Still zero. Will still be zero tomorrow. Not looking better for Saturday, either. Unless Hammy takes a vacation or something.

Can someone reset the “Days since a Deadspin article about unions” counter?

Whoa now, you think Hamilton wants people to earn money? That would imply inequality

In HamNo’s America, Bernie Sanders is the only one that is allowed to steal $2MM worth of your hard earned wealth.

The problem is that Hamilton should be the final judge of how people spend the money they earned.

Hamilton envies people who can afford $2m worth of jewelry, and he ascribes independent moral significance to his emotions.

A cab driver almost hit me on my bike two years ago when I had to swerve to avoid a pedestrian who stepped into the bike lane on Bleecker. He also honked his horn. The press never reported anything about it.

I love that President Obama handed off the presidency with one of these:

My wife and I have talked to our boys, sure. We’ve tried to emphasize that we’re very privileged not to be the kinds of people that Trump and his administration will target most violently, and that this means we have a responsibility to help take care of the people who will be targeted as best we can. And we’ve…

I think the Muslim Ban gave us a preview of how everything could go to shit in a hurry, when the CBP started ignoring rulings from federal judges. Trump clearly has no problem doing things that are unconstitutional or straight-up against the law, and at some point it’s going to fall on other government branches and…

Yeah, I don’t want to be hyperbolic or anything, but it really does feel like we are in a bit of an NBA Golden Age.

To be clear (and yes, I went to biz school), measuring performance objectively against some standards/goals rather than subjectively is a positive thing. But it’s important to do so in a way that doesn’t penalize the employee for doing their core job, lead towards min/maxing rather than reinforcing the right…

Because aside from perhaps the professional trade unions, most workers aren’t really seeing a value. I worked retail in a supermarket chain that was and still is unionized in my late teens and early 20's. Hell, I was even a union steward for 6 months before I left that job! Back then, I truly believed in the union…

I work for a general contractor, not as a union employee, but in the field as a superintendent. I’ll say here what I’ve said for years: American labor unions do not represent what they used to. They have become business entities focused primarily on the bottom line, and that is no longer the workers they “represent”.

Unions have always looked out for themselves first. Be especially suspicious of any organization of which you are a member that claims to have your best interests in mind.

The larger American Unions have been trash for a few decades now. They might occasionally strike when they absolutely have to, but it’s more about making sure union leadership are all making six figures. I worked at a country club as a kid and there were a lot of high ranking union leaders who were members for $30k+ a…

And most people would be aware that the person standing on the sidewalk shouting is probably a nuisance. The protesters have every right to be there, but this article is absolutely absurd. The author knows that he would have used any comment to make Goldman and its employees look selfish and narcissistic. The people…

Seriously at this point how the fuck is this real life. It’s too much to absorb. Like my new reality has shifted too quickly and I can’t fucking handle it. If I had the money I seriously would just go and herd cows at this point. The world has gone fucking mad.

It’s because today, liberalism means getting to use your preferred pronouns and arguing over who has the least amount of privilege. Classical liberalism has been dead and buried for years, because the kind of liberalism people advocate for today requires just as large a state monstrosity as does today’s conservatism.…

The death of American liberalism, in a classical norms-and-institutions sense- the lack of anyone who is both willing and able to advocate clearly and intelligently for classical liberal republican ideals - has to be one of the most remarkable and unremarked trends in American politics. These are and have been…
