The Employer-Based Social Safety Is a Disaster. We Can End It.
Hamilton Nolan
Companies can do math … Classic defined benefit pensions are the single most costly benefit that employers traditionally provided, when you add up their total cost over the lifetime of workers. So, for more than 40 years, unionized companies have been absolutely cutthroat at the bargaining table in their determination to shift their workers into 401(k)s. Over the decades, in the private sector, pension after pension has fallen, each a lost battle in an economic war.
Even the man who invented the 401(k) now acknowledges that this process has been a financial catastrophe for workers.
.
I am not bringing this up just to bemoan the fact that companies are greedy. Yes, companies are greedy, but that is because they are in essence machines programmed to maximize profits, so cursing them for being greedy is like yelling at a beaver for making a dam. That is what they do.
What the fuck are we doing? This is all very dumb.
If America were a rational nation we would have sat down after WW2 and said, “Well, we rule the world and we are about to be so, so rich, we’d better just pass a sensible piece of legislation providing for health care and retirement and child care and other basic necessities for all, like a normal and reasonable country.” Of course we did not do that. Instead, deep in Cold War psychosis, we evolved our way into a system that provided health insurance for most people from the employers, which may be a crazy way to do it but is definitely NOT COMMUNIST. Then later we kind of grafted on Medicare to try to plug the hole for people left out of this system. The evolution of employer-provided benefits has continued for generations. But our original sin was allowing ourselves to be drawn into this plainly inferior system in the first place.
.
Not to get super technical here but, because private companies are constantly trying to maximize profits, they have an ENORMOUS and NEVER-ENDING incentive to chip away at the cost of employee benefits. So it is unsurprising that, over time, such benefits will be jettisoned by employers at the first possible opportunity. I know I am speaking in generalities here, but this pretty much captures the trap we have gotten into: 1) Tie necessary life-sustaining benefits to employment, rather than building a universal public government-funded safety net. 2) Erode the unions which are the only force that prevent companies from engaging in a race to the bottom on the quality of these benefits. 3) The benefits go away and people die. In a mature and serious country, “workplace benefits” would be things like, you know, “a variety of free bagels.” Not stuff like “your health insurance” or “your ability to avoid poverty in your old age.” Remarkably stupid system. Really idiotic.
.
The “gig economy” is, in aggregate, an attempt by capital to build a system of employment with no employees. Companies have realized that if you can turn every full-time employee into an independent contractor and every job into a gig, then you can escape the responsibility of paying benefits (and enjoy a work force that is legally unable to unionize). The gig economy is the arbitraging away of the employer-based social safety net. The savings go to the investment class. The model, as you can see, expands to the entire economy, sucking in not just Uber drivers but also adjunct professors. The root cause of this is that we have created an enormous financial incentive for companies to get out of playing the role of Real Employer, which comes with a host of demands for employee benefits. The people who designed this system should have seen this all coming. If they did, they didn’t care.
.
You can write books on this topic, of course, and many people have. (One I read recently is “Over Work” by Brigid Schulte, an interesting exploration of various often stymied attempts to make workplace benefits more humane.)
.
Today, all I want to do is point out the fact that there is an escape route from all of this. This is an issue that presents the opportunity to create a natural alliance of convenience between business and workers. Not because business “cares” about human quality of life, but because business cares about itself.
.
If you open an ice cream shop, you want to sell ice cream. Do you want to be a health insurance provider? No. Do you want to be a life insurance provider? No. Do you want to be a retirement investment account provider? No. You want to be an ice cream provider. The absurd burden of making businesses into benefit providers weighs most heavily on small businesses, which are forced to pay to outsource this stuff to large firms. The system is predatory and confusing for employers and employees alike. Unfortunately, the logic of capitalism is simply for employers to try to escape their obligations to provide benefits, which leaves employees with nothing.
.
What needs to change is simply the calculation that employers make about what the path of least resistance is for their own operations. The rise of the gig economy is what happens when employers believe that their best option is just to pretend like none of this is their problem. Yet it is—in the long run, employers need a stable society that creates healthy working people who can survive and are not so desperate that they steal from their employer and also chop up the CEO and throw him in a river.
.
Employer-based health insurance, a system hated by everyone that benefits nobody except health insurance companies, is probably the single most obvious issue upon which the AFL-CIO and the Chamber of Commerce should be on the same side. Business should be demanding Medicare For All as loudly as Bernie Sanders is! They don’t want to deal with this shit either! All of this is, by definition, a distraction from an employer’s core business, and a financial burden. The same goes for providing retirement benefits to workers. Adequate public health care and adequate Social Security that obviates the need for private health insurance and private retirement plans would be great for American business. It would leave them to just do the thing that they are in business to do.
.
I don’t want to sound like a naive moron here. In order for the business world writ large to come to this conclusion, the first thing we must do is to close off the easier possibility they now prefer, which is to escape their responsibilities altogether through subcontracting and pushing full time jobs off their books, or whittling down benefit costs to the smallest possible number by eradicating union power. That means that we need to regulate the gig economy out of existence, at least in the sense of requiring gig economy companies to treat their workers like employees rather than independent contractors.
.
Building a public safety net would mean more taxes for businesses.
But a government system would be more efficient, meaning the long term cost would be lower, and
employers would also get the invaluable gift of never having to think about this shit again.
Providing a necessary social safety net to all citizens is properly the role of the state, not of private business. The very idea of outsourcing this role to private employers is plainly ludicrous.

