Like all things it started with them and then gained popularity through all social classes.

Yeah except if you read the article, he has called it what it is in the past according to others.

I read the article, the author provides no real proof of their claim. All of the prior things could have been sold as is, they just assume that people are melting it down because that's what they would do.

Were talking about destroying something worth 100 Mil on the black market to get stones with no certificates of authenticity. Some of the bigger stone cuts themselves are unique, cataloged and easily identifiable. So they still have a huge risk unless they recut them into smaller stones. All for maybe a few million.

Its possible that's what they are doing, it's also completely possible they have a buyer.

I am impressed that I wasnt off by an order of magnitude with my quick brain guesstimations. I was going to say $10, but that seemed a bit too low.

And yet private collectors have all sorts of stolen artwork in their collection.

Heck there is an article from 5 days ago where someone stole a picasso en route to the exhibit. It's not like they are going to disassemble that into parts before they sell it.

It might be maize, but it doesn't fit the old definition of corn. Sweet corn is a vegetable when consumed in the immature stage and not a grain.

The buyer was probably identified before the heist even happened.

When is she going to deny being a white supremacist rather than suing the people reporting her ties to them?

Also this is like 20 bucks to her.

No its just fascism, fascism is stupid.

Nicotine exacerbates anxiety. It's just an addiction, not a mental health coping method.

Its just the way she is standing, it makes her left knee appear lower than it is.

Not to be confused with the Handshake app for Jobs/Internships

Ooh, I would be on that horse.

Just got my timing belt done, hoping to get to do it again at 200k miles

Not to mention that few Palestinians currently alive ever voted for Hamas. The average Palestinian is 20 years old, 63% of their population is under 29. The last election was in 2006, meaning 63% of the current population would be 10 or younger when those elections happened.

Radiolab Episode from Tree to Shining Tree (air date 7/30/2016) is a really fun episode about mushroom networks.

I feel like you are still missing a piece of this puzzle.

It turns the migrant farm workers into almost an indentured servitude type class. Right now they demand free market wages which is often above minimum wage in that state. Once their immigration status is tied to their employer they have no ability to shop around for better pay.

So sure there is no "floor" right now, but the free market is the floor. This change might benefit some migrants who are getting bad deals currently, but overall it will harm the migrant workforce and drive labor costs down.

Without this migrant labor would get more and more expensive, as more and more people are deported.

Haha, you think they are keeping the rules the same? https://www.fisherphillips.com/en/news-insights/dol-issues-game-changer-rule-for-h-2a-farmworker-wages.html

In my state undocumented farm workers make a little more than minimum wage. After this rule change they will be able to legally pay them less.

These are the two most important points of the blog or article I posted:

• DOL’s Reasoning. The DOL estimates that agricultural employers will save over $24 billion over the next 10 years as a result of these changes.
• AEWR Examples. For some states, these AEWR changes will mean that the state minimum wage will become the highest applicable wage rate for H-2A workers. For other states, the new AEWRs will be lower than the state’s minimum wage. For example, California’s statewide hourly minimum wage for most employers for 2025 is $16.50. However, the new hourly AEWR in California after applying the state’s $3.00 downward adjustment for nonmonetary compensation is $13.45 for entry-level H-2A workers in the Skill I category and $15.71 for experienced H-2A workers in the Skill Level II category.
