First 2 photos: “Thousands converge in Tyre as del Lago Resort & Casino opens for business” Photographer Josh Durso

Third photo: “Town of Tyre supervisor Ronald F. McGreevy rolls the ceremonial first dice at a craps table on opening day of the del Lago Resort and Casino in the town of Tyre in Seneca County, Feb. 1, 2017.“ Photographer Dennis Nett

Yay the Finger Lakes has another casino…. It’s on Rt 414, north of Seneca Falls, across the Thruway from the Petro Truck Stop and less than 2 miles north of the supermassive Seneca Meadows Landfill. Here’s some of the opening day ‘excitement’ from Advance Media / Post-Standard (read the comments too), as well as the Democrat & Chronicle / Gannett (*warning autoplay videos*), as well as the Finger Lakes Times of Geneva (with links to previous cheerleading reporting)

So, how many facilities are there between Batavia and Verona?

Batavia Downs Gaming and Racetrack

Finger Lakes Gaming and Racetrack (Farmington)

del Lago Resort and Casino (new)

Yellow Brick Road Casino

Vernon Downs Casino Resort

Turning Stone Resort and Casino

Oh and don’t forget Seneca Niagara Resort and Casino in Niagara Falls, Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino in Salamanca, Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort in the Akwesasne Mohawk Nation outside Massena, Monticello Gaming and Raceway, Tioga Downs Casino & Racetrack, and more!

Good solid decision-making!

Yes, the labor market in the Finger Lakes, and everywhere, is very bad. There are more people than there are jobs. New job opportunities anywhere in Upstate New York generally would be a very good thing, BUT (1) A casino?!? I thought the job market was bad! So are there enough rich people to go around? and (2) the casino market is over-saturated. Yet, for the public as well as the elected leaders here, those problems didn’t merit concern. It’s all about jobs and lower taxes here. Hop on the bandwagon or shut the hell up! JOBS! LOWER TAXES!

Consider this recent write-up from the Finger Lakes Times:

A Casino is a place of hopes and dreams. And as a lineup of dignitaries cut the ribbon officially opening del Lago Resort and Casino Wednesday, those hopes and dreams began to become real for the 1500 employees who work there.

When del Lago was proposed for Seneca County, the unemployment rate was about 7 percent, well above the state and national average, said Jeff Shipley, executive director of the Seneca County Chamber of Commerce. Many of the local people were struggling to make ends meet, working multiple jobs or commuting long distances to support their families. Now, with a job at the casino, they have hopes and dreams of a better future..

That first sentence is insane… a casino is NOT a place of hopes and dreams. It’s a place where you blow all your money. However, the 7% statistic is true. The most recent unemployment rate for Seneca County NY is 4.7%, as of Dec 2016, according to NYS. It was as bad as 9.5% in Jan 2013 and it gradually got down to 3.8% in August 2016, as low as it’s been since 2008. Though keep in mind the employees for Lago come from all over the area, not just Seneca County. Also these stats do not take into consideration under-employment. In 2016 the statewide average percentage of people unemployed combined with people underemployed was calculated to be 9.4% (average statewide unemployment in 2016 was 5.1%).

Also from the write-up:

Hope for time for a better family life is an important side benefit for many del Lago employees, said assistant General Manager Juris Basens. He said 75 percent of the casino’s employees come from a 30-minute radius of the Route 414 complex.

Like Richards, Paul Booth, 53, of Waterloo, is looking forward to a better life with some time to slow down and relax. “I’ve worked hard all my life. Now it’s time to do something fun and exciting,” he explained. That’s why he jumped at the chance to be come a dealer at the casino. “Most of my jobs were physical. I’m getting older in life and don’t want to do heavy labor any more. And I heard the pay was good, too,” he added. The pay’s important to Booth. He was between jobs, he said, when he was hired by del Lago. His unemployment had run out and he was living on his 401-K. The future was getting bleak. But now, he has hope. “I plan to work here until I retire,” he said.

Hope and optimism for the future is what attracted Amber Impson of Border City to apply for a job at the casino. The 27-year-old single mother of two was struggling to provide a good life for her two daughters, age 8 and 2. She’d had dead-end jobs through workforce development programs, been on food stamps and Medicaid. Before being hired as lead of environmental services at the casino, she had a part time job as a housekeeper at a Waterloo hotel. The casino’s full time hours plus medical and dental insurance means she will be self sufficient for the first time. “I’m looking forward to a better future for my kids – and for me,” she said.