“"PEN" INMATES TO STAND TRIAL IN SIX GROUPS,” St. John Evening Times Globe. April 5, 1933. Page 5. ---- Dorchester Penitentiary Riots in January Bring 17 Men Before Court ---- DORCHESTER, April 4 - (Special) There are six criminal cases, involving 17 Dorchester penitentiary prisoners, and three non-jury civil cases on the docket of the Westmorland County Court, which opened here this afternoon, Judge A. W. Bennett, Sackville, presiding.
True bills were returned by the grand jury after deliberation of one hour and 15 minutes in the criminal cases, in which the accused are inmates who have been sent up for trial by Magistrate C. G. M. Chapman on charges of rioting and causing damage to the workshops and other parts of the prison on Jan. 7 last, when a number of guards and prisoners were injured. 
Of the 18 prisoners sent up for trial on these charges, one, Percy Alexander, has been tried already, and has been sentenced to two more years in prison.
To Be Tried in Groups The 17 accused will be tried in groups, as follows: Group 1, Alex. Carvery, Geo. Walker, C. Jackson and James Izzard (It is not expected that Izzard will appear in court with this group as he is ill at present at the penitentiary); group 2, Martelle Silver, James Weatherbee, Edward Roberts and John McDonald; group 3, Corbett Boyd, Philp Corsaler, Herbert Hollingsworth and Stanley Sullivan; group 4, Rufus Gaudet, Robert Guthro and James Murphy; group & Raoul Beauchamp; group 6, Frederick Bevis.
The trials of members of Group 1 will be begun when court resumes tomorrow morning. The Crown will be represented In all cases by H. Murray Lambert, Moneton, and E. C. Weyman, Saint John, the latter of whom was counsel at the preliminary hearings of the 18 prisoners for Warden George T. Goad, who laid the informations.
Allowed Freedom During the absence of the grand jury from the court room, the case of Thomas and Joseph Boudreau, Moncton, brothers, was disposed of. E. R. McDonald, K.C., Shediac appeared in the interest of the brothers. Mr. Lambert, who represented the Crown in the three previous trials of the Boudreau brothers, said that he had received word from the attorney-general's department to the effect that the Boudreau brothers were to be given their freedom on their own recognizances, to appear at any time. the court ruled. This was granted by the court on payment of $500 each. The Boudreau brothers were charged with attempting to extort $5,000 from Mrs. Whitehouse, wife of Rev. G. K Whitehouse, former pastor of the Highfield Baptist Church, Moncton. At each trial the jury disagreed. They were represented at their trials. by E. R. McDonald and Roscoe H. Allen, Moncton.

But there is one sure source of encouragement towards the solution of place-names, in that every such name has a real meaning, however darkly it may have been obscured by linguistic change or phonetic expression in the lips of people speaking another language. No man ever attempted successfully to invent an arbitrary combination of sound-signs to designate a locality: every place-name, in whatever language, is a business-like definition derived from some peculiarity or leading feature, as we might say the Green Hill, the White House, the Oak-wood; or from some incident, as the Battle-Field, the Murder-Stone, the Forge-Hill; or of possession, as John's town, William's field, the Priest's land.
Once localities are thus distinguished, it is very difficult to dispossess them of the names they have acquired, even though Greenhill should lose all its verdure, though the Whitehouse (or Whithorn - Anglo-Saxon hwit ærn) should be pulled down and a red one built in its place, and the oak-wood be levelled with the ground.
Scottish Land-Names: Their Origin and Meaning by Sir Herbert Maxwell (1893)

