Costco CEO Craig Jelinek supports raising the minimum wage.

Costco announced record profits today, averaging $10,000 in profit per employee compared to $7,400 at Walmart. The secret to Costco’s success is paying employees well, providing benefits, and giving them an opportunity to unionize.

So large corporations’ excuses that treating & paying workers well would damage profits are all a crock of shit.

This is why I have a Costco membership and not a Sam’s Club membership.

Facebook founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg only launched his immigration reform political action group, Fwd.us, last month, but it’s already becoming controversial. On Friday Reuters and AllThingsD reported that the group, which boasted membership by some of Silicon Valley’s most recognizable entrepreneurs and investors, is losing two big names: entrepreneurs Elon Musk and David Sacks. Reuters said that Musk departed because the group funded ads for senators vocalizing support for the oil pipeline, the Keystone pipeline, and oil drilling in Alaska. Think Progress reported last month that Fwd.us has spent a considerable amount of money on these anti-environmental ads. Various environmental groups have been protesting the ad funding.
MG’s gain is the realization of a shared dream in tech, of an industry without friction. There won’t be reporters, or publicists, or investors—in the Crunchy utopia favored by Siegler and his ilk, everyone can do a little of each. The wolf watches the lamb, the Apple apologist invests for the Google, and if you work hard enough, you too can be a flak of all trades. Don’t give up. Write harder. Think less. Spend resources. Just win, baby.
His posts have notably covered Apple—his favorite barrette-festooned pony—as well as Google, his new (second) boss

I feel the same way.  The de-industrialization of America is killing me. 

Will my sons end up with a bunch lathes, English wheels, mills and welders when I shuffle off this mortal coil?  Yep.  Will they have any idea how to use that ephemera?  If I do my job correctly they will.  It beats the hell out of leaving them my dated electronic devices.

Amen

Cool video - not sure I agree that we are doomed because of de-industrialization and today’s youth (they rock btw much smarter and wiser than I was at that age).  Nevertheless, this guy is interesting.

SNL skit @ Google Glass.

In its favour, if Google Glass didn’t exist, all these Silicon Valley guys would be having affairs or buying unsuitable motorbikes