The Lord works in mysterious ways! Lots of hope and dreams! Let’s be honest: it’s damn good to see people finding work out there. I have questions, though. How much money will that guy have to retire with? How good is the ‘good pay’ there? How much is she being paid? If it’s under $10/hr, with the kids, she will still need SNAP benefits. (Attn: Paul Ryan.)

More questions: What’s it like working at Lago? What was it like to apply and land a job there? How many prospective employees did a New York State Workforce Development Office assist? How many Lago employees is Lago management receiving tax credits for? Do people accidentally call Lago ‘Lego’? Are the employees under NDA’s? Are the statements in that write-up true, and not a Lago snow job? That entire write-up seems too good to be true.

Here’s the thing: An oversaturated market means job security will be at risk. One (or more) of the above casinos is at serious risk of going out of business –should that happen, jobs gained at Lago will be lost elsewhere. You can’t just say ‘Well we need jobs too! If other people lose their jobs, fuck ‘em. That’s their problem.‘ (And yes, this is what seems, to me, to have been the most common argument for this casino. I’ve heard this first-hand too many times to count.) Without job security, Lago isn’t something you can bank on being there 5 or 10 years from now. That’s unwarranted risk. You can’t even presume a better future for people if we don’t know what the wage, salary structure and working conditions truly are like at Lago, let alone how the broader market will play out. Any ‘hopes and dreams for a better future’ will be quickly dashed if Lago can’t compete in a crowded market. (For instance, a BILLION dollar casino is opening in 2018 near Monticello. Next week in Schenectady--ah, Schenectady!–their new casino opens.) What if del Lago sucks? What if the crowds never materialize? What then, for the workers and the community sold on Hope and Dreams fulfilled?

‘Hopes and dreams’ provided by Lago already comes at the expense risk of other people’s hopes and dreams. At nearby Finger Lakes Gaming and Racetrack, 449 people are employed for the casino and an ambiguous number for the racetrack. The expectation seems to be that FLGR (a Delaware North property) will go out of business. Not if del Lago sucks, it won’t.

Why bring people’s lives up only to have them be crushed 5 years from now because this gamble (forgive the pun) didn’t pay off? Upstate New York needs solid, stable jobs. Casinos ain’t it.

Shit.

Anyway, here’s a colorful, insightful report from the New York Times, from 2014, explaining the Town of Tyre, Seneca County, and some of the supporters & detractors’ positions.

Gannett (d.b.a. Roc Democrat & Chronicle, Ithaca Journal, Bingo Press Bulletin, Elmira Star-Gazelle) reported in Nov 2016 about Lago’s tax deals, a report which seems to be a copy-and-paste job from the Seneca County IDA website and others.

Slot machines will be taxed at … 37 percent at del Lago… Table games will be taxed at 10 percent, according to the state Gaming Commission. Of the tax revenue, 80 percent will go to the state for education aid. An additional 10 percent will go to each region’s counties, and the other 10 percent is split equally between the host county and the host municipality. Local officials are eager for the money. They’ve already received some revenue from the license fee each casino had to pay…

“The focus should not be on the financial assistance for the project, but instead what alternative the county could be faced with and mostly on the tremendous benefit,” the Seneca County IDA said last year about its tax deal with Lago.

Lago will pay $45.3 million over 20 years for its PILOT. The Lago deal, though, is back-loaded, meaning the casino owners will pay nearly $4 million more over the 20 years than they would have without the agreement. In exchange, Lago will pay less in property taxes up front: less than $1 million in each of the first three years, then growing to $2.8 million in 2036, when the agreement expires, records show. Del Lago, owned by Rochester-area developer Thomas Wilmot (and partner Peninsula Pacific, and managed by ‘JNB Gaming LLC’ ), also agreed to pay $10.5 million to Tyre over 20 years to pay for additional local services, such as extra firefighters and police.

Don’t think about the handouts, think of the jobs! Yah okay. Some additional background, also from Gannett, here.

Also, per The Citizen (Auburn)…

Seneca County, Tyre and the six counties in the gaming region — Broome, Chemung, Schuyler, Tioga, Tompkins and Wayne — will receive an estimated $13 million in annual revenues from del Lago. The hosts — Seneca County and the Town of Tyre — will each get a projected $3.25 million a year. The six other municipalities will share roughly $6.5 million annually.