IT HAS BEEN about a year now since my involvement with the Dozier School For Boys began taking over my world. Kicking off the whirlwind was my need to get my hands on the school’s student ledgers. I won’t rehash the entire adventure but what I will say is that it took many frustrating nights online, several emails to the Archivist, the potential of an $600+ bill to get digital copies & finally an 8 hour round trip before I’d actually have what I wanted…Well at least a quarter of what I wanted!
  HAVING ABSOLUTELY NO clue what I was looking for, I spent the next several weeks trying to organize what I had. Almost immediately number of very distinct patterns began jumping out at me. The same sentencing judges over & over again, the SAME sentence length OR lack there of & a crap load of blank spaces; Specifically under the “WHEN/HOW RELEASED” columns. One would expect that any institution handling children would be required to keep detailed & accurate records of ALL of its charges, especially when it comes to their last known whereabouts BUT that would make too much sense, now wouldn’t it…
        THE INFO THAT I had gotten was only from the latest volume of the ledgers & didn’t even make a dent in the number of boys that had been shoved through the doors to be reformed. I knew there were hundreds OR even thousands of names in those books. I maybe had a few hundred at the most. By now, I had gotten used to what I like to call the “Hurry Up & Stop” method of researching. Basically I’d need specific info, finally get said info ONLY to start looking it over & promptly figure out that I needed additional material OR even worse, I’d need something entirely different altogether. In this case, I had just assumed that I’d eventually be making another trip to the Archives; That is until I ended up becoming involved with Bob Straley & taking over his website…And right there on one of the site pages was a link to the detailed, handwritten notes that WHB Mr. Andrew Puel had spent hours putting together.
Mr. Andrew Puel At The State Archives…Sitting In The EXACT Same Spot That I Did When I Was There!
      NOT IT!!
WHEN I SAW that link, I was beyond thrilled! I was finally going to have something reliable to validate what I had come up with! I had spoken with Andrew at Bob Straley’s memorial service & knew that any research he had done would be the best & most accurate info that I could possibly get. When the page loaded, it definitely did NOT show what I had been hoping for; In all actuality, it showed nothing but this:
    ODDLY THE INFO was missing! I started clicking on some of the other older links on the website & sure enough, there were quite a few that led to nowhere. I don’t know why it gone OR where it went, only that it’s not there. I tried not to get to aggravated, thinking that there had to be a hard copy among the thousands of documents that I have. I spent the next several weeks going through EVERY page, folder, digital file, etc. & found nothing. Bob kept everything, so to say I was puzzled that he wouldn’t have a copy of something so important was a huge understatement. I did another look through, literally taking out every piece of paper, one by one; Still nothing.
  Well Damn….
    AN EVENING IN GAINESVILLE
ON A FRIDAY in late February, I made the 3 hour trip to Gaineville. With me was a small black bag filled with what I believed to be the most important material related to the Arthur G Dozier School for Boys. I pulled up to a beautiful home, tucked back in a quiet sub division that was surrounded by forest. Standing outside was a familiar face, Mr. Bryant Middleton. The “Whitehouse Boy” greeted me with a smile & a brief hug before inviting me inside to meet his wife. Both graciously spent several hours telling their personal story of Dozier & how the WHB’s Organization was founded. They were both lovely people & I was grateful that they had been so willing to meet with me & be as open as they were. When we finally moved into the dining room to look over the things that I had brought, I began pulling things out. I yanked a folder out that had been wedged inside of my over full bag & a stack of papers fell out. The stack was stapled together & folded in half. I picked it up to see what it was & as I unfolded it, my jaw hit the floor!
    OH…MY…GOD…It was a hard copy of the list of missing boys! The same list that I had just spent weeks trying to find! The stuff inside of that bag was the stuff that I pulled out & reviewed quite frequently & there’s absolutely NO way that I would missed that thick stack of ledger pages! I slid the stack across the table, explaining to Bryant why I was a bit stunned at finding them. He thought it was strange as well. I’m not going to get into the specifics of my time with the Middletons in this post, although I will say that I’m very fortunate to have met with them. They’re great people & they continue to work toward keeping the future from repeating the past.
    WHERE COULD THEY BE?
OF COURSE THERE is minimal info on the boys on this list. What is known is that most were listed as escaped but never recovered. A lot lacked permanent homes OR guardians, so there wouldn’t have been any concerned parents wondering about the whereabouts of their lost boy. It should also be noted that the last place they were seen was the Dozier School for Boys in Marianna. That leaves so many unanswered questions; Could ALL 185 boys on that list have actually successfully escaped & moved on to a better life? Even if that did happen, would it be possible that NOT 1 single child ever be heard from again? I suppose it could be possible for some BUT for All 185? I seriously have my doubts & given the history of Dozier, I’d say that’s highly unlikely. Especially considering the significant proof of other burial sites on the school’s 1200+ acres.Whether or not they continued life after Dozier OR their lives were taken at the school, they each deserve to be recognized. I’ll let them speak for themselves….

