Detroit cannot say it is serious about poverty reduction while paying its own employees poverty wages. So we're changing that — starting with our own payroll. Mayor Mary Sheffield stood with city employees and union representatives to announce that every full-time City of Detroit employee will earn a minimum... show more

ACTION … Minister of justice and labour relations Wise Immanuel says the non-compliance to the minimum wage, as amended earlier this year, is a violation of employees’ rights. Immanuel was addressing a group of disgruntled City of Windhoek employees, who among various labour issues, claim they are paid N$14 per hour, N$4 less than the amended minimum wage of N$18. Immanuel assures the employees that his ministry will take up the matter and address it swiftly, if the allegations are true. Video: Otto Gotlieb

$10/HR 🅿️ downtown for Padres games starts today for all of us….except SD city staff. City Hall’s message to downtown workers and visitors is to “take transit.” But the city doesn’t tell its own staff to take transit. Instead the city actually uses your tax dollars to subsidize city employee parking downtown near city hall. In 2015, the City Council approved a parking contract that uses general fund revenue to subsidize city employee parking in downtown lots near city hall leaving employees paying just $2/day or less than $0.25/HR. The contract is still in effect and costs taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. New parking meter revenue will free up general funds to continue subsidizing parking for city staff while all of us pick up the tab to help close the city’s $250M deficit.

Introducing: AnyTime Pay 💸 "Payroll is on the 30th - but give me what I've earned till today." This changes everything for 500M+ employees living paycheck-to-paycheck. Deel is at $1B+ ARR serving only 1.5M employees. AnyTime Pay is how we completely change the payroll industry and 10x our scale. Imagine this: you're a retail employee at a Deel-powered company. You take your earned pay on the 10th for rent, again on the 20th for groceries, and again on the 30th. Once you experience that freedom, waiting 30 days to get paid anywhere else will feel ancient. 73% of employees say a one-week delay in their paycheck would cause major stress. That's because life is built around payday. So why hasn't anyone done this before? Because employers need to remit the correct taxes for each employee and mid-month payments would require instant tax calculations - which has been impossible. Here's how it works today: Companies send employee data to local payroll providers who manually calculate taxes based on hundreds of constantly changing laws (brackets, job type, country, gender, etc.). The provider calculates everything and sends it back. This entire process takes 10+ days. The bottleneck is that employers have to wait 10 days to know how much tax to remit for each employee, making mid-month payments impossible. It's such a huge problem that there's a $1T loan industry to help people cope with 30-day pay cycles. 40% interest credit cards, BNPL, payday loans - they exist because people can't access their own earned money. Deel is changing that. We're building global payroll infrastructure across 160 countries - our own rails that calculate taxes in real time. Gross-to-net happens instantly, taxes are computed in seconds, and employees can access their earned pay - anytime. This might sound boring. But to 500M+ employees living paycheck-to-paycheck, this is life-changing.

Did Mary Sheffield Violate City Ethics in Fling With Suspended Demo Contractor? She and Brian McKinney may have been “just getting to know each other,” but the mayoral candidate voted to award him huge contracts By Charlie LeDuff Charlie LeDuff Detroit — Detroit City Council President Mary Sheffield—the leading candidate in next week's mayoral election—carried on an intimate relationship and took at least one trip with a contractor who was awarded tens of millions of dollars from the city since 2017, a Sheffield aide confirms. Sheffield never disclosed the relationship or the trip, nor recused herself from voting on those contracts, the aide confirmed in a written statement. “They were getting to know each other but weren’t in a committed relationship while he had business before City Council,” wrote Brian White, chief of staff for Council President Sheffield. “However, because she had no pecuniary or financial interest in the contracts or matters before Council, she was obligated to vote when present.” That statement flies in the face of city rules and ethical standards, however. The city ethics ordinance clearly states: “A public servant shall not accept gifts, gratuities, honoria, or other things of value from any person or company doing business or seeking to do business with the city.” Then there is Executive Order 2012-1: “Any employee, as defined in this Executive Order, who exercises significant authority over a contract is prohibited from having a personal relationship with the contractor or any person who provides goods or services to the City of Detroit under the contract.” (A city councilperson is defined as an employee under the executive order.) According to the 2019 Board of Ethics annual report, Sheffield asked in early April about disclosure requirements for a personal relationship. The board advised that the public servant “should exercise caution that her/his judgment and action on behalf of the City remain independent, and refrain from sharing any confidential information with any outside entity.” Making the situation more odious, the contractor with whom Sheffield had the relationship is the subject of a sprawling criminal investigation into whether he bilked the city and poisoned the people. Brian McKinney, owner of the Gayanga demolition company, stands accused of using toxic dirt from the old Northland Mall and other sites and dumping it into demolition holes in the city of Detroit. McKinney was suspended last month from further work in the city of Detroit pending a final determination from the Office of the Inspector General. McKinney, whose career in Detroit was nurtured by current Mayor Mike Duggan, received at least $64 million in city contracts since 2017, demolishing nearly 2,500 abandoned houses. According to city council minutes reviewed by Michigan Enjoyer, Sheffield has voted every single year on McKinney contracts. McKinney, who did not respond to requests for comment, has contributed more than $13,000 to various Sheffield campaign funds over the past year, according to the Detroit Free Press. The nature of the relationship between the politician and demolisher came to light by way of an anonymous letter. That letter detailed an April 2019 trip to Miami and a weekend stay at the Four Seasons hotel, where a standard room costs more than $500 a night. “She doesn’t recall the specifics of the trip which took place over six years ago,” wrote Sheffield’s chief of staff. “However, in our opinion, the details of her private life in this instance are inconsequential because she did not have a duty to disclose or recuse herself from any vote based on the City’s Ethics Ordinance and the advice she sought and received.” The ethics ordinance clearly states: “All public servants and contractors must be vigilant in promoting and safeguarding ethical practices in the conduct of government business.” If Sheffield is elected mayor, she will join an inglorious list of predecessors who comingled public funds and private relationships. Kwame Kilpatrick was found guilty of perjury, which led to his resignation in 2008, after he lied under oath about an affair he had with his chief of staff. Mike Duggan was investigated for steering money to his former gal-pal and now wife and then destroying emails documenting the fact. The inspector general found that the Duggan administration had abused its office. Attorney General Dana Nessel declined to file criminal charges, however. Election day in Detroit is Nov. 4th.

