THREAD: The retail apocalypse in full swing: Gymboree closes 800 stores, Shopko 105, Payless 2300, Charlotte Russe 400. What’s behind it? Some blame Amazon or changing taste, but the real culprit is private equity. We’ll explain how PE makes money as these businesses fail. 1/12

.@billshortenmp: Within our first 100 days, if elected, Labor will restore penalty rates. Get them back to double time on Sunday's, & to double time & a half for the public holidays. MORE: http://bit.ly/2UO1LWr #livenow https://t.co/zaGTc8pTHI

what people forget is that is that the "cut" was removing the legislation that forces business to pay penalty rates. there is nothing stopping business from paying penalty rates on their own accord
so people now blame the government because business is greedy and doesn't want to pay their workers unless they have too

Not for nothing but if the Mueller report lets investigation into Erik Prince's war mongering happen I'd count that as a pretty big win 🤷‍♂️
> Giuliani: "In some ways I'd love to have a trial" to contest some Mueller findings

Rep. Duncan Hunter posts video hopping over a vehicle barrier near Yuma, saying “this is how easy it is to cross the border in Yuma.” Turns out, his terms of parole don’t allow him to leave the US. Turns out, that isn’t the border barrier after all. He faked this stunt. https://t.co/wMOWzlYRhT

Thai navy boards cabin of fugitive bitcoin-trading 'seasteaders' facing death penalty for violating Thai sovereignty. Soooo much to unpack here. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-thailand-seahome-idUSKCN1RW06T

(he fled, and the penalty is only possibly a death sentence, but the Thai government does seem pretty pissed for whatever reason)

We are losing Inter Library Loans at all Southern Ontario Libraries, and possibly all deliveries between branches. Individually negotiated replacements will only cost more. The money saved is less than a third of the public cost of political stickers being put on gas pumps.

1 dead in western Quebec as waters rise and army begins deployment
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/officials-remain-on-flood-alert-quebec-1.5105493
> Authorities remain on high alert for flooding across southern Quebec as waters continue to rise with military on the way to assist in evacuations.
> A least one death can be attributed to the flooding. A woman in her 70s was killed early Saturday morning in Pontiac, Que., about 50 kilometres west of Ottawa, when the car she was driving fell into a massive hole created after floodwaters washed out a road, Pontiac's mayor Johanne Labadie said.

Chilling. The prologue alone should be shouted from the mountaintop.
I have the audiobook, and I'm using transcription software. I'll post the prologue in a bit.
Trump is more than just stupid and dishonest. He's seriously dangerous.
Not that I didn't know that before, but holy shit.
