<b>January 16, 2014</b><br /><a href="http://business.time.com/2014/01/16/how-amazon-crushed-the-union-movement/">Time: How Amazon Crushed the Union Movement</a><br /><br /><div style="color: red;"><b><i>Although Amazon has a high-tech image, blue-collar employees do most of the work. Invariably, they earn much less than high-paid computer programmers.</i></b></div><br />On the one hand, this is absolutely shocking. Who would have guessed that high-paid white-collar employees invariably earn more than low-paid blue-collar employees? Time hasn't shocked me this much since they declared my snowboard to be a fad in the 1980s. I believe it was doomed to go the way of the hula hoop if memory serves. Oh how I laughed over that one at the time.<br /><br /><div style="color: red;"><i>News outlets have detailed everything from the exhausting nature of warehouse work (employees can walk as much as 15 miles daily) to ambulances waiting outside a facility to collect workers who overheated because of a lack of air conditioning.</i></div><br />On the other hand, that would definitely suck (pardon my language). I've walked a lot of miles in recent years and anything over 7 miles is risking a blister or two. I can't imagine doing it every day. The thought of an ambulance waiting for me after a long shift is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_them_eat_cake">icing on the cake</a>. I can definitely empathize with the frustration.<br /><br /><i style="color: red;">Look at the Tesla factory - what's the worker to robotic arm ratio in that factory?</i> - polarbear429 (in the comments)<br /><br />And on that third hand, the more the poorest among us are paid the sooner their jobs will be replaced by automation. Talk about a lose-lose situation for the workers. There is no backup plan once the jobs are permanently gone either, other than to pretend they will all miraculously find work elsewhere. As a side note, the more Amazon and other automated online retailers sell, the less brick and mortar retailers can sell. There are potentially <a href="http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/USTRADE">15 million retail jobs</a> at stake here, and when they go they will no doubt take others with them. Sigh.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/xZjtw6iZISE" width="420"></iframe><br /><br />This post inspired by Fritz_O who pointed out (in the comments found <a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com/2014/01/ten-questions-for-2014.html">here</a>) that the Amazon workers opted not to unionize.

Is the world really going to be a better place because of it? Is this the kind of productivity miracle that will lead to future prosperity? It's shameful that bitcoins require any energy at all to create. Good grief. At the very least, <a href="https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Making_ISK#Mining">they could have made a computer game out of it that's fun to play</a>. But no, it's just automated computers (in ever greater numbers) mining virtual bitcoins (in dwindling numbers). Put another way, it requires ever increasing streams of energy to generate fewer and fewer bitcoins. What a frickin' long-term plan of wasted effort that is (not necessarily from a miner's perspective, but for society in general).<br /><br />At least <a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com/2010/11/gold-porn-and-instant-gratification.html">gold gives you something shiny to fondle</a> once the mining's complete.

In fact with a premiere viewership of 15.2 million, that number is almost exactly one half the viewership of the premiere for Season 8 five years ago that brought in 30.4 million. Since then the premiere numbers have been on a steady downward trend, indicative not only of the downward trend of broadcast television viewing in general, but of a reality music performance show that first started over a dozen years ago.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1qXTvEt733_nH3eXL76notyPUOlavByOncDedjJ0iDIZFanhVCbSb-BI-pbdWF_j2wo_JR7uPr6MYB3ZbjzQ9FdeaDtvqeA_jSGsn_LuLct2vVeXbhFuBLUnAyfPGhKdSdJMe6T_TT31J/s1600/premiere-finales.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1qXTvEt733_nH3eXL76notyPUOlavByOncDedjJ0iDIZFanhVCbSb-BI-pbdWF_j2wo_JR7uPr6MYB3ZbjzQ9FdeaDtvqeA_jSGsn_LuLct2vVeXbhFuBLUnAyfPGhKdSdJMe6T_TT31J/s1600/premiere-finales.png" width="320" /></a></div><br />However, I did notice one glimmer of good news in the numbers. If you look at my second graph, I have added the viewership of the finales in red to go with the premiere numbers in blue. In every season except Season 10 (Scotty McCreery's year), the number of viewers of the finale were lower than the number of viewers of the premiere. And then in the following season the premiere numbers were higher than the previous finale numbers going from 8 to 9, and then 9 to 10, But since Season 10's finale, both the premiere of Season 11 and Season 12 had viewership lower than the finales of the previous seasons. However, Season 13's premiere actually had more viewers than Season 12's finale (14.3 M), the first time since the premiere of Season 10 (26.2M after Season 9's finale with Lee and Crystal with 24.2M.) So perhaps that can be some good news hidden in these not so great numbers. Hopefully people will dismiss last years unexciting finale and spark a trend more like Season 10 where the viewership will actually go up from the premiere to the finale. I know Fox is hoping for something like that! For that to happen I believe it will simply require some contestants that people can learn to love and want to follow. If they repeat the Season 12 snooze fest of contestants they can just watch the numbers continue to fall.

