  • CEO of Starbucks Howard Schultz,
  • Dell founder CEO Michael Dell,
  • Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman
  • Joshua Kushner
  • Brother of former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and adviser on Middle East issues, Jared Kushner.
  • Other leaders, such as snack company founder Daniel Lubetzky,
  • hedge fund manager Daniel Loeb,
  • billionaire Len Blavatnik
  • real estate investor Joseph Sitt also said that they held a video meeting with Mayor Adams on April 26.

That's a lot of people that seem to stick their nose in other people's business.

Some members also offered to pay for private investigators to assist New York police in handling the protests, the chat log shows — an offer a member of the group reported in the chat that Adams accepted.”

You are telling me that Eric Adams accepted a P.I. help when he could have literally walked to a police station. Then to a detective to solve the case?

Unless. Private investigators were used as counter protestors, then Eric Adams would have a lot to answer for.

7-2

I bet, can guess who those 2 were without even looking.

Justice Clarence Thomas reached back to the earliest days of the Constitution in his majority opinion to note that “the Bureau’s funding mechanism fits comfortably with the First Congress’ appropriations practice.”

Hmmm..... surprising.... maybe public pressure does work.

Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch, Thomas’ colleagues in the court’s conservative bloc, dissented. “The Court upholds a novel statutory scheme under which the powerful Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) may bankroll its own agenda without any congressional control or oversight,” Alito wrote.

No more powerful then the billionaires that get to bribe officials and run the show.

She took up the case so fast, decided to not recuse herself due to biased interests, drops the case anyway.

I imagine everyone with 2 brain cells knew what was happening. At least she doesn't have control of the case anymore.

I imagine getting kicked out of your home to live on the street at 80+ would do wonders for your mental health.

Fair point.

Though counterpoint: if someone is willing to spend $3000+ on an apple computer and cool swag. The ads already worked.

However, if the Q/A on your product is so bad, that someone who spends $3000+ would rather install an ad-block to get rid of that experience, maybe the quality assurance on those ads or products aren't as good as people think.

It feels like someone is pumping the stock up.

Not your average small business owner either, someone with weight is basically defying every metric of long term/short term investment on a stock that has done nothing but depreciate in value over the past year.

On a product, no one uses.

And said, "That's worth at least as much as Amazon."

And Jesus said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Why on earth do they have a monthly subscription on something people maybe use once every 1 or two years?

Who is actually going to pay a netflix sub to see marginally bad data that often?

Like Netflix I understand if you cannot help yourself.

But is there a band of computer nerds out there, that I don't know about, that want play by play updates on how a graphics card is preforming compared to others? On a monthly basis?

Ogolobyak is said to have counted out the stabs aloud until he got to 666.

I thought that part might be a bit over dramatized, but nope, he did it.

"He served in the Storm Z unit for six months... He is disabled after being wounded. He can walk, but the wound was a serious one. He isn’t working yet, he’s recovering. He’s not likely to be drafted back into the special military operation

Keep in mind that Russia is redrafting people with only 80% blindness, so if the Russian army didn't want him after this disability, it either is a very serious disability, or he is lying.

(he) commercial sex overtures by gradually sexualizing conversations and conduct with them. At the same time, the victims were developing serious opiate addictions, using pain medication and, later, heroin. (the priest) waited to propose commercial sex until he knew the victims were so heavily involved in drug abuse that it was impacting their daily lives, physical and mental well-being and ability to maintain a stable school or work life.

This guy needs to be sent to hell with the force of a super nova.

This is also your monthly christian reminder:
Priests: 15+
Drag queens: 0

It included a policy rider that would have nullified a Washington, D.C., law aimed at preventing employer discrimination on the basis of reproductive health care decisions.

Wow.... Just so you know, these guys are so enamored with the idea of taking away more of your rights, it is the make or break point for some of these spending bills.

Some conservatives, meanwhile, opposed the bill because it did not include language to bar funding for a new FBI headquarters.

Why??? They are the ones who screamed not to de-fund the police right?

saying it still “needs to cut spending,” even as it proposes pulling back and repurposing billions of dollars in IRS funding approved by Democrats in the last Congress.

Every dollar we spend on the IRS is reducing the deficit, this is moronic. This will add spending, not take it away.

Union members will get whatever increases were locked in last year, which vary. That means that many workers will get the 3% or 4% hike, and some the 5%, even if they are unionized. But the company will not offer new increases in pay, or vacation accrual benefits, to unionized workers — unless it is forced to concede those based on collective bargaining negotiations.

Not to be mean, but a 5% increase on a $15 an hour job is like an extra $0.75.

Did they think this was bargain power? What the people who are non-unionized every year get a free soda? And that was supposed to make them jealous?

I think they are poking a bear, they should be leaving alone.
