Amazon could have chosen not to change the logo. someone will complain about something all the time. remember when cons were upset about the phrase “happy holidays”

Funny he said that in September when Covid was supposed to be over by April of 2020 if I recall.

It’s also unclear what he means by high cash amount. Does he consider 20percent of the notional high? Or is he trading GME (where the req could be 300percent)

it depends on your tolerance for risk which in turn is dependent on saveral factors. It depends on your source of alpha.

I am very much in favor of free community college and trade schools. I am very much against an increase in the minimum wage. I don't think it solves any real problems but creates more. Even the proponents on here are in agreement it will hurt employment - even though very few workers actually...

Almost anyone can earn $40k/year plus benefits if they want to work 40 hours a week. issue is that some people can't work forty hours a week - for example single moms, or they don't want to (a lot of people on minimum wage choose not to apply themselves - i've seen it first hand). Some of these...

Oh Rats! I need ORATS!

The argument of raising the minimum wage reeks like the Trumpers who buy hats that say "America First" (the hats are made in China).

Based on this argument, there is no reason to increase the minimum wage.

And they don't believe that being able to pay "living" wage (whatever living means) means a business isn't viable.

Yeah. Its well known that Foxconn (apple's supplier has brutal working conditions and Chinese employees are not paid as much as american employees). Apple has cost shifted to the Chinese population. It's also well known that the rare elements in iphones have a sordid supply chain involving...

But when the min wage changes to 12. It punishes the good workers earning 11.25. I’ve seen it first hand. They don’t ask for money - they essentially go on strike.

Those shitty workers don’t get better if you pay them more money. They are just shitty.

you will appreciate this: I had to get my car towed today. The guy was nice enough to drive me home and so we talked about the economics of towing cars. He makes 19/hour which means his employee pays closer to 25. In an 8 hour shift, his employee will be pay 200 for the guy. In that 8 hour...

Everything is cost shifting. Your smart phone makes apple a lot of money because they have essentially prisoners building them and actual human slaves sourcing the raw materials. Apple is an unviable business.

it will make them more educated. Community colleges (and my wife is on the boards of two) have strong focuses on technical training. No one reads Chaucer at these schools. They do read the instruction manual on a HAAS 3-axis milling machine.

You don’t get to say which business is viable and which business isn’t. your fruits are affordable because they are picked by illegals getting paid 3 dollars an hour. Are you willing to pay 10x for your produce? Have you ever read about the supply chain for the materials to build your cell...

Automation can lead to augmentation and a whole class of workers who have to manage these robots. Raising the minimum wage doesn't solve the structural problem that many people will be obsoleted by a required new skill. What will, is free community college.

sure. We should increase the minimum wage to 200k because lawyers are going to feel the pinch soon too.

I am only for this if the funds were earmarked for free community college.