From the Seneca County IDA’s press release in 2015…

Under the agreements, the developers of Lago Resort will pay $45.3 million to Seneca County; the Waterloo Central School District; Route 318 infrastructure improvements; and other payments over 20 years, starting in 2016. The $45.3 million is $3.83 million more than Lago Resort would pay if the project were fully taxed under the New York State statutory 485-b exemptions.

“This is momentous for our community,” said IDA Chairman Tom Macinski. “By working together, we negotiated a package that provides Lago Resort with the 20-year financial certainty it needs and, at the same time, provides significant economic benefits to our community, including designated payments and robust job creation for years to come.”

Is the $45.3 million PILOT a fair deal? Who knows! I don’t. Not one news organization in New York State has looked into that. Anyways, note this from the Seneca County IDA’s website:

If approved, the project would create, conservatively, 1,000 operations jobs (full-time equivalent) and 1,200 construction jobs. In addition, the project would create an additional 1,040 indirect jobs, 600 of which would be during construction

See here’s the JOBS thing again. Robust job creation! The 1,800 jobs promised and breathlessly parroted .. are only part-time or seasonal?!? You can’t bank your hopes and dreams on P/T money. Lago claimed last week to have hired 1,400 people so far (but no info as to P/T or F/T, year-round or seasonal). Note the article with the insane lede, above, claimed 1500 people. WTF.

(Also there’s this from Dec 2015. from the IDA website, cataloguing some of the community opposition.)

Illegal backroom deals to build Lago were suspected. One avenue involved State Senator Mike Nozzolio (who represented Seneca County and called it quits last year), and another involved the State Gaming Commission’s selection process for casino licenses. There was a fierce ad campaign last year and prior. There were lawsuits to stop Lago that weren’t successful. Also, Lago’s backers began site prep in Feb 2015, well before they were even awarded a license to build and operate a casino in Dec 2015. Why? Who knows.

Also, the casino, built precariously near a landfill with odor control problems, was also built around a cemetery (?!?!?)

The Las Vegas style casino built their parking lot around an old family cemetery. Neighbors said decedent’s didn’t want them disturbed during construction. "This is a generational cemetery,“ Lynn Barbuto from Tyre said. In the middle of the parking lot, gravestone’s are peaking through the snow. "New York State Cemetery Association came in and said that Wilmot Corporation could not dig this up and move it,” Barbuto explained.

At least the ‘Casino Free Tyre’ website is still around. They tried.

So Lago stinks. We have an understaffed and toothless press here. Stories were dropped and weren’t picked back up. Reporting mostly consisted of copy and paste from press releases. No checking facts. No perspective. No effort. Many of the elected leaders in Seneca County, the FLX and in Albany (well, undoubtedly everywhere) are shitty people who don’t give a single fuck about the public, so there’s need for a good news outlet: an independent, resourceful, knowledgeable, skeptical press that’s not afraid to call bullshit for bullshit. All folks around here have now are cheerleaders and ‘content producers’ that give shady deals such as Lago a free pass. Meanwhile, many people simply cannot find work that provides enough to make ends meet, let alone provide job security and stability.

‘Fuck em, we need jobs too. Their loss.’

“Mai amato nessuno. Eccetto che in sogno, ed erano bestie, le bestie dei sogni”. Speleologia dentro Samuel Beckett

Lo sketch ha qualcosa di liturgico – di kafkiano. Samuel Beckett bamboleggia tra Proust – sui cui nel 1931 pubblica un celebra saggio –, Joyce, di cui diventa esegeta e segretario – screditando le attenzioni della di lui figlia, la furibonda Lucia – e Dante (del 1932 è il racconto Dante and the Lobster). Cerca una via sicura nella letteratura – sta allestendo la raccolta More Picks Than Kicks –, ha da poco compiuto 27 anni, gli muore il padre. “Eravamo tutti con lui. Quando è finita, lui era molto bello. Ho temuto che mia madre crollasse, ma è stata ed è meravigliosa. Ora la casa è molto vuota e muta”. La morte muta i vivi, dona splendore ai morti. Poi scrive, all’amico Thomas McGreevy, è il 2 luglio 1933, “Aveva sessantun anni compiuti, ma sembrava più giovane, e lo era. Ha scherzato e imprecato contro i medici finché ha avuto fiato. Era a letto con la faccia coperta di piselli odorosi, giurando e spergiurando che una volta guarito non avrebbe fatto più un bel niente. Sarebbe salito con la macchina fino in cima a Howth e si sarebbe sdraiato tra le felci a scoreggiare. Le sue ultime parole sono state «Combatti combatti combatti» e «Che mattina»”. Dopo lo sketch, la rivelazione: “Non posso scrivere di lui. Posso solo seguirlo a piedi tra i campi e oltre i fossati”. Ecco, il carisma dell’opera di Beckett: inseguire i morti, a piedi – anche a quattro zampe se è il caso – tra i campi, al di là dei fossati, al di là di ogni al di là.

