters touting new benefits they are claiming to implement because of the tax cuts. It is mostly a paltry amount of parental and disability leave. Meanwhile raises for staff were capped at ~1.5% and the company just spent several billion dollars acquiring other companies.
