    With year-end job numbers now in, we can close the book on the $500 wager I proposed to 4 economists regarding job effects of Ont's Jan1/18 min wage increase. Ont employmt grew 1.1% in the yr, faster than nat'l avg. I win the bet: too bad I had no takers!

  5. Jaw on floor: The Medicare prescription drug plan allows insurers to estimate costs per year and pays them based on estimates!. Of course insurers over-estimate ... to the tune of $9 billion (!!) legally just kept.

  6. This is the tweet that got my wife account locked until she deletes it. I guess you aren’t allowed to oppose stoning or sharia law anymore. Makes sense I guess when you consider Twitter is partially owned by Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud.

    I’m a little surprised that the anti-wall rhetoric doesn’t focus more on Germany. The evolution is so easy: democracy to white supremacy to fascism to iron curtain in one president!

  9. Hugely important & belies the myth of neurosurgeons driving cabs. Also, the improvement seems to correlate with the implementation of the Express Entry reforms. Immigration benefits Canada powerfully when we take care to ensure new arrivals have the skills our economy needs.

    This explains a lot. “Retroactive narrative construction” - fudging brought to an art form.

    Jobless rate fell 0.2 percentage points in 2018 to 5.6%, the lowest level since comparable data became available in 1976. Canada added 163,300 net new jobs last year and saw an increase in full-time employment, though the pace of growth was slower than previous years.

    Homophobe Mike Pence had to swear in Kyrsten Sinema, the first out bisexual Senator in history, on a law book and not a bible. He seems uncomfortable and she’s having fun with it. This is everything.

    Just got messaged by a MAGAT that the video of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez dancing is inappropiate for a young lady, especially one in office. I responded by sending her the pic of the 1st Lady nude with another woman. I was quickly blocked!!! LOL 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Today Mike Pence had the honor of swearing in Kyrsten Sinema, the first openly bisexual Senator in U.S. history. Her choice of literature to be sworn in on? A law book. This amuses me on so many levels I cannot begin to peel back the layers.