Trump’s judicial picks: ‘The goal is to end the progressive state’
Donald Trump is radically reshaping the same federal courts that have been the biggest bulwark against his agenda by picking mostly white, conservative men
Donald Trump has sustained more than his fair share of political losses during the first 10 months of his presidency, mostly at the hands of the federal courts.
It was the federal courts that struck down his Muslim travel ban on three separate occasions, that blocked his ban on trans people in the military and that did the same to his attempt to defund so-called sanctuary cities.
But the makeup of Americas judges is quietly becoming the site of one of Trumps most unequivocal successes: nominating and installing judges who reflect his own worldview at a speed and volume unseen in recent memory. Trump could conceivably have handpicked more than 30% of the nations federal judges before the end of his first term, his advisers have suggested, and independent observers agree.
The president himself has said that he expects this to be one of his major legacies. He is going to reshape the bench for generations to come, said Douglas Keith, counsel with the fair courts arm of the Brennan Center for Justice.
I do think this deserves more attention given the consequence, the significance of what will eventually be a wholesale change among the federal judiciary, he continued.
Much has been made of Trumps failure to get legislation through Congress and received wisdom suggests that he has little to show for his first 10 months in power. However, the lasting impact that court picks have on the lives of Americans means that Trumps choices and the sheer numbers involved will help reshape America for the next half-century.
Until recently little attention has been paid to Trumps judicial appointments. But Senator Chris Coons, a Democrat from Delaware and a member of the Senate judiciary committee, identified the importance of these appointments early on. In June he said: This will be the single most important legacy of the Trump administration. They will quickly be able to put judges on circuit courts all over the country, district courts all over the country, that will, given their youth and conservatism, have a significant impact on the shape and trajectory of American law for decades.
The lack of diversity in Trumps picks was highlighted by the Associated Press. They ran the numbers on the 58 people nominated by the Trump administration to lifetime positions on appeal courts, district courts, and the supreme court. Of those, 53 are white, three are Asian American, one is Hispanic and one is African American.
Forty seven are men and 11 are women.
by race
by gender
Since a disproportionate percentage of non-white Americans find themselves at the sharp end of the judicial system this means that in many cases it will be white male judges passing judgment on Americans of color. They will also have extensive input on all manner of civil rights, environmental, criminal justice and other disputes across the country.
All presidents appoint federal judges who are philosophically aligned with their own party and ideology. Casual observers will be familiar with how this dynamic plays out in relation to supreme court nominees, the rarefied picks that most presidents only make a handful of times. But supreme court justices represent just a small percentage of the broader federal judiciary, with roughly 850 seats in regional federal courts nationwide. In many cases, it is these jurists that have the final say on the law of the land in the US, since the supreme court only hears a relatively small number of cases every year.
And for these posts, Trumps candidates have been whiter, more male and, according to the American Bar Association, less qualified than any incoming cohort in decades.
I think the goal is to end the progressive state as we know it, said Baher Azmy, Legal Director of the Center for Constitutional Rights, a progressive-leaning legal advocacy group.

Perhaps the most brazen of Trumps early picks is Brett Talley, an Alabama attorney just three years out of law school who has yet to try a case. The American Bar Association gave Talley a unanimous rating of unqualified for the post but that did not stop him from breezing through a confirmation hearing in the Senate judiciary committee. Neither did the fact that Talley appears to have blogged favorably about the KKK and statutory rape on message boards and failed to disclose in his questionnaire that his wife is a staffer in the White House.
Trump is appointing hacks and cronies which I think is either intentionally or just has the effect of signaling contempt for legal process, Azmy said.
Some of the other stand-out Trump picks include Jeff Mateer, a Texas attorney who has openly admitted that he discriminates against LGBT people, and Thomas Farr, who has spearheaded multiple legal efforts to suppress the black vote in his home state of North Carolina.
It is no exaggeration to say that had the White House deliberately sought to identify an attorney in North Carolina with a more hostile record on African-American voting rights and workers rights than Thomas Farr, it could hardly have done so, wrote the Congressional Black Caucus in a letter to Trump urging him to withdraw the nomination.

