I'm most afraid that if Trump loses in November he incites his cultists to attack Democrats. With or without him saying anything you know they're going to pull some poo poo. There will almost undoubtedly be assassination attempts.

Like oh no those poor people are getting the equivalent of 31k/year in unemployment money! That’s unacceptable. They should only get that after working two minimum wage jobs full time.

I'm exposed to a lot of chuds here in Pennsyltucky and they ALL still believe the "minimum wage is for KIDS at STARTER jobs, you can't raise it!" thing while simultaneously saying that they don't get paid enough because they're only making 11$ an hour at walmart. I haven't seen a hiring sign around for years that actually pays minimum wage, the floor is 10$ an hour now. Businesses have figured out that if you pay people just above minimum wage the people who would benefit from an increase the most will oppose it, because even though they themselves are now making more money, so are the people they could previously point to as their inferiors wage-wise.

reminder that the federal minimum wage kicker is just the equivalent of $15/hr. The states range from $5.88/hr (MS) to $21.68/hr (RI). Here's each state and their hourly rate for unemployment sorted from smallest to largest. Note that these are maximum rates for states that offer additional with dependents. Puerto Rico $4.75 Mississippi $5.88 Arizona $6.00 Louisiana $6.18 Alabama $6.88 Florida $6.88 Tennessee $6.88 Missouri $8.00 South Carolina $8.15 North Carolina $8.75 Michigan $9.05 Georgia $9.13 Wisconsin $9.25 Virginia $9.45 Indiana $9.75 Delaware $10.00 South Dakota $10.35 West Virginia $10.60 New Hampshire $10.68 Maryland $10.75 Nebraska $11.00 Alaska $11.05 District of Columbia $11.10 Idaho $11.20 California $11.25 Arkansas $11.28 Nevada $11.73 Kansas $12.20 New York $12.60 Wyoming $12.70 New Mexico $12.78 Vermont $12.83 Texas $13.03 Oklahoma $13.48 Kentucky $13.80 Montana $13.80 Pennsylvania $14.50 Utah $14.50 Iowa $14.78 Colorado $15.45 North Dakota $15.45 Ohio $16.18 Hawaii $16.20 Oregon $16.20 Illinois $16.68 Maine $16.68 New Jersey $17.83 Connecticut $18.10 Minnesota $18.50 Washington $19.75 Massachusetts $20.58 Rhode Island $21.68 Note that almost all of these programs have a max of 26 weeks and a number of their benefit windows are smaller.

Midjack posted:It’s much easier to simply kick the people out of the country and leave an empty building that they still own rather than seize the property outright. I think the State Department has responsibilities to protect diplomatic properties when they’re empty. This is true. The former Iranian embassy is still maintained and guarded by the State dept (they are legally required to as signatories to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations). It's been sitting empty since 1980 but they still own it so the State Dept is just keeping the lights on.

Say hello to your 2020-21 https://twitter.com/DarrenMHaynes/status/1285918779306913792 Apparently the name is/was trademarked by the XFL and supposedly a legal dispute was why they couldn't immediately announce the new name, so it would make sense.

I would’ve guessed an AF satellite for that name before literally anything army. I think the AF has a drone named Sentinel, or maybe it's a radar system. Either way it's good to have Keanu Reeves playing ball again.

I swear I saw army before, but this article just said “military organizations”. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/07/13/redskins-change-name-announcement/ quote:In an interview July 4, Rivera said he and Snyder had come up with two names that Rivera really liked. He did not reveal the names but said he wanted to confer with Native American and military organizations to make sure that the new name properly honored both. I thought they were going to go with Apaches, since the owner is a massive shitheel and the “I identify as an attack helo” memes would’ve all but written themselves.

Great, now the fans can call themselves Sentinelese. Army personnel chosen to guard the tomb of the unknown soldier are known as “Sentinels.” I very much doubt the NFL is worried about the sentinel radar, an Army air defense radar.

kraken! posted:I want to say Texas Instruments has a chip fab in Houston as well I don't think the plant is there anymore based on a cursory Google. Being redeveloped into upscale mixed-use suburban sprawl in the true Houston way  Slightly more  from an earlier chapter in my career, now that my kid isn't crawling all over me. The Chinese state-owned oilfield services firm is aggressively trying to take market share and practically all of their competition is based out of Houston. Particularly regarding technologies like fracking, directional drilling, and demanding offshore stuff - a huge amount of the engineering, R&D, and project management is done out of or through Houston. Plus you have headquarters or technology centers for basically all of the major oil companies themselves, which have probably petabytes of internal data that would be a huge boon if you were trying to develop your own resources. That's just one possibility. Also the Texas Medical Center is a huge fuckin' thing, basically what would pass for an entire downtown in most cities but it's all hospitals and research. It's also literally just down the road from the Consulate, as is Rice University. Also, Trump. So there could be a third explanation that amounts to "Pomeo! I pooped my pants, spin the wheel of chaos!"
