That's a really bad idea based on the headline alone. Terribly regressive and cheap gas is essential for current economies.

In a sort-of related vein, John Hancock has implemented a life insurance program in which you get credits for healthy lifestyle that can lower your life insurance premiums over time...except you wear a fitbit and send the data to their program administrator.

Re: Completely Unwoven: Business, Economics, and Tax Policy 4.0
So there's a political consensus to move forward with the minimum wage hike while there's a nearly two-thirds majority of businesses saying that they're either reducing the number of employees, reducing the hours of existing employees, closing shop or relocating to Arlington, VA, in the wake of the current min. wage increase and expecting the next round either schedule for implementation or expected based upon Mayor Bowser's State of the District address.
Basically, DC is still a complete sh!+ show but now it's expected to get worse as they're preparing to create an event greater divide between the haves and have-nots.
ETA: And I was more excited when I first thought the address for that linked site was for free bacon.

I think I've found a new business for an entrepreneurial body-nazi --> wear about a dozen FitBits for subscribers. Charge them $30 per month to run up the meter for them.

You would think the obvious solution is to look at the cost of things rather than to throw more money at the problem. Oh wait, inflation is necessary.

They don't make enough bleach in the world for that. You're definitely going to want to replace the pool and cleanse the earth by burning the destruction waste of the old pool.

"Imagine a Carthage sown with salt, and all the sowers gone, and the seeds lain however long in the earth, till there rose finally in vegetable profusion leaves and trees of rime and brine. What flowering would there be in such a garden? Light would force each salt calyx to open in prisms, and to fruit heavily with bright globes of water–-peaches and grapes are little more than that, and where the world was salt there would be greater need of slaking. For need can blossom into all the compensations it requires. To crave and to have are as like as a thing and its shadow. For when does a berry break upon the tongue as sweetly as when one longs to taste it, and when is the taste refracted into so many hues and savors of ripeness and earth, and when do our senses know any thing so utterly as when we lack it? And here again is a foreshadowing–-the world will be made whole. For to wish for a hand on one’s hair is all but to feel it. So whatever we may lose, very craving gives it back to us again."

A report from EPI? Excuse me if I question its validity...
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/10/u...um-wage-illustrates-web-of-industry-ties.html
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Employment_Policies_Institute
Just one excerpt from SourceWatch -
In April 2014, EPI began an ad campaign in Washington, DC against the proposed minimum wage increase.[8] It includes a TV ad with a fortune teller who tells an actor portraying President Obama that “It doesn’t take a fortune teller to know what happens when you raise the minimum wage,” a radio commercial, and a mobile billboard on Pennsylvania Avenue between the Capitol and White House.
EPI has has been widely quoted in news stories regarding minimum wage issues, and although a few of those stories have correctly described it as a "think tank financed by business," most stories fail to provide any identification that would enable readers to identify the vested interests behind its pronouncements. Instead, it is usually described exactly the way it describes itself, as a "non-profit research organization dedicated to studying public policy issues surrounding employment growth" that "focuses on issues that affect entry-level employment." In reality, EPI's mission is to keep the minimum wage low so Berman's clients can continue to pay their workers as little as possible

Gawker declared bankruptcy today. Nick Denton put it up for sale.
Maybe next time you should think before publishing a sex tape. I feel bad for the writers, but this couldn't happen to a bigger piece of **** than Nick Denton.
