Jesus Fucking Christ.

He may be donating to both parties (probably is to cover his bases) but the biggest lol is anyone saying he is a socialist!

From my understanding (which could be incorrect), aren't a lot of standard costs not included in inflation calculations, like fuel costs and rent? Both of those have been increasing at much higher rates over the past few decades than other costs, which could explain the gap between the modern measurements and the old ones. All I know is that the government always says that inflation is 2 or 3%, yet in reality most people's costs are going up at a much higher rate, year-to-year.

“America’s labor shortage is approaching epidemic proportions,” reported CNBC, “and it could be employers who end up paying.” Well, yes. That’s how things are supposed to work: Businesses pay more to attract workers in a tighter, more competitive market for labor

Quote

The rhetoric coming out of the employer lobby would leave one to believe that workers are somehow the guilty party in this — they simply won’t accept jobs that pay them less than they’re worth.


The underlying cause of the “labor shortage” is hiding in plain sight. It’s the long-term trend of funneling the gains from labor productivity not to the workforce, but to shareholders. As with any addiction, this process produces short-term euphoria, reflected in share prices, but long-term pathology, reflected in income inequality, poverty and social unrest.

Well duh.

It's like, if you're going to take power on a few limited promises, why don't you have a good plan on how to do it effectively? Some of these guys like Miller idolize the Nazis, but they certainly lack the discipline and efficiency.

I've read that the deal will still take effect as there is a signing period that is open for a few years. Not sure if that's true. It would give time for another government to ratify it.

Sounds like the GOP will introduce impeachment papers against Rowdy Roddy within the next week.

My credit card's give me 1-4% cash back depending on category of purchase. It seems I average out to spending like $2000 a month on the credit card so that's like, probably $500 a year in cash back. I guess it's not a big deal but I'd rather have the $500 than the blood sucking retailing assholes.

Brian Mast is the congressman conspiring with the Russians, apparently.

Who is the traitor?

Whomever it is, they need to be sent to prison. Dana maybe?

Maybe Trump will push for their extradition! Lol. More likely he will try to pardon them.

Did the neutrino wait in line, or is it illegal?

The value of points is massive, though. You are really missing out if you dont have a credit card these days, especially if you like to travel.

That's the one thing that Canada really lacks. We do have points on our cards, but the rewards are typically 1/2 or less than comparable American cards. Still 100% worth it, though. I don't bother with the travel ones though, I use for gas points and gift cards. Flights in Canada are 2 or 3x the cost of the US (little competition, and there used to be a government airline that was privatized and since then prices have shot up), so people don't travel as much here, lol.
