The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: During an unhinged rant at the 2023 Gotham Awards, Robert DeNiro bizarrely used his acceptance speech to slam Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. In an interview with Norah O'Donnell on CBS Evening News, retiring Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) said he would be happy to support any Republican candidate for president in 2024 aside from Donald Trump or Vivek Ramaswamy. On Sunday, Kristen Welker and the Meet the Press panel featuring Symone Sanders and Brendan Buck suggested that Ron DeSantis should end his campaign for president in order to clear a path for Nikki Haley. In a video that has now gone viral on social media, a disgruntled woman on board a flight from Florida to Philadelphia can be seen urinating in the aisle! While discussing this horrifying story, Matt reveals he flew first class last week…Rich is outraged. A sandwich monopoly? Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is alleging that Rock Capital's purchase of Subway amounts to a monopoly which will lead to higher sandwich prices—the private equity firm already owns sandwich shops Jimmy John's and Schlotzky's. The Federal Trade Commission is now investigating the $10 billion acquisition. As Timothy P. Carney notes, how could this acquisition be considered a monopoly: “Consider that Chick-fil-A enjoyed $16 billion in sales in 2021, which is equal to Subway-plus-Arby's-plus Jimmy John's” and that “non-sandwiches, of course, compete with sandwiches,” concluding that there is no way to honestly determine Rock Capital has a monopoly like Sen. Warren suggests. You can read more here: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/elizabeth-warren-needs-to-define-sandwich

Why America Women Are SNAPPING - Men Not Approaching To Low Job Wages - Are 304's Still Winning? Coach Greg Adams YouTube Channel Free Agent Lifestyle YouTube Channel
The Torah in Parashat Ki-Teseh (Debarim 24:15) commands, “Be'yomo Titen Secharo” – requiring an employer to promptly pay his worker the wages due to him, without any delay. The Sefer Ha'hinuch explains that the Torah issued this command because generally, people depend on their wages for their basic sustenance. Ensuring to pay workers on time so that they can pay for their necessities helps engender compassion and sensitivity for other people. The Torah wants us to be merciful and compassionate, because when we act toward people with mercy and compassion, we earn Hashem's mercy and compassion, and He showers us with His blessings. This Misva includes both wages for work that one performed, as well as payment for leasing. Thus, if a person leases his fellow's animal or utensil, he is required by force of this command to promptly pay the owner the rental fee. If an employee works during the day, then the employer must pay the wages that night, until morning. If the employee works at night, then the employer must pay the wages the next day, until dark. If the arrangement is for the employee to work for a week, a month or a year, then the time his wages are due depends on when his term of employment ends. If it ends during the day, then he must be paid by the end of the day, and if it ends during the night, then the payment must be given during that night. If somebody brings an artisan a utensil or some other item to repair, then the owner is not required to pay the artisan until he returns the repaired item. Once he returns it, the payment must be made immediately. This requirement applies only if the worker claims his wages; the employer does not violate this command as long as the employee has not yet asked for his money. Furthermore, this prohibition does not apply if the employer does not have the money owed to the worker. However, the Sefer Ha'hinuch writes that it is certainly proper not to hire a worker before ensuring that he will be able to pay his wages. This command applies in all places and at all times, and is binding upon both men and women.

Author Virginia Pye joins us to talk about the history of publishing and women in Boston during the 19th century in her new book "The Literary Undoing of Victoria Swann."
Most Americans today would agree that the dream of supporting a family and living a good life on one full time salary is not available to vast numbers of people. Wages have not risen at the pace of profits over the last several decades, and work with benefits is far from guaranteed for many. In his 2023 book, “Ours Was the Shining Future: The Story of the American Dream,” New York Times writer David Leonhardt explains how we got here. He points out that corporate culture moved from a communitarian mindset to an individual one, government policies deprioritized workers, and labor unions weakened, all contributing to where we are today. Businessman, economics advisor and co-founder and co-chair of The Carlyle Group investment firm, David Rubenstein, talks with Leonhardt about his book on stage at the festival. The two discuss the drivers of economic progress and consider what would bring the American Dream back.

