"Workers at the Hinduja family’s Lake Geneva home alleged they were paid $8 for an entire 18-hour shift, an amount less than one-tenth required under Swiss law.
The family members faced criminal charges of human trafficking for allegations they illegally brought the household staff in and out of Switzerland after confiscating their passports and prevented them from leaving the Swiss property."
It’s just on some TCL tvs that have Roku built in. This might be TCLs fault, they control their updates
Yeah that’s correct. It’s pretty wild that things work this way. Most people think that we still have fractional reserve banking, which is where the bank has $1 in reserve and they lend it to many borrowers simultaneously. With no reserve requirement they can essentially loan money that doesn’t exist. Banks want to avoid succumbing to a bank run where too many clients make withdrawals at the same time. But essentially they operate like a retail business that determines how many products to keep on hand in order to meet demand on any given day. Bank loans create both a credit (to the borrowers account) and a debit in the bank’s main ledger, the debit is a liability as we discussed, the bank must be prepared to pay.
Banks are limited by their ability to find qualified borrowers who will repay their loans.
A checking account is a liability to a bank because it must be prepared to pay out the balance if the account holder decides to withdraw. Forcing banks to treat crypto holdings as liabilities makes the bank hold more in reserves in order to be better prepared for a bank run.
What’s the debate?
It’s difficult to compete with Chinese companies that operate at a loss and are subsidized by the Chinese government.
The article says the Trump administration considered killing Assange but gave up the idea. The article says that the new plan is to kill him by putting him in prison for the rest of his life. This isn’t killing someone though. Language is meant to convey meaning, this is just word play.
Also, I don’t really feel empathetic towards Assange, he acted as a Russian mouthpiece with his show on RT and his interference in the 2016 US presidential election. From WaPo: “Assange is a foreign national who reportedly collaborated with Russian intelligence to derail Clinton’s candidacy. As unredacted portions of the Mueller report show, during the 2016 presidential election campaign, WikiLeaks communicated both with Trump advisers and with Russian-intelligence (GRU) front organizations, DCLeaks and Guccifer 2.0. WikiLeaks subsequently sought to cover up its connections with the GRU.”
Yeah there’s no law preventing it but you wouldn’t have the ability to write a check or to send money by Zelle, as an example. You would need someone outside the jail to make those payments on your behalf.
Edit: I wonder why people are downvoting me. When someone is arrested and put in jail they just can’t do normal things. Maybe some people eventually get computer access in prison but realistically you couldn’t depend on it
I don’t understand how Israel can create this humanitarian crisis and then prevent aid from helping. I just went to Oxfam’s website to see what they are doing and where donations are going and they’ve only been able to provide about 6,000 food parcels because Israel won’t allow aid workers to have access. As human beings we have a moral obligation to save humans from dying needlessly but Israel is doing this on purpose. They don’t deserve this, it doesn’t make sense.
Did they terminate her employment, or did they terminate her life?
Speaker wire. Expensive speaker wire will not sound any better. You could use a coat hanger and get great sound. Tip: every few years cut the wire ends and expose fresh wire to use. Over time the wire can oxidize if I recall correctly.
They’ll reveal that GNU was actually Unix all along.
Right now I’m listening to The Deprogram. It discusses the problems with capitalism from socialist’s perspectives. It’s very entertaining
Hell’s Angels lived next door to me 25 years ago. Always doing meth and taking about weird stuff.
I’m so tired of swiping about and getting Scott
