Hotel dishwasher awarded $21 million after boss made her work on Sundays – Sun Sentinel
Thursday, January 17, 2019But Pierre, a 60-year-old mother of six children in Miami, isn’t likely to end up getting all that money. Instead, it’ll be more in the range of $500,000, because punitive damages are capped in federal court, her lawyer said.”The jury was not aware of the cap,” said Pierre’s Miami-based lawyer, Marc Brumer. “They thought that they punished Hilton hotel with $21 million [in damages].”She’d get up to $300,000 in punitive damages — that’s the limit in federal court — in addition to $500,000 awarded for emotional distress and $35,000 in back wages, Brumer said. From all that, Pierre could get about $500,000 after legal fees are factored in, Brumer estimated.

ECONOMICS: “Tax the rich” prevents “capital formation” and makes us all poorer
Thursday, January 17, 2019https://mailchi.mp/tomwoods/high-taxes?e=39307912ab
Tom Woods · PO Box 701447 · Saint Cloud, FL 34770 · USA
FROM HIS EMAIL BLAST OF 2019-Jan-16 10:26PM
*** begin quote ***
Here’s my unfashionable opinion: I believe in tax cuts for the rich. (I believe in tax cuts for everyone.) I believe the rich are human beings with rights, and not cash cows to be milked by people who had nothing to do with the creation of their wealth.
Now what follows is just for you, and not for your social-democratic friends, who will listen to what I say and respond with, “That’s trickle down, which doesn’t work!”
Those people are anti-intellectual and can’t be reached. What I’m telling you here is for the sake of your own understanding, not theirs.
Here is how wealth is created, and why confiscating the incomes of high earners is so destructive.
When firms increase and improve the equipment and machinery at the disposal of workers, those workers’ labor becomes more productive. Imagine someone using a forklift (as my father did), as opposed to stacking pallets with his bare hands, or producing books with modern equipment as opposed to a 16th-century printing press. The amount of production the economy is capable of is thereby increased, often dramatically, and this increase in production puts corresponding downward pressure on consumer prices (relative to wage rates).
There is nothing natural or inevitable about the availability of this productivity-enhancing capital equipment. It does not fall out of the sky. It comes from the wicked capitalists’ saving, and the allocation of the unconsumed resources in capital investment.
This process is the only way the general standard of living can rise. Only in this way can the average laborer produce the tiniest fraction of what today he is accustomed to producing. It follows that only under these conditions can he expect to be able to consume the tiniest fraction of what today he is accustomed to consuming.
The increases in the productivity of labor that additional capital brings about push prices down relative to wage rates. By increasing the overall amount of output, such increases raise the ratio of consumers’ goods to the supply of labor. Put more simply, improvements in the production process that lead to an increased supply of consumer goods make those consumer goods cheaper and easier for people to acquire.
That’s why, in order to earn the money necessary to acquire a wide range of necessities, far fewer labor hours are necessary today than in the past. Thanks to capital investment, which is what businesses engage in when their profits aren’t seized from them and when savings are available to them to invest, our economy is far more physically productive than it used to be, and therefore consumer goods exist in far greater abundance and are correspondingly less dear than before.
*** end quote ***
And, he has a list of how productive has cut the “cost” of certain items in terms of the work hours needed to acquire them. Very impressive.
“Tax the rich” is code for make everyone poorer by preventing “capital formation”. Zero interest rates have wiped out savings by what’s left of the middle class. If there is no “capital investment” because the “rich” are tax and unable to invest, then where does “capital investment” come from?
I know “the money tree” that grows in everyone’s backyard!
Argh!
Today’s politicians and bureaucrats need to go to the figurative guillotine before the USA has its own version of the French Revolution. Can these people possible be this stupid about economics?
I wonder.

‘Walls Work!’ Trump goes to bat for his wall again in early morning tweets as he quotes Obama and Hillary historic statements calling for better borders
- Trump tweeted on Sunday quotes from former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton calling for better borders
- He added that the reason Democrats are against building a border wall is because ‘walls work’
- Senate minority Chuck Schumer revealed Trump threatened to prolong the partial government shutdown for ‘months or even years’
- The president confirmed this during a Rose Garden press conference and added he was ‘proud’ to do so
- The shutdown began on December 22 and is now in its sixteenth day
- Trump added he’s considering declaring national emergency to get the wall built
- Vice President Mike Pence floated a $2.5 billion compromise from Congress
- The commander-in-chief rejected it and said he is asking for $5.6 billion
By MARY KEKATOS and KEITH GRIFFITH and FRANCESCA CHAMBERS, WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT FOR DAILYDAILYMAIL.COM
PUBLISHED: 09:59 EST, 6 January 2019 | UPDATED: 10:08 EST, 6 January 2019
*** begin quote ***
President Donald Trump went to bat for his wall at the US-Mexico border by quoting his predecessors.
The commander-in-chief sent out tweets early Sunday morning that drew on past statements made by former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
‘”We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked…” Barrack [sic] Obama, 2005,’ the first part of the tweet reads, which was spoken by Obama at a December 2005 press conference in Florida.
*** end quote ***
Clearly this is ALL political. All politics all the time. And tiresome.
For two years, when the R’s controlled everything, Obamacare was NOT repealed and the Wall wasn’t funded. Now suddenly, it’s a problem.
Why do we have such problems on the Southern Border but not on the Northern one?
I think having “illegal immigrants” die in the desert of the Souther Border is unacceptable.
I think having “illegal immigrants” collecting welfare is unacceptable. (Anyone collecting “welfare” is unacceptable.)
I think having “illegal immigrants” being forced to come here illegally is unacceptable.
I think that the politicians and bureaucrats politicizing “illegal immigrants” is unacceptable.
Argh!

