By "everybody", clearly, he meant himself. He wants his employees to do as much work for as little money as possible, so he can make all the money.

I might be reading too much into the statement, but I live in the general vicinity of Pine Bluff. It is 75% African American and his statement is reflecting a fairly common local attitude towards Pine Bluff. My feeling is its not just bullshit but racist bullshit.

While diapers would certainly be nice, I think she needs a job that pays more than $7.50/hour.

Quite a few Trip Adviser reviews complaining about little things, like drug deals and crack pipes. Sounds cozy.

You misinterpreted what he was saying. He really was saying "every boss in Pine Bluff wants free labor".......

I see a massive PR opportunity for Luv's diapers to donate some diapers to this woman. If I had a twitter account I would tweet this at them.

Meanwhile, Herry Patel, the Days Inn general manager, told Harlan the wage increase is, in his words, "bad for Arkansas. Everybody wants free money in Pine Bluff."

It doesn't really stand, though. More workers would be in unions if there weren't this ongoing, systematic weakening of collective bargaining rights and deliberate efforts to otherwise tamp down union participation.

Or in the alternative, "everybody in every place on earth wants free money." Including the shitbag boss here. Would he not pick up a $20 bill if it were left in a parking lot somewhere?

"Everybody wants free money in Pine Bluff."

You told a minimum wage employee to talk a reporter on the subject of living on minimum wage & you fired her when she said how tough it is? That's like encouraging someone to kick you in the balls & then having them arrested for assault. What the hell did you think would happen?! I know I've used this analogy before…

Yeah....it was a lot easier to be a creepy-ass producer/photographer who coerced young wannabee actresses/models into sex in exchange for relevancy back then.

And they have two kids. The Marchesa label didn't take off until she hooked up with him, and then it started appearing regularly on red carpets. I hope it's all worth it to her.

Agreed.

I would just like to take this moment to remind everyone that Harvey Weinstein is married to Georgina Chapman (aka the designer/head of Marchesa), who is very talented (and also gorgeous). This is a weird fucking pairing, and I would like to make sure everyone knows about it.

Weinstein obviously has a reputation as being a lech. Nevertheless, every instance is a big deal, and should be taken seriously.

1. Harvey Weinstein allegedly groped a model this week. 2. Gravity continues unabated. 3. Turkey sandwiches are excellent. 4. My goddamn samsung cannot hold it's fucking battery.

Man I bet rich old farts miss life before the internet SO MUCH.
