CBC splits single white man’s salary between two women, two minorities
Following the departure of longtime anchor Peter Mansbridge, CBC executives have decided to hire a diverse collection of hosts, each of whom will receive an equal share of Mansbridge’s previous salary.
“Mansbridge was one of the greatest journalists of our generation,” said CBC president Hubert Lacroix. “Sure, he was a high school dropout but we felt there was something about his skin and penis that made him worth $1.1 million annually plus a pension of $500,000 a year for the rest of his life.”
[…]
I sent the revised salaries to HR and they said the numbers – when combined with the gender and ethnicity – made perfect sense. It was a huge win for diversity,” said Lacroix. “These new hosts send the right message to women and minorities across Canada: if you study hard and do great work you can one day do a quarter of the job of an uneducated white man.”
Cuba did not fail. It became what it was designed to become. The cult of the leader. Venezuela has adopted the Cuban plan. So many parallels. A large ignorant underclass of rather low intelligence and little motivation in both. Venezuela imitates Cuba. It will not fail. Over the years, the Venezuelan diaspora will spread from just Columbia to other surrounding countries and to the U.S. Just like Cuba. The rest of the world will move on but Venezuela will survive and in 50 years become quaint, a relic of a time past. Just like Cuba. They’ll make do with what they have. Just like Cuba.
CUBA, CUBA, CUBA. Venezuela will not fail. The lowest common denominator for the people. It is the plan. VIVA la Bolivarian Revolucion. Viva Chavez! Viva Maduro!

Re the grain hopper: couldn’t anyone find the ON/OFF switch? Or were they just starved of entertainment.
I read somewhere that CBC TV is watched by only about 6% of Canadians — that’s awful, given the price we pay for this. I say get rid of CBC TV. You can keep the radio as lots of old folks still are attached to radio, and it is much cheaper, but CBC TV lends nothing to the mix of Candian TV programming. Their news broadcasts are identical to CTV’s (except now they will have four faces). Really, it is kind of silly.

Re the bin collapse. They cheaped out on the build. Should have had bin wall stiffeners installed. It’s unbelievable how much downward pressure is exerted by flowing grain (being extracted at the hopper bottom). Once compromised, it’s only a matter of time until complete failure.
I think you nailed the problem in this incident. My experience over the years when I have seen bins collapse the cause was exactly as you describe. A few bins on our yard had the stiffeners installed a half inch or so above the concrete and after a few years the stiffeners were resting on small steel pads on the concrete and you could see the corrugations had collapsed an equivalent amount.

Samantha Power, ‘unmasked’:
Power is believed to be the anonymous official responsible for “hundreds of unmasking requests during the final year of the Obama administration,” according to current and former U.S. officials who spoke to the Free Beacon about the ongoing investigation.
Efforts by the former Obama administration to obtain the names of Trump allies included in raw intelligence reports have fueled speculation that subsequent leaks to the press were orchestrated by the former administration and its allies in a bid to damage the current White House and smear Trump’s most senior confidantes.
Rep. Devin Nunes (R., Calif.), chair of the House Intelligence Committee, which is handling the probe, petitioned Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats last week to request his help in addressing the unmasking issue.
Nunes disclosed in his letter that the former Obama administration had “easy access” to sensitive classified information and that they may have used it to “achieve partisan political purposes, including the selective, anonymous leaking of such information.”
Congressional investigators uncovered that “one official [whose] position has no apparent intelligence-related function”—now believed to be Power—”made hundreds of unmasking requests during the final year of the Obama administration.”
Little justification was provided for the request of this sensitive classified information, which government insiders described as outside the purview of a U.N. ambassador. http://freebeacon.com/national-security/former-u-n-amb-power-unmasked-hundreds-last-year-obama-admin/