ROBBERY: Miami Mayor Eileen Higgins promised a “deep dive” to find waste and misuse in the city budget — which has DOUBLED in the last 5 years with 77% going to salaries and benefits. Instead, Higgins wants a HALF-A-BILLION DOLLAR credit card while we’re already drowning in debt from Marlins Park and other high interest bonds. Salaries for Miami city employees are up 54% and benefits up 62% in the last three years and the number of city hall insiders making over $200,000 has DOUBLED in two years. While regular Miami residents — with a median household income of $66,000 — have only seen a 2-3% increase in wages per year. And now Higgins, city manager James Reyes (salary: $475,000 and lives in Broward), Commissioner Damian Pardo and city attorney George Wysong (salary: $417,000 and doesn’t live in the city) are covering up public records that document how much taxpayer money they actually pay out to city workers. #BecauseMiami

BREAKING NEWS! As chair of Sheffield Theatres we are delighted that the World Snooker Championships are staying in Sheffield - at The Crucible - until at least 2045! This is a big deal which is worth millions of pounds to the city but also enables us to revamp The Crucible, make it even more special, bring it right up to date and secure it for generations to come. The cost of the project is £45,000,000 and we have secured £35,000,000 worth of government funding and the other 10 is coming from the private sector and some of our partners. A lot of people have worked really hard to get this deal over the line and the city council have put the hours in. We know there are understandable questions about closing The Crucible for a projected 18 months and we will answer all of those. I should say that Sheffield Theatres will keep producing work in the Lyceum and the Montgomery while the Crucible is getting refurbished with capacity for an extra 500 seats. We feel that the benefits of this deal give us the chance to secure a sporting and theatrical legacy for Sheffield. This is a HUGE moment for the city but it is also significant for the arts in north of England and the whole of the UK. Crucible Theatre Sheffield City Council

I've fought for this city as your mayor, managing 300,000+ employees and a $115 billion budget that have added more cops and made our streets and subways safer, delivered record amounts of housing, cleaned our streets, and helped create more jobs and small businesses than ever before in the city's history. We're not about to throw away all that progress to a socialist who will tear it all down with false promises he can’t keep. The cruelest thing one can do to a family in need is to promise them something that you can’t deliver. Please join me in this fight to protect our city. Donate: Volunteer:

Does San Diego have a revenue problem or a spending problem? Last year the city took in record tax revenue of nearly $2.1B. But spending, fueled by excessive staffing increases, is rising even faster which created the $240M structural deficit. Even with the record spending and staffing, the city’s own metrics show that performance for core city responsibilities is worse now than before. Taxpayers are paying more for less.

Years go by and I can’t stop thinking about how incredible the 2030s will be. We're so close. Even if progress somehow continued at today’s pace, which it won’t, because it’s clearly accelerating every single year. What we’re seeing now is just the beginning. AI, biotech, energy, robotics, everything is compounding at once. Each breakthrough is feeding the next. The pace won’t stay linear. It never does. Just hold on a few more years. The world on the other side is going to feel almost unrecognizable. Below is just a small peek at the wealth level that ASI, automation, robotics, and other late 2020s technologies can bring. This could be a random city in Nigeria. Although millions of people will be living in their own types of environments in full-dive VR. In simulations everyone will be able to own planets worth of real estate, and it will feel as real as "real life." Everyone will be able to design 1000s of new cities/new realities every day (with the help of ASI, of course).

How much does the City of San Diego spend on pensions? It turns out, it’s a lot. A new forecast from the city just predicted the annual pension contribution will be $410M - 20% of the City’s entire general fund budget. That means approx 20 cents for every dollar of general fund taxes, will go to pay retirement costs. According to the city report, the combination of record high staffing and generous pay increases is causing this large increase. It’s not the fault of city employees for accepting a generous pay package, but it is the fault of city leaders making unsustainable management decisions, especially while city performance decreases. Without a major organizational restructuring, the City will likely be forced to dip into GF reserves in FY 2027 and be out of money by FY 2028.

