Not only is Chuck tacitly admitting to never having had even a semi-amicable break up, he can’t even conceptualize having a relationship end in a way that doesn’t result in a permanent state of resentment and hostility.

One of the few down sides of working in a small shop, sometimes things have to change, usually because the opportunity to make some income for the shop comes up. It’s all good however, I’m so relaxed now compared to where I was a bit over a year ago.

Take care, and why does boneless skinless chicken breasts cost less per pound than wings? What this world needs is a GMO chicken with about 4 wings per side.

I read the comments on the Shakesville link — thanks for providing it. There is a comment from a woman who has worked in the financial industry (Diana T) that gives a firsthand, detailed look at the kind of steps and disruptions that would be involved in breaking up the big firms. She’s a Sanders supporter and agrees that these banks should be broken up, but the interview appalled her.

I work for one of the banks that would be broken up. Our whole thing is about being a one-stop shop for our customers. So, for example, my mother, who banks with my employer (and has since before I was born decades ago), has checking, savings, debit card, credit card, safe deposit box and 401K management. She can go online (if she wanted to, but she has my brother do it for her) and on one screen, see all that stuff in short form. That’s what customers want. The back end of putting that stuff together—I just know customers will hate to have to go to bank A for their checking and savings, bank B for their credit card, bank C for their 401K management and bank D for their mortgage (which my mother does not have).

I work on the back end and in my job, we work to ensure the entire computing environment remains up and available for workers and customers. Just the idea of breaking up my employer from a technical perspective gives me the chills. How do you split up all that computing power? Who gets the servers, the midrange boxes, the Big Iron purchased from IBM? Who gets the various interactive voice response units (phone banking, etc.) which have been brought together because of economies of scale? Because everything is so intertwined, breaking it up would be a huge hit to the successor corporations as they try to build out what they had before. Who would get the data centers? What about the workspaces? I work next to a very large insurance group and down the hall from a corporate properties help desk. In Bernie’s world, we’d all be broken up.

The whole thing is just crazy.

Gee, I have (or could have) all of that at my local independent bank. My checking is free, I can do most things online, and haven’t yet tried to work with my trust account online. However, my trust officer knows me by my first name, and I can call and say move cash into my checking, or buy so much of a stock, and it’s done. I do like it all in one place, but I am so grateful it is a small independent bank. May be one of the last in the state!

I have not been able to google the NY Post editorial review board, but I did stumble on the Washington Post Editorial Board’s view of Sanders, By Editorial Board January 27 2016
They get right to it. And this is from January before the Bernie train got moving. I missed this piece at the time.

EN. BERNIE Sanders (I-Vt.) is leading in New Hampshire and within striking distance in Iowa, in large part because he is playing the role of uncorrupted anti-establishment crusader. But Mr. Sanders is not a brave truth-teller. He is a politician selling his own brand of fiction to a slice of the country that eagerly wants to buy it.

OMFG! Trump’s harebrained ideas on how force Mexico to fund a border wall: economic warfare, government overreach, bully tactics.

washingtonpost.com

Donald Trump says he will force Mexico to pay for a border wall as president by threatening to cut off the flow of billions of dollars in payments that immigrants send home to the country, an idea that could decimate the Mexican economy and set up an unprecedented showdown between the United States and a key diplomatic ally.

In a two-page memo to The Washington Post, Trump outlined for the first time how he would seek to force Mexico to pay for his 1,000-mile border fence, which Trump has made a cornerstone of his presidential campaign and which has been repeatedly scoffed at by current and former Mexican leaders.

The proposal would jeopardize a stream of cash that many economists say is vital for Mexico’s struggling economy. But the feasibility of Trump’s plan is unclear both legally and politically, and also would test the bounds of a president’s executive powers in seeking to pressure another country.

This is bringing back very bad memories of the 1980 Kennedy-Carter campaign where both sides just got into the dirt. I know that all too well because I set up Kennedy’s Pennsylvania organization and worked to unseat Carter. After Kennedy lost, I went on to work for Anderson and Barry Commoner’s Citizens Party to get Carter out of the White House.

Trump released his actual “plan” to make Mexicio pay for the wall. Here’s a spoiler it doesn’t make sense:

WASHINGTON (AP) — A published report says Donald Trump would force Mexico to pay for a border wall, if elected president, by cutting off billions of dollars in remittances by immigrants living in the U.S.

The report, in Tuesday’s Washington Post, cites a two-page memo sent by the Republican presidential front-runner outlining how he would force Mexico to pay for the 1,000-mile wall.

In his proposal, Trump is reportedly threatening to change a rule under the Patriot Act anti-terrorism law to cut off money transfers sent to Mexico. Trump added that he would withdraw the treat if Mexico makes “a one-time payment of $5 to $10 billion” to finance the wall, the Washington Post reported.

Mexico’s President Enrique Peña Nieto has said his country will not pay for any such wall.

Promulgation of regulation doesn’t work that way. This would be notice and comment rulemaking, so… Ah, never mind. Explaining to him that the federal government does not function like a business and you don’t promulgate rules by fiat is pointless.

