Three more down

I have to admit, this the first truly warm day we've had...all year.  Not much breeze through the open window, though I will survive.  It does feel sort of nice, given that it is almost Memorial Day weekend...

I need to see this!

I think this is coming (an article on soon-to-be-bankrupted Gawker has more on the ramifications) sooner than we think, especially with the Fight for 15 stuff; on the one hand, these are...marginal jobs, if you will, and we can survive.  On the other hand..people rely on them for extra cash, real work, a way to get welfare benefits...if they disappear, what WILL happen to them?  For all the talk of spending on infrastructure, the idea of a CCC-style program...well, it will never fly, and the same people fighting for $15 are the cause...

Watched some films...yesterday was "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter" (quite good; fairly amusing, too, after watching "Mad Men") and "The Dragon Painter" (silent film, 1919, mainly Asian cast).  Tuesday was "The Hospital," a George C. Scott get up on modern medicine in 1971.  It was ok...but I was impressed with how...well, it's held up -- people sicker than ever, minority complaints about healthcare, too much concern for the bills.. all there.
