Dating app giant Match Group CEO creates fund for Texas employees seeking out-of-state abortion care | β€œI personally, as a woman in Texas, could not keep silent,” Match CEO Shar Dubey said in a letter to employees.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 45%. (I'm a bot)


> Dallas-based Match Group CEO Shar Dubey is establishing a fund to assist employees and their dependents in seeking abortion care in other states following the passage of a near-total ban on abortions in Texas this week.

> The Match chief executive notified employees of the fund in an email obtained by The Dallas Morning News."The company generally does not take political stands unless it is relevant to our business. But in this instance, I personally, as a woman in Texas, could not keep silent," Dubey wrote, giving employees notice of a statement she'd provided to news media about the new legislation.

> In the letter, Dubey also announces she is setting up a fund to benefit the company's Texas-based employees or their dependents who "Find themselves impacted by this legislation and need to seek care outside of Texas."

> The Texas legislature passed SB 8 this week which makes it illegal to get an abortion after six weeks of pregnancy and deputizes private citizens to bring lawsuits against anyone who aids and abets an individual seeking abortion care.

> "I'm not speaking about this as the CEO of a company. I'm speaking about this personally, as a mother and a woman who has fervently cared about women's rights, including the very fundamental right of choice over her body - this is a very sad day. I immigrated to America from India over 25 years ago and I have to say, as a Texas resident, I am shocked that I now live in a state where women's reproductive laws are more regressive than most of the world, including India. Surely everyone should see the danger of this highly punitive and unfair law that doesn't even make an exception for victims of rape or incest. I would hate for our state to take this big step back in women's rights."

> I also wanted to let you know that I am setting up a fund to ensure that if any of our Texas-based employees or a dependent find themselves impacted by this legislation and need to seek care outside of Texas, the fund will help cover the additional costs incurred.

Ability to "Super Like" has been removed, WTF?

Free user here, i carefully choose who to give my allotted 1 super like per 24 hours to.

as of right now, it's been 36 hours since I've been permitted the ability to super like, and the timer is now gone too.

I think Tinder is making some big, horrible changes to their platform. May Jim Lanzone and Shar Dubey rot in hell because of it.

Major corporations lobby against Texas pro-life legislation

By James Anthony Montreal QC September 4, 2021 3:06 PM 2 Mins Reading

Aligning with abortion advocates across America, numerous major US corporations are lobbying against the pro-life Texas legislation that essentially bans abortions after hearts are detectable and allows private citizens to sue abortion providers as well as anyone "aiding and abetting" the procedure.

Logan Green, the CEO of Lyft, tweeted in support of rideshare drivers who take women to abortion clinics and stated that the company will back a defense fund:

TX SB8 threatens to punish drivers for getting people where they need to goβ€” especially women exercising their right to choose. Lyft has created a Driver Legal Defense Fund to cover 100% of legal fees for drivers sued under SB8 while driving on our platform.β€” Logan Green September 3, 2021

Uber's CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, tweeted in response to Green's tweet, uniting Uber in a similar coverage scheme and saying "thanks for the push."

Right on logangreen - drivers shouldn’t be put at risk for getting people where they want to go. Team Uber is in too and will cover legal fees in the same way. Thanks for the push.β€” dara khosrowshahi September 3, 2021

Since the new law places the onus on Texan citizens to sue suspects for "aiding and abetting" in the performance of abortions once the pregnancy passes the roughly six-week mark, the concern is that rideshare drivers may be sued for driving someone to get an abortion, despite having no knowledge of such.

According to CNBC, a rideshare driver could be held liable for up to $10,000 if prosecuted for helping a woman in the process of getting an abortion.

As outlined by Lyft in its announcement, the company's Driver Legal Defense Fund is slated to cover all the legal fees for any driver sued under the Texas heartbeat law. "Riders and Drivers: Nothing about how you drive, ride or interact with each other should change," Lyft stated via press release on the matter.

The CEO's of dating apps Tinder and Bumble took things one step further, saying that the companies were setting up separate legal funds which would allow Texas-based employees of the corporations to get an abortion in another state.

Shar Dubey, the CEO of Match (Tinder's parent company, headquartered in Dallas) stated, "The company generally does not take political stands unless it is relevant to our business. But in this instance, I personally, as a woman in Texas, could not keep silent," according to Reuters.

Bad news is good news

Seeking Alpha wishes our subscribers a great Labor Day Weekend! Wall Street Breakfast won't be published with markets closed on Monday, but tune back in Tuesday.

After squeaking out another round of record closes on Thursday, U.S. stock index futures are ahead by 0.2%, before a jobs report that many are seeing as the next catalyst for the market. Forecasts from economists suggest the U.S. added 750K jobs in August, after rising by 943K in July, while the unemployment rate is expected to inch down to 5.2%, from 5.4% the previous month. Yesterday, new weekly jobless claims weighed in at 340K, which was better than analysts had expected and marked a new low in the pandemic era.

Snapshot: The report could end up being more interesting than Jackson Hole, with fresh data on non-farm payrolls providing a better timeline for the end of the Fed's $120B/month bond buying program. The central bank has related that tapering will start before interest rates are raised, so investors will be closely watching that front. If the jobs report comes in stronger than expected, a tapering announcement could happen in November, but if the numbers are weak, the end of asset purchases could be pushed off.

"We are in the weird world where bad news is good news in terms of risk appetite. Anything that says we might see a more hawkish central bank, that's bad news," said Lee Ferridge, head of macro strategy for North America at State Street Global Markets.

Outlook: A big wild card in the data is the surging Delta variant, which has kept some unemployed people at home and frustrated efforts by employers to boost hiring. Despite the flare-up in cases, the leisure and hospitality sector likely accounted for a big chunk of payroll gains last month, though factory hiring was probably constrained by input shortages. If growth in August meets expectations, it would leave the level of U.S. employment about 5M jobs short of its peak in February 2020. (2 comments) Coming to an end

In an irony that coincides with Labor Day, enhanced pandemic unemployment benefits will be coming to an end this weekend. The assistance, which helped out-of-work Americans during the pandemic, were distributed under several programs created by the CARES Act. Among them: Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation and Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation.

Historic safety net: States issued $794B in combined state and federal unemployment benefits f

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
