@vegos I agree. To most organizations, their primary concern is reach. So they congregate on big #corpocentric #socnets, even when the central corporation running things is actively hostile to their point of view.
Then they're butthurt when their accounts are shadowbanned.
Years ago, I tried to persuade some local Black churches and ethic-focused organizations to join !GNUsocial and #Diaspora, but was unsuccessful. I think they all joined #Facebook, where their posts are hidden by the algorithms.

One of my high school social studies teachers was in Europe during World War II. He used to tell us about the Central European Dictator's charismatic radio speeches. Anyway, I found out he was still alive as of 2019.

Today is #coin_laundry day. At the laundromat, I think I just saw the last five minutes of The Goonies. Never saw it before, but a couple of faces looked familiar.

@guizzy @coolboymew @stellar@fedi.asturztau.be Probably for ESRB reasons, though keeping their underwear could also have been a fantastic sponsorship opportunity for the Barney the Purple Dinosaur and Teletubbies companies.

A while back, I bought Catan (The Settlers of Catan) to send to #sonTwo. The other day, I mentioned that I had it, and he said that they have it already. #sonOne plays games, but they seem to be of the Cards Against Humanity type. So I contacted #Daddy_A and he was excited about it ... he's been wanting to buy it for some time.

@mangeurdenuage Could it be cataracts?

McDonald's and Waffle House give up fight against $15/hr minumum wage. https://news.yahoo.com/ceos-chains-mcdonalds-waffle-house-130100581.html [news yahoo com]
Given that a new McD's franchise cost 1.3 - 2.3 million dollars, this was always crocodile tears. They tend to be so profitable that people will invest and / or borrow millions of dollars in order to own one, meaning that the return is higher than whatever they were doing to reach that financial level.

If we inflation adjust the $2-$3 minwage in the 1970s, we get pretty close to $15 today.
-
@lnxw48a1 The problem with the inflation adjusted target is that it fails to take into account localized inflation of housing costs.

>While the national minimum wage did rise roughly in step with productivity growth from its inception in 1938 until 1968, in the more than five decades since then, it has not even kept pace with inflation. However, if the minimum wage did rise in step with productivity growth since 1968 it would be over $24 an hour today, as shown in the Figure below.

@geniusmusing Indeed. I was mostly trying to show that the "$15 minimum wage will bankrupt McDonald's" people were wrong.

The “auto warranty” spam robocallers are back in action. Until a couple of weeks ago, it had been months.
Today, they were spoofing a #SoCal number from Long Beach ( #CA ); area code 562.
I know AT&T can usually identify them as “potential spam / scam”, but this call was not so identified.
