PA: The House Speaker Wants Schools Open
Pennsylvania House Speaker Mike Turzai has never been a friend of public education in the Keystone State, and he has generally been pretty clear about it. But Monday he got extra Mike Turzai-ish when posting a six minute video attacking the state education head, teachers, schools, and teachers.

The prompt for his little videoutburst was a statement from the state education secretary Pedro Rivera that, given current info, PA schools mig... more »
Gig Economy Workers Suffer During The Pandemic, And California's Ill-Timed Delivery Service Lawsuit Just Made It Worse
If you had a choice, would you rather set your own hours or work around your schedule around family needs, or would you prefer being forced to go into an office where a corporate manager applies constant pressure to do more in the same amount of time and you have to pay for babysitting? Many people opt for the former, and the "gig economy", where you set your own schedule, has been a boon for them. But fewer employees mean less payroll taxes and California has $500,000,000 in unfunded liabilities, primarily for government pensions and debt, so if a company is not paying payroll taxe... more »

Crushing The States, Saving The Banks
Congress seems to be at war with the states. Only $150 billion of its nearly $3 trillion coronavirus relief package – a mere 5% – has been allocated to the 50 states; and they are not allowed to use it where they need it most, to plug the holes in their budgets caused by the mandatory shutdown. On April 22, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he was opposed to additional federal aid to the states, and that his preference was to allow states to go bankrupt. No such threat looms over the banks, which have made out extremely well in this crisis. The Federal Reserve has droppe... more »

Why do the Tories Want to Cut Furlough Payments?
And so we read Rishi Sunak is actively considering cutting furlough payments to staff. Instead of covering 80% of the wage bill up to £2,500/month one option in front of the chancellor is reducing it to 60%. After pledging there was to be no sudden cut off to the scheme, thereby giving business a soupçon of certainty in these most uncertain times, this utterly ridiculous idea ramps up the anxiety for millions already hard pressed by having a fifth of their income disappear. Surely there's more to it than this, surely our touchy-feely consensus-happy Tories couldn't be so crass? Sp... more »
