Chelsea's salary?
"In late 2011, she crossed over to the dark and often invasive art of journalism, working at NBC News as a special correspondent ($600,000/year) until August 2014.
Today, Chelsea serves as vice chair of the politically controversial Clinton Foundation, which has raised $2 billion since 2001.
She’s a board member at Barry Diller’s IAC (paid a reported $300,000 a year, plus stock awards).
Related: “Liberals often claim that the little people, those without a college education or a subscription to the New York Times, are easy prey for demagogues. Lacking political nous and basic B.S.-resistance, apparently, these plain-thinking folk find themselves in thrall to frothing Fox News anchors and various other big-haired, well-known people who spout simple political messages. We can think independently, but they can’t, say snooty liberals,” Brendan O’Neill writes. “All of which makes the Cult of Ta-Nehisi Coates so ironic. The very liberals who mock rednecks for falling for the bluster of biblical or right-leaning nuts basically bow and scrape at the feet of Coates, treating his every utterance as a bolt from heaven.”

So, a barrel of oil costs ~$36 today. So a $10/barrel tax is a 27% tax. Which comes to $0.50-$1.00 of tax added to each gallon of gas.

“Many of the girls dress up as princesses and the boys are dressed like Spiderman. We don’t want to reinforce gender stereotypes in the nursery and therefore we have chosen to change the format of the arrangement this year,” Renate Kvivesen, the head of the Vikåsen institute, told Adresseavisa.

More evidence that mandating a higher wage kills jobs:
"Having to pay increased wages obviously diminishes a business's financial performance. Walmart voluntarily raised its wage to $9 an hour last April, ten announced in November that this resulted in a 10% reduction in earnings per share for the third quarter. This year Walmart is will raise its base wage to $10 an house an is forecasting as much as a 12% decline in earnings per share."
AND
"Let's look at Oakland, Calif., where the minimum wage is $12.55. When Walmart opened there in 2005, about 11,000 people applied for the 400 positions. those jobs will soon be gone, as the Oakland store is on the closure list. ...City Councilman Larry Reid to the San Francisco Chronicle that Oakland's minimum was 'was one of the factors they considered in closing the store.'"
AND
"In the face of increasing competition from online retailers such as Amazon, traditional stores like Walmart are minimizing expenses to stay competitive."
One thing Oakland desperately needs is jobs, but you won't get them if you price people out of them.
Keep in mind, too, that you can't measure the jobs never created because the cost of labor is too high.
U.S. President Barack Obama will launch a long-shot bid next week to impose a $10-a-barrel tax on crude oil that would fund the overhaul of the nation's aging transportation infrastructure, the White House said on Thursday.
What the hell happened to the money from the gasoline tax - the tax that was originally supposed to pay for maintaining and overhauling the nation's already-aging transportation infrastructure?

As to I.R.A. Darth Aggie's comment about the sex registry, I received an alert from my credit monitoring service (I had received the infamous OPM letter last year). I thought that they had flagged my YUGE washing machine purchase from last night, but instead they were alerting me to a sex offender who just moved into my area.
The dude is 22, which, to me, means either he got fresh with a girl, and she called the police, or maybe it was one of those "regret rape" scenarios that was successfully prosecuted. I'd be more worried if the dude was in his forties.

Well, the original Spendulus and Porkulus bills went to graft. This will also go to graft.
Only a Regressive wouldn't understand that such taxes are inherently regressive, and will hurt the poor disproportionately.

‘As oil crashes, is it time to short solar stocks?’ Gosh, I wish I’d read that headline a year ago. The solar stock it tipped for doom in January 2015 has since plummeted from $19 to $2.65.
Yes, hindsight can be a wonderful thing. But what if there were an area of the markets which you knew to be grotesquely overvalued as a result of ignorance, dishonesty, and false sentiment? You’d be mad not to bet against it, wouldn’t you? It would hardly be gambling: more like plain common sense.
This is how I’ve felt for quite some time about the climate change industry.

As to those who say dont drop your pants, well. . .
Anyone else find it amazing that in the USA that:
underage minors can get an abortion without parental consent,
insurance and the government will pay for prepubescent teen to undergo hormone 'therapy' in anticipation of a sex change by the time they are twenty,
and 13 years olds are tried as adults for crimes
- but any man or woman under the age of 35 who ISNT a drug addict and doesnt want kids cant get sterilized because doctors and insurance companies dont want to get sued if you change your mind?

But first, let’s note that the State of Texas didn’t defund Planned Parenthood until the middle of October of last year.
The article was published on Feb. 3.
Now I’m no doctor, and I certainly don’t write for the New England Journal of Medicine. But I’m fairly certain it takes more than three and a half months to conceive and ultimately give birth to a child.
This suggests that all those women who had babies and were factored into the increased birth data were already pregnant by the time Texas defunded Planned Parenthood. In fact, even if those women didn’t give birth until the day the article was published, they’d have already been about five months pregnant when Planned Parenthood was defunded in the state, assuming they carried their children to full term.
So we’ve established with a fair amount of certainty that the women included in this data weren’t having babies due to a lack of contraceptives – they were having them because they couldn’t as easily have an abortion.
