Short rates are controlled by the Fed and they - as Trump has said many times - raised too fast, too far, and have been too slow to cut.

“When assumptions about how the world works are shattered, a global downturn is often the result.”

I’m very pro-union. I don’t think a union makes sense for us. Does that work?

No. It doesn’t. The phrase is “good healthcare and a 401k.”

There’s this stigma now about union’s only being for failing industries and companies, possibly because unions are associated now with manufacturing companies, teamsters, and now writers and journalists.

Not to mention that asking the highest-profile (and likely paid) people at a company may have no reflection on what the rank and file think.

If he has said something like, “I am pro-union. I don’t think a union makes sense for us. However, I support my co-workers right to determine if it is an avenue we should pursue.” That would be fine, However, it was in response and implicit support of his bosses threats against those who would seek unionization.

Also, you don’t form a union because your boss is an asshole. You do it because your company is owned by The Chernin Group and collective bargaining is going to offer you a lot more protection than a real nice boss.

My guess is Barstool fans have a pretty nuanced take on union advocates in sports. I’m guessing they think of Andy Messersmith as being a team-first, scrappy and hustling labor man as opposed to Curt Flood and his athletic, showboating, individualistic take on worker’s rights. 

No one ever formed a union because they wanted to make less money and have less job security. Your boss keeps you around because the value you produce is more than what he pays you, a union just helps ensure that gap is smaller. 

That's actually a really good question, the answer being: it depends what he says about it.

Wait, you're YOUNGER than me? Dang you aged fast homie

his actual connection to Epstein is fucking weird, tho

Solidarity with others in the industry, ensuring that good workplace conditions continue if there’s a change in management, giving workers a voice in governance decisions.

Don’t bullshit me. That’s Mark Davis with glasses and a slightly better haircut. 

Even worse, Latinos were a winnable constituency for the Republican Party, precisely because most of them didn’t see their race as the most-salient part of their identity. Latinos are a lot more diverse and sundry lot than is commonly assumed in the media, in no small part because place-of-origin plays a huge impact…

The most ridiculous thing is in terms of actual political believes most Latinos lean extremely conservative due to their predominately Catholic religion. The Republicans have to work to alienate these people and god damn if they aren’t trying their hardest.

Spare me the “a registry would invariably be used to seize guns from law abiding people.”