La morte del padre in ogni caso è sempre l’episodio determinante. Come il primo assalto, l’offesa, la ferita, il duello improvviso. Nel 1929 Beckett conosce Suzanne Déchevaux-Dumesnil. Più grande di sei anni, severa, di sinistra, pianista. S’incontrano, definitivamente, nove anni dopo – dopo che lui, con silenziosa malizia, si fa preda dell’estro di Peggy Guggenheim. Beckett è preso d’assalto, per strada, di notte, il 6 gennaio 1938, a Parigi, da uno sconosciuto. Questi i fatti secondo il “The Irish Times”. “Mr Beckett, aggredito e ferito vicino al cuore, è stato portato in ospedale in gravi condizioni… Mr Beckett stava accompagnando a casa alcuni amici quando è stato infastidito da un senzatetto. All’invito ad andarsene, il barbone avrebbe dato un calcio a Mr Beckett e ci sarebbe stata una colluttazione. Quando Mr Beckett è entrato nell’appartamento del suo amico, si è aperto il soprabito e ha trovato del sangue che gli colava da una ferita”. Secondo altre fonti, non si trattava di un barbone: quello che gli ha appioppato una coltellata è un “pappone”. All’amico Thomas, il 12 gennaio, SB scrive: “La pleura è stata lesa, ma a quanto pare il polmone no. Prima ero in corsia, poi Joyce mi ha fatto spostare in una stanza singola. Sono stati tutti quanti di una gentilezza incredibile. Sono venuti mia madre, Frank e Jean. Fin dall’inizio ho pregato chiunque di fermarli. Sembra però che la cosa si sia risaputa al volo in tutta Dublino e sia stata orribilmente esagerata”. Joyce in ospedale con Beckett ferito al costato – scena teatrale. Al capezzale di SB c’è Suzanne. Non lo mollerà più. Sarà la sua compagna per la vita. Muore prima lei, il 17 luglio del 1989. Lui la segue, qualche mese dopo, il 22 dicembre. Dalla ferita inferta con il coltello, cola lo spirito del padre, Beckett comincia una nuova vita. Quell’anno, due mesi esatti dopo l’assalto, esce Murphy.

Il desiderio dell’ultima parola non per vezzo, ma in virtù di deserto: spianare il gergo perché un altro lo coltivi. Beckett – perfino fisicamente: un ragazzo che eccelle nello sport, e poi, drasticamente, un uomo minato, corroso dai mali – s’incarica della tradizione, gesticola verbi, fino al punto dove non c’è distanza tra fiore e clangore, tra pietra e bacio, tra piantare e sradicare. In uno dei suoi libri più ispirati, passato in Italia come Rovinare le sacre verità (Garzanti, 1992), Harold Bloom riconosce in Beckett “il più forte degli autori in occidente, l’ultimo sopravvissuto di una sequela che comprende Proust, Kafka e Joyce”. Agli occhi di Bloom, in estasi gnostica, il mondo di Beckett postula che siano uno Creazione e Caduta. “Basilide o Valentino, eresiarchi alessandrini, avrebbero subito riconosciuto il mondo della trilogia o delle commedie più importanti: Aspettando Godot, Fine di partita, L’ultimo nastro di Krapp. È il mondo dominato dagli Arconti, il kenoma, il non-luogo di vuoto. La spiritualità enigmatica s’impegna nella ricerca (benché sporadica) di un vuoto che sia una pienezza, dell’abisso o pleroma che gli gnostici chiamavano sia antenato che antenata. Possiamo parlare di gnosticismo naturale piuttosto che rivelato nel caso di Beckett”.

L’idea che Beckett sia maestro degli gnostici del II secolo mi affascina, lo ammetto, d’altronde la letteratura è nel senza tempo e i primi destinatari di ogni scritto sono i morti. Eppure, la pulizia di Beckett – che si esercita in groviglio verbale – è sapienza che ricavo in Giobbe: “Egli è flagello, uccide in un momento: ma si beffa della prova degl’innocenti… se egli ruina la cosa non può essere riedificata… toglie il senno a’ capi de’ popoli della terra, e gli fa andar vagando per luoghi diserti, ove non ha via alcuna. Vanno attentone per la tenebra, senza luce alcuna” (cito brandelli di Giobbe dalla traduzione, che mi sbilancia all’ode, di Giovanni Diodati). Deserto, cioè: diserzione dal letterario. Andare a tentoni, tentennando, nella pece del giorno, nella tenebra.

