Business, Economics, and Taxes: Capitalism. Yay? >=(

Tech Bro Bubble is bursting...lasted about as long as it took to actually listen to these nimrods talk. Andrew Yang embarrassing himself in politics and Musk's implosion with "X" and soon to be Tesla are the beginning of the end. The only people who take these clowns seriously think Joe Rogan is some sort of intellectual.

Ups reach deal? Please I have to ship something

It may have already. I'm not sure VCs are funding anybody new. The industry has already followed the earlier tech iterations of settling into rentiers with huge legal teams pulling the ladder up behind them and pouring scalding oil on any innovation outside the clique.

Yeah we did. We would’ve been on strike August 1.

I actually think the collapse of SVB was the first domino. Sure there are other lenders, but they were the primary institution who would give money to almost any startup that had a slick pitch. In the aftermath, other lenders are being a lot more cautious about what they will approve.

SVB had a mark to market issue when the yield on treasury’s increased. For an organization their size they did a horrible job managing interest rate risk.

Did I read this right or was it a typo: truck drivers could get up to 170k by the end of their contract?

Total cost to UPS not their salary.

Doubtful to that, RPCD’s can make six figures now but only with a hefty amount of OT. Guess it depends on what the top rate is some places.

Reported today that the United States is pumping more oil than ever before. Biden's WAR on energy continues.

170 is indeed a lot of money. Glad they're getting it. I'm surprised but I think drew might be right that it's total comp.

It's time for guillotines, but only for the private colleges.

Leadership positions in the U.S. are disproportionately held by graduates of a few highly selective private colleges. Could such colleges — which currently have many more students from high-income families than low-income families — increase the socioeconomic diversity of America’s leaders by changing their admissions policies? We use anonymized admissions data from several private and public colleges linked to income tax records and SAT and ACT test scores to study this question.

Children from families in the top 1% are twice as likely to attend an Ivy-Plus college (Ivy League, Stanford, MIT, Duke, and Chicago) as those from middle-class families with comparable SAT/ACT scores. Two-thirds of this gap is due to higher admissions rates for students with comparable test scores from high-income families; the remaining third is due to differences in rates of application and matriculation. In contrast, children from high-income families have no admissions advantage at flagship public colleges. The high-income admissions advantage at private colleges is driven by three factors: (1) preferences for children of alumni, (2) weight placed on non-academic ratings, which tend to be higher for students applying from private high schools that have affluent student bodies, and (3) recruitment of athletes, who tend to come from higher-income families.

Also, who the hell puts Duke into that group? Swap for Cal Tech, please.

Duke is actually a sleeper when it comes to academics... They are the rare "Smart" school that actually excels in the modern, P-5 world.

No. Duke is wildly overrated. They are roughly equivalent to schools like Virginia and UNC. They just have enormous dollars behind them to shine up the image, and there is a desperate need to find some southern private school that does not suck. It's all just hype.

I'm more impressed by UT-Austin than Duke. Maybe even Vandy.
