Boeing's 33,000 production workers voted to continue their weekslong strike yesterday, rejecting a 35% pay raise over four years and $7K bonuses, among other benefits.

And has a military personnel population which has only known combat tours and minimal rest before the next tour, do you think we’ll get a Peace of Westphalia?”

Zuckerberg makes $28,538 per minute
✔️
Today's testimony was 6 hours, so 360 minutes
✔️
$28,538 x 360 = $10.3 million — which is 221 times the median salary of a U.S. worker ($46,696)
Still think it's radical to tax the rich?
AND IT'S ONLY GETTING WORSE.

Mikster has me watch that pilot episode of Kathy Bate's new TV show, Matlock.

Father-son trivia
In the Los Angeles Lakers season opener last night, LeBron James and his son Bronny made NBA history as the first father-son duo to share the court as teammates.
In attendance were the first father and son to play together in Major League Baseball, back in 1990.
Who are they?
Each of the accused faces 15 counts of interstate prostitution connected to 15 alleged victims, who were all young men at the time, and one count of sex trafficking.

WOMEN VOTE V2
ON this date in 1915 - The Boyz started frantically packing their stuff up in a NY flophouse when they saw a large group of women gather outside their dwelling.
Bun Man halted Mr. Purple from leaping out the backdoor window just in the nick of time when it was determined les femmes were after a more noble purpose than fleecing the men.