One thing Mateer, Talley and Farr all have in common, like a startling 74% of Trumps nominees, is that they are all white men. According to the Associated Press, if Trump continues on this trend through his first term, he will be the first Republican since Herbert Hoover to name fewer women and minorities to the court than his GOP predecessor.
This is a striking move in the direction away from diversity that is not just attributable to them wanting to appoint more conservative judges, who will tend to be whiter and more male than the general population, said Douglas Keith.
And the impact that can have for generations is hard to overstate. Federal courts shape laws, they shape the constitution, they affect peoples rights, and at core they impact how our democracy functions, Keith said. Conservatives have understood the importance of these courts, theyve been organizing around them for decades, and have been able to move their supporters in ways that the left hasnt.
That has involved, first and foremost, building a pipeline of potential conservative candidates, Keith said. Conservative groups like the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation have become de facto clearing houses for Republican presidents and they absolutely have Trumps ear.

According to the Hill, of the 13 judicial nominees confirmed since President Trump took office, 10 are either current or former Federalist Society members or regular speakers at its events.
The organization describes itself as a group of conservatives and libertarians interested in the current state of the legal order, and operates on the premise that law schools and the legal profession are currently strongly dominated by a form of orthodox liberal ideology. Clarence Thomas, Jeff Sessions and the late Antonin Scalia are among the societys more well-known alumni.
The non-partisan American Bar Association, which for decades had offered the White House its opinion on the qualifications of nominees was removed from the process by Trump in favor of Federalist Society influence. So far they have rated four of Trumps nominees unqualified, four more than they ever did under the previous administration.
Thus far the Republican-controlled Senate judiciary committee has been little more than a rubber stamp for Trumps nominees, having advanced all of his picks through hearings so far. This drew scorn from Democratic committee member Sheldon Whitehouse who earlier this month called the hearings a joke and complained that candidates had been studiously coached on how to withstand all of five minutes of questioning by senators.
Trump also inherited a massive cache of over 100 judicial openings when he came into office, more than twice that of his predecessor Obama in 2009. Thats because, even as Trump has routinely lambasted Democrats as the party of obstruction, it was Republicans for most of Barack Obamas term who slowed the confirmation of judicial nominees to a slow crawl. Since his inauguration the number of openings has grown to more than 160 thats about half the 323 regional federal judges Obama nominated and had confirmed during his full eight years in office, and Trump has only been in office for 10 months.
It is true that, even as Republicans have picked up the pace of confirmations, Trump cannot fill all those 160 openings overnight. But after sweeping Democratic election wins in races earlier this month, anxious conservatives are going to start pushing Trump to get as many nominees as possible through before the 2018 midterms.
Obviously, who gets nominated and the pace of confirmations changes dramatically if the Senate were to flip back to the Democrats, said John Malcolm, a former justice department lawyer and now an analyst at the Heritage Foundation in Washington. Republicans should be paying particular attention to pushing through as many nominees as they can.

