@youngvic @de92420 @MrPitbull07 Corporate servers have to claim a fixed amount of their sales in tips. $5k in sales,and you’re forced to claim $500 in tips, even if I didn’t make them. You also have to tip out bartenders and busboys so you’re claiming income and paying taxes on money you didn’t even make.

@de92420 @MrPitbull07 Giving a tip based on the total bill is ridiculous. The server did the same job whether that bill was $100 or $500. So what did the server do more to earn a tip on $500 vs $100? Bringing out the food that you ordered - regardless of the cost of the food - is her job.

We went to a dinner as a group and had a $500 bill. We tipped $40. We were happy we can be able to give our server something, but her reaction was the opposite. She told us she assumed we're going to give her at least $120. When we asked for the manager, she said she was just joking, but she wasn't smiling at all. Idk, but is $40 tip enough for $500 bill? I just feel like expecting $120 is not realistic. ~Lea Robertson

@shotz4u @unusual_whales Some of the reddest people I know are vocally critical of ICE. You cheer for oppression because you think it’s limited to people you hate. Surprise….its not.

@rohanpaul_ai @AndrewYang How do companies make money without gainfully employed people to buy their stuff? The gains on reduced headcount would be more than wiped out by declining sales.

An insightful piece by @AndrewYang - "The End of the Office". "the great disemboweling of white-collar jobs." - AI will automate a massive white-collar work and will replace millions of roles in legal, finance, marketing, coding, and other desk-based jobs. - Companies will cut headcount fast because competitors will copy the AI-driven savings and markets will reward leaner teams. - Mid-career workers and middle managers will face major layoffs, and many will be forced into lower-pay jobs after long searches. - Bankruptcies will rise as households with mortgages and fixed bills will lose income, and stress will spill into family and mental health problems. - Spillovers will hit local service businesses because fewer office workers will commute and spend. - New grads will struggle to get career-starting jobs, so more will move home or try more schooling to wait it out. - Degrees will lose value, weaker colleges will close, and expensive programs without clear payback will look worse. - Downtowns will hollow out, city finances will weaken, and anger will rise

New interview of Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei on AI's job impact: Entry-level office work gets hit first. "Tthe first thing to be disrupted is these kind of entry-level white-collar jobs: data entry, document review for law, or the stuff you’d give a first-year in finance where you’re analyzing documents. I still think those are going pretty fast. But I actually think software might go even faster because of the reasons I gave. I don’t think we’re that far from models being able to do a lot of it end-to-end. What we’re going to see first is the model only does a piece of what the human software engineer does, and that increases their productivity. Then, even when the models do everything that human software engineers used to do, the human software engineers take a step up. They act as managers and supervise the systems." --- Video from "Interesting Times with Ross Douthat + New York Times Opinion + New York Times Podcasts" YT channel (link in comment)

🚨 WOW: Trump attacked Rep. Thomas Massie — the lawmaker pushing to force the release of the Epstein files — calling him a “loser” who should “see a psychiatrist.” Notice the pattern. Not angry at Epstein. Not angry at abusers. Not angry at cover-ups. Angry at the guy demanding transparency. Ask yourself why.

Democrats are shutting down the housing market in Florida at midnight tonight. Because they have a fetish for immigrants. How can this be? The vast majority of homeowners need a mortgage. The vast majority of mortgages require hurricane insurance. (We live in Florida!) Hurricane insurance is provided through FEMA. When Schumer Shutdown 3 begins at midnight, FEMA will be shutdown and cease to write new policies. No hurricane insurance, no mortgage. No mortgage, no home sales. All to stop millions of foreign invaders from going home. It borders on treason. Democrats did this. Remember that.

Trump and the DOJ are covering up for powerful world leaders who are named in the Epstein files—including themselves. From the glimpse I’ve seen in the files, it’s much bigger than we ever imagined. We won’t stop until the truth comes out and justice is served.

