HE SELLS MONOGRAMMED COFFEE THERMOSES (PROBABLY).

fashion touches on social relationships, politics, trade, labor, and a host of symbolism. any and all of these things are worthy of a great joan didion-like think piece. all of them are. every month. and the highest profile magazine about fashion on the planet chooses to pretend there's nothing to say about any of…

having worked at conde last year, and having spent A LOT of time with the vogue people, there is one thing that i simply don't understand: why, unique to conde's high profile magazines, vogue NEVER has articles that are of merit, are worth sharing with your friends, or move the needle culturally or politically. The…

As someone who has anxiety issues, I can say with certainty that it has never made me think it's ok to murder someone. It has made me have panic attacks, cry a lot, and not be able to breathe.

My favorite is how his gut actually comes around before the bat does.

Here's the other reason I did a Foods That Should Not Exist: since this is the column that landed me this job, and a trip out of the nightmare that is the food industry, I thought it only fitting that my last full feature as a Recruit (other than next Monday's BCO) be a probably-overdue edition of Foods That Should…

Has Tina Turner ever performed there?

Why the fuck are people weirdly anti-Zimmerman? He might be the most innocuous human being in sports! That's like hating spackle (an apt analogy since he has basically the same personality as spackle).

People are not comodities; its wage control, which we already do at the lower end of the labor spectrum. A price is a value on something you buy, which can be applied to labor from a management standpoint, but no one is buying their expertise; its a reward they give themselves.

I think what you're getting at, whether you meant to or not, is to point out that the value a marginal dollar is higher to the line worker than it is to the CEO. In an odd way, an overpaid line worker can be (not necessarily is) more harmful to the macroeconomy in the near term than an overpaid CEO because it drives…

Actually, you're an idiot who reacts on the idea of simplicity and is too lazy to study a system.

Regulating the salary of less than 1% of the workforce is not a price control. In fact, it encourages the opposite. 70% of the US economy is based on consumer spending. That means that the middle class that buys goods are the actual job creators as they both work for and subsequently spend capital. The practices that…

Here's the Times article that cites the "one out of 18 men" statistic:

Well, it's a wage control (or, more pedantically, salary control). But at any rate, you're right that wage-price controls have been implemented in the past to combat inflation, usually without much effect. James isn't advocating for sub-market rates to control inflation, though; he's saying that the mechanism for…

Yes. And even though we account for only 5% of the world population, we comprise roughly 25% of the world's prisoners. And most of them aren't locked up for violent crimes, either. This is the fruit of the Drug War, and the for-profit prisons that (via the 13th amendment to the constitution) use legal slave labor from…
