Lesson: when someone else gets a gift, be happy for them, not jealous. The early workers were in no way oppressed or shafted. If they’re too butthurt to want to work the next day for those fair wages, then they’re the ones who will suffer for their pettiness, not the vineyard owner.

If one is already there they ain’t transferring..

Incoming kids still have options. And concerns.

Think of it as crack.. your first couple hits are always free :)

Republican's lesson: show up with 1 minute of the work day to go and collect the full pay to own the libs.

Perception question regarding a small private school:

Tuition is ~$20k (excluding room and board), and they’re offering a year of free tuition to all incoming freshmen due to COVFEFE-19. All existing students will get a $1k deduction for next year.

If you were an existing student, would you be upset enough to go elsewhere? Would you be upset at all?

Caveat to this: the school is known as one of the most ardent Catholic schools in the nation.

20k for tuition must be per semester?

I guess the questions I'd have for the school would be this. If they can afford, for at least one year, to offer free tuition to about a quarter of the school, and knock $1000 a student off for the rest, why is that? Are the tuition charges artificially high and therefore they are able to do this? If not, and if they're going to be running a deficit, then to what extent do I or any other existing students have to pay for that deficit, either this year or in coming years. It fits the parable fine if it's just a gift someone else gets that I don't get. But it doesn't fit it at all if I have to pay for the gift.

Bad assessment. Students don’t tend to have cash - that whole student loan crisis and all. Yet they’re expected to carry the financial burden for all incoming new students. Where else do private, non-Ivey schools get their funding?

Bezos is a completely different type of evil. They wont cross unless say...Amazon buys NBC/Universal or ATT/Time Warner.

Bezos has the ability to be Big Bad...he just isnt there yet. Thank Satan Steve Jobs is dead because if he was in charge we might as well let Jesus take the wheel. That guy has been scum since the 1960s :eek: (though he is a great example of the Hippie -> Yuppie D-bag transition)

I do not understand, with all deference to law and due process, why we didn't haul these guys into the street and gut them with dull knives in 2008. Why is there even one person working in finance left alive to plague us today?

I still want to know how my company is getting relief from the feds. They blasted it out in an email explaining that the forced vacation will be used to get subsidies for companies who are still paying their employees during leave. It’s... either a ****ing lie or they said the quiet part loud.

Seems strange. There are some payroll tax credits to cover the cost of paid leave due to an employee sick with Covid, caring for someone sick, or caring for a kid whose school or daycare closed due to Covid, but I didn’t think it applied to just a general leave.

I thought the same thing. But they were very clear. This isn’t sick time or caring for another person. That’s a separate account.

Which is why I was saying they either said the quiet part loud or they’re lying and it really is for lay-off liability reductions. Either way, this reeks

Unemployment numbers for last week get released at 8:30ET.

To recap, Initial Jobless Claims:
March 1-7 = 211,000 initial claims added to unemployment
March 8-14 = 280,000
March 15-21 = 3.3 Mil
March 22-28 = 6.6 Mil
March 29-April 4 = 6.6 Mil
April 5-11 = 5.3 Mil
Total initial claims since March 1 = 22.3 Million
Click to expand...

April 12-19 = ??

[4.3 Rumored] Would put us at 26.6 initial claims unemployed. A quick Google search shows 128.0 Mil were employed. That would make 20.7% unemployment.
*edit* That would also wipe out all hiring gains since the 2008 economic crisis. Another Obama mark erased by Trump. ;)
