Is this satire? I have a child and the monotonous boredom of dealing with a toddler forces me to suppress the distant memories of freedom to go to raves, fight in foreign militia, get lost in stormy mountains, hitchhike across the plains..

"Investing" in BlockFi was dumb, but it's funny in the year 2022 seeking negative real interest rates (roughly -2%) is supposed to be the obvious tip it must be a scam. The fiscal policies at the fed and federal government re

It seems convenient that the customers in US jurisdiction magically are precisely the customers who weren't (supposedly) defrauded.

He admitted in an interview that Bahaman entities were allowed to withdraw after the other customer's withdrawals were frozen because of something to effect of him being afraid of being in a country where very angry powerful people are

That's a unique thought I hadn't considered yet. Another may be amphetamine(esque) psychosis or narcissism/sociopathy.

Voting ID rules isn't just a state thing. On June 17, 2013, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that states cannot require proof of citizenship in cases of voter registration for federal elections unless the state receives fe

Yes. My story is very similar to this Ashley Cervantes who was also taken to Holy Cross Hospital and billed for a search [0, 1], except in my case they got a warrant which was signed by the judge AFTER (MOST OF) THE SEARCH. Like Ashley, not

DHS, who houses TSA, got a federal search warrant in the middle of the night to forcibly have me "internally examined" at a hospital, during which I was confined/detained for 16 hours cuffed and shackled and strip searched, m

Doubtful if "cars" means motor vehicles, as most of the US has poor public transit thus cycling would be the closest best substitute readily available. The number of cyclists would explode. There would likely also be lots of deat

Indefinite archival of your face every time you cross? It's ripe for abuse for data mining to claim (via AI, expect witness, whatever) at the exact time of crossing your face exhibited behavior which was consistent with criminals, suc

... and now they have a picture of you everytime you fly. Everything you say (and present) can and will be used against you. Your exact appearance will be scrutinized possibly even years later in a way that no TSA agent could possibly remem

The raid IMO is in part to send the signal such businesses are unacceptable and that your assets are not safe there. I would wager this was done for deterrent effect as much as anything. Anonymous safe deposits threaten the paradigm that a

It's been awhile since I read it. I was thinking the judge authorized the FBI to itemize the contents of the boxes "for their return" or something of the sort. No idea what happens if police legally obtain access to evidenc

Keeping things in an anonymous safe-deposit box is in general a terrible idea. They are magnets for thieves, police, usually in urban area where a PI can easily follow you and even when acting fully within the law it could unintentionally l

Except the premise given by bumbly above was that the employee's labor is inelastic as they are locked into the industry, and thus the labor would shoulder all of the tax without change in supply. Your comment is directly calling bumbl

>1) you asked for a forecast of where I thought wages would go. The $130k mark is not what I predicted it would remain at. Yes. And you forecast it will be lower in the scenario you proposed of "monopolistic employment." But

by notch656a 4y ago
How does 130k in comp compare to a "tolerable" compensation? Do you anticipate someone earning above 130k USD is representative of the general public of Americans who would be punished for the railroad strikes? As a matter of imp

Unless the PR tour is some weird plan to buy time while he gets his ducks in a row to arrange his escape and amass his assets. Could also be playing himself off as dumb/broke naive guy until local police get lazy and then trivially bo

Lets imagine what you say is true. The workers are under "monopolistic employment" asymmetrically and any tax is absorbed by the worker (thus their employment is inelastic with respect to wage). Theorize to me what their wages w

I'm not talking about collecting damages for ethics violations. I'm talking about real damages as a result of shutdowns. If you want to impose additional damages beyond that for ethics, then sure maybe you can argue about who wa

If the workers are so specialized in rail that substitutions from rail to not rail are so poor as to not have an external market as you say, then in turn the workers also have a monopoly as external workers are unable to replace them. If w

IANAL and this isn't legal advice, but the example warrants I found issue by a state government only command the officer of the state it happens in to perform the arrest. I'm not certain an officer out of state from the offense w

Just a guess for possible other steps: -1. They acquired fake/stolen KYC credential 0 . Their collateral was anonymized 7. The investigation fails to uncover who it was.

Labor is neither perfectly elastic nor perfectly in-elastic. Therefore it is fallacious to presume it would absolve the shareholders. Taxes on employment, taxed against the employee, actually get split between the employer and employee as

Sweet the risk will command an even higher premium for the labor. Not the first time I've been shot at.

Total comp by class 1 rail employees is $130k a year [0]. I support their right to strike. It should not be impeded in any form. I also support the right for society to take back all the land they freely gave for use of the railroads, and

I would support eliminating both the anti-general strike and anti-collusion laws. It seems unfair to ban collusion by capital but not by labor.

Looking forward to the general strike. It will open up some great position for scabs. I'll be moonlighting in your job; sure I'll probably be shit at it but they'll be desperate to fill the seat.

What? I had to work for a decade until I had anything close to the benefits offered by default in EU or UK, and even then I had to take a lower paying position to work for a company that offered decent work/life balance. Even still, I
