VB in the Middle

Cashless stores or businesses are popping up a lot lately as technology increases. New Jersey is the second state, behind Massachusetts to ban cashless operations, finding it discriminatory against customers. We discuss whether you are a cash payer or card payer most of the time and if you have a problem with cashless businesses.

Every St. Patrick's Day, they host an St. Patrick's Day Breakfast with all the Boston politicians and every year the jokes get worse and worse. VB has offered to help write them but for some reason no one has taken him up on it...VB breaks down the top 3 best & worst jokes from the breakfast.

Shake Shack is starting to introduce a 4 day work week for it's employees. They believe that's what their employees want, to have more time for play and thus are experimenting with the idea in their Las Vegas restaurants. Would you rather a 4 day work week or a 5? Lightning and Waffles like the idea of 4 days, VB does not.

Beto O'Rourke felt the need to apologize after making the statements that while he's out campaigning his wife is "at home raising their kids, sometimes with his help". During an interview he admitted it was a mistake to say that and that yes the criticism is valid. Meanwhile, the rest of us don't see any problem with his statement and he's just giving into the SJWs to avoid backlash from them...was his statement that much of an affront or was it the truth? We discuss.

The horrific New Zealand terror attack where the murderer live streamed his heinous act, raises the question as to how we should proceed with social media usage. Should we put restrictions and limits on social media? Or is that an infringement of our rights and free speech?
