GaryTang··on Facebook will pay up to $14M to settle claims it favored foreign workers
hardly a slap on the wrist, since when has it been ok to take discrimination so lightly?
GaryTang··on Anti-vaccine school in Florida tells kids to stay home if they get a Covid shot
> “An anti-vaccine private school in Miami, Florida, is requiring students who receive a COVID-19 vaccine to stay home for 30 days after each shot“

Pretty reasonable, especially if they get their shot at a hospital because of how unsanitary hospitals can be.

GaryTang··on The wealthiest 10% of Americans own a record 89% of all U.S. stocks
So the top 1% owns almost as much as the 1-10%, wow!
GaryTang··on Jerome Powell Sold More Than a Million Dollars of Stock as Market Was Tanking
Or bigger fish like Nancy Pelosi who discretely trades through her husband.
GaryTang··on At Netflix, a star and employees pressure a top executive over Dave Chappelle
This is a good point but I would say an employee at work is more useful than one who isn’t.

Furthermore, the position these employees are taking shows a serious lack of judgement that might not have been considered during their hiring.

GaryTang··on At Netflix, a star and employees pressure a top executive over Dave Chappelle
Dear Netflix: Please fire every single individual that walks out. There are thousands of individuals who have been rejected from roles at your company that would look at this situation in a rational light.

Love me some top 0.1% propaganda to pin the lower classes against each other. The top 10% have more in common with the median individual than this article makes out. It’s the top 0.1% that are out of control and need to be reigned in.

GaryTang··on The Rich Found Another Way to Pay Less Taxes
I’ll bite when we retreat behind the midpoint on the laffer curve — which I don’t see happening in my lifetime.
GaryTang··on 78% of community bank executives expect the housing market to crash by 2026
For that reason exactly — Trump had to scream and pout publicly in order to keep rates down. Meanwhile, Democrats operate with much more tact & better PR.
GaryTang··on 78% of community bank executives expect the housing market to crash by 2026
I don’t see it happening under the Democrats. They will influence the fed to keep rates low while Biden is in and continue to try and push more stimulus.
GaryTang··on Noam Chomsky: Ireland robbed poor working people of tens of trillions of dollars
If you know, you know.
GaryTang··on Noam Chomsky: Ireland robbed poor working people of tens of trillions of dollars
Agreed. This piece is your standard run-of-the-mill, misguided, Pro-China propaganda.
GaryTang··on China tested a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile in Aug that circled the globe
Missles that are more than five times faster than the speed of sound and you’re worried about the environment?
GaryTang··on Baby boomers are snatching houses out of the hands of millennials
Is it really a problem if boomers are buying second, third, or even fourth homes to rent out? This has long been a common path for the elderly to afford healthcare and living expenses in their golden years rather than relying on the government.

I feel large companies and financial institutions that are buying up swaths of residential properties are trying to find a scapegoat and they have found one in boomers. I imagine we will see more propaganda pieces like this one, pinning the blame on them.

GaryTang··on The problem with America’s upper-middle class and meritocracy
Yup. And nevermind the top 1%, it’s the top 0.01% that are calling the shots. Taxation any lower is just misguided.
GaryTang··on Mao Quotes on the Professional Managerial Class
May the tens of millions who died from the biggest mass murderer in history, RIP. And let there memory always serve as a reminder of what the path of socialism looks like.

GaryTang··on Analysis of Walgreens' stated reasoning for closing SF stores
Same business, different boss.
GaryTang··on In Gavin Newsom's California, Covid Rules Are for Those Without Political Power
Not much to discuss. Majority is in agreement.
GaryTang··on The Great Resignation Is Accelerating
How are people paying for everything? Is everyone just trading crypto to eat?
GaryTang··on Is my Facebook activity fucking my finances?
Is this really far fetched? Did you not see what Biden is proposing? Anyone with more than $600 in their bank accounts will have their transactions monitored. They will be mining that data asap.
GaryTang··on [dead]
Mars?
GaryTang··on Do the Chinese “own” our electric grids and other infrastructures?
We don’t need Chinese Communism either. If you like it so much, go see what it’s really like.
GaryTang··on Analysis of Walgreens' stated reasoning for closing SF stores
> "They are saying that’s the primary reason, but I also think when a place is not generating revenue, and when they’re saturated — S.F. has a lot of Walgreens locations all over the city — so I do think that there are other factors that come into play,” Mayor London Breed told reporters Wednesday.

https://youtu.be/2jrnhaLzCqA

There are dozens of videos of theft in SF Walgreens captured on YouTube. Can someone explain to the mayor that your revenue is going to decrease when criminals are walking out with garbage bags full of merchandise?

Per typical, SF Democrats are trying to cover up their underreporting of crimes.

GaryTang··on Sir David Amess, Conservative MP, Assassinated at Constituency Meeting in UK
>That region has had neo-nazi problems for many years.

I would wager inhouse power dynamics or foreign influences as a more likely motive.

The gender gap is real but not in the way MSM presents.

GaryTang··on How A $2M Condo in Brooklyn Ends Up with a $157 Tax Bill
Yet there are still people who see a flat tax as unfair.
GaryTang··on At least four people killed in bow and arrow attack in Norway
From eesmith:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_imprisonment_in_Norway > The indeterminate penalty (civilian penal code), called "preventive detention" (Norwegian: forvaring), is set at up to 21 years' imprisonment, with no eligibility for parole for a time period not exceeding 14 years. If the prisoner is still considered dangerous after serving the original sentence, the detention can be extended by five years at a time. Renewal of the detention every five years can in theory result in actual life imprisonment.

So it can actually be longer.

GaryTang··on Norway bow-and-arrow attack being treated as terrorism
I stand corrected.