The American Dream is Being Held Hostage – Gold Telegraph
Saturday, January 5, 2019If the current trend of cutting taxes without decreasing entitlement programs continues, the budget deficit will likely reach or exceed $2 trillion within the next ten years. It will bloat from 3.8 percent of GDP in 2018 to an excess of 7 percent of GDP in a decade. By 2018, the budget deficit will reach 10.5 percent of GDP. Within 20 years, the national debt with be 148 percent of GDP. Americans will become hostage to massive spending and out-of-control debt. With Democrats viewing increased spending and more government expansion as a magic carpet ride, the debt explosion may already be in sight. Their siren song of “Medicare for all” is attracting a great deal of favorable attention.

Saturday, January 5, 2019The thing is, points out Narula’s lawsuit, the phone number listed on the Grubhub app is not actually the restaurant’s phone number. We checked the Grubhub landing pages for several Philadelphia restaurants and, sure enough, a different number is listed than the one registered to the restaurant. When you call the number on the Grubhub landing page, the call is rerouted to the restaurant’s own phone number, and you have your conversation with the restaurant directly. Grubhub has no involvement.

A doctor who tweeted that she would ‘purposely give all the Jews the wrong meds’ has been found to have been posting anti-Semitic messages on social media for years.
Dr Lara Kollab, 27, a former resident at The Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, wrote in now-deleted posts that she hoped ‘Allah will kill the Jews’ and referred to Jewish people as ‘dogs’.
The Cleveland Clinic has since condemned Dr Kollab, who retains her medical license, and confirmed that she is no longer working at the hospital.

Clearly, this is unacceptable in the USA.
Not that she can NOT have racist views. But she can’t overtly threaten to harm people.
For that reason alone, she should lose her medical license.
She can always do pharma sales calling on only Jewish doctors?
That sounds like a plan.

LIBERTARIAN: Counter-attack against Internet Suppression
Wednesday, January 2, 20192019-Jan-02
https://www.ericpetersautos.com/2019/01/01/censorship-vs-suppression/
Censorship vs. Suppression
By eric – January 1, 2019
*** begin quote ***
Libertarians – me included – have wrestled long and hard with this one: Is it censorship when private entities do it?
No – not in a legal sense. Because these private entities do not have the power to forbidpublication, per se.
But they do have the power to suppress (and even to punish) publication when the entities at issue effectively control the means of publication – and so it amounts to the same thing as censorship.
*** and ***
There is no Internet Samizdat – nor can there be. There is just the Internet, which is the only known means for the dissemination of information in the digital age.
There is also the fiction that the handful of entities which effectively control it and all the critical peripherals – which includes both “social media” and online advertising and online payment mechanisms- are private and so we can’t – as Libertarians – object to their machinations.
Nonsense.
They may be privately owned, but so is Tesla – and it is very Libertarian to object to the rent-seeking and crony-capitalism of Tesla. Because Tesla – and the online entities under discussion – leverage the government for their private gain.
Where, after all, did the Internet come from? Was it the privately-funded creation of Goo-gul? Or did Goo-gul, et al, exploit what the taxpayers had been forced to finance the development of?
At the least, we are due some kind of refund.
What’s happened is even more obnoxious than what Jefferson wrote about being forced to provide money for the distribution of opinions one finds repellent – because it’s not just that. One is also precluded even from using one’s own money – whatever’s left, after all the tiers of government theft – to publish opinion contrary to the opinions one finds repellent.
Lech Walesa, phone home.
*** end quote ***
I constantly wonder why a grassroots (libertarian?) movement has not formed behind the idea of using the Internet Giants reliance on “safe harbor” to their detriment. They all rely on the “safe harbor” protection from copyright infringement. But, now, they are exercising “editorial control” and so probably can be held accountable for “infringement”.

At this point, every single person who worked for the Miami Marlins when Jeffrey Loria owned the team should be under strict FBI surveillance. Robert Mueller should be stalking these people. They keep revealing themselves to be vampires.
Case in point: Loria’s former team president, David Samson, hopped onto a stage at ESPN personality Dan Le Batard’s birthday party over the weekend and bragged about fleecing Miami taxpayers and sports fans after Loria sold the team for literally a billion dollars. Samson then flipped off the crowd. Had there not been security, he might have been guillotined, though Le Batard and Samson now claim that this was some sort of planned “skit.” If true, the skit sucked.

