Why the inequality?

But your workers aren't paid equally!! What's up with that?
Because one has been with me 20 years and is far more senior than the rest. 2 are clerical so they're paid less. I'm into meritocracy...not like our German President or the last GOP silver spooner we had.
Hey Bruddah I hope it's working for you.

Sounds like its working for you. But proceed to talk out both sides of your mouth, when of course your foot is not stuck in it.

Yes, I advised The Donald not release his tax returns just for that reason.

Why did you skip the stuttering Kenyan? He couldn't hold a private sector job to save his life, he is the ultimate spoonie.
Daffy?
Daffy is that you masquerading as Thurston Howell III ?
Good god lovey, I forgot what a pompous ass you can be....
Tough to get ones foot in ones mouth when one has their head stuck up their ass...wouldn't you agree?
It's great that your "business is incredibly stable".
It's a wonder as you seem to be over caffeinated, over opinionated and way out over your fricken ski's
So how many folks do you employee Thurston?

McEnroe: No, I’m not going to apologize to Serena Williams

“It was not necessary.”
Give John McEnroe credit for unintentional grandmaster trolling this week — and for sticking to his guns, advisedly or not. The former number-one men’s tennis player bluntly responded “no” when the CBS This Morning panel asked him if he wanted to apologize to Serena Williams for remarks he made during an NPR interview, in which he speculated that the current top female player would rank “around 700” on the men’s circuit. On tour to promote a new book, McEnroe pointed out that his autobiography never brings up the topic, and that he was only guilty of an honest response to an off-topic question:
The hosts seemed aghast at McEnroe’s lack of remorse, although he did say that the exchange was “not necessary,” and that he’d rather talk about the book. (Even so, the panel kept at this topic for half of the segment.) A look at the NPR transcript shows that McEnroe has a point, and that Lulu Garcia-Navarro went out of her way to make a mountain out of a mundane observation:
Garcia-Navarro: We’re talking about male players but there is of course wonderful female players. Let’s talk about Serena Williams. You say she is the best female player in the world in the book.
McEnroe: Best female player ever — no question.
Garcia-Navarro: Some wouldn’t qualify it, some would say she’s the best player in the world. Why qualify it?
McEnroe: Oh! Uh, she’s not, you mean, the best player in the world, period?
Garcia-Navarro: Yeah, the best tennis player in the world. You know, why say female player?
McEnroe: Well because if she was in, if she played the men’s circuit she’d be like 700 in the world.
Garcia-Navarro: You think so?
McEnroe: Yeah. That doesn’t mean I don’t think Serena is an incredible player. I do, but the reality of what would happen would be I think something that perhaps it’d be a little higher, perhaps it’d be a little lower. And on a given day, Serena could beat some players. I believe because she’s so incredibly strong mentally that she could overcome some situations where players would choke ’cause she’s been in it so many times, so many situations at Wimbledon, The U.S. Open, etc. But if she had to just play the circuit — the men’s circuit — that would be an entirely different story.

Sarah Palin slaps the New York Times with a lawsuit – here’s why
She's still got it.

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is suing the New York Times over an editorial that cause an online furor for suggesting that she was responsible for Jared Loughner attacking then-Congresswoman Gabby Giffords in 2011.
In the stunning opinion piece from the New York Times editorial board, they said the crazed gunman Jared Loughner was influenced by a map with gun crosshairs above electoral districts.
“In 2011, when Jared Lee Loughner opened fire in a supermarket parking lot,” it read, “grievously wounding Representative Gabby Giffords and killing six people, including a 9-year-old girl, the link to political incitement was clear. Before the shooting, Sarah Palin’s political action committee circulated a map of targeted electoral districts that put Ms. Giffords and 19 other Democrats under stylized crosshairs.”
Contrary to their statement, there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that Loughner ever saw that map, or that he was motivated by any political animus at all. He had become obsessed with Giffords long before the map was distributed, and he was found to be impaired by severe mental illness.
The New York Times later apologized and corrected the piece, but not before Palin took notice and lambasted them on her Facebook page.
“With this sickening NYT’s editorial, the media is doing exactly what I said yesterday should not be done,” she wrote. “Despite commenting as graciously as I could on media coverage of yesterday’s shooting, alas, today a perversely biased media’s knee-jerk blame game is attempting to destroy innocent people with lies and more fake news.”
“As I said yesterday,” she continued, “I’d hoped the media had collectively matured since the last attack on a Representative when media coverage spewed blatant lies about who was to blame. There’s been no improvement. The NYT has gotten worse.”
CNN’s Jake Tapper posted the first page of the complaint against New York Times that accused the newspaper of defamation.
