The Rich continued to bank on the misery of the Poor this week, with almost total impunity. Happy Labor Day!
Back-To-School Tweaking
In honor of the hard-working brass at CPS, let’s tweak a few other key indicators, shall we? How about:
- Tweaking the MLB standings to take team value into account.
- Tweaking the rules so that some other guy takes the fall.
- Tweaking your alignment before anyone knows what it is.
- Tweaking your nose at the law . . . wait, didn’t we just write about this? Happy Labor Day, everyone!
