“Also, I was trying to get our entire team to follow Kap’s protest and would have except our chickenshit QB thought it would be bad for his advertising value to say anything of interest about anything controversial.”

To put it succinctly, the problem is not about training & employing prison laborers at a fair rate to produce useful things for resale, it is about conniving corpoate managers making big bucks for peddling shoddy products made using innmate labor.

In this case, I think that the inmates workers have very few, or no responsibilities. After 35 years in a mechanical goods production factory, I’ve learned that the assembly line workers do what they are trained to do, and what their foreman makes them do. A line worker (and this is valid for the inmates as well)…

Yeah, I’m pretty certain it’s not the inmate part of the story that’s the problem...

Slave labor is awesome?

Two grand?!

“Oh my god youths.” - My early 30s woman words (spoken out loud in my office, for maximum appearance of insanity) when I read your comment. You are right, and they are going to end up murdered.

Barry, you should stick to your hot takes and soccer stories. You know nothing of the female plight! Magary on the other hand...he’s a FOR SURE hey-man!

The Secret Service...had to protect a reporter...FROM A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE AND HIS CROWD. I just....

Preach. I live with my coworker now, and when we started things a couple years ago I was a bit concerned. I weigh the odds though. How difficult would it be for me to get a similar job (status, pay) in the industry after this if things go sour with her? Relatively Easy. How easy would it be to find another girl like…

looks like you’ve got the long game

Normally, I don’t recommend shitting where you eat, but when you’re hardworking, dedicated and surrounded by other hardworking, dedicated folks, sometimes fucks are gonna happen.

Kick the pearl clutchers to the curb and make the Olympics nude again!

If I spend $10,000/yr in fuel and my marginal tax rate is 20%, that means I save $2,000/yr on taxes. Overall I’m -$8,000 in fuel expense reduced by the tax deduction it got me.

If I spend $5,000/yr in fuel with the same marginal tax rate, that means I save $1,000/yr on taxes. Overall I’m -$4,000 in fuel expense reduced…

You clearly have no idea how tax deductions and operating cost work.