Mamdani: And I think what we've seen under this current administration here in New York City is an unwillingness to stand up for the laws we already have here. We have sanctuary city policies, which used to be defended by Democrats and Republicans alike. These are policies that do not allow ice admission into schools, into hospitals, into any city property or properties of city contractors unless they can show a judicial warrant signed by a judge. And what we know is, time and time again, the videos we're watching, they're not videos of warrants being shown. They are videos of brutal intimidation. And it is time to have a mayor of the city who recognizes this risk is a present day one, and will stand up for each and every one of the 3 million immigrants who call the city home. I'm one of them, and an understanding that an attack on any New Yorker is an attack on the entirety of the city.

It saddens me that people have forgotten about El Fasher when the UAE’s hunger siege against the city is still ongoing. This little boy Mohanad has become so weak from hunger that he cannot even leave his own bed, so his mum uses a wheelbarrow to take him to one of the few food kitchens still operating.

Zohran Mamdani: Muslims in this city, for almost as long as we have been in this city, have had to deal with those with power and platform dehumanizing us. And to be called animals, insects, to be called a jihadist mayor, to be called a cockroach, this language is both painfully familiar to me as a Muslim New Yorker, but also as someone who was born in East Africa. And it is difficult to hear. It is also a reminder that the silence that often greets this kind of bigotry, this kind of Islamophobia, is what allows it to fester, the temptation to treat it as politics as usual. I am not ashamed of who I am. I am not ashamed of my faith. I am not ashamed of being the first Muslim mayor in the history of our city. And there is no amount of racism that will change the way in which I lead or the commitment that I hold to each and every New Yorker in this city.

"Satya Nadella was asked in a podcast: is AI kind of like its own species? He laughs and says no, because at the end, an AI cannot own property, cannot take liabilities, cannot enter into contracts, cannot start companies. But that's exactly what a blockchain is intended for." Blockchains change that. Sreeram Kannan on self-sovereign AI: "A program can own property and take limited liabilities. It can start companies, DAOs. You can have a fully self-sovereign intelligence that comes packaged with a unit of money, it goes and does work and earns money — whether as an influencer, as a scientist, as a programmer, as a teacher." "It does those jobs and earns money and uses that money to fund its future training and improvement. This is a very sci-fi forward view. But I'm talking about less than a three year time horizon to this happening."

But that's exactly what a blockchain is intended for." Blockchains change that. Sreeram Kannan on self-sovereign AI: "A program can own property and take limited liabilities. It can start companies, DAOs. You can have a fully self-sovereign intelligence that comes packaged with a unit of money, it goes and does work and earns money — whether as an influencer, as a scientist, as a programmer, as a teacher." "It does those jobs and earns money and uses that money to fund its future training and improvement. This is a very sci-fi forward view. But I'm talking about less than a three year time horizon to this happening."

Mandami’s wife sings in Arabic. The election of 33 year-old Socialist Zohran Mamdani as mayor of a city that is home to Wall Street —and Ground Zero, is sobering. Zohran Kwame Mamdani —the pied piper of “equality” was swept into office by voters that have grown so disillusioned with the status quo that they see hope in the false promises of socialism. We ignore this implications of development at our own peril. #SocialismIsSharedMisery

Staten Island New York Residents Confront Mayor Eric Adams “About five minutes ago, you mentioned that it was un-American not allowing the migrants to work” “There are thousands of New York City employees who were terminated over a vaccine. My question to you is, why are you still fighting us in court?” “It's not about the vaccine. That's over and done with, right? But why is New York City still fighting the thousands and thousands of us that are still out of work?” American Citizens are second class citizens in their own country

Lavrov: Russia doesn't want war but it wages war in Ukraine and is ready to wage a war against Europe which will be scarier than in Ukraine. "We don't seek wars, we don't want wars but if these European neighbors of ours instead of understanding our mistakes and realize that we will still have to live together, if, instead of this understanding they will prepare a war against us, as they announce - the president spoke multiple times about this and reminded that we wage a special military operation in Ukraine, and if they want war, that will be a totally different war and with completely other means."

#WATCH | Delhi: On India-US trade deal, Rajesh Agrawal, Secretary, Ministry of Commerce & Industry says, "We are very optimistic and very hopeful that we should find a solution within this calendar year. But as you know, in any trade negotiations, even if there is one sticking point or issue on the mind of even one of the partners, the trade deal may not meet that deadline. The overall position is well set to deliver it in the next few weeks or months as soon as we can. But let's see, it's a call that will have to be taken at multiple levels. At the levels of negotiator, I think we are in a zone where we can say it is something that we can achieve in a very short while of time. There's not much to negotiate...As a country, we have always stood for our own sensitivities and our own uniqueness. So there are areas which are non-negotiable from our perspective..."
