POLITICAL THREAD

[Bigmikeydelight]

Why can';t we take half your salary and give it to the custodian? Sounds equitable to me.

I used to support teachers, genuinely desriign them getting paid better, until I started reading their comments here on the Catpaw. Who educated the "educators?" 😯

You are purposely being obtuse. What pisses me off about my district is that we only pay bus drivers, cooks, and janitors a .5 pay scale. They only get paid 4 hours, but oftentimes work beyond that to make sure the job is done for us and the kids.

The difference between that happening and it not happening is not the CEO's salary.

Lots of things should be that aren't. Your socialist utopia doesn't work because it can't work. You'll never have everyone everywhere able to only work 40 hours and be comfortable.

CEO should make money and should make significantly more than the bottom of the totem, but this current model is a newer phenomenon. Companies continually raise salaries of CEO's to attract and maintain them. CEO's are certainly a limited resource in this country, but these stock options and deferred payments and other loopholes only started in the 90's. We have to curb this trend. I think in the 60's, the gap was only 50x.

I appreciate the effort. Celine was never able to make a thoughtful argument, bc he never truly thought about it.

But the gap should grow EVERY year. Otherwise, we have collapse and that helps no one.

The "poor" in this country are better off than 95% of the world. Their boat has risen substantially. Again, appeal to emotion is not an argument.

Shouldnt you be "teaching"? I feel like i am the only one teaching rn.

I disagree on the third point. My justification being that there's a huge population of Americans that live 20 years less than the US life expectancy.

Definitely could have been utilizing my plan better this week, been taking a lot of work home with me. Able to quickly respond during passing when I have bathroom duties.

The "blame the executives" populist approach, is not the way. Scary times when a CEO gets murdered in cold blood and a significant amount of the population seems happy about it.

There's certainly better ways, but Anthem planned on reducing the amount of anesthesia used in surgery. They rescinded that policy after the attack.

She either wants the job or the military complex are flexing their control over her. Likely both are in play. Felt she has been way too close to the Trump transition to begin with and then this happens. Liked her when she first ran but she became a part of the establishment.

I'm not reading all that, especially after some "teacher" tells me I'm the one being obtuse.

I ddin't read your other posts either, but from what I gleaned from skimming you were saying they should give the CEO's bonus to 4 thousand employees, would give them an extra 32k. But DollarTree has over 200k employees. What about everyone else?

Yes, someone is being obtuse here, but it's you and not on purpose. Who educated the educators? You weren't; you were indoctrinated.

 

[DrH. Lecter]

It's fun to watch the leftist media as they now must eat their words. Will they? Hell no. They are disgusting liars who simply shill for the Democrats. Is there anyone who still believes that the MSM is anything but the PR wing of the Dem party. Pushers of disinformation.

When do you actually “teach”? Are you sure you’re not in a coal lab? If you’re not Dion, I sure would have lost that bet. Seems you’ve just watered down your shtick at first but it’s making its way back.

If you were a true capitalist, you’d been livid that Trump and Biden forgave 3.7 trillion in PPE loans. Like if a business is forced to closed, that’s natural selection. We have a system that enriches the already rich. I can speak hyperbole here, but I just want to see a just system.

There was zero market for most industries during Covid. Capitalism was selectively frozen (construction industry hummed right along for instance). Some might even say that was the main purpose of the extreme lockdowns…to KEEP capitalism frozen permanently…so that a version of socialism could be installed under the veil of a declared national emergency.

Disingenuous stance to equate PPE loans during Covid with the type of bullshit commie socialistic system you want to install.

Also, sounds like you should be the biggest fan of the Elon/Vivek DOGE efforts. They are all about meritocracy & “just” systems of operation. Get on board, komrade!!!

Jury tells Judge they can't reach a consensus on Daniel Penny manslaughter charge. He's going to have his life ruined regardless since the deadbeat dad is suing him/trying to cash in.

I didn't even know much about Vince Lombardi as a kid, but I called myself Vince Lombardi of this game. You will lose....also, air hockey. You will lose that too.

COVID loans were still BS. Should have been 1/3 of what they were.

Then what would have people like Andy Beshear have done if they didn't have all of that excess money to dole out months before the election?

And you are an authority on this topic? What do you know about federal government workers in DC?

