Because if there’s one person we should listen to on science, it’s a former governor of Indiana.

OMG this article:
“Every year we say, ‘Wow, this is really difficult’ - and every year, it gets more challenging,” said Sabrina Wnorowski, vice president of human resources at Radial, which operates fulfillment centers for brands such as Cole Haan, Aeropostale and the Children’s Place. The company, she said, is offering daily raffles with prizes like PlayStations and iPads, as well as pizza parties and on-site food trucks in a bid to attract 27,000 warehouse workers this year
Printing this without the (obvious to everyone except for the author) follow-up of “Have you increased pay?” is just straight journalistic malpractice.

3% of the entire US workforce quit their job in the last month! And the story is somehow a “labor shortage.” There is a FUCKING PAY SHORTAGE YOU ASSHOLES

Just waiting for someone to take it to the logical extreme: “Work here for $5/hr but you’ll be entered into an annual $1M raffle”
Save labor costs, and as an added bonus, give workers a reason to hate each other even more!

it’s really amazing they profess the supply-demand bullshit as if it were commandments at every opportunity, but they literally cannot see how they have to pay more in the current labor market, which is as “free” and “at-will” as it has been in decades.

Employers are likely to live with understaffing instead of paying more due to the norm against cutting a worker’s pay. They don’t want to give pay bumps for what is likely a temporary situation.
many employers are coming to realization it’s not really temporary. so many businesses closed, the entire system has to restructure the pipelines, and it will be decades before people can live in comfortably complacent again.
That can’t be real.

You’re not really thinking like a proper late stage capitalist.
“Work here for $5/hr and if you’re the only one still alive at the end of the year you get $1M dollars.” Let the Squid Game begin!
Finally got off my ass and did it.

WaPo platforming Newsmax contributors now
Patrice is a frequent guest on Fox News, Fox Business News, and PBS programs. She hosts a column called the New Agenda for Black Women on Newsmax dot com and is a contributor to the Washington Examiner and The Hill . Her opinions have also appeared in the Washington Post, USA Today , CNBC, Bloomberg, and other prominent outlets.
Politico is racing to the bottom. Seriously, I don’t give a shit how you feel about Pete and Chasten, but Tammy Duckworth is right, and this framing is homophobic and misogynistic. Imagine if that headline was about Abby Philip from CNN, who had a baby at the same time and went on maternity leave. This is just infuriating.

Apparently this is the GOP’s newest talking point. Easy way to be homophobic without seeming homophobic.
Even Tucker Carlson got in on the action (though he was more open about it). Not gonna link it here because it’s generally disgusting, but I’m sure you can imagine what kind of things he said.
Also lol