Congress might take away the 401(k) for the wrong reason

Congress might take away the 401(k) for the wrong reason
President Trump spoke to reporters in front of the White House Oct. 25 and said the 401(k) tax break might be up for negotiation in the new tax reform legislation. (Reuters)
More than 62 million Americans — about a third of the nation’s adult population — have put money into 401(k) retirement plans. Now Republicans in Congress are seriously debating changing the program, dramatically reducing the amount of money Americans can contribute tax-free to their 401(k) account from $18,000 a year now to just $2,400 a year. Does this make any sense?
Short answer: Changes are needed, but not like this.
The 401(k) is hardly a perfect retirement savings vehicle. It was originally designed in the 1980s to be a supplement to pensions plans, not the main way Americans save for retirement. Over the years, companies realized they could save a lot of money by dropping pensions, which guarantee a certain payout in retirement, and shifting to 401(k) plans, which require workers to shoulder the burden of saving their own money and investing it wisely. Herbert Whitehouse, one of the first to push for a 401(k) at his company in 1981, now regrets it.
Whitehouse, a former human resources executive at Johnson & Johnson, is one of many pointing out that the biggest flaw in America’s current retirement system is that people aren’t saving enough money (if they are saving at all). Just over half — 52 percent — of Americans have any retirement savings, according to the Federal Reserve, and the median amount put away for retirement is $60,000, not enough to live off for years. About everyone agrees that Congress — and corporations — need to find ways to spur people to save more. But the current proposal being tossed around by the GOP would do the opposite, experts warn.
“I think it will discourage retirement saving,” says Matthew Rutledge, a research economist at the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College.
At the moment, Americans under 50 can put up to $18,000 a year away tax-free in a 401(k), and people over 50 can put up to $24,000. The money can be invested in stocks, bonds or other funds. Over time, the money grows, creating a nice nest egg. People only have to pay taxes when they take the money out in retirement. Reducing the threshold to $2,400 is likely to dissuade some people from saving at all or saving more than that low amount, Rutledge says.
The main reason this idea is under consideration right now is not because Republicans are focused on improving retirement savings. Instead, they need money to pay for large tax cuts. The 401(k) tax break “costs” the government $71 billion a year in lost tax revenue, according to the Tax Policy Center, a think tank. Reducing the tax break is one way for the government to get more money, potentially over $700 billion in the next decade.
Another option is to “Rothify” retirement savings in America, meaning Congress would change the rules so any money that people put away for retirement above $2,400 would be taxed up front. This is how Roth IRAs (IRA stands for “individual retirement account”) work. People can only put after-tax dollars into Roth IRAs, though they don’t pay taxes on money they withdraw later in life, as they do with regular IRAs and 401(k)s. It’s a way for the government to get revenue sooner.
“I’m strongly against it as a budget gimmick,” says Marc Goldwein, senior policy director at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, says of the 401(k) proposal. “It makes it look like we are raising revenue today when, in reality, we’re just shifting tax money from tomorrow to today.”
Republicans are aiming to offset all but $1.5 trillion of tax cuts over the next decade, so the 401(k) proposal is an attractive one.
Congressman Kevin Brady (R-Tex.), chairman of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, is one of the main proponents of changing the 401(k) rules, a major disagreement with President Trump, who tweeted Monday that 401(k)s are a “great and popular middle class tax break” that he does not want to change.
“We think in tax reform we can create incentives for people to save more and save sooner,” Brady said to reporters at an event this week. “We are continuing discussion with the president.”
Brady argues 401(k) accounts aren’t working, citing a Joint Committee on Taxation report that the median contribution is just $2,394 a year.
While 401(k)s are popular with 62.7 million active users in 2014, the last year the Employee Benefits Security Administration has released data for, they are used mainly by people earning over $75,000 a year. The Tax Policy Center concluded that 70 percent of the retirement tax benefits from defined contribution plans like 401(k)s go the highest 20 percent of earners.
“The Republicans are correct that the current tax treatment of 401(k)s and IRAs breaks disproportionately help the well off,” says Teresa Ghilarducci, an economist professor at the New School for Social Research and a longtime critic of 401(k)s. “The problem is the Republican proposal — which turns the current system into more of a Roth system — will favor wealthy people even more.”
If Republicans in Congress really want to get Americans to save more, there are three easy changes the government could make that are widely endorsed by many experts, including Richard Thaler, winner of this year’s Nobel Prize in economics. The reforms are:
First, require companies to automatically enroll people into 401(k) plans Second, require people to be enrolled at a high rate (around 8 or 10 percent) or that their contributions automatically rise each year. Third, offer lower income people some sort of subsidy.
People would have the ability to opt out or reduce their contributions at any time, but the biggest hurdle is that people don’t start or they start too late in life or with too little. Thaler says most Americans need a good “nudge” and the best way to do that is automatically enrolling them.
“If you really want to get people to save, the one thing that really seems to work is to make it automatic,” says Rutledge of the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College.
What Congress is reportedly considering is the exact opposite. It would require the 62 million Americans who already tried to do the right thing and save for retirement via a 401(k) to fill out a lot of paperwork to switch to other plans, a barrier to saving. And lower income workers would not get any more help.

Notes: In 1858 John Henry Trinder who had been a pupil teacher at the school was made a Queen’s Scholar, being entitled to 3 years’ education at one of Her Majesty’s Training Colleges free of charge. At the annual school treat in July 1861 400 children were present in the morning when they were examinaed in Scripture by Rev H Rogers, the incumbent and in grammar, gepgraphy and arithmetic by their respective teachers. In the evening there was a substantial tea in the school room which had been decorated with flowers and mottos. In the centre was suspended a white silk banner with a bridal rosette in the middle, as a token of regard of the incumbent’s daughter, Mary Anne Rogers, who had married Thomas Byard Winter Sheppard the previous week. The banner bore the words ‘God bless our pastor’s daughter – Happiness attend her’ in blue lettering.
George Vernon was Master for 18 years and in July 1868 he left to take up the Mastership of the Earl Ducies schools at Tortworth. Several of his past students started a collection and in the end there were 169 subscribers who gave a total of £25. He was presented with an English gold lever watch with guards and appendages and there was enough left over for a pair of vases for Mrs Vernon. At the presentation on July 20th he was also awarded an illuminated text. Edward William Clevely was the second son of George and Emma Clevely. He died aged 22 in October 1884. In July 1886 Ada Reilly Sims passed the examination for admittance to Red Maids.

