| Topic | Big Wall Street Banks are worried your pay raise is going to destroy the economy |
| Sackgurl 01/20/22 2:57:56 PM #76 | also, another detail that demands analysis: is the wage growth driving the CPI rise, or is the CPI rise driving the wage growth? https://www.bls.gov/news.release/eci.nr0.htm https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm https://www.bls.gov/charts/consumer-price-index/consumer-price-index-by-category-line-chart.htm (from drop-down, select 20 year history which is second option) https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-cost-index/compensation-in-private-industry-and-state-and-local-government-3-month-percent-change.htm# to my eye, the CPI is leading the employment cost, not the other way around. this makes more sense: supply chain interruption causes products to get more expensive for all producers, which causes employees to view their salary as less worthwhile and demand more, and employers exhibit a delayed reaction to that demand wage growth should not have this same impact, because wage increases impact future employee cost at a rate unique to each employer, and it has no impact on trailing employee costs for a given FY. companies don't just unilaterally raise product prices the second their wage costs go up (that's how you get undercut and run out of business)--they always set prices to what the market will support. but they DO raise their prices the second their basic material costs go up, because that impacts all of their competition at the same time --- LittleBigPlanet is like merging dress-up with a real game. |

| Topic | it's crazy how the GOP was on the brink of implosion |
| Sackgurl 01/19/22 3:22:04 PM #16 | Fam_Fam posted... i'm referring to having SCOTUS already, and then winning both houses in the legislative branch potentially in the 2022 midterms (as the second of 3 branches). and then potentially winning the 3rd in 2024 elections, which I feel is sadly not out of reach i think your assumption that dems are dead meat in the midterms is misplaced, SCOTUS isn't the entire judicial branch, and taking the presidency is really not something we should be assuming for the GOP with any immediacy --- LittleBigPlanet is like merging dress-up with a real game. |
| Topic | it's crazy how the GOP was on the brink of implosion |
| Sackgurl 01/19/22 3:14:02 PM #7 | 2 of the 3 branches? are you counting house and senate as branches? that's one branch. they control the SCOTUS, but not the lower courts, where biden has been quite successful in appointing judges. far more so than trump was, although he has much ground to make up. also current redistricting does not look to favor GOP, and their clamp down on voting rights is mostly in states that send 2 GOP senators and all but 1 GOP rep as is. but the reason they've got so much power is that they have already totally consolidated power on state levels to the point that those states are single-party in effect their path to the presidency is harder; trump achieved an upset that was statistically unlikely but not impossible, and all presidential elections in the future will be the same --- LittleBigPlanet is like merging dress-up with a real game. |

The one silver lining to Republicans coming to power again is that maybe they'll do so much damage that everybody finally realizes what a dire state our country is in. except the biggest part of the damage they do now is consolidating power in their own hands when the state legislature changes voting districts not only to make sure the state only elects republicans to national government but also changes those same districts to make sure it only elects them to state government, what emerges is tyranny of the minority --- LittleBigPlanet is like merging dress-up with a real game. |

| Topic | Is 2 weeks notice necessary when quitting? |
| Sackgurl 01/11/22 10:20:46 PM #116 | the biggest reason why it's not necessary is you don't leave job A until job B has made an offer at which point they've contacted any references you might have listed which would be the job you had before job A, not your manager at job A. if you left that job without two weeks' notice, but were on good terms with your manager, they're not going to screw you over years later. any negative feelings over the exit would have cooled, and if you're a good employee, they're not going to lie. there's also another reason not to do it, if you're not on good terms with your management (ie, if they're not going to be a reference anyway): the alternative to "fired immediately" is "worked to the bone for those final two weeks" believe me, that is worse. --- LittleBigPlanet is like merging dress-up with a real game. |

| Sackgurl 01/10/22 7:13:34 PM #151 | WingsOfGood posted... what do you supposed the rate will be for this guy with 300 billion? probably also 0.87%, because otherwise the bank would be losing money relative to letting the customer sell their assets typically management fees are around 1% of a portfolio's value, so i am honestly quite surprised they drop it even this far. there's always a "gold" level where further assets do not improve services/loan rates further but remember also that stock in their own company is likely not being managed by these banks (there's no reason to pay 1% to someone to do nothing!), and tends to comprise the bulk of the wealth of these super-rich company founders they've diversified, and have huge portfolios that DO require management, and still probably are hitting those super low rates, but i'm not sure i buy the idea that they're actually paying zero percent interest granted, in the current inflationary environment, taking a loan at 1% and letting it sit there is a net loss to the lender already --- LittleBigPlanet is like merging dress-up with a real game. |
