And also he’d have to go to the bank every week to cash it. Then to pay bills he’d have to go and pay cash for money orders at 7-11. otoh he's lying.

Unless the government is actually handing him a paper check for his pay, he’d have to have an account somewhere. The fact that one doesn’t show up makes me wonder what Caribbean island he banks with.

According to the bombshell report, Johnson “has never reported a checking or savings account in his name, nor in the name of his wife or any of his children,” and nor does he disclose any assets or stocks.

This. I am much more confident that Johnson is blatantly not disclosing his holdings for reasons that make sense only to him, rather than that he has no money.

I am flummoxed that the take here is that Johnson is somehow one of those “broke boys”, instead of some mixture of the evils of Republican loopholes (and competent exploitation thereof) and the torrent of improper disclosure (and other financial) scandals even Jez has been covering

This can be said for the vast majority of “off road” vehicles people drive. 

There are some narrow Starbucks drive throughs that will be pretty treacherous. 

I’d never seen the full-frontal view of this thing, and now I kind of wish I had not.  Ugh, terrible.  And to think this will be the last thing many a deer and pedestrian will ever see.

Let’s be honest with ourselves though. The 15 people with more money than sense who will buy these monstrosities aren’t going to be taking them off-road. They’re doing it for the attention and the most serious road obstacle they will ever see will be speed bumps in mall parking lots.

I prefer “the Fanta Menace”

If only I could give extra stars for Cheetolini.

His education and the reputations of his parents are what got SBF in the room with monied people. His perverse obsession with promoting his superiority led to the arrogance Wall Street loves to hand money to. Ellison is just another example of paper education that didn’t teach an ounce of deductive reasoning.

The Repub Party...formerly all gung-ho for the military (not anymore), completely anti-Commie (not these Putin ass-kissers), and for less government on people’s backs (not these big gov anti-women’s-free-choice Donald-nazis) and now they’re the exact opposite.

I need this gif, it expresses things I have difficulty putting into words.

This.

I have a feeling this line, “average new hires will earn six-figure salaries by their 4th year.” Is not hard salary, but total benefits package value. $100k salary on a 40 hour work week is $48/hour. I don’t think you are going from $21/hour to $48/hour in 4 years. 

The 170k you are thinking of is UPS (not Fedex which pays way less), and that’s not the take home pay. That’s the value of all of the benefits, and it’s also the top of the payscale. Actual UPS seasoned UPS drivers pay is around $100k.

New car buyers probably do adhere closely to that rule. It’s just that new car buyers also have household incomes many multiples of the median. Something like 29% of the entire income earned by Americans is earned by the top 8% of households. Meaning, that other 71% had to be shared among the other 92% of people.

But they do actually cause increases in congestion, even Uber and Lyft will admit that. They have made traffic worse.
