Thoguh posted:I don't think deaths even really matter to most people at this point. Especially since death data is delayed and a lot of them would be attributed to something else. The only thing that would matter is a wave where enough people are too sick to work that it impacts their ability to shop and go to restaurants. And that's within the context of a current and future reality where most people are not going to feel any pressure to quarantine while positive, so anyone sick with COVID but able to stand will be at work. If society collapses people will just blame unions or something.

I have no idea what this has to do with minimum wage in Hong Kong, but I guess media has to tie misery back to US wage slaves somehow. quote:The situation in Hong Kong is similar to employees' plight globally — workers are struggling to cope with high costs of living amid soaring inflation.

American society is completely atomized and nobody gives a gently caress about anything unless it happens to them directly

It's this, he unironically did more materially for the average American than anyone else in my lifetime. Saying but what about the bad things kinda ignores Biden keeping the bad things going, while not doing anything material for anyone. Trump is still, literally,a better president than Biden. Maybe that's real sad to hear but it's the blatant truth.

“Too often, employers fail to follow the child labor laws that protect young workers,” said Karen Garnett-Civils, the agency’s wage and hour division district director, in a statement. “Under no circumstances should there ever be a 10-year-old child working in a fast-food kitchen around hot grills, ovens and deep fryers.” Oh, word? Then you might want to do more than fine them on a per-kid amount that's prolly less than your monthly dining-out budget.

My wife's grandma is on a MA plan because she's still drawing on her first husband's pension + union health plan. He died in 1972. She lived the best possible life an American could live and no working people will ever live like her again lol

The US Dept of Labor has a webpage summarizing the number of child labor violations over time and the fines have been laughably small for years:  The number of violations involving minors in hazardous occupations doubled over the past several years.

Frosted Flake posted:Isn't this... the opposite of hoovering up the money sloshing around at the top causing inflation? Maybe they are trying to get the invisible hand of the market to pay more for those low interest rate treasuries that are currently bogging down the bank balance sheets. Like the Treasury can’t buy them back right now because of optics. But they can totally pinky promise to buy them back next year, and hopefully prop up the market for the long term treasuries. At least that is my guess as an outsider looking in. Like the 10 and 20 year bonds at 1% would potentially be more valuable on the market if they US treasury was going to buy them back at face value next year instead of 2030 or 2040. But I could be misreading the whole thing.

But I could be misreading the whole thing. they’ll be worth the bond value. if interest rates rise bonds fall in value. but they go back up near maturity, because you get the principle back at maturity. The opposite also works. a higher interest bond in a falling interest market rises in value but then falls again near/at maturity. if they are willing to buy immature bonds at face value, then the immature bonds are worth face value, like they would be at maturity.
