Heh. I'm sure BLM would join the BLM in being openly contentious with the Bundys.

Read BLM as Black Lives Matter. Didn't make sense. Then I was like "ooooohhhh" Bureau of Land Management!

Hurtful. But accurate.

Good on em. Let's hope it carries over to permanent wage increases.

Yeah...we all know this is political theatre (Except probably Wiz). We'll see if substantial change occurs in coming years.

Latest Bundy trial declared a mistrial.

The reasons for the mistrial are scary. Its this sort of gov't BS that feeds the paranoia groups and generally undermines faith in our gov't/legal system.

This is probably more prevalent then people realize, and it is very damaging in terms of public perception. Prosecutorial processes could use a thorough vetting, top to bottom, IMO...there is some symmetry there to previous discussions on civil forfeiture, in regards to institutional behavior.

Good for the minimum increase. Agree that the bonuses need to convert to permanent wages.

As for AT&T investment, that additional $1B would get them back to their 2016 spend level, per this from WaPo:

AT&T spent about $23 billion building out infrastructure in 2016, and estimates this summer suggested it was on track to spend $22 billion in 2017.

But trickle down doesn't work! Those rich bastards will just hoard their money and take it overseas! Selfish pricks!

Some corporations will tell you they don't believe in salary increases but they make it up with yearly performance bonuses. Until they have a bad year and cancel the bonuses. Or you get the gift that gives all year long.

The point being that they aren't really increasing spend over what they were doing in the supposedly restrictive Obama environment. Businesses spend when they have opportunity, market, demand.