Indefinite detention has been ruled unconstitutional and the rules that Dutton put in place during his time in government have been exposed as not just morally without basis but also without legal standing. As Labor moves to fix these issues Dutton has ramped up mis vitriolic disinformation. Could it be a handy distraction from his party voting against returning $9 billion in unpaid workers wages? Or the loss of another of his moderate MPs to the cross bench? Or is it just that he bought the Trump/Bannon franchise and is determined to play it out? There's talk of another surplus budget and the ideas are already flowing. Ben and Van discuss why Albo's targeted cost of living relief is, in general, the right approach and also why supporting the 98% of public schools that are currently not funded to the MINIMUM level needed for every child is both targetted cost of living support and an investment in the future.

Western Australia's government has agreed to a historic $180.4 million settlement to address the decades-long injustice of wages stolen from thousands of Aboriginal workers between 1936 and 1972. So where and how were wages stolen, who stole them and what is being done about it now? - Правительство Западной Австралии согласилось на финансовое урегулирование в размере 180,4 млн долларов, чтобы адресовать десятилетия несправедливого отношения с украденными зарплатами тысяч представителей Аборигенных народов с 1936 по 1972 год.

How to Trade Stocks and Options Podcast by 10minutestocktrader.com
Welcome to another captivating episode of OVTLYR Live, where we bring you the latest headlines and trading insights. Today, we've got three major stories that are sure to keep you engaged. Let's dive in! Starbucks Raises Wages Without Price Hike! ☕ In an era where price hikes have become commonplace, Starbucks is making headlines with an uncommon approach. They are giving their diligent employees a raise without passing on the cost to you, the loyal customer. While a 3% wage increase might not sound groundbreaking, it's a notable step, especially in today's economic climate. A few weeks ago, we discussed how government intervention in California forced McDonald's and Chipotle to increase their employees' wages. The responses were mixed, with some applauding the move, while others believed it was merely a small step. Now, Starbucks is following suit, committing to a minimum 3% wage increase, effective from January 1st. You might wonder, what can a 3% raise truly achieve? It may not buy you a mansion, but it's a start. Starbucks framed this announcement as part of an expanded benefits package for its employees. They are quick to highlight that this wage increase is well above the industry average. Although we may not have exact figures on the industry average, a 3% increase, while not earth-shattering, is a move in the right direction. But here's the real game-changer—Starbucks has no intention of raising menu prices to offset the wage increase. Yes, you heard it right! In a time of rampant inflation and companies swiftly passing on the financial burden to consumers, Starbucks is taking a bold stance by absorbing the cost themselves. This marks a significant shift in the fight against rising prices and inflation. If we can increase our incomes without a corresponding increase in prices, we, as consumers, are the true beneficiaries. Starbucks is setting an example for others to follow. The only thing that would be better is if they decided to reduce their prices to attract even more customers, but you can't win them all, can you? While it's true that inflation has cooled slightly, it remains at 3.7% compared to the previous year. However, it's essential to understand that inflation is cumulative. If it was up 10% in year one and an additional 3.7% in year two, the cumulative effect is over 14%. In simple terms, prices are still rising, and the financial pressure on households is far from over. The consequences of this credit card debt crisis are not limited to the borrowers alone; it impacts the economy as a whole. As more people struggle to make ends meet, the ripple effect of these financial hardships could have far-reaching consequences. Now, let's take a look at the trading data for a company that often plays a significant role in this narrative—Capital One Finance. Capital One Finance received a buy signal on November 6th, offering a potential return of 39.77%.

Today is the monthly reminder that average hourly earnings are not wages. When the composition of the labor market shifts, the gap between the two is likely to grow. In other words, it is time for the US employment report. The UK recently admitted that no can trust its labor market data, and it is worth remembering that US non-farm payrolls is based on a survey with a less than 50% response rate.
Thousands of garment workers in Bangladesh, one of largest garment-producing countries in the world, are took to the streets of capital Dhaka to demand better wages.