Adam and Eve, Wine Street (also listed as Wine Street Passage) For sale on 19th January 1860 as in the possession of George Knowland under lease for 14 years from 14th September 1857, rent £105. Freehold and free. Listed in Inn and Commercial Tavern section.
Information on landlords: F Probart 1824 Edwin Ward 1836-40 George Knowland 1852 G Knowland 1867 George Frederick Knowland 1878 Elizabeth Knowland 1882. Notes: Richard Trotman described as ‘late landlord’ died aged 46 at Coronation Road on March 20th 1840.
Notes: Mr Knowland had a disagreement with T Jones of Jones & Co when the firm’s new store was being erected in Wine Street owing to a part of a cellar used by Mr Knowland being purchased by Mr Jones during the construction. This boiled over on 1st May 1855. Mr Jones had been celebrating a win in Chancery with a group of friends at the house of Mr McMillan, consuming half a dozen bottles of champagne between them which they decided would benefit froma a brandy and water chaser. So they went to the Adam and Eve, whereupon Mr Knowland burst out, grabbed Mr Jones by the collar, pushed him against a wall and swore that he would not enter. After asking him by letter to apologise and send an amount to the Bristol Infirmary, to which there was no reply, Mr Jones brought a case against Mr Knowland that was heard at the Tolzey Court in July. After hearing the evidence the Recorder stated that it would be better settled out of court, which was done.
In 1856 John Baker was charged at Bristol Police Court with stealing three coats from the tavern, the property of Mr Knowland, the landlord. Baker, a recruit, to whom Mr Knowland was said to have shown great kindness, was said to have confessed his guilt and to be very contrite and on the landlord.s intercession the charge was dropped and Baker handed over to his sergeant.
In January 1870 it was reported that for many years Mr Knowland had placed on the smoking tables each Saturday a box in aid of the Royal Infirmary and General Hospital, He had regularly, until recently before his health failed, shaken the box before each customer in the 2 rooms with a friendly request for a penny. The collection for 1861 amounted to 25 guineas, in 1869 was £25 4s.
Mr Knowland was also a visitor at St Peter’s Hospital and Robert James ‘a big powerful man’ who had been an inmate and knew him from this work was taken to court on 1868 for threatening him when he would not offer employment. In 1883 Mrs Knowland reported the collection boxes holding £2 12s 8d.
In March 1884 Albert O’ Brien and Albert Richards were charged with having stolen a pint measure from the pub. It was noticed by a policeman that the measure was marked with ‘Knowland, Adam and Eve’ on the side. O’Brien said that he had ordered the beer just before closing time and could not finish it all so he had taken the cup away and was going to return it the next week. They were fined 11s without costs.

The upper floor housed workrooms, where at the end of the 19th century sewing machines were ‘driven by an engine, also acting as the motor for the dynamo forming the generator for the electric light installation.’ The height of technology in the high street.
While bespoke tailoring was carried on using these sewing machines, the ready to wear items were made at Stroud. This enabled them to charge the customer only one shilling per ready-made item over the cost price. The handsome premises were destroyed during the Second World War, although the company carried on.

As well as the main warehouse and showroom in Narrow Wine Street, the company had an iron and brass foundry at Rosemary Street and a steam joinery at Fairfax Street. Scales and weighing machines (including the Patent National Balances invented by Mr Parnall and 20,000 sold between 1883 and 1893) were manufactured at Fishponds. The Patent Agate Hand Scales were described as ‘specially worthy of the attention of tea dealers……when suspended above the counter they will work three times as long as any other scale without getting out of order’.
The wide range of items manufactured and supplied also included weighbridges (suitable for railway companies, collieries and public corporations), scoops, sack lifters, barrows and trucks, canisters (in large variety), counter boxes and window show trays, show glasses, butchers’ and other warranted cutlery, marble top tables (for restaurants etc), show stands, treacle cisterns, safes and cash boxes, patent tills, provision tickets, window name plates, tobacco cutters and tobacconists’ fixtures, chairs, bottling machines hand carts, coffee mills, tea mixers, hoists, lifts and gas engines.