It would be a very rude awakening for him to find that the rest of the departments under him can realllyyy drag their feet when they don’t like the orders. And, then there are all the lawsuits that will immediately appear. And, gah.

Today is the Wisconsin primaries. Everyone there should get out and vote, but know that Wisconsin’s excremental governor Scott Walker made sure to reduce the number of people who could vote due to Voter ID rules that have taken effect for this election. That could depress the turnout, and/or cause problems at the polling stations as people think that they should be entitled to vote but are turned away because they lack ID that they didn’t need for prior elections.

Meanwhile, it’s a proportional delegate system for Democrats, which means that Bernie needs a blowout, all to gain a handful of delegates on Hillary. Proportional delegates means that even if Hillary loses, she’ll still close on the only number that counts - 2,383. Bernie would need to win every race by 14 points (that’s what winning 57% means) to have a shot. And that’s just not going to happen, especially with NY showing Hillary up by 10.

It’s basic math, but hey, Bernie fans are nothing if not fanatics.

Over on the GOP side, you’ve essentially got a 2-person race for a winner take all system. Cruz is apparently ahead, but he doesn’t figure to have enough delegates to win the nomination, so he figures to be spoiler. Trump really needs the win to make sure that he has a clear shot at the nomination without any kind of chicanery at the convention. However, it’s likely that he’ll go in short of the number needed. That means he’ll have to rely on the fact he won more than everyone else, has more delegates than everyone else, and greater number of votes than the others. The GOP faces a disaster of epic proportions if they don’t go with Trump, and an even bigger one in November if they do.

Basically, the article assumes that “mothers” would never choose abortion on their own, they are coerced or manipulated into it by “The Abortion Industry” WHICH WAS PROVED DEFINITIVELY BY CENTER FOR MEDICAL PROGRESS VIDEOS!!!11!!

Yeah, and women don’t choose to hire hitmen to knock off their hubbies, the hitmen coerce them into it.////

Really, such an argument assumes that pregnant women are either too naive or dumb to know that an abortion is a “bad thing.” Isn’t that the sort of argument that wingnuts regularly belittle, the “Nanny State” and the idea that the government needs to be there to tell you what things are and aren’t bad for you?

Reading over Trump’s two-page memo, I realized it’s basically extortion..

Nice country ya got there. Be a shame if somethin’ happens ta it.
Tell ya what, send us money and nothin’ bad’s gonna happen t’ya.
But, if ya don’t cooperate wit’ us, here’s what’ll happen.

We make it so your people can’t send any dough back home. We might hafta step on a few businessmen’s toes to make dat happen, but we know how to cut deals.

Then, if dat don’t make ya fork over da money, we’ll make it so sending stuff to us is going hurt ya big time. Fuck those trade agreements we signed already. And our own businessmen.

If dat don’t work, then we’ll cancel all your people’s travel papers and make it more expensive to get them. I’d advise ya not ta do the same ting to our people, or there’ll be trouble bigly.

Ya got dat, Mexico?

Trump wants to apply the “protection racket” to all current U.S. allies, including Japan, Germany and South Korea.

MPD investigates after officers cover name tags at Trump protest

The Milwaukee Police Department has launched an investigation into officers who covered up their name tags in apparent violation of department policy during a protest outside the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee over the weekend.

Photos provided Monday by the American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin show some officers covering their name tags entirely. In response, a police spokesman said Chief Edward Flynn has issued a directive for “immediate corrective action” to prevent future violations and initiated an investigation.

Officers are permitted to replace their name tag with a unique identifying number when policing in a protest, demonstration or rally type of deployment.

I know abortion is a very private choice for a woman, but I wonder if the only way we’re going to stop a lot of these laws is to have a number of women get up and say “it’s my choice” and dare people to arrest them. It’s not that these women have to be going in for an abortion, but just make it clear that it’s their choice and no one else’s.

Seems to have parallels to Susan B. Anthony wanting to be arrested for attempting to vote.

They gave a large sum of money to a third party who was supposed to buy discounted liquor for them to sell at a profit, but investors lost their money and the feds opened a fraud probe, sources said.

The single minded determination of some people to ignore the consequences of firearms violence.

As if ~33,000 people killed every year is without any health care costs. Especially among the more than 100,000 shot (either self-inflicted, or by others) every year (source - need to submit w/limitation for firearms use).

More than 100,000 shot every year. That’s a whole lot of emergency room use. And often requiring lots of advanced medical care. And rehabilitation. And long term loss of wages, use of function, etc.

MoJo posits the annual cost at around $229 billion. That’s direct and indirect costs, including health care (mental and physical care), incarceration and justice system, lost wages, etc.

The bill came to about $12000 when I was shot, counting only direct costs like medical treatment and lost work time. In 1982. And that was a relatively minor incident, as these things go. There is no telling what it would cost now, but it happens hundreds of times a day.

re: #61 lawhawk

Today is the Wisconsin primaries. Everyone there should get out and vote, but know that Wisconsin’s excremental governor Scott Walker made sure to reduce the number of people who could vote due to Voter ID rules that have taken effect for this election. That could depress the turnout, and/or cause problems at the polling stations as people think that they should be entitled to vote but are turned away because they lack ID that they didn’t need for prior elections.