Al TeatroBasilica in Roma, spazio scenico benedetto topograficamente dal sacro – sta sotto la Scala Santa, in San Giovanni in Laterano – nella selva di fine febbraio, andrà in scena un lavoro su Beckett. Il regista Marco Carniti mi introduce in Beckett. A volte soffochi: come in una foresta di betulle, ti sembra di capire che l’anima è un osso, che il corpo è patto in parole, parolaio – e tu, è inevitabile, il frainteso.

Di Beckett amo From an Abandoned Work. Il tentativo, dopo la trilogia, di tornare al romanzo. L’opera si arena, nel 1955, e diventa l’apice dell’abbandono – e questo abbandono, l’opera che abbandona lo scrittore, questa faglia di marmo su cui è abbozzato un viso, ti schiaccia. L’opera è pubblica nel 1958 – io l’ho nella traduzione Einaudi di Valerio Fantinel e Guido Neri, in Teste-morte. Quell’anno Beckett conosce Barbara Brey, vedova, due figli, 34 anni, lavoro in BBC. Sarà l’altra compagna per la vita. Suzanne – che sposa, in segreto, nel 1961 – è la moglie glaciale; Barbara, che si trasferisce a Parigi per essergli più vicino proprio nell’anno in cui SB si sposa, è il corpo, la confidente, la collaboratrice. “Era la sola persona con cui Beckett condividesse regolarmente gli esiti del suo lavoro. In ogni caso, lei si scherniva, ‘Non ho avuto alcuna influenza sulla natura della sua opera. Egli era unico, certo di sé, di quello che voleva dire’… La Bray fu tentata di scrivere un libro sulla sua relazione con Beckett, durata fino alla morte del grande drammaturgo: desistette. Diceva che erano insopportabili e superficiali i racconti che le donne facevano dei loro amori… Le 713 lettere che Beckett le ha scritto sono custodite al Trinity College di Dublino (lui ha distrutto tutta la sua corrispondenza)”, ha scritto Andrew Todd, celebrando la morte di Barbara, “traduttrice, critica, editor e compagna di Beckett”, accaduta nel marzo del 2010.

Da un’opera abbandonata è un delirio, il deambulare verbale di un uomo che cerca i morti, che cerca il padre – “Ho ucciso io mio padre?”, “Ho mai ucciso qualcuno?”. Il verbo di Amleto sembra fondersi con quello del profeta Daniele: “una voce sognante continuamente bisbiglia intorno, che è qualcosa, la voce che una volta era sulle tue labbra”. L’uomo, che parla in prima persona, è ossessionato dal bianco, tutto è bianco ai suoi occhi, un cavallo, “mia madre bianca alla finestra” – “Il bianco, devo dire che il bianco mi ha sempre fatto una grande impressione, tutte le cose bianche, lenzuola, pareti e così via, anche i fiori, ma solo il bianco, l’idea del bianco e nient’altro” –, forse quest’uomo marcia nel limbo, il bianco lembo di nulla tra questo e l’altro mondo, è nel tonfo, nel mezzo, tra i vivi e i morti. La ricerca, screziando gli assurdi, è sapienziale: occorre il verbo che faccia apparire i morti, la parola che scombini la morte in vita. Il testo va letto sinotticamente al capitolo 42 di Moby Dick, che Melville dedica alla “Bianchezza della Balena”.

Quel bianco, in Beckett, è una chiesa – sei tu, ora, a dover tracciare l’icona, quella che ti mangerà, appena terminata l’opera.

La descrizione della fine come un luogo nel crisma del corpo: “Finito, finito, c’è un morbido angolo del mio cuore per tutto ciò che è finito, no, per tutto il finire, mi piace la parola, le parole sono state il mio solo amore, non molte d’altronde”. Se le cose esistesse, il potere della parola sarebbe irrisorio – la parola, questo brandire bramiti, coltiva l’assenza, evoca, ricama assonanze, fa risorgere l’assente, ammazza appena nomina. “Anche l’amore, spesso nei miei pensieri, da ragazzo in nulla simile agli altri ragazzi, non mi faceva dormire, trovavo. Mai amato nessuno, dovrei aggiungere. Eccetto che in sogno, ed erano bestie, le bestie dei sogni, nulla a che vedere con quelle che s’incontrano in campagna. Non potrei descriverle. Creature affascinanti, bianche il più delle volte”.

