I look forward to working with President Trump when he stands with the working families of this country.
I will vigorously oppose him when he represents the needs of the billionaire class and wealthy special interests.

SEN BERNIE SANDERS: My plan for the Trump presidency. What I will--and won't--do

I was listening to 80's rock today and thought about how much longer songs seemed to be on average. I wonder if there has been an overall shift in music lengths? Maybe correlated with the change of music's role from communal to more personal entertainment?

I liked the top comment "How about just paying your taxes?"
“Will pay any amount.”
Feels like one of those futile pleas we’re going to hear from wealthy people more and more in the era of climate change.

If there is truly a major shortage of skilled tech workers in the US, why did Tesla lay-off over 7,500 American workers last year — including many software developers and engineers at its factory in Austin, Texas—while applying to hire thousands of H-1B guest workers? www.foxnews.com/opinion/sen-...
SEN. BERNIE SANDERS: H1-B visas hurt one type of worker and exploit another. This mess must be fixed
Let's be clear: Multi-billionaire oligarchs in Big Tech should not be allowed to hire guest workers to fill entry-level and mid-level Information Technology jobs.

The FTC issued long-awaited rules requiring companies to display the full price of a hotel room, concert ticket or sporting event up front to customers, rather than hiding any extra charges — often called “junk fees” — until the very end of the checkout process.