POLITICAL: DJT45 needs hire Vin to target Spygate
Tuesday, December 11, 20182018-Dec-11
https://www.vinsuprynowicz.com/?p=7096
Will there never be a counterattack?
Vin Suprynowicz
*** begin quote ***
Is that counterintuitive — that the GOP leadership would WANT to lose the majority? Not at all.
The ongoing stunt of these one-trick ponies for 30 years now is to win election by vowing to “secure the border,” clean up vote fraud (Did you know surplus Massachusetts Democrats can vote in swing-state New Hampshire — where they have a far better chance of shifting some electoral votes — by simply driving across the state line and saying “I plan to move up here next year”?); halt illegal immigration, repeal socialized medicine (“Obamacare”) and replace it with a free-market system providing better incentives for doctors and other “health care providers,” etc.
Then they get to Washington and say “Of COURSE we’d like to deliver on those promises, but the darned Democrats won’t LET us.”
This works if you’re in the minority, or at least if you don‘t control the House, the Senate, AND the presidency.
*** and ***
THE POTENTIAL TARGETS:
1) Spygate. Listen to former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino lay it all out succinctly and in brief. (He’s even capable of making it funny): https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/11/23/dan-bongino-presentation-of-spygate
2) Vote fraud: When states including California and Nevada are now issuing drivers licenses to illegals, and AUTOMATICALLY REGISTERING THEM TO VOTE when they apply for those licenses, we need sting operations and massive busts not just of the illegal voters, but of the Department of Motor Vehicle employees who are illegally registering them.
3) THE ‘SOCIAL MEDIA’ GIANTS . . . . . . mostly based in Silicon Valley in Commiefornia, don’t even seem to CARE that we all know they’ve started censoring conservative voices on the Internet while allowing those who gleefully call for Trump’s assassination, who call Ivanka a “cunt” and Barron Trump “retarded,” urging that said blameless youth be “locked up in a cell with a male rapist named Bubba” are allowed to keep gleefully churning out their hate.
4) The Media — Furthermore, the FCC (and FTC and SEC, if necessary) could be instructed to specifically ENCOURAGE AND FACILITATE mergers which would tend to create conservative alternative news networks with greater reach, rather than blocking them, until the percentage of conservative, Trump-endorsing networks reaches 40 percent.
5) The Border — The President has Constitutional power to send the U.S. military to the border to protect this nation from invasion; no further act of Congress needed.
6) The traitors — Former Secretary of State John Kerry traveled to Iran to advise our enemies on how to avoid or circumvent President Trump’s anti-nuclear embargo.
7) Has anyone at the IRS even looked to see if the Clinton Foundation has violated the terms and restrictions of its tax-exempt, nonprofit charter?

Manufactured Crisis — HPV, Hype and Horror
By Joseph Mercola — Mercola.com
December 10, 2018
*** begin quote ***
The HPV vaccine Gardasil was granted European license in February 2006,1 followed by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval that same year in June.2 Gardasil was controversial in the U.S. from the beginning, with vaccine safety activists questioning the quality of the clinical trials used to fast track the vaccine to licensure.3 Merck, which manufactures and distributes the HPV vaccine Gardasil, has worked with a global health group called PATH4 to get the vaccine approved worldwide.
Lauded as a silver bullet against cervical cancer, the vaccine has since wrought havoc on the lives of young girls across the world.
“Manufactured Crisis — HPV, Hype and Horror,” a film by The Alliance for Natural Health, delves into the all too often ignored dark side of this unnecessary vaccine, interviewing families whose lives have been forever altered after their young daughters suffered life-threatening or lethal side effects following Gardasil vaccination. Says Barbara Loe Fisher, president and cofounder of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC):
“The tragic story of Gardasil vaccine is one that is playing out in real time in the homes of trusting parents, who thought they were doing the right thing to try to make their daughters ‘one less,’ and in the 21st century cyberspace forum of public opinion as well as on television.”
*** and ***
Considering the U.S. government’s financial interest in the sale of HPV vaccine, this is about as clear a conflict of interest as you can get, yet Markowitz was allowed to be part of the team that designed the scope and parameters of the review.
Risk Benefit Analysis
In the film, Norma Erickson, president of Sanevax, Inc., an “international HPV vaccine information clearinghouse” in Troy, Montana, points out that while the cervical cancer rate in the U.S. is 12 per 100,000, by Merck’s own admission, Gardasil may cause 2,300 serious adverse events per 100,000.
Is it really reasonable to risk 2,300 serious adverse events — which includes sudden death — in the hopes of preventing 12 cases of cervical cancer out of 100,000?
Trial data from Merck also shows that Gardasil vaccinations may actually increase your risk of cervical cancer by 44.6 percent if you have been exposed to HPV strains 16 or 18 prior to vaccination.20 (The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has made this document inaccessible, but we’ve saved a copy of it for posterity.)
Professor Marcos Mazzuka, a pediatrician specializing in vaccine injuries in Madrid, Spain, agrees that the HPV vaccine is not safe, and is not worth the risk, as side effects are not limited to rash or fever but are severe and long-lasting.
*** end quote ***
I don’t believe that I am an anti-vaxxer.