Bernie has a pretty tough road to hoe. The things that Walker put into place are going to hit Bernie’s supporters most (voter ID is very restrictive for students and the requirements are mostly unknown to what looks to be a majority of students [from what I was reading last night]).

The Trump Campaign has now gone full bunny boiler.

Two weeks ago there was a card in an envelope taped to the door of the shop (I checked in on a day I was closed.) Written inside was a note from a person I do not know, apologizing for saying something to me that I don’t remember, and she didn’t specify. It was signed ‘Betsy’, and had my named spelled wrong, so I suppose she doesn’t know me very well either.

Maybe she said I had gone full bunny boiler. Except I think I would have remembered that.

Bernie stated that if he’s elected, it will be on a wave of Democrats that will be able to enact his agenda:

Sanders: First of all, if I win, it will almost by definition mean that there will be a very large voter turnout. That’s what I believe. If there is a very large voter turnout, I think the odds are pretty strong Democrats will regain control of the Senate, do better in the House. Can they win the House? I don’t know. But they will do better.

A thought on this, though: He’s going to get a lot of votes just because he’s the Democrat. I don’t agree with everything he wants to enact, but I’m sure as hell not going to let a Republican in office. He hasn’t taken into account that all of us voting for him don’t back him 100%.

I’ve said before that Bernie and Trump are two sides of the same coin, and it seems with every passing interview that becomes clearer. When you get past the fawning articles about how dreamy a candidate he is and start talking brass tacks, you quickly find a guy who’s totally out of his depth. He just assumes that the things he wants will happen, that the only results from them will be positive, and that anybody who says otherwise is either lying or being paid to say so.

The Missouri Senate moved a step closer Tuesday to holding the leader of the St. Louis Planned Parenthood in contempt, a charge that could result in up to 10 days in jail.

A Senate committee discussed a pair of resolutions Tuesday demanding that the president of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri and the owner of a pathology lab that reviews tissue from Planned Parenthood appear before the Senate at 10 a.m. April 18 to explain why they have not complied with subpoenas related to the disposal of fetal tissue.

Chuck Hatfield, a Jefferson City attorney representing Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri, told the Senate Rules, Joint Rules, Resolutions and Ethics Committee that the subpoenas were too broad and could result in the violation of federal patient privacy laws.

Planned Parenthood has never refused to turn over documents to the Missouri Senate, Hatfield said, but they cannot legally comply with the subpoena in its current form.

“We’ve said over and again in correspondence from my office that we will discuss production of documents,” Hatfield said, “but we object to the subpoena as issued.”

I hold that committee in contempt for their fishing expedition:

The subpoenas were issued in November demanding six years of documents pertaining to the handling of fetal tissue by the St. Louis Planned Parenthood clinic — the only facility in Missouri that currently offers abortion services.

The subpoena also requested documents on anytime an ambulance was called to the St. Louis clinic.

From 2010 to 2014, more than 450 activists were killed in Latin America. [Emphasis added.] Arrests and convictions are rare. Last year in Costa Rica, the men accused of killing the 26-year-old Mora, as well as kidnapping and robbing four foreign volunteers, were acquitted by a court.

But in the surprise last week, the men — Héctor Cash, Ernesto Centeno, José Bryan Quesada and Donald Salmón — were found guilty after prosecutors filed an appeal in the case, which is allowed by the Costa Rican legal system, unlike that of the United States. The four could serve up to 70 years in prison

Last month, the campaign laid off the leader of its data team, Matt Braynard, who did not train a successor. It elevated his No. 2, a data engineer with little prior high-level political strategy experience, and also shifted some of his team’s duties to a 2015 college graduate whose last job was an internship with the consumer products company Colgate-Palmolive.

On Tuesday, Trump revealed his plan to extort $5 billion to $10 billion from our ally to the south: use an anti-terrorism provision in the Patriot Act to freeze all money transfers from the United States to Mexico, until the ransom is paid. In other words, the Trump administration would intercept all the money that Mexican immigrants send home to their dependent family members and wait for the suffering of women and children to force Mexico’s hand.

Sen. Schumer calls for investigation ahead of release of gun that looks just like smartphone

Just imagine all the cops who could shoot people with cell phones by saying, “I thought they had a gun——-I feared for my life!”

Many of those Mexican immigrants are American citizens sending money to their relatives in Mexico. So Americans will be paying for the wall, or at least be robbed for their money to sit in a ‘freeze’.

I’m amused when I think of the sheer amount of infrastructure that will be required to monitor every transfer of fundsfrom the US to Mexico and figure out which ones are legit.

Setting up the ability to do that would probably drink up all that wall money pretty quick, and we’re back where we started, only with a mighty pissed off ally.

He’s not thinking this shit through.

I used to be at a GSIB myself until the Great Recession reared it’s ugly head (and I also had a shitty boss who was all image and zero performance)

At least now I’m more in my element and unless we have another 2007-2008 redux (or worse) I hope to be able to keep working for another decade or so until I die, retire or the Cubs win the World Series.