As for working in the office, I work in Big Law. IMO there is no question that people are more productive in the office, and working mainly remotely is a drain on the development of younger attorneys, the quality of the work done, the collegiality of the work environment, etc. I'm in favor of requiring people to be in the office most of the time, but most big law firms are not doing that.

You are in Big Law and don't have the intelligence to look at the Democratic party as pure filth. You are a direct exmaple why "Big Law" etc. is getting completely dismantled in DC.......to get rid of all the smug losers.

 

[hmt5000]

You obviously have no clue about the entire topic, from the financials to the intangibles of having people back in the office....productivity, community effect, morale, accountability (to name a few)

Yep... Just saw a former military guy on Fox say... Procurement is broken, enlistment is down, morale is in the toilet... Hegseth is there to fix that. Some of these people seem to think just keeping on doing what we've been doing can fix it. Very definition of insanity.

Trump won Iowa by 13 points. Ernst won by 6.... I think people need to quit sucking up to the RINO's and instead of them doing the threatening we need to do the threatening. Iowa wouldn't be close at all if people like Ernst actually believed in the stuff they run on. She wanted to be Trumps VP in '16 and his Sec Def this time. She's buthurt he didn't pick her. She can get on board or get primaried.

I just listened to the Martyr Made Epstein series and it’s more disturbing than I was expecting.

There are some evil ****ing people in the world.

Care to give us some highlights (lowlights)?

One of the big losses from work from home is mentorship. Many companies have noted this lately. People hired the last few years just aren't improving like before work from home.

That’s the problem, right. You don’t read because you already “know”. I’m spouting my POV, but I do listen in good faith and change my opinion when new info arises. CEO’s should be paid, and handsomely might I add, but 399x over is egregious.

Also, sounds like you should be the biggest fan of the Elon/Vivek DOGE efforts. They are all about meritocracy & “just” systems of operation. Get on board, komrade!!!

Am on board. I’ve commented twice about this. Once about the redundancy of this since GAO exist. Folks here had good responses to this and I agreed with them.

And I am glad democrats on a national scale are jumping on. Shared an article yesterday about a Florida rep joining DOGE caucus.

When do you actually “teach”? Are you sure you’re not in a coal lab? If you’re not Dion, I sure would have lost that bet. Seems you’ve just watered down your shtick at first but it’s making its way back.

i have planning earlier. I read and post during that time, I have bathroom duty between class and read then, and now I’m on lunch. Replying meow.

You do realize which side is doing the cheering about this murder don't you? Eventually you'll figure out which side is the extremist.... Maybe.

The remote vs office topic isn't rocket science, and you don't have to be a top dawg BIG LAW to understand this.

What do I know about fed workers in DC? Quite a bit.

What do you want to discuss now, my favorite color?

Ernst is done. People are going through her voting record and she is exactly what people voted against in this election.

I saw where the family kicked him out due to threats he made towards them. It was why he was homeless. The only thing they care about him for is to make money off his death.

Dore wants to blame populist... It's leftist cheering this crap on. every single time...

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

Actually, it makes sense that a Liberal in Big Law has no intelligence. I know a few, personally, and they are dumber than dirt, lol. They smugly and erroeously have convinced themselves that they are smarter than others outside of their field and HATE any successful non-lawyers (that's why they hate Trump more than they love their own families) but at the end of the day they are nothing but toolboxes.

I think it has to be a federal criminal issue, but then again, the current regime is talking about blanket pardons for no currently named crimes.

And they've spent over $400M on that movie too. Who'd of thought doing DEI hires on multimillion dollar movies could lead to 3 or 4 reshoots and huge flop in the making. The trailer for that movie is getting roasted on YT. LOL

The best CGI in the trailer for the movie... is a turtle. Everything else looks so uncanny valley it's ridiculous.

 

[hmt5000]

It sounds like Trump is sticking with Hegseth and Kash. I would say recess appointments get more traction if these RINO's hunker down in opposition. Milley and Austin got overwhelming support... so did Wray.

I believe you are correct, and there is no way Gov. Hochul is going to do it.

You can't rehearse raw emotion and both whites and blacks interviewed at the scene made it obvious that he was being a hero. This is going to set a horrible precedent if they don't clear him of any wrongdoing as it will say "take the subway, but don't expect madmen to pay any consequences for anything they do, sorry".

Whites should stop doing good deeds for strangers. It's all about race now.
