Donald Trump Names WWE's Linda McMahon To Head Small Business Administration :0)

You just can't make up stupid shit like this. :)

Because life is one cruel joke after another, Linda McMahon, former president and CEO of the WWE, has been named to head up President-elect Donald Trump’s Small Business Administration.

It is hard to think of any person whose life work has been more inimical to workers, and indeed to small businesses, than McMahon. WWE has made untold profits from using labor loopholes to classify its employees as “independent contractors,” denying them overtime despite grueling travel schedules and health care despite the physical toll taken by the job. WWE has made aggressive use of industry tax credits designed to create jobs even as it laid off workers, and smothered even the slightest unionization efforts. Her company has obtained a de facto monopoly in the pro wrestling business through a ruthless campaign of crushing, suing, and pricing out competitors, many of them actual small businesses. This is no less insulting than if Trump had picked someone from the Wal-Mart board.

So what makes her qualified for this job? It probably isn’t all the money she’s made peddling racism and misogyny, or her proximity to very real drug and domestic-violence scandals. What might not hurt is the fact that Linda donated $6 million to a super PAC funding Trump’s presidential campaign, and that she and husband Vince—longtime allies of Trump whose business dealings with him go back to the 1980s—have given $5 million to the Trump Foundation, making them the single largest outside donors.

McMahon stepped down from the WWE to make two unsuccessful Senate runs, but the McMahon family—mostly Vince—still controls 56 percent of WWE.

if i understand correctly wwf started as a fairly small wrestling organization with plenty of competing organizations out there and grew to a multinational global brand. Sounds like a good pick.

Undoubtedly, you would .. even if he picked Mickey Mouse to head the SBA.

But to the world outside the fantasy land Trump supporters live in, this is a joke and an embarrassment to the United States .. AND, you Trumpies can never, ever say any damn thing EVER again about CRONYISM.

That word should never come out of your mouth or from your fingers ever again.

Let's be honest you'd never be satisfied by anyone appointed by Trump, end of story. She may be brilliant or an unmitigated disaster but you seemingly have recourse to your very own soothsayer and are therefore able to inform us of the future ahead of time.

So can you tell me if it will be a White Xmas in London this year, so I can make some money placing a bet?

WWE has made untold profits from using labor loopholes to classify its employees as “independent contractors?


The "safe harbor' rule has been around for over 30 years, maybe 40....Probably enacted for the benefit of movie makers and studios in Hollywood....

She sounds pretty successful to me....knows how to run a business.
If she was selling bras and girdles would that make you happy....

smart people use that to their advantage. :) Mark Callaway (The Undertaker) was able to trademark Undertaker under his name so he still earns royalties from it to this day. Not to mention that if they were employees to WWE the wrestlers could not wrestle in Japan and could not have switched over quickly from WWE/WCW when the monday night wars was ongoing.
 
Businesses didn't make the laws or write the rules, but you'd have to an idiot to ignore them or not use them to your advantage if you can.

She lost two elections so...

This is just payback to a trump crony. Just think, her yuge donation bought his portraits. "The McMahons have donated $5 million to Donald Trump's charity, the Donald J. Trump Foundation.."

So we shouldn't be alarmed that a corporate CEO who has exploited legal loopholes to create a monopoly and has ruthlessly exploited labor laws will have the interest of small businesses at heart? Just as we shouldn't worry that a science denying lap dog of the PIA will protect our health, safety and property from the toxic refuse of large polluters?

Right! You should then be interested in the ocean front property in Nebraska I have for sale. Trump says it's a fantastic opportunity. You can help make Nebraska great again!