That would be, of course, Chris Daughtry whose album "Baptized" leads all the other Idols for a second week in a row at #42 (from #38 last week.) Except for the re-entry of Colton Dixon's "A Messenger" at #132, however, the rest of the Idols on the Top 200 chart are all winners who have been on the chart for a while: Scotty McCreery at #85 with "See You Tonight", Phillip Phillip's "The World From the Side of the Moon" at #178 and Carrie Underwood's "Blown Away" at #195. Kelly Clarkson's hot selling Christmas album which was #64 last week has completely dropped off the album chart now, probably because it is now the middle of January!<br /><br />The only Idol listed on <a href="http://www.roughstock.com/blog/country-album-chart-news-the-week-of-january-15-2013-with-news-on-latest-albums-from-luke-garth-cassadee-danielle-and-scotty" target="_blank">RoughStock's country album chart</a> this week is Scotty, whose album sold another 8K this week (a good number in mid January) to reach a total of 187K. His "See You Tonight" single continues to gain spins on radio stations, so hopefully it will continue to sell until he releases a new single which he will likely perform on a televised show in a few months.<br /><br />Interestingly Candice Glover's new single "Cried" is starting to get some play on Urban AC stations and moves to #24 on the mediabase chart there. She will also probably get to perform her single live on a televised program so hopefully that will help both her single and the album sales for "Music Speaks" in February.

Drita had a nightmare and she feels something really bad is going to happen. She dreamt that two people were in her house and creeping up on her and she shot them dead, one in the face and the other who knows, who cares. Drita says all her dreams MEAN something. As soon as she says this I immediately know where this is all leading…the big “REVEAL” that Alicia’s picture is in the newspaper! She says when she was little she would see things in her dreams and they would really happen…her mother and other family members have the same “gift.” She had a dream that Lee’s friend was going rat him out and he did. She feels she is going to be in a bad situation. She ties the dream into Renee and Natalie or the girls. She needs to know what her dream means. I need to know if the script really had to go into that much detail about Drita’s dream “gift?” All this proves to me is that she has no “gift,” as we will see later.<br /><br />At Alicia’s house, her brother walks in. She tells him she is disappointed that Eddie’s sentence was postponed, it leaves her life in limbo, but her brother makes her feel better. He wants to talk to her about her sentencing and the possibility of her going to jail. That scares her to death instead of cheering her up. Oh well. He says she has to prepare for it and talk about it. She can’t imagine being without her kids. He wants her to be ready for whatever might happen. Meanwhile, all the while he is talking to Alicia, he doesn’t appear to be one bit concerned. Did you notice how he was joking, smiling and relaxed? Last week, her son Anthony didn’t seem too concerned about jail when he asked her almost the same questions. Interesting. Do we think that maybe Alicia has a plea deal in place and the sentencing is really being held up by the restitution and fines the FEDs want her to pay? That’s what I think.<br /><br />Natalie pops in to visit Big Ang and they greet each other with a kiss at the door, like old friends. She came all the way from SOUTH Philly just to get advice about what to do about Renee. Drita pops in too. Lots of popping this episode. Natalie apologizes to Drita and Ang because she helped ruin their trip. She says Renee apologized to her…yada yada yada…and she told her she wasn’t a kid or trash. Renee told her she did think of her like that. Drita and Ang are “shocked” to hear this. Natalie doesn’t think Renee’s apology was sincere. Drita says Renee will never get over what Natalie said, it’s her nature. Ang says Renee doesn’t let anything go. Ang thinks it will be an ongoing thing. Excuse me a minute, but whose friends are Drita and Ang? I thought they were Renee’s friends. If I was Renee I would be more pissed at them than I am at Natalie.