Glenn Simpson upset New York Times passed on Trump-Russia story before election - Washington Times:

"Glenn Simpson, whose investigative firm Fusion GPS produced the unverified Democrat-financed dossier, bemoaned the fact he could not persuade The New York Times to run a Trump-Russia conspiracy story days before the Nov. 8, 2016, election.
Fusion had lobbied the Times by having dossier author and British ex-spy Christopher Steele personally brief its reporter and other selected media outlets during two sessions."

Red Robin will offset minimum wage hikes by canning busboys | New York Post

Red Robin will offset minimum wage hikes by canning busboys | New York Post:
"ORLANDO, Fla. — Restaurant busboys, in line to earn a little more dough this year as minimum wage hikes hit across the country, are instead losing their jobs as chains look to cut costs.
Red Robin restaurants are located mostly in Western states, where the minimum wage has risen more quickly.
The Colorado-based chain already eliminated so-called expediters — who plate the food in the kitchen — and realized a cost savings of nearly $10 million last year, it said.
“We need to do that to address the labor increases we’ve seen,” Red Robin’s Chief Financial Officer Guy Constant told attendees at the ICR retail conference held here..."

Are skirts the next men’s fashion trend? | New York Post

Are skirts the next men’s fashion trend? | New York Post:
"In an era during which rules seem meant to be broken — and more and more people are calling for gender equality — it should surprise no one that the fashion world is the head cheerleader for change.
Case in point: the Fall 2018 Menswear designers presenting a variety of skirts on their runways.
A wrap skirt paired with a matching jacket showed up at the Astrid Andersen show in London, as well as a flasher-worthy trench dress at Alex Mullins, and a a flirty full skirt bounced along at Bobby Abley..."

Canada's Carbon Taxes, Other Boondoggles Add Pain to Record Cold Winter | Trending

Canada's Carbon Taxes, Other Boondoggles Add Pain to Record Cold Winter | Trending: 
"I returned the other day from a shopping expedition -- gas, groceries, pharmaceuticals -- with an empty wallet and a troubled mind. 
Prices for everything had spiked almost overnight, it seemed, and in some cases had nearly doubled. What was formerly a $70 grocery bill was now $107. 
A standard $75 for a tank of gas now set me back $100. 
A $30 bill for various pharmaceutical items now topped $40.
On the same day, we had our monthly heating oil delivery, a partial fill-up leaving us $500 poorer, not counting the Hydro One electricity bill of $140. 
Prices in my overtaxed home province of Ontario were always stratospheric, with many people having to choose between heating their homes and stocking their larders, a condition called “energy poverty.
...Apart from a bevy of new taxes hitting doctors, farmers and small businesses, our pretty boy Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has, ostensibly to fight global warming, imposed an onerous carbon tax on the country, a tariff which has kicked in with a vengeance. 
This explains in large part why I came home with an empty wallet -- prices reflect the new fiscal burden.” 
Industry has fled the province to avoid the crushing tax burden..."

Is Finland's Universal Basic Income Trial Too Good To Be True? - Slashdot

Is Finland's Universal Basic Income Trial Too Good To Be True? - Slashdot
"It was one year ago that Finland began giving money to 2,000 unemployed people -- roughly $652 a month (€560 or £475). 
But have we learned anything about universal basic incomes? 
An anonymous reader quotes the Guardian:
Amid this unprecedented media attention, the experts who devised the scheme are concerned it is being misrepresented. "It's not really what people are portraying it as," said Markus Kanerva, an applied social and behavioural sciences specialist working in the prime minister's office in Helsinki. "A full-scale universal income trial would need to study different target groups, not just the unemployed. It would have to test different basic income levels, look at local factors. This is really about seeing how a basic unconditional income affects the employment of unemployed people...."
Although the experiment may be impacted by all the hype it's generating, according to the Guardian. 
"One participant who hoped to start his own business with the help of the unconditional monthly payment complained that, after speaking to 140 TV crews and reporters from as far afield as Japan and Korea, he has simply not been able to find the time."

Rutgers prof: White women voted for Trump because 'sex difference is itself a racial structure' - The College Fix

Rutgers prof: White women voted for Trump because 'sex difference is itself a racial structure' - The College Fix:
"A Rutgers University women’s and gender studies professor thinks she has the answer to why white women seemingly voted against their interests in the 2016 presidential and last month’s Alabama US Senate elections.

“Simply put,” Kyla Schuller writes in a guest post for the Duke University Press blog, “sex difference is itself a racial structure.”

The professor, whose research interests include feminist science studies, biopolitics, and Transnational American Studies, claims that “sexual difference, as a concept, emerged as a function of race.” 

Her new book, The Biopolitics of Feeling, “zeroes in on this generally overlooked phenomenon.”

Indeed. 

Weird how so many think of sexual difference in terms of biology.

“The binary entities of man and woman were newly understood as thoroughly distinct in terms of mental, physiological, emotional, and psychological capacity,” Schuller writes. 

“Sex difference was presented as the singular attainment of a teleological evolution moving toward ever greater specialization.”

Well, when you put it that way …

Migrants Fleeing to Canada Learn Even a Liberal Nation Has Limits - The New York Times

Migrants Fleeing to Canada Learn Even a Liberal Nation Has Limits - The New York Times
MONTREAL — After fleeing to Montreal from Long Island, Marlise Beauville felt, she said, as if she had reached the Promised Land.
She entered the country last summer without immigration papers, yet received a work permit, a monthly stipend of 600 Canadian dollars, or $480, free health care and free French lessons. 
...Ms. Beauville was one of a surge of thousands of Haitian migrants who crossed over the border from the United States to Quebec last summer, spurred by a May announcement by the Trump administration that Haitians could lose their temporary protected status in the United States, granted after the 2010 earthquake that devastated their country.
...But Canadian officials are warning that even liberal Canada has its limits amid concerns, fairly or not, that illegal migration is stretching the immigration system to a breaking point and risks stoking a potential backlash..."