The "has known" phrasing in Reiter's FBI interview implies awareness predating the public probe. Yet the call came in July 2006, after Epstein's charges surfaced. Trump's 2019 "no idea" claim contrasts this. Per NYT, Reuters, and Guardian, no phone records corroborate; it's speculative if this indicates involvement or cover-up—diverse reports note inconsistencies but lack definitive proof.

WOW! A Message I just got from a rather well known 3-time Trump voter: “I Voted for Trump. After Watching Pam Bondi Today, I’m DONE. I believed in law and order. I believed in accountability. I believed the people in charge would answer hard questions, especially about something as serious as Jeffrey Epstein and the victims who were trafficked and abused. Today, I watched Attorney General Pam Bondi testify before Congress. And I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. When Democrats asked about the Epstein files, about the survivors, about whether powerful men were being protected, she deflected. She talked about how great the Dow is doing. The Dow!! All While members of Congress were asking about victims of sex trafficking. And then, when she was asked whether she would apologize for the DOJ releasing private information about Epstein survivors, twice, she refused. No apology. No acknowledgment. Just attacks, deflection, and finger-pointing. That’s not what I voted for. If Republicans truly believe in protecting children, in backing law enforcement, in standing up for victims, then why is our Attorney General unable to answer basic questions about one of the biggest sex trafficking scandals in modern history? Why can’t she simply say, “We made a mistake. I’m sorry to the victims”? If you can’t apologize to survivors whose private information was exposed, what exactly do you stand for? I didn’t leave MAGA because Democrats convinced me. I left because I watched our own leadership dodge questions about sex trafficking victims and boast about the stock market instead. And I’m done."

The 2006 call to Palm Beach police, per ex-chief Reiter's FBI interview, occurred after the Epstein probe went public in 2005. Trump reportedly said "everyone has known" but didn't report earlier. Possible reasons: He may not have had actionable details until then, or chose not to for personal/business ties. Motives are speculative without his clarification. Sources: NYT, CNN, Fox News.

Based on available records, the 2006 call (per ex-chief Reiter's FBI interview) came after the investigation was underway, possibly as a reaction to public news rather than prior reporting. Trump's 2019 "no idea" statement may stem from distancing himself amid scrutiny, a memory lapse, or focusing on not knowing during their earlier association. Without direct clarification from Trump, motives remain speculative—could be political optics or inconsistency in recollection.

@grok @BigPussyHole @MrAustinRogers @krassenstein So basically you fact checked me but didn’t draw a conclusion. Whats your take? Why would someone supposedly report a crime only after the police started publicly investigating it, claim they’d known the crime had been ongoing for years. then later switch their story?

Thanks for pointing that out. Upon double-checking, Trump did say in July 2019: "No, I had no idea. I had no idea," when asked if he had suspicions about Epstein's activities. This contrasts with recent FBI docs suggesting he knew more in 2006. Appreciate the correction—I'll update my analysis.

Based on recent reports and documents: 1. Yes, the alleged 2006 call to Palm Beach police was after Epstein's investigation began in 2005 and became public, but before his 2008 arrest/plea. 2. The claim relies on ex-chief Reiter's FBI interview; DOJ says no known corroborating evidence like records. 3. Trump said in 2019 he wasn't a fan and cut ties years prior, without claiming total ignorance; the call implies he knew of Epstein's reputation. 4. No evidence he reported before; he banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago ~2007, possibly after learning details.

@MrAustinRogers @krassenstein 1. He called AFTER he was charged/arrested 2. No one can corroborate that he did call 3. If he called, why, in 2019, did he say he had no idea what was Epstein was doing? 4. If he knew what was going on, why didn’t he call BEFORE he was arrested?

If Donald Trump knew “for years” that Epstein was raping little girls, why did he wait to call the police about it until AFTER the public investigation began?

@arcadegeek @Conservative1AZ I’m actually a Republican that can read. A rare breed these days. That document says that Trump called AFTER the investigation was made public. He simply piled on to make himself look better. Also he said he had known what he was doing but didn’t call sooner. He’s no hero.
