None - The BBC does have adverts | 4 | As usual with the "pay gap" propaganda pieces the most important information is missing. How does the pay gap look when accounting for relative viewership (i.e. how much ad revenue each personality brings to the company), years on the job, qualifications, experience, working hours, etc.
When those factors are accounted for fully I would wager - as is *always* the case - that the pay gap is reduced to zero. Judge Judy is the highest paid person in all of television, anywhere in the world. Why? She brings in the most money. I don't see Judge Joe Brown complaining; his show has fewer viewers.
Or is the argument that all men and women should make the same amount, regardless of talent, qualification, working hours, experience, viewership etc., 'because feminism'? Is that the argument? Equal pay for *equal* work is feminism. If personalities produce equal revenue for a company and possess equal qualities, the pay should be equal.

Straw man? Nowhere did I claim that Morgan didn't do it without of a sense of enlightened self-interest but there were other ways to approach the issue without also benefiting the common American. I think I read that book back in my Poli Sci days. Doesn't it mention how Vanderbilt could have prevented the panic of 1870-something(?) but the concept of bailing out the federal government wasn't thought of previous to Morgan and it wasn't likely that V would have chosen to do so anyways since it was panic was the mechanism that allowed him to almost monopolize the railroad industry?

Why can't and shouldn't that person - affluent by any definition - accept a $50 000 pension, have the pooled money used for other, more equitable purposes and if they want more they can save privately like most others are asked to do. That is where I have the issue and as a person who has voted NDP or liberal all my life I am tired of it being frowned on to question certain ideology i.e. labour = good (always) and everyone else = bourgeoisie = bad.

That is the question. Why do people like you want to go after pension plans for those who are middle income but seem to have sympathy for closing loopholes that the rich use just because the Chamber of Horrors spouts opposition to it.
DB pension plans should have and would have been quite solvent had laws been written so as to not allow companies from borrowing and taking payment holidays from them. It's time for people like you to wake up and discover that these rules have been written to benefit the affluent for decades and its time that rules and laws were written for all the people and not just a select few because they donate to the political elite. It wouldn't hurt you to read this instead of being critical of those with DB pensions.

Hard to ignore the trends. | 4 | "...The primary reason I usually end up voting for the Dems is because they are less likely to tank the economy...."
I have a question about this that I don't have an answer to. I imagine a lot of legislation takes several years to truly have an impact on the economy. So, sometimes I wonder if the Dems, at least for the past two Democrat administrations, have actually been beneficiary of what transpired during the Republican years. Was the economic boom during the Clinton years a result of some of the legislation from GH and Reagan? Did big money in the hands of the corps result in the technologies and industries that drove the boom of the 1990's? And, the upswing during the Obama years..were they partially a result of the low prime lending rates of the GW admin along with the tanked housing market, that provided investment opportunity? I know some who benefited from the housing market crash. Even I did.

At the time, the City had completed surveys for the first 3 phases and was getting ready to do phase 4 (urban HNL). Based on the direction of the State, the City decided to start construction on phase 1 rather than wait the 4-5 months it would take to survey phase 4. I didn't like that decision at the time because that opened the door for potential legal challenges, but the City thought it would save time and money. This led to the lawsuits that shut construction down for 18 months and led to tens of $millions in change orders. Even worse, that delay held up inking contracts for phase 3 and 4, and during that 18 month period Honolulu's construction market exploded along with labor and materials costs. I think that single decision probably set HART back 3-4 years & may end up costing $1-2 billion. | 4 | Secondly, I believe that the original alternatives analysis should have included more cases. Many within the City felt that elevated, steele rail was the obvious choice and that limiting the alternatives to "build, no build" would save time, money and debate. I disagreed then and am pretty confident that no money or time or debate was saved by that choice. I would have included BRT, at-grade light rail, elevated rail (maglev, steele, rubber tires), and "no build". I would also have wanted the City to study a shorter Phase 1 line from Aloha Stadium (or even the Airport) to Ala Moana, and expansion to Kapolei in later years. The first line in every city is always the hardest to build because people are unfamiliar and skeptical. Also, IMO the biggest need for rail is to relieve the bus congestion in town (where buses ave 4-8 mph), which prevents the City from providing frequent bus service outside of town and any expansions of overall transit system capacity. | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [45447087, 45535393, 45485526, 45486432, 45535968] |

Duncan is credited with significantly raising student performance on national and state tests, increasing graduation rates and the numbers of students taking Advanced Placement courses, and boosting the total number of scholarships secured by CPS students to more than $150 million."

In fact, Gustafson says, "I have learned from victims' advocates that seeking out victims — even to make amends and express my sorrow — could very likely result in re-victimization. So I wouldn't do that. If they ever contacted me, I would be very happy to talk with them, in whatever way would be safe and appropriate." | 4 | This second story (centering on Gustafsen) pretty much sets this up for the church. Here we have a priest who was an abuser, and wants to make things right. So he and others decide he should be at the center of the program.
While that's certainly his right, it's ALSO the right of others to just walk away, to want no part of it. That is a great example of the trust gap in the church today. Sadly, for the most part, it's still the same old cadre of bishops running the church. Somehow, there's been very little house cleaning, very little change.
The simple truth s that it's not the role of the abuser, the sinner, the one who inflicts injury on another, to tell victims how they should feel, act or move forward. Can a sinner repent, and grow? Of course: the concept is at the core of Christianity itself. Should that same person have any rights over the injured party? No.

St Paul tells us "Rejoice always". And then - as if to make himself even clearer - he repeats it. Read again his later letters, it's like the joy is spilling out of him.
And what did the Psalmist today tell us in the Holy Mass? "give your strength to your servant."
That's HOW we can be joyful amid even great troubles...we're using His strength. Our intimacy is so close, that it's His love and joy spilling out of us.