<br /><br />At Big Ang’s house everyone is stuffing their faces with her home cooking. AJ and his girlfriend are there, along with Neil. They start to talk about her son, AJ’s, baby that is on the way. Ang thinks his girlfriend should get a job, but all she does is stay home and sleep. Ang wants to tell AJ that she wants to have a baby with Neil. When she finally tells him she could have a baby, she can’t even keep a straight face. Neither can I. They tried this same storyline in the RHONY with Luann and Jacques. When 50+ reality stars start talking about having babies on the show it means they ran out of storylines and are desperate to create something out of nothing.<br /><br />Renee and AJ talk about Vegas. She admits to raising her hand to Natalie and she apologized, but Renee doesn’t think that they are over it. Renee feels she has to let Natalie go from her company. Natalie insulted her clothing line and, for Renee, that is the last straw. AJ makes sense, he says get over it. I’m with AJ. Renee finally realizes she has to let Natalie go as an employee, a friend, an acquaintance. Where’s the pink slip? I’m sure this will be a nice juicy scene in the near future. No way is Natalie coming back next season.<br /><br /><b>WARNNG:</b> The next scene is a <span style="color: red;"><b>SHOCKER</b></span> and may contain content that will make your eyes pop out of your head!  NOT!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr3DKbR6TgCoiOYTNCxktBhRRiCkmOcpN2TQzjFT7_8EbLHHE0-0wJ1CM4WxRzGdtP5LMt5EyM9HNDx_rCRvAsmyUCL2ifn8gcD6HMYrRKyceH56Oj-DBV5581VqT05LJZeW6jn1mi1Hs/s1600/Drita+Penny.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr3DKbR6TgCoiOYTNCxktBhRRiCkmOcpN2TQzjFT7_8EbLHHE0-0wJ1CM4WxRzGdtP5LMt5EyM9HNDx_rCRvAsmyUCL2ifn8gcD6HMYrRKyceH56Oj-DBV5581VqT05LJZeW6jn1mi1Hs/s1600/Drita+Penny.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>"What the f*ck is this Ang?"</b></div><br />At Café Latte, Big Ang and Drita meet. “Have you seen this???” Ang asks Drita as she flips open the newspaper. Drita’s eyes literally almost pop out of her head. Drita says this “MUST BE” what her dream was about. Of course, what else can two people sneaking around in your house that you shoot dead, mean? Isn’t it obvious? It was all about Alicia’s picture appearing in the paper. Ang says the article says Alicia was supposed to go to her son’s college and ended up in Vegas with them. The article has way too many details, says Ang, it has “rat” written all over it! Somebody must have given the newspaper Alicia’s picture, but who? Oh yes, it was Alicia herself. She tweeted it out on social media and somehow the newspaper got a hold of it. Turns out Alicia is her own “rat.” OR, maybe Alicia tweeted it out on purpose so it could be found? Did someone tip the paper off and add a few details so they would print it? After all, this little fiasco turned into a whole scripted episode or two. Meanwhile, Ang and Drita feel it is making Alicia look bad to the judge. Drita is nervous for her. They are both in total shock. I’m not worried, are you?<br /><br />Alicia is with Natalie and shows her the newspaper. Alicia tells her she asked for permission to go to Vegas. Do I think she asked the judge, yes I do. I think she told her the trip was necessary for her job. I read she gets paid $8,000 an episode and eight times three episodes in Vegas is $24,000. She thinks someone is feeding things to the press. I think someone is too. I think she purposely tweeted her own picture out so the press could print it and probably threw them a few extra details to create a story. She says all this is interfering with her case and her husband’s case. She told her lawyer to look into it. It has to be someone with a personal vendetta against her who is behind it all. She feels sorry for whoever did it because Eddie is coming home one day and he will take care of it. Now isn’t this all ridiculous? Maybe it was someone who had something to gain from leaking the picture? And, think about it, if they do two episodes about “the rat who leaked the pictures” that is $16,000 more in her pocket. Where oh where has the “reality” gone?