How the fuck is that an acceptable hourly wage?

The logic (such that it is) is that the Federal minimum wage is still $7.25 . The "plus tips" is intended to make up the difference. If that person makes less than $4.25/hr in tips, the management is supposed to make up the difference. (And, in fact, the Federal minimum for "plus tis" is $2.13.)

This varies by state, some states have higher minimums, both straight minimums and minimums for tipped employees.

Plus, there's a new policy: to make sure we can't tell what data is overwritten, they will overwrite all instances of the name "Donald Trump" with the precise technical term "Bill Clinton"....

They need to find someone with zero brain cells that is willing to intentionally tank the economy to appease the mad king.

At least Eric will finally have a use

Alaska has its own oil wealth fund

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Permanent_Fund

As of 2019, the fund was worth approximately $64 billion that has been funded by oil and mining revenues and has paid out an average of approximately $1,600 annually per resident (adjusted to 2019 dollars).[5] The main use for the fund's revenue has been to pay out the Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD), which many authors portray as the only example of a basic income in practice.[6][7]

So the state does have the money, it just chooses to let it sit there and fund direct payments back to themselves instead of fixing shit

She said the cost would be footed by Trump himself as well as "other patriot donors." Leavitt said construction would finish "long before" the end of Trump's term.

So since they made a point to say that, I can only assume it will really be paid for by tax dollars, and Trump's friends will get all the no-bid contracts....

VISA handles 65,000 transactions per second. That's one of the major reasons we're not seeing more widespread adoption.

I thought they were gonna fix that by running a bunch of bar tabs

There will be another election. There has to be on order for Congress to be seated in Jan 2027. The only question is how ratfucked it will be.

All the talk of emergency redistricting in Texas is actually an encouraging sign. Because it means that they aren't confident in the outcome of the next election, and need to ratfuck it further.

That's what she's counting on....

 

A House Foreign Affairs subcommittee hearing ended abruptly Tuesday after Rep. Keith Self (R-Texas) referred to Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Del.), the first transgender person elected to Congress, as “mister.”

Self, who chairs the subcommittee on Europe, introduced McBride as “the congressman from Delaware” during a hearing on arms control and U.S. assistance to Europe. McBride responded by calling Self “Madam Chair.”

My Bills are on Sunday. That Steelers/Ravens game on Saturday will be a good one.

 

That's a lot of money

 

On Monday, the mayor marched down Fifth Avenue during the annual Columbus Day Parade wearing a baseball cap supporting BOTH the Yankees and Mets! The hat featured a Mets logo on one side, an "X" in between and a Yankees logo on the other side. ... "No wonder Eric Adams got indicted, that hat is a crime against humanity," one user wrote in a post on X, formally Twitter.

The announcers were very excited about it while it happened

 

Former President Trump on Wednesday clashed with an ABC News correspondent at a convention of Black journalists, slamming her “disgraceful” questioning after she asked why Black voters should trust him with another term.

 

The phrase “TRUMP TOO SMALL” stems from a memorable moment in the 2016 Republican presidential debates, during which Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., made a crude joke about the size of Trump’s hands.

“And you know what they say about guys with small hands,” Rubio quipped.

 

Biden’s campaign proposed that the first debate between the presumptive Democratic and Republican nominees be held in late June and the second in September before early voting begins. Trump responded to the letter in an interview with Fox News digital, calling the proposed dates “fully acceptable to me” and joked about providing his own transportation.

 

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) scolded Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) during a closed-door GOP conference meeting Thursday, telling the Florida Republican to sit down when he tried to interrupt McCarthy’s remarks.
