 That’s Not Fair - Kim Kardashian Says Prisoners Who Fought L.A. Wildfires Were Paid 'Just a Few Dollars,' and She Wants to Change That A renewed push for prison labor reform is gaining attention, with Kim Kardashian stepping in to support new legislation aimed at changing how incarcerated workers are paid. The bill, reintroduced on March 19 by Cory Booker, seeks to ensure that people working while incarcerated receive at least the federal minimum wage. It also proposes limits on deductions for fees, fines, and living costs within correctional facilities, through amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act. Kardashian, who has increasingly focused on criminal justice reform, explained that her support is rooted in what she witnessed during the Los Angeles wildfires.  “I personally watched incarcerated people who risked their lives battling the massive wildfires,” she said, pointing out that many were paid only a few dollars a day despite doing the same high-risk work as profess...

CHINESE BOSS DROPS $26MILLION IN CASH AT END OF YEAR PARTY, TELLS EMPLOYEES TO TAKE AS MUCH AS THEY CAN CARRY. (VIDEO/PHOTO).



Chinese boss drops $26million in cash at end of year party, tells employees to take as much as they can carry


A Chinese company stunned staff by stacking $26 million in cash at its end-of-year celebration, inviting employees to take home as much money as they could carry.


The firm, Henan Kuangshan Crane Co. Ltd., hosted its annual party on February 13, spreading the enormous sum across 800 banquet tables.


Beneath bright, colorful lights, sharply dressed employees were seen eagerly sizing up the towering piles of banknotes laid out before them.


An estimated 7,000 people attended the company’s celebration. 


One employee managed to carry home $13,000 worth of cash, according to Korean newspaper Chosun Daily. 


During the company’s gala, the firm’s boss, Cui Peijun, reportedly said: ‘Why are we giving out washing machines? Do you think gold prices have gone up? 


‘In previous years, we gave necklaces and rings, bring up the cash and give everyone another 20,000 yuan ($2,800).’


He said of the unusual method of handing out bonuses: ‘Some people ask why we don’t just transfer the money to their accounts, but that way, it’s just cold numbers.’


Cui holds 98.88% of the company’s shares, effectively returning a major portion of his dividends to employees. 


The company, which makes and hires out cranes, was set up in 2002 and has business operations in over 130 countries. 


It has a history of generosity towards its employees. 


In 2024, the company recorded a net profit of $38million, of which around $24million was given to employees. 


In 2023, the firm gave $8.5million to its 40 highest performing workers, with the three best salespeople each earning $730,000. 


To celebrate International Women’s Day last March, it gave nearly $230,000 in bonuses to nearly 2,000 female employees. 


Peijun has previously spoken out about his motivation for giving out so much money to his staff: ‘It is not that I love giving out money, it is that young people are burdened with car loans and mortgages and any relief we can offer helps.’.
