Jesus, just looked up from my zoom call and 'Biden conspired with Iran against Trump' is up on fox news. I hate that AFN is still allowed to have this on the news channel.

It made me turn off the notifications for his videos, hope they stay the hell out of political poo poo going forward, otherwise I'm done. The bigger channels I follow seemed to have stayed the hell away from it, the only notable exception I can think of is Brandon Herrera was a bit of a poo poo as always.

I used to recommend the guy because he was a pretty solid critic of getting the partisanship out of guns, would openly express disgust at seeing confederate flags at gun events etc and stepped away from supporting the NRA more recently. Can't really square that circle anymore if you're paling around with Tucker tho.

NY AG settled its fraud investigation into Bitfinex and their bullshit tethers. They're paying a slap on the wrist fine ($18.5m) and cannot do business with anyone inside NY state.

I wonder if the reason he was stepping away from the nra was the same as MAC's reason: they were too willing to compromise.

The federal minimum wage hike to $15 isn't going to happen. It would set production costs on a level playing field instead of allowing companies to essentially outsource production and services to LCOL (red) states. The financial industry is already like half way to outsourcing everything to Omaha. Edit- for jobs that can get away with paying the fed min.

I can't remember exactly the rationale rn but I recall at the time the short vid he made on it was decent. I would have been pretty angry about it then if it wasn't. My only gripe with Hickok back then was "well he's still kind of fuddy about the NRA and shills for it but otherwise he hates the klan folks and doesn't talk politics on the show so he's a decent watch". Can't say that now.

I'd love to be wrong, though. BTW, I also think that 100% of the GOP and like 75% of the Dems would literally kill, dry, and burn the poor to fuel the machines that make them rich if they could get away with it, so my perspective may be a bit warped.

Some, sure, but not as much as it would have in years past. the gig economy will probably capture some of this benefit and thanks to the illiterate voters of California, they have a proven template going nationwide. Think Task Rabbit but for an evening McDonald shift billed to JimCorp, a Culinary Services LLC with 1 employee for a flat rate. McDonalds isnt violating fed min laws, JimCorp LLC is! Will McDonalds do this to save $2 an hour? Probably not but some boat dealership in Alabama might if the margains get tight.

stealie72 posted:Not sure how valid this is, but my personal fear is "Raise the minimum wage. . . " itself is like 80% of the effort/political capitol and the ". . . to $X" is like 20%, so you've basically got one chance to change it in the next 10 years, and while $11 is a big raise for lots of people, it's still not gunna feed your family and the effort to raise it has been spent having not achieved the needed change of "everyone who works a full time job can at least rent a lovely apartment and eat rice and beans." The SEC has required that public companies disclose executive compensation for a few years. We should peg the minimum wage to that - if public companies increase executive compensation 10% year over year, minimum wage goes up 10%.

Ben and Jerrys did this, with the CEO capped at 5x the lowest paid employee. The founders wanted to create a more just world. They changed it to 15x when the founder retired so they could attract a "talented" CEO, who then sold the brand to a conglomerate whose CEO probably makes several hundred times more than the lowest paid employee.

I kept wondering why Beaufort's Dyke was so prominent on that map and finally looked it up. Turns out that was a fairly major surplus ammo disposal after WWII. And they dumped a few concrete barrels of nuclear waste on top for good measure. In case you were wondering, of course stuff has been washing up on Scotland, so digging around there is probably a GREAT idea!

So $4.5M total compensation puts them probably in the neighborhood of 450x. The crazy thing is back in the 60s, 5x CEO to lowest paid employee wasnt even that radical, 21x was the norm. But then the 80s came and i guess boards could justify $4.5M if the CEOs strategy made them $4.5M +$1 returns. Unions used to be able to recoup some of that windfall in higher wages, but the plants can move faster than the labor force.

I would rather see $22/hr than $11/hr, but I'll be happy to see $11/hr now because that's still better than $7.25.

Of course, get what you can. I just think a UBI/negative income tax or anything that removes business as the middleman for social welfare is better. Call it the Freedom Eagle Patriot MAGA Dividend and give it to anyone who has a job. Adjust it with real inflation.

I think, though I am not certain, that Manchin's proposed amendment would keep the inflation adjustment and tipped wage elimination. But $15 is still a hell of a lot better than $11, and hopefully Manchin proposing the amendment and getting it voted down will be enough for him to throw up his arms, say "Welp, I tried," and vote for the $15 increase in the final bill.
