I think it's hilarious you " lock 'em up and throw away the key" righties of a few years ago are now concerned for the whiny felons of today. Mellis never said he was beaten. Sullivan denies any connection to Antifa. He was also arrested as he should have been.Quote:

What is it you guys always said? " If you can't do the time, don't do the crime".Quote:

Is regulating speech and vandalizing the past a sign of liberal tolerance or authoritarianism?
Also, can someone here provide their definition of Fascism? I don’t think anyone who uses it (especially Antifa) really knows what it is. I see plenty of references to the National Socialist German Workers Party but they weren’t Fascists. Authoritarian Socialist with a sociopathic occult fetish sure. However, not actual Fascists. The Italians were fascists at the time. One thing the Nazis, Communists and Fascists hated was Capitalism and the idea of limitations on central authority.
Nope. Sullivan is a known Antifa member and the Nazis are not American rightwing but at least you’re acknowledging he was there stirring up trouble. Also nice try at deflecting with the righties “lock em up” reference. That was Biden in the 90s and it certainly isn’t my position.Quote:

The owner of the Muckraking Yellow Journalistic Outrage Infested Washington Post everyone- Jeff Beelzebub Bezos.
Do as I say and make me rich while I publish unbalanced garbage, but don’t look into what I do with my company.
Stop shopping at Amazon people and support local stores.
From the New York Times, in a rare piece of journalism:
“ In his drive to create the world’s most efficient company, Jeff Bezos discovered what he thought was another inefficiency worth eliminating: hourly employees who spent years working for the same company.
Longtime employees expected to receive raises. They also became less enthusiastic about the work, Amazon’s data suggested. And they were a potential source of internal discontent.
Bezos came to believe that an entrenched blue-collar work force represented “a march to mediocrity,” as David Niekerk, a former Amazon executive who built the company’s warehouse human resources operations, told The Times, as part of an investigative project being published this morning. “What he would say is that our nature as humans is to expend as little energy as possible to get what we want or need.”
In response, Amazon encouraged employee turnover. After three years on the job, hourly workers no longer received automatic raises, and the company offered bonuses to people who quit. It also offered limited upward mobility for hourly workers, preferring to hire managers from the outside.
As is often the case with one of Amazon’s business strategies, it worked.
Turnover at Amazon is much higher than at many other companies — with an annual rate of roughly 150 percent for warehouse workers, The Times’s story discloses, which means that the number who leave the company over a full year is larger than the level of total warehouse employment. The churn is so high that it’s visible in the government’s statistics on turnover in the entire warehouse industry: When Amazon opens a new fulfillment center, local turnover often surges. ” The new Times story — by Jodi Kantor, Karen Weise and Grace Ashford — is full of fresh details, including internal company statistics, posts from internal message boards and interviews with Amazon workers and executives, both current and former. The story focuses on JFK8, a sprawling Staten Island warehouse, as it coped with the coronavirus pandemic and the surge in demand for online shopping.
If nothing else, I recommend you read the article to hear the story of the Castillo family. While Alberto Castillo, a 42-year-old husband, father and Amazon worker, was in the hospital suffering from Covid-related brain damage, the company sent him an email ordering him back to work. “Haven’t they kept track of what happened to him?” his wife, Ann, wondered.
At Amazon, workers sometimes find out about a new shift only the day before, scrambling their family routine. When workers want to get in touch with human resources by phone, they must navigate an automated process that can resemble an airline customer-service department during a storm. Employees are constantly tracked and evaluated based on their amount of T.O.T., or time off task. One employee who had earned consistent praise was fired for a single bad shift.
What a great guy!! :-(
Who are these righties that you speak of that have advocated for solitary confinement and the abuse of prisoners? Do you have examples of people on this board who took those positions? Do you understand that being tough on crime is not advocating for civil rights violations? I think once again this is an example of some trumped up stereotype you cooked up in that noggin of yours. You literally make shit up.Quote:

On a monthly basis, the producer price index for final demand rose 0.8%, ahead of the Dow Jones estimate of 0.6%. Producer prices measure the prices paid to producers as opposed to prices on the consumer level.
Meanwhile, May's retail sales data fell 1.3%, compared to an expectation of a 0.7% decline per economists polled by Dow Jones.”
Yay! #BidensAmerica is going just great!!!
