Google – The Hubris of Diversity

Google’s purported nurturing of diverse opinions is nothing more than a hollowed out shell of a philosophy.  In fact, except for the masks, it’s no different than the Berkeley or Portland AntiFa rioters that prevented Milo Yiannopoulos or Ann Coulter from speaking.

Google on Google – the irony quotient here is “High”.

Nostalgia – The Automat v. “Fight for $15 Dollar” Minimum Wage

The Washington Post, interestingly, points out that “‘Free lunches’ like the $15 minimum wage may hurt the people they’re meant to help.”

TANSTAAFL. With self-serv Ordering Kiosks, kitchen automation, and factory pre-preparation, can it be so long before the old idea of “The Automat” is new again?

Take the proposal to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, a policy endorsed in the Democratic Party’s new “Better Deal” platform.

An increase in the federal minimum wage, stuck at $7.25 for eight years, is long overdue. But more than doubling it would likely result in massive job losses and cuts in work hours.

We’ve already seen preliminary evidence that raising wages in Seattle to $13 has produced sharp cuts in hours, leaving low-wage workers with smaller paychecks. And that’s in a high-cost city. Imagine what would happen if Congress raised the minimum wage to $15 nationwide.

#SCSA-Saturday Celebrity Sanctimony Award ~ Reebok

It was hard to wait until Saturday to unveil this worthy bit of liberal sanctimony, but here we are and here it is.  This should fall under the “pot calling the kettle black” theory of body-shaming.  Here’s Reebok criticizing President Trump.

Anecdotally, to prove my hypothesis that Reebok deserves this “it’s OK for us to shame your body until it meets our standards” award, by noting the first page of their sports bra catalogue.  I defy you to find one model not deserving of the comment “You’re is such good shape….beautiful.”  Or consider some of their spokesmodels….

Nope. No hypocrisy here, Reebok. None at all…