Iron Church In the fashionable suburb of Clifton, amid the large villas, a mission church was built of iron in 1865. Plans were drawn up for a permanent church by the celebrated architect James Piers St Aubyn, his only church in Bristol, and building was slow, 1870-81. His planned steeple, similar in appearance to that built at Christ Church, never rose above the basement stage and serves as a rather enormous NW porch.
Concerns about the stability of the building brought in John Bevan and he rebuilt part of the nave and chancel, completed 1909. It survived in use until 1976 when the parish was joined to St Saviour. The joint parish purchased the redundant Highbury Chapel c1975 which in turn was restored and rededicated to St Saviour & St Mary, Cotham to replace both buildings. The BBC purchased the Tyndall’s Park church for use as a scenery store. The interior was subdivided and a new entrance created in the north aisle. The church was acquired in the mid-1990s by a free-church congregation, and now in use as the Woodlands Christian Centre. Work began in July 2000 to convert the upper floor into supported housing and the ground floor is to be retained for worship.

Trump details how he's profiting off the presidency
The president's financial disclosure forms show where his profits have been boosted since he ran foroffice.
Tumblr media

New financial disclosure forms provide insight into where and how Donald Trump has reaped profits since he launched his bid for the presidency.
The 98-page filing with the Office of Government Ethics, released on Friday afternoon, provides an incomplete snapshot of Trump's financial picture. But since Trump has broken presidential precedent by refusing to release his taxes, it's the closest look into his investments the public has gotten sofar.
The documents provide financial information for the period of time between last January and this spring-encompassing the lead-up to the presidential election and Trump's transition into the WhiteHouse.
Trump's sprawling business empire is difficult to definitively quantify. However, the filings do show that the properties Trump has visited frequently as president have seen significant gains in income, the D.C. hotel at the center of an ethical controversy has generated millions in revenue, and the royalties for Trump's books havesoared.
Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, where he spent most of his weekends immediately after his inauguration, returned millions more in income after his campaign and subsequent election. Trump reported about $16 million in profits for Mar-a-Lago in his report filed in 2015, about $30 million in his report filed in 2016, and about $37 million in his most recentreport.
Trump's effort to profit off the presidency gets underway in earnest
Trump didn't hide the fact that his presidency made Mar-a-Lago a more profitable venture for him. The initiation fee for the so-called Winter White House doubled to $200,000-a figure that doesn't include taxes and $14,000 annual dues-immediately after Trump was inaugurated.
As the Atlantic details, the other Trump properties that did not receive frequent visits from the president did not see a sharp jump in revenue. Trump-branded golf courses throughout the United States generated roughly the same amount of income for Trump this year as they did in2016.
According to the filings, the Trump International Hotel-the downtown D.C. property Trump leases from the federal government that's located just blocks from the White House-has also generated nearly $20 million in profits for the president thisyear.
Previous reporting has revealed some of those profits come from foreign government officials who opt to stay there when they're in the nation's capital. Earlier this month, the attorneys general of Maryland and D.C. filed suit against the president, arguing it violates the U.S. Constitution for Trump to profit off foreign governments through thishotel.
As Trump gained power over the U.S. government, he generated interest in his products. The reported royalties for Trump's book The Art of the Deal jumped from $100,000 last year to $1 million thisyear.
President Trump welcomed the opportunity to voluntarily file his personal financial disclosure form, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said in a statement released Friday, emphasizing that the filing was voluntary.
Trump may have opted to file these forms with the Office of Government Ethics, but the president also ignored advice from the independent office to fully divest from his businesses and sell his assets. According to reporting from the Center for Public Integrity, OGE has had a very rocky relationship with Trump officials in the first months of his presidency.

Herbert Whitehouse was one of the first in the U.S. to suggest workers use a 401(k). His hope in 1981 was that the retirement-savings plan would supplement a company pension that guaranteed payouts for life. Thirty-five years later, the former Johnson & Johnson human-resources executive has misgivings about what he helped start. What Mr. Whitehouse and other proponents didn’t anticipate was that the tax-deferred savings tool would largely replace pensions as big employers looked for ways to cut expenses. Just 13% of all private-sector workers have a traditional pension, compared with 38% in 1979. “We weren’t social visionaries,” Mr. Whitehouse says. “The great lie is that the 401(k) was capable of replacing the old system of pensions,” says former American Society of Pension Actuaries head Gerald Facciani, who helped turn back a 1986 Reagan administration push to kill the 401(k). “It was oversold.” Fifty-two percent of U.S. households are at risk of running low on money during retirement, based on projections of assets, home prices, debt levels and Social Security income, according to Boston College’s Center for Retirement Research. That is up from 31% of households in 1983. Roughly 45% of all households currently have zero saved for retirement, according to the National Institute on Retirement Security.
