Minimum Wage Increase Takes Out California's Biggest Recycling Biz frontpagemag.com/point/274554/m…
California is the home of recycling. And the recycling business is failing.

California's largest operator of recycling redemption centers shut down Monday and laid off 750 employees.

So much for all those "Green Jobs" that the 2020 Democrats keep promising.
RePlanet closed all 284 of its centers, and company president David Lawrence said the decision was driven by increased business costs and falling prices of recycled aluminum and PET plastic, the San Jose Mercury News reported.
“With the continued reduction in state fees, the depressed pricing of recycled aluminum and PET plastic, and the rise in operating costs resulting from minimum wage increases and required health and workers compensation insurance...”
”... the Company has concluded that operation of these recycling centers and supporting operations is no longer sustainable,” a company spokesman said in a statement Monday.”

Republicans call for House Ethics Committee to investigate Rep. @JoaquinCastrotx tweet washex.am/2OOhceo
“By publishing a list of private citizens who donated to his political opponent, Rep. Castro sought to encourage harassment against those citizens simply on the basis of their political beliefs," the lawmakers wrote.
"It cannot be fairly argued that Rep. Castro had any other purpose in posting that list and telling his activist followers that those individuals were inciting hate.

Germany confirms INSTEX won’t be headed by ex-diplomat Bernd Erbel, who gave pair of interviews to journalist who claimed ‘Holocaust industry’ inflates number of victims
INSTEX was created by Germany, France and Britain to coordinate import and export payments so European companies can do business with Iran despite US pressure, and thereby convince Tehran to stick to 2015 deal that limits nuclear efforts after the US withdrew from the deal

Muslim Brotherhood Mosque Advises German Muslims to Beat Their Wives frontpagemag.com/point/274572/m…
The Bavarian Broadcasting 24 outlet published the shocking report on Saturday, writing, “In the case of a marriage in great difficulty or when the partner is ‘unruly,’ the Islamic Center Munich [IZM] invokes the Koran.
At least they get 3 chances.

”Accordingly, the husband should comply with three steps: First, reprimand. Second, separation in the marriage bed. And third, beating.”

On December 22, 2017, @POTUS signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. It cut individual income tax rates and doubles the standard deduction! Furthermore, it cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% beginning in 2018, which allowed reinvestment in Employees & Communites!

Here's how:
AFLAC
- Increase 401(k) match from 50% to 100% of first 4% of employee contribution
- $500 one-time contribution to every employee’s 401(k) plan
- Offer free hospital and accident insurance products
- Increase US investment by $250 million over 3 - 5 years money.cnn.com/2018/01/08/new…

Biggest misconceptions about #JamalKhashoggi:
1. "Journalist"
-He was never a journalist.
2. "Democracy advocate"
-Lifelong hardened Islamist who supported Al Qaeda & wished Israel would "die by force" via Hamas.
3."Brutally murdered" via "bonesaw"
-More likely botched rendition
Clarification: Khashoggi was a "journalist" years ago but for state-run entities that did not allow him to write freely. During this time, he simultaneously worked as an intelligence operative for KSA, before he fell out of favor with the monarchy.

Thread coming:

1/16 I live in #California and while not in harm’s way of the #CaliforniaFires, I empathize. Yesterday while driving to the post office, I heard on the radio about the people who died in their cars because they couldn’t make it out in time.
2/16 I teared up in front of the post office worker, it just freaking hit me while we were chatting. People burned alive, not because they ignored an order to evacuate, but because the fires were simply that fast.
3/16 The kind postal worker and I shared a moment—talked about loved ones and friends affected. She shared how her husband was helping people in their nearby community.

Among my buddies in the top one percent, today is the most wonderful day of the year. It's Christmas for Capitalists!
"Wait," you're probably saying to yourself, "I didn't know October 25th is a holiday." But it is—today is Pay Freedom Day, the day that you likely start working for free. Let me explain.
I've written about the importance of a strong overtime threshold for the average American. I call it the minimum-wage increase for the middle class (read more here: crooked.com/articles/beat-…)
