Large companies don't give across the board bonuses on a regular basis. I am 100% certain they wouldn't have happened. They also didn't necessarily happen out of the goodness of the companies heart. A lot of the companies that gave them did it specifically to get good PR for Trump because they wanted something in return from the Govt. There are plenty of reasons to hate everything about the tax cut, $170B vs $6B isn't one of them.

Yeah, it is. You don't get to choose why I hate something. I do. And there is a lot to hate about those numbers. Cause even if they're totally wrong we know those numbers are nowhere near close to each other.

Wages were already going up. My company raised the wages of the people cleaning toilets and emptying my trash to a $15 starting wage a few years ago.

Do you live in Seattle or some other major city? Because I don’t think wages are going up in most locales.

"Most locales" are cities.

No, I live on an island off the coast of Maine.

Wouldn't the unions support giving the limited bonuses to those who paid into the union the longest, and the company wants to be a bit more fair about it to all employees? With the way airlines have been with finances in the past number of years, I'm shocked it's fiscally sound to give out bonuses.

Quarterly, performance-based bonuses? So arcane. Why reward performance. Why not just go with the equivalent of the lucky sperm club.

I think the problem is we do understand you.
Hicks have basically become blacks. You have enormous power within your political coalition but outside of it your numbers make you irrelevant. Your symbolic clout is way, way more important that your economic clout. It's like this famous picture that righties love so much:

Looks like the country is a red sea, right? Well, leaving aside that the blue districts have 55% of the population, we also have 70% of the GDP of the nation. That great red sea is an economic after thought, and the little it contributes is all because of government pork that Members have delivered back to their voters. The red sea, left on its own without blue welfare, has the economic might and health of Mexico.

All that red sea does is produce agricultural products and energy.
Who needs those anyway.

You are familiar with the history of colonies on this continent, yes?
Texas has long pondered (and would more than likely be the first domino).

I'm guessing Dallas, Houston and Austin would rather stay.
So the idea would be more about a networked cities approach. 'A network city evolves when two or more previously independent cities, potentially complementary in function, strive to cooperate and achieve significant scope economies aided by fast and reliable corridors of transport and communications infrastructure. Creative network cities place a higher priority on knowledge-based activities like research, education and the creative arts.' http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00420989550013103
Then you can have the red space - and you may even want walls to keep out us undesirables.

Yeah, they only become prosperous when their industry rises and supplants raw materials as their economic driver.
Your energy is worthless without the data centers, factories, and high rises that use it.

How about one of those bubbles, like the Simpsons movie? Walls are just as good at keeping people out as they are at keeping people in. Plus, with the bubble, you don't have to worry about being affected by that evil "global warming".

Because a giant glass dome would have absolutely no warming effect on the contents of that dome? I'd swear there was a name for structures designed with that very purpose in mind. What was that term again?
