federal minimum wage
why do we even have such a thing? with the wild swings in cost of living across this country it simply makes no sense.
what does make sense is to have a baseline minimum wage with a multiplier based on local cost of living. pick the largest 100 cities by population, adjust them every decade to account for people moving. this way if you live in the most expensive areas, your minimum wage might be 2.8x the baseline. and if you live in a poorer area of the country, your minimum wage might be .78x the baseline wage.
then adjust the baseline/multipliers every year just like social security.
oh my!
so you’re saying Trump’s Truth Social was just a big cash-grabbing scam?! shocking.

China Eastern Airlines flight MU5735
based on very limited and early information, to me it seems like this crash was human-caused, cockpit intrusion perhaps.
goodbye MetroPCS
so i was still stuck on a $60 plan from this new phone. contrary to the price shown it was only about $110 out the door and i love having a stylus.
tried to dumb the plan down to the $30 level, had multiple issues first with account login, and then trying to get the plan changed. decided to fuck it and bought another 2GB sim from tello.com for $9 a month.
do better, metro.
helping eliminate the concussion problem in the NFL
it’s simple really, instead of trying to build a safe helmet (which will never happen) just eliminate helmets altogether. rugby has about 1/3 the concussions that football has.
problem is that would “soften” the game and therefore cost money. put differently, this means that the owners value money over the long-term health of their players.
is anyone surprised?