<br /><br />Drita is her home with Giselle. Giselle’s personality has blossomed, she is a little diva, but her father’s daughter. Drita used to model. Drita wants to take her to an agent  for casting calls. Drita thinks she will love it and have fun with it. Nice little scene, Giselle is a doll.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV8A9us8Ry_iXFxHxCI1CTn8rHPOPV-av_SQz5eroYy08kWeucFMBXQ_HykNY6RndFiwyduDcDxvjJnx-4POEHf6DQuAzQ6mwx00j9y2jDuqiGgfGVCAP50x-67_e8Pc7DUkrRlfNvoz8/s1600/Alicia+Penny.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV8A9us8Ry_iXFxHxCI1CTn8rHPOPV-av_SQz5eroYy08kWeucFMBXQ_HykNY6RndFiwyduDcDxvjJnx-4POEHf6DQuAzQ6mwx00j9y2jDuqiGgfGVCAP50x-67_e8Pc7DUkrRlfNvoz8/s1600/Alicia+Penny.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Someone in the inner circle is out to get me!</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Paranoid much?</b></div><br />Alicia meets with her lawyer. She says she plead guilty to embezzlement. She is afraid the lies in the newspaper could affect her sentencing. The paper says they got her picture from her social media. And who posted the most damning item that could go against her own case? Duh! It’s still there. The lawyer thinks it could be a problem, it may make the judge react negatively. She seems nervous and her world is unraveling. It makes it look like she doesn’t care what her image is, it’s not exactly the image of a poor single mom that she has been selling to the court. The lawyer says things like this affect people’s attitudes. The lawyer says she can go to jail for up to 5 years. But if you watch the scene carefully, he doesn’t seem too concerned either. Maybe he is enjoying the free publicity?<br /><br />Big Ang finds more pictures of Alicia in the papers and the article says she is lying about how much money she makes. She calls Alicia to check on her. Alicia says someone is feeding information to the papers. Eddie is upset over it. Ang says it takes a lot of balls to rat. All these stories in the paper are lies says Alicia, who knows all about lies. Alicia says it could be pissing off the judge. Alicia doesn’t know who it could be leaking the information, but it’s someone close to them. Someone closer than she thinks. Someone as close as the nearest mirror. Look, the FEDs figured out that Alicia would be making money for being on Mob Wives. That money probably didn’t appear in her earnings because she hadn’t been paid anything by them at the time. Now the money is rolling in and they want it. It’s as simple as that. No one leaked anything that everyone didn’t already know. It’s like karma. She didn’t think anything of taking truckers’ pension money and now the FEDS want to return the favor and take hers. What goes around…comes around.<br /><br />Renee’s house, Drita is there. Big Ang calls to tell her Alicia is in the paper again, they want to know how much money she makes and they want her money to pay fines. Ang says this will not look good in front of the judge. Renee defends Alicia saying she isn’t hiding money she is a single mother. Ang tells them the judge asked to see her in the courtroom and that’s not good. Again Drita thinks this is what her dream was about. If anyone can tie Drita’s dream to Alicia’s situation I would appreciate your dropping a line in the comments. The only similarity I see is that both are as fake as her designer knockoffs.<br /><br />Drita’s house. Alicia arrives. She says she had <i><b>one moment</b></i> of fun in Vegas and these articles are making her out to be someone she’s not. <i>Poor poor pitiful me</i>.  