"How could Joe Biden do this to us!" Person exclaims after GOP controls the house, Senate and executive branch.

Tipped staff as a percent of the workforce is very small. If I read his proposal correct it's tips anywhere rather than a specific industry as well. That means in my mind a lawyer could say this is my rate that's really low and then I have an option for a Tip. While the tip has to be voluntary it would be hard for the IRS to prove if it was agreed upon prior. So it could be really manipulated rather than help a larger percentage of people. Simply raising minimum wage or expand the standard deduction would go further I'd think.

Just like when he promised to donate to end world hunger to the world food bank and then backed out.

Unfortunately, a majority of comments I've seen online on that interview say Harris couldn't stop talking about trump or couldn't answer any question she was asked. Absolutely amazing to me the difference here.

The 3rd world country with a Gucci belt*

 

"Subscribers to X Premium, which grants access to Grok, have been posting everything from Barack Obama doing cocaine to Donald Trump with a pregnant woman who (vaguely) resembles Kamala Harris to Trump and Harris pointing guns. With US elections approaching and X already under scrutiny from regulators in Europe, it’s a recipe for a new fight over the risks of generative AI."

They are doing a project in Vegas to do a loop, but it only holds Tesla's... So maybe close?

Eastern Oregon is also going through a bunch of fires so itll be interesting to see if some pull out of Oregon too.

I think the cybertruck was supposed to be a test platform but then they got too into it. I think they will discontinue it at some point

I don't, in musk's mind it's probably buying a favor so Tesla is excluded from subsidies removal. They'd find another way to get Musk more federal funds by saying their only a tech company and working on AI or some shit like that.

The TikTok comments too on anything Biden posts are literally all the same thing so definitely a bot farm at work

If your company has PTO hours and you leave your job in Texas they don't require you get paid out those hours so they are just lost. My coworker learned that. Absolutely need better worker protections across the board and Non-competes getting tossed is huge.

Agree. None of these CEOs have any groundbreaking ideas either. It's all the same strategies for short term profits rather than longer sustainable growth.
