Ok well I was wrong, it’s a sublingual tablet of a super potent opioid and yes people will be acquiring it illegally very shortly. Hopefully it’s reserved for appropriate patients but I have my doubts.

Bakker’s story is a master class in grift. There’s no world where someone so utterly disgraced should have an audience at all, let alone have the ability to separate that audience from their hard earned dollars so easily

Let's check in with Scott Walker who was to set Wisconsin on the path to prosperity with his Foxconn deal

Quote:

Instead of a Generation 10.5 plant, which produces 10-foot by 11-foot panels for 75-inch TV screens, Foxconn would be building a Generation 6 plant that only produces 5-foot by 6-foot glass panels. A Gen 6 plant would require about a $2.5 billion investment, according to Bob O’Brien, a partner at Display Supply Chain Consultants,*rather than the $10 billion Foxconn initially promised.

Foxconn had hoped to have New York-based Corning build a factory nearby, as the large glass panels required for a Generation 10 plant cannot be transported long distances. But Corning officials made it clear they’d need a subsidy for as much as two-thirds of the cost of this facility, and officials within the Walker administration, suffering continuing criticism about the Foxconn subsidy, ruled out any more handouts. The Walker administration, it seems, had not checked to see if Foxconn could deliver on its promises without help.

Oops

Quote:

In reality, there is little pushing Foxconn to invest as much money or create as many jobs as promised because Walker squandered his leverage over the company. Yes, the full subsidy promised comes in increments, as the capital investments are made and jobs created by Foxconn. But all the other subsidies,*worth more than $1 billion, will be paid regardless of money invested or jobs created. A smaller plant with fewer workers could lower the total tax bill considerably, but it would actually cost the state more on a per-job basis.

Remember the corrupt evil dudes who built that water slide where the kid died? One of them seems to have gotten himself into a bit more trouble: https://www.kansascity.com/news/loca...220903915.html

Quote:

According to the court filing, Merriam police on July 13 were called to a Drury Inn hotel at 9009 Shawnee Mission Parkway after a hotel guest reported a disturbance. That was little more than 24 hours after Henry had appeared in Wyandotte County court for a hearing on the Schlitterbahn case.

Henry answered the door when police knocked on it. Upon seeing police officers, Henry allegedly went to the bathroom and started to empty the contents of several bottles in a sink drain.

A woman identified in court records as K.M. was in the room, identifying herself as Henry’s girlfriend. K.M was slurring her speech and making erratic movements and officers observed bruising around an injection site on her neck, according to court records.

K.M. told police that she had not recently used drugs but admitted to taking methamphetamine in the past.

Officers discovered another woman, identified as K.W., who was pretending to be asleep.

Investigators later learned that Henry allegedly arranged for a human trafficker named Ronnie Hargraves to bring K.W. to Henry’s hotel room for sex, originally in exchange for $400. Henry paid for the sex with $240 cash and offered 10 all-day passes to the Schlitterbahn Waterpark to cover the difference, the bond revocation motion says.

The trafficking victim, K.W., told police she feared for her life and wanted to escape Hargraves, according to court records. She had bruises and a bloody nose; officers took her to a safe location.

Henry denied to officers that he had any part of it.

Hargraves was arrested by officers outside the hotel room. Hargraves told officers that Henry had methamphetamine in a metal tube.

Henry denied to officers that he had illegal drugs in the room and refused to allow officers to search it. But the hotel manager asked police to remove Henry and officers later recovered 61 grams of methamphetamine, 16 pills of Xanax and 18 hypodermic needles.

Police officers interviewed K.W., the trafficking victim, four days later. The woman told police that Henry had instructed her to shoot methamphetamine in his neck upon arriving at the hotel, which she did. They left the hotel and went to the Schlitterbahn water park in KCK, where Henry vented about the criminal charges against him.

Henry also told K.W. that the other woman, K.M., was a “paid sex slave under contract” with Henry, one in which she would receive $50,000 and a $100,000 condo if she kept up her end of the arrangement, according to court documents.

They returned to the hotel, whereupon they came across an angry Hargraves because he did not know where K.W. had been and suspected Henry was attempting to bring her to Texas with him. Hargraves allegedly grabbed K.W.’s neck, slammed her head against the wall and punched her “until she lost control of her bowels,” according to the court filing.

K.W. escaped to the bathroom and locked herself in, at which time Hargraves tried to break open the door. Police arrived shortly thereafter.

You've never really partied until you've had a couple sex slaves inject meth into your neck at a Drury Inn.

There's some super duper nutjobs in Florida. There's some white separatists going by Republic of Florida, they go walking down the side of highways carrying their flags and handing out literature and **** "read siege, ******s". They tried to claim Nikolas Cruz as a member but they're like a group of five poor as **** racist white trash folks who have no reach or influence and think they are bigger than they are.

Kind of weird how wordpress.com hosts a **** ton of white supremacist sites tho.

What Minimum-Wage Foes Got Wrong About Seattle: $15 minimum wage didn't hurt employment

It never does. It just puts upward pressure at the bottom of the wage scale. More take home pay in the hands who spend 100% of their disposable income boosts local consumption which spurs the local economy.

Yeah sure $100/hr would probably be bad. So chessmate libtards.

The min. wage argument is as boring and predictable as the laffer curve argument.

But that number sure as **** isn’t $15.
