That surprisingly high number suggested that employers’ spending on wages and benefits was rising faster in the summer months than economists had thought. It put Mr. Powell on alert that inflationary pressures had the potential to be broader and longer lasting than the Fed had been expecting.

yeah a lot of stores end up paying the police for those kinds of guards

of course this also raises the question of "why can private business pay the police for preferential treatment" but everyone in this thread already knows why

Directly paying money to the police, aka a bribe.

I think that American presidents, that position in itself, as well as American foreign policy, it has terrorism in it. CIA agents going to overthrow certain governments - they're using terrorist tactics. They're not going in there like, 'Hey, you wanna have some cake?'

Hi McNugget Buddy:

With the IRS Free File program surpassing its founding goals of e-file and tax preparation, Intuit has elected not to renew its participation in the Free File Program for the upcoming tax season. This decision will allow us to focus on further innovation and to continue exploring how to best serve the complete financial health of all Americans through our products and services. Learn more.

In the past, you have used TurboTax through the Free File program to prepare and file your taxes. Although Intuit is no longer participating in the program, if your Adjusted Gross Income is $73,000 or less, you may still qualify for other IRS Free File Offers at https://www.irs.gov.

So Intuit lobbied against free government-provided tax filing by promising "we'll still give the poors free tax preparation!", then they just changed their minds

Ode To A Scab

By Jack London

After God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad, and the vampire, He had some awful substance left with which He made a scab. A scab is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a waterlogged brain, and a combination backbone made of jelly and glue. Where others have hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles.

When a scab comes down the street, men turn their backs and angels weep in heaven, and the devil shuts the gates of hell to keep him out. No man has a right to scab as long as there is a pool of water deep enough to drown his body in, or a rope long enough to hang his carcass with. Judas Iscariot was a gentleman compared with a scab. For betraying his Master, he had character enough to hang himself. A scab hasn't.

Esau sold his birthright for a mess of pottage. Judas Iscariot sold his savior for thirty pieces of silver. Benedict Arnold sold his country for a promise of a commission in the British Army. The modern strikebreaker sells his birthright, his country, his wife, his children, and his fellow men for an unfulfilled promise from his employer, trust, or corporation.

Solidarity wins.

How many places allow you a full range of options?

I'm not sure if NYC is a weird case, but I feel like so many of the new housing options for buyers are tilted to the "luxury" range to try to maximize profits.

You don't really have a ton of options in a lot of places, or you have to go to a condo where HOA fees can chew up a good portion of the money you're saving by buying cheaper.

Around here, most of the people I know who were or are in the market are being forced way out into the sticks where you aren't going to find anything smaller than 1400 sq. ft. and the average size is probably close to double that. It's "cheaper" to buy a big house out there, right up until you need to replace the roof or make some other significant repair. But it doesn't matter that the smaller houses might be more affordable because those are all in areas where the prices are through the roof and you can't get a lender to approve your loan anyway.

Apologies for reposting something I posted in D&D, but I'm still seething after reading this and remembering that Dave Ramsey is one of the few "financial personalities" in the US advocating offering something close to decent advice regarding debt and spending.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/14/us/dave-ramsey-lawsuit-covid.html

quote:

On March 15, 2020, Mr. Ramsey emailed employees to tell them there had been a confirmed case of Covid-19 in the office.

That employee worked in Mr. Amos’s department, according to the lawsuit. The following day, employees were told they had to attend an “on-site” meeting, where Mr. Ramsey announced that the company would not allow people to work from home, the complaint stated.

“Specifically in this 900-person meeting,” the complaint said, “Mr. Ramsey stated that fear of working in the office because of Covid demonstrated ‘weakness of spirit.’”

Everything in this country is horrible.

oversized houses sounds bad in terms of heating and cooling. it’s not really a problem in my 500 sq ft for 2 but some blog says the average square footage per person in a single family house is 1350, so I’d pay more than five times what I do now to heat/cool an “average” place for 2 people.

what a stupid system, goodness.

Also the insane thing in America is that there is literally only central heating. Everyone else on earth has split case air conditioners/heat pumps and only heats or cools the room they're actually in. Americans heat and cool their entire loving houses because gently caress the earth, that's why.