Drita wants to know who she thinks is telling the newspapers what she is doing so she will be sentenced to prison. Alicia says the image they are putting out there is not her, she isn’t a party girl, she is content to be home with her kids. But they both feel someone is trying to take her down with all these “lies.” Alicia says it’s someone close to them who knows what is going on. She prays she is wrong. What lies? Lies that she went to Vegas, lies that she tweeted out her own picture in a skimpy bathing suit, lies that she is earning a salary for being on the show?<br /><br />Drita, Ang, Renee sitting in a restaurant discussing Alicia and her articles. Renee says there is a strong possibility she could go to jail. They are all very serious about it. Renee describes Alicia as a homebody. Drita says she is a nice woman. They worry about what will happen to her in jail. She is not a fighter. Drita says Alicia didn’t realize she was cooking the books, it’s all Eddie’s fault. Renee says Alicia said “I know everything my husband does” on the tapes and that is what got her in trouble. Ang thinks they should all go see her before the sentencing and show their support. Let’s see how well this works out.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy_dEzQSQHxhDQt5MZNHdWb-nggMcRUxweON8I-tLpCCWX9MVYKtXgCg2efpPyhpCEcHcZlvP5v-t6hLeyWNCM1fQ8dyB96wu_h8kcpMBl0IiVH1iKYZHxWhjp0FgQvUDMDQ8e-UW3ySw/s1600/Renee+Penny.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy_dEzQSQHxhDQt5MZNHdWb-nggMcRUxweON8I-tLpCCWX9MVYKtXgCg2efpPyhpCEcHcZlvP5v-t6hLeyWNCM1fQ8dyB96wu_h8kcpMBl0IiVH1iKYZHxWhjp0FgQvUDMDQ8e-UW3ySw/s1600/Renee+Penny.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Poor Renee tries to do good and,</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>as my mother would say, gets it up the ass</b></div><br />In SOUTH Philly, at Alicia’s house, the girls are going to meet and support her. They all feel someone is trying “to get her.”  Renee feels an obligation to help her because she has been friends with Edward for over 30 years. Alicia wants to get to the bottom of this “snitching” to the media. Alicia says her case was in a good place until all this came out in the paper and now she could get up to 5 years. Renee tries to give Alicia advice. Alicia says she did the books because she is straight and narrow and was the one to do the books the right way. She blames Eddie for all of it. He must have gotten her to cook the books without her knowing it. Now she thinks an evil person, with inside information, is feeding the media. “Someone in this circle,” says an accusing Alicia. Drita is confused. Ang says no one at this table would ever snitch. Alicia says someone is out to get her. Then Drita "subtly mentions" what Renee said about the wire taps and Alicia starts attacking Renee over it. Renee mentioned that Alicia is heard saying “I know everything my husband does” on the tapes. Alicia wants to know how Renee knows what is on those tapes? She doesn’t even give Renee a second to explain as she angrily screams at her across the table. Renee says there were 8 other co-defendants who heard the tapes. They were people she knows in Staten Island and they were discussing what they heard. Alicia wants to know who is talking about her tapes? Alicia continues screaming. Renee is shocked. She came to show her loyalty and support, and she gets attacked! Well now let’s see…<br /><br />It seems all Alicia’s problems are everyone else’s fault, not hers. She seems to be the innocent lamb who didn’t know her husband worked for the mob; who didn’t know she was cooking books and embezzling money; who doesn’t know she was selling knockoffs of designer items at her boutique; who didn’t realize that when you tweet and instagram your pictures in social media they are public information; who didn’t know she should report her Mob Wives earnings to the FEDs; who doesn’t think the FEDs can figure out she would be paid for being on reality television; and, who isn’t smart enough to know that if you want to portray yourself as a stay at home “June Cleaver” mom then don’t wear a bathing suit showing 90 per cent of your body, get slap happy drunk in Vegas, be on a show that is televised nationally and air all your business! Now someone please tell me which part of that is Renee’s fault?<br /><br /><br /><br />
