Great find! Thanks.
The space program, and Apollo particularly, is absolutely fascinating. I'll watch, read or listen to anything about it. If you haven't seen it, the Apollo 11 documentary on Amazon Prime is excellent. It's all original source, archival material. Some of it has never been shown until now. "The Last Steps" about Apollo 17 is also very good.
Great find, tomcat! I hope to spend some quality time on that site.
I had it bad for the space program. If you weren't alive then, I don't think you could comprehend what a big freakin' deal Apollo 11 was. Biggest event of my life. Bigger than JFK, bigger than 9/11. I was five years old when Alan Shepard rode Freedom 7. My dad was an inspector in a steel mill, and as we sat watching a Mercury countdown, he said to me, "You see that gantry holding up that rocket? I inspected some of the steel in that." I faked the occasional stomachache so I could stay home to watch a few Gemini launches. I cried when Grissom, Chaffee, and White died on the pad in Apollo 1. And Apollo 11? I watched as much of it in real time as I could. Everybody I knew stayed up to watch the moon walk, and most of us had black and white Zenith sets. If your screen was bigger than 21", you were lucky. I consider among the highlights of my career that three of my employers made stuff that helped put astronauts in space, including the rubber in Neil Armstrong's boots and the secret sauce in the in-orbit repair capabilities that allowed the shuttles to fly again after Columbia.
Damn! JB never checks our Amazon account and I bought him an Apple Watch for his birthday, so of course he checked it just now and saw that I got him one.
That's what you get for retiring Mike Hunt. Karma

In a finance meeting talking min wage. Here is the whole ramification of the $15//hr movement. We will have to increase everyone’s pay now and how is that paid for - increased prices. So, we will be right back to where we are.

I do think it’s very funny how people have no clue on what the real ramifications are when you raise the minimum wage dramatically in a short period of time. Lol

People want these evil and greedy corporations to pay their employees a living wage, and think these evil and greedy corporations are just going to eat the increased cost without firing people, cutting hours and raising prices. Morons.
Sounds crazy, but how about you tackle entitlement reform. Give people three years to get off welfare and the whole time provided education services so they can learn a trade or real world skills so that when the welfare is up, they can get a good paying job and not reliant on minimum wage paying jobs.

Waiting on Kevin James tickets to go on sale.
Boom. Got them and good seats.
Its very simple why that never gets addressed.
And this is not party specific, because neither have addressed it. Most believe it is not electable. Therefore it is impossible to get done, so nobody cares about the actual citizens and their growth at an alarming rate, but rather getting re-elected.
Most companies have already raised their minimum wage with almost no clue to the consumer, half the states have higher minimum wage laws already. I don't think it's as big of a thing as it was in the past, but its just politicians trying to say look we did something and when it isn't passed they can blame other people. Its not genuine trying to help people its identity politics. As a reference Bank of America is going to 20 an hour, Wells Fargo is 15 an hour, WalMart is 11 an hour, Target is 14 an hour, Washington state is 12 going to 13.50 an hour while Seattle is 15, and so on. I think minimum wage is too low, but doubling it probably isn't the best idea, should have been on a sliding scale nationally and within the states. Should have grown with inflation nationally and each state should slide based on cost of living and growth. It didn't and here we are, but as I said before its all for show and nothing will happen currently other than get people "outraged".
And as far as people upstream getting bumps due to minimum wage increases in companies, I know personally where I work did when they raised it everyone received a 3% bump, and the hospital system my wife works for when the raised theirs to 13 an hour I believe it gave everyone a 7% bump.
Did they eat those increases in payroll costs and payroll taxes?
