Ice cream cones attract shark attacks. In months that people eat more ice cream cones, there are more shark attacks, therefore.....

@juliancouncil.bsky.social covers the Panthers very well.

Wonder if he would agree the same thing should hold for private companies that the US Gov pays to do research for things like weapons, pharmaceuticals or tech. Should "the people" own those patents as well?

He is also going to have ICE surround every heavily blue polling place on election day, can see it now.

There's an experiment where 2 random people were given $100. They were told they could keep it if they agreed how to split it. Most of the time, they couldn't. Conservative idealogy is built on the idea, people would rather have nothing than see someone they feel equal or better than with more.

Gore is younger than Trump

All done to lower labor costs and increase competition, which helps keep workers from complaining or trying to unionize, by increasing demand for roles, not by increasing salaries (thier cost) but increasing the hiring pool.

"You can make a $100k a year working at the plant down the road or go to college and leave with 200k in debt" is the talking point. Of course, they don't say you have to work 70 hours a week to make that, and the college degree still makes more over a lifetime.

Was making the argument to get "salaries in front of middle school kids". The idea was to wow them with what they could make, "right out of school," and compare that to the debt they would have after college.

And increase the financial burden. This is why Rs are so against student loan forgiveness. Because, the third thing. Paint a picture, especially to young males, that its better financially, right now, to go "straight to work" I was personally in a meeting where a State Manf Association President

You can pay contractors less and then use your benefits to entice the contractors to take your "full time" jobs for less money because they need benefits (which contractors don't typically provide). Second, attack higher education, make it less appealing from a cuktural (they're all just woke)

Manufacturers look at it just like any other resouce, supply and demand. If costs go up, how do you push them back down? Increase your supply options, get more people fughting for your jobs. They did three things from a workfoce planning prospective. First, more contractors.

Manufacturing Associations have been pushing this for years. The reason is that in the early 2000s, manufacturers started to get fewer applications. Salary surveys predicted that companies would have to raise even entry-level manual labor salaries 6, 7, even 10% multiple years to attract talent

The company that owns the pipeline is actually suing the protest groups for demages during the protests. Wonder is this can be introduced into evidence.

What is more likely is that there was/is a billionaire in Trumps ear who can make money off of whatever they export going up in price.