Ecco come ha amato Beckett. Scavando – aveva viso d’aquila, d’altronde. Fino al cupo bianco dove di noi non resta che lo sfinito, l’animale che fummo. (d.b.)

L'articolo “Mai amato nessuno. Eccetto che in sogno, ed erano bestie, le bestie dei sogni”. Speleologia dentro Samuel Beckett proviene da Pangea.

California’s largest electricity provider, Pacific Gas & Electric, started shutting off power early Wednesday, eventually planning to throw about 800,000 customers in the Bay Area into darkness in an attempt to prevent more wildfires. [LA Times / Joseph Serna, Jaclyn Cosgrove, and Patrick McGreevy]

Forecasts for the week predicted strong, dry winds (known colloquially as a diablo), drawing concerns about power lines sparking wildfires. The two deadliest wildfires in recent years occurred under similar conditions. [The Mercury News / George Avalos, Fiona Kelliher, and Ethan Baron]

The power outages will impact at least 34 counties across California in areas across the state. [San Francisco Chronicle]

Despite plans to keep the power off for two to three days, PG&E stated it could take up to a week to restore power. [NYT / Thomas Fuller]

PG&E was found liable in last year’s deadly blaze across Paradise, California, killing 85 and causing billions of dollars in damage. The company filed bankruptcy after being swamped with liability claims. [Washington Post / Scoot Wilson]

Wildfire simulators predict the worst, prompting preventative measures like the PG&E blackout. [Vox / Eliza Barclay]

The Atlantic’s Kendra Atleework cites human innovation as the main reason the West Coast seems to be continually catching on fire. [The Atlantic / Kendra Atleework]

State of emergency moves Ecuador capital

For the first time in Ecuador’s history, President Lenín Moreno moved the national capital away from Quito, an effort to escape widespread protests over cuts to public benefits. [NYT / José María León Cabrera]

Ecuadorian indigenous-led groups are calling for Moreno’s resignation and reinstatement of government subsidies that were removed at the direction of the International Monetary Fund. [Miami Herald / Gonzalo Solano]

Workers’ United Front union leader Mesias Tatamuez said that government removal of subsidies serves to “reward the big banks, the capitalists, and punish poor Ecuadoreans.” [Reuters / Alexandra Valencia]

The austerity measures, a stipulation of the IMF $4.2 billion loan, included the rescinding of fuel subsidies and caused a 100 percent rise in gas prices in Ecuador. [BBC]

Miscellaneous

Apple removes a Taiwanese flag emoji from Hong Kong iPhones, riding the line between maintaining their relationship with China and supporting free speech. [Bloomberg / Mark Gurman]

An Alaska school received 10 expensive guitars after they were seized by federal agents. [Anchorage Daily News / Tegan Hanlon]

A new NASA plane runs on electricity, the first step towards zero-emissions aviation. [Vox / Umair Irfan]

Simone Biles won a historic 15th gold medal, and Team USA took home gold. [AP / James Ellingworth]

Verbatim

“This is probably worth $100 at the junkyard.” [Write-in 2020 independent presidential candidate Kasey Wells on his 11-foot-tall scrap metal elephant campaign marketing tool]

Watch this: Are you supposed to tip in an Uber?

Why is tipping etiquette on ride-sharing apps so murky? [YouTube / Danush Parvaneh]

Cotton Pickers, Thomas Hart Benton, 1945, Art Institute of Chicago: American Art

The American Regionalist Thomas Hart Benton painted Cotton Pickers based on notes of a trip he made to Georgia in the late 1920s. He depicted the dignity of the cotton pickers in the face of backbreaking labor and intense summer heat, rendering the dry fields and the working bodies in a sinuous, curvilinear style. Benton held progressive views on race, social relations, and politics, and he believed ardently that African American history was central to the understanding of American culture. Cotton sharecropping, an agricultural system that developed after the Civil War, allowed landowners to rent land to poor farmers in return for a share of the crops. Because sharecropping kept agricultural laborers impoverished, it became a symbol of a racially and economically unjust system. Cotton cultivation became one of Benton’s most important subjects, especially as the rapid industrialization of the nation during World War II changed the American landscape.
