It is contrary to Anglo-American moral tradition. You do not have a right to take your life. The natural right to life is the only truly inalienable natural right. It was gifted to you. "The bestower of a gift has a right to regulate its disposal."

Perhaps the most wild business paper you’ll ever read.

“Examination of the option trading leading up to September 11 reveals that there was an unusually high level of put buying. This finding is consistent with informed investors having traded options in advance of the attacks.”

“The maximum value of this measure for AMR or UAL during the target period is at the 0.99 quantile of its daily distribution and the 0.96 quantile of the distribution of its greatest daily values over four trade date windows.”

TLDR: The level of put buying on American and United Airlines in the days before 9/11 was greater than roughly 99% of all comparable trading days in the historical record.

This analysis is laughably misleading.

The Department of Labor’s position is that current H-1B prevailing wage floors are artificially set **too low**, which means employers can often hire H-1B workers below what similarly qualified American workers earn in the same occupation, experience level, and geographic market.

Pointing out that H-1B salaries are slightly above today’s artificially low floor is irrelevant and frankly, intellectually dishonest. The relevant question is whether H-1Bs are being paid what comparable American workers actually earn. Multiple studies argue that they’re not.

And raising the wage floor doesn’t “exclude skilled workers”. It requires employers to pay wages that reflect the market rate for middle- and upper-skilled labor, which is what the program was intended to do. If an H-1B worker is truly indispensable, employers will pay the higher wage. If not, they can hire locally or pay more competitively.

But as we’ve pointed out, this new wage rule isn’t likely to accomplish much. Employers can still engage in SOC-code arbitrage by selecting job classifications that produce the lowest prevailing wage, rely on private wage surveys to generate favorable wage determinations, and take advantage of the fact that the USDOL generally does not verify prevailing wage claims during the Labor Condition Application process.

By law, the Department of Labor’s review of LCAs is largely limited to checking for completeness and obvious errors, and applications generally must be processed within seven days. As a result, many of the underlying wage representations receive little scrutiny at that stage.

Cato’s “analysts” know all of this. Yet they’re paid to make a fuss over every little effort that attempts to expose the cheap-labor scam, largely to justify their existence, because they have few career prospects outside of doing exactly that.

“Neil Gorsuch has made a splash lately doing rounds of interviews to promote his new children’s book on the Declaration of Independence. But his view of history leaves little room for nuance or complexity.”

@wil_da_beast630 We’re well aware.

And while it’s possible to imagine an America where we have to start killing each other over political differences, surely we don’t have to start with the other side’s infants.

Up to 90% of India’s H1B visa applications contain fraudulent information or involve unqualified applicants, a former official tells Newsweek.

So she did a bunch of sex drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll stuff, lied about it, got married to a foreign government agent, had an affair with Destiny, and came to the conclusion that the problem is traditional Christian morality and marriage. Lol.

@RWApodcast Because modern presidents always want to fix it, but they fail to and demonstrate a key problem in America. None of the modern presidents were reasonable enough to simply call men to clean it. They insist on following regulations, morality in hiring, conducting studies, etc.

[Oilfield Rando @Oilfield_Rando]

Men shouldn’t bail on the children they father and refuse to support them.

Men shouldn’t fuck their brother’s widow and introduce her to crack.

Men should get a real job instead of trying to grift the political world with a fake PR-firm-manufactured Everyman facade.

[Wannabe Defense Atty @StrictLiable]

The standard should be extremely harsh for armed robbery. However, rarely mitigation needs to be considered. Armed robbers committing the act under circumstances that most man can appreciate, even if they disagree with, exist. These rare cases are never armed teen robbers tho.

[memetic_sisyphus @memeticsisyphus]

There is a a case to be more lenient on certain types of murders or assaults than on premeditated armed robberies. It’s plausible a relatively normal and potentially productive member of society goes too far in a heat of passion. A bad bar fight, a cheating spouse, a drug filled stupor, etc… a one time slip up caused by overwhelming emotions. Not great, but I understand how an otherwise normal person could do something like that, and circumstance permitted allow for some leniency.

Armed robbery has too many opportunities for reflection to be sympathetic. You have to have the idea, find the weapon, get some friends together, make a plan, find a victim then threaten the victims life with a gun. It’s not born from a moment of madness. It’s a calculated devaluation of your fellow man, a selfishness that values a few dollars over someone else’s life.

[Wannabe Defense Atty @StrictLiable]

These exact circumstances are why I decided to purchase and read multiple books from judges and defense attorneys long dead. I have heard and seen far too much cross examinations that make me think, there is no way that was strategically wise.

[Shipwreckedcrew @shipwreckedcrew]

Defense Counsel Cross --
Q: "Mr. Witness -- is it your testimony that my client committed a crime in your presence?
A: "Yes".
Q: Did I hear you correctly to say that you witnessed my client do that?
A: "Yes".
Q: And you knew it was my client because you worked with him for 5 years?
A: "Yes"
Q: "And you have no doubt that you had a clear, unobstructed view of what happened?"
A: "Yes"

No more questions your Honor."

Not too much of an exaggeration.

Imagine defending this guy who thinks, and perhaps rightfully so, he has the right to forcibly remove this kid, but instead of trying to remove him from the property, slaps him and tries to drown him in the lake.

[Paul @WomanDefiner]

I've never seen anything this crazy personally but there are a ton of boomers who think they own the water off their lake front property which is insane. I've experienced hissy fits but nothing this insane.

Pro-abortion people have no idea how abortion actually happens.

In the late term abortion of little Nugget, he or she would have had to been delivered. They just killed him or her first likely by inducing a heart attack.

In every abortion, a dead baby must come out of you.

Me: "There's a precedent for this, the Freedmen's Bureau protecting the Second Amendment rights of freedmen during Reconstruction."

Donohue: "I reject that argument, and you are co-opting the language of civil rights."

*does not elaborate at all on why he "rejects" that argument besides saying he does*

Totally unserious from a Stanford professor. Serious scholarship has been written on this topic including books like:

Nicholas J. Johnson's Negroes and the Gun: The Black Tradition of Arms (2014); Stephen P. Halbrook’s, Freedmen, the Fourteenth Amendment, and the Right to Bear Arms, 1866-1876 (1998); Charles E. Cobb Jr.’s This Nonviolent Stuff’ll Get You Killed: How Guns Made the Civil Rights Movement Possible (2014); and Akinyele Omowale Umoja’s, We Will Shoot Back: Armed Resistance in the Mississippi Freedom Movement (2013).
