The people who want the minimum wage to be a living wage.
https://berniesanders.com/issues/a-living-wage/Millions of Americans are working for totally inadequate wages. We must ensure that no full-time worker lives in poverty. The current federal minimum wage is starvation pay and must become a living wage. We must increase it to $15 an hour over the next several years.
That's why I chose $30K/year.
I have no problem with upping the minimum wage so a working person can live above poverty, but bringing everyone above poverty just for being born (or turning 18 or whenever the wage starts) should not be the goal of this program. Basic income should be to keep people from starving to death and from living on the streets. Basic income should also not be considered when deciding to raise the minimum wage. Raise it up to $15/hour anyway. This, along with the $15,000 basic income will make it more sustainable to live off a minimum wage job.
Also, if the government gives me $30,000/year but I have to work at some boring, back breaking job 40 hours/week to make $32,000/year then why the hell shouldn't I just sit home and play video games?
Who the hell's taking $30,000/year? That's way too much. I'd say $15,000/year is plenty for basic needs. A brand new car, 50" flat screen TV, the latest iPhone with mega data plan, etc is NOT basic needs. Basic needs are food, shelter, medical and dental coverage. Anything else is a luxury, and you can get off your ass and work for it.

Who the hell's talking $30,000/year? Christ, that's way too much. I'd say $15,000/year is plenty for basic needs. A brand new car, 50" flat screen TV, latest iPhone, etc are not fucking basic needs. Food, water shelter and medical/dental are basic needs. Anything more is a luxury.
I work with USAF pilots, and in fact am sitting right now in the Current Ops of a major AF base. Fact: no officer coming out of pilot school wants drones. None.
You're either lying, or we're in one hell of a state of insecurity. When I was in the Navy, in our secret and above areas we weren't allowed to have cell phones or even pagers, and there sure as hell wasn't internet access in there. If you are sitting in a Current Ops center accessing the internet, thanks for possibly helping breach our national security.
The F-35 is not wanted by the military, it's being pushed on them by Congress. It has never worked as ordered, and needed to be scrapped years ago. This flaw, and all others, needs to be fixed on the industries dime, not with even more of my tax dollars going into the coffers of the rich CEO's. It was their ineptitude and cost cutting that created this mess in the first place.
I think it's time we cleaned House and Congress and got rid of all those money grubbing corrupt puppets.
And why shouldn't they? You use someone else's property, you should pay them for it. End of story.
I have absolutely no sympathy for people profiting off of other's work.
Then they need go bring copyright terms back to a reasonable length of time. Copyrights need to be retroactively returned to pre 1972 terms, if not further.
Traditionally bred crops don't contain DNA from incompatible and/or non plant species or totally man made sequences. Other than the lowered nutritional value, it can reasonably be considered safe. The monster crops Monsanto is pushing out on us, however, cannot. Not without major testing that they won't allow, or are hiding the results of because they know it's harmful. If people want to eat GMO foods without knowing fully the effects it has on their bodies, so be it, labelling won't stop them. Just let those of us who don't want to gamble with our future health, or that of our children, decide for ourselves.
The cigarette industry fought against labelling cigarette packages and hid studies of the harmful effects for years. Do you think the food industry is above doing this? I don't, and I prefer to error on the side of caution when it comes to my health.
The old saying "you are what you eat" is truer than you think. You body is made up 100% of what you eat and drink, and it's manufacturing system works on a molecular level. Eat what you want and give me the information to eat what I want.
Manufacturers are already required to display all sorts of things they would rather not, including caloric content, nutritional value if any, and actual ingredients used to assemble the product
And as soon as you can show that GMO food affects consumer health, like the caloric content does, then we should have a warning for GMO as well.
By that time, it may be too late. Look what the low fat craze and HFCS is not bad for you BS has done to the health of the American population. We still don't know what goes on in our digestive system on a molecular level, and there are some studies that say the DNA of our food may have some effect on us. I'd rather not eat something with pesticide, or resistance to it, somehow built into it on a genetic level without fully knowing that will not effect my health in the future.
Stack Overflow reports that more developers now use OS X than Linux as their primary OS, and that if the trend continues, fewer than half of all developers will be using Windows next year.
Someone care to enlighten me on the logic here? Where does Windows usage become involved in the OS X vs Linux equation. Or, if they're trying to say people are jumping ship from Win to OS X, why mention Linux at all? Either way, there's one too many OS's mentioned in TFS. Didn't read TFA, because TFS does not compute.
I highly doubt that. Any hotel that used a lock that is nothing but a card shaped slot with a physical switch that activates with anything remotely card shaped is inserted is just asking for a major lawsuit, and would be sued into bankruptcy within the first year of instillation. The majority of card readers these days are magnetic strip, those that are not use an older keycard with holes in it that activate mechanical switches in the lock in a similar manner to the tumblers in a keyed lock. Newer locks may be chipped, but I've never seen one like that.
Christians wiping out civilizations is not the same as Christianity wiping out those civilizations. The root cause of the genocide was empire building rather than following the precepts of Christianity.
That is utter bullshit. Christianity IS the Christians it's made up of. The expansion into the Americas was sanctioned by the church to spread the word of god to the heathens, the actual reason may have been to exploit the resources, but the justification was to promote Christianity. This makes it Christianity's responsibility.

I'm not sure if you've been following things lately, but her in the U.S., we're devolving into a dictatorship as well. So far, it's been government agencies becoming the dictators, but given the way we're going, I give us less than 50 years before we're an actual dictatorship, or a group of small dictatorships ruled over by our regional corporate dictators.
Christianity wiped out entire civilizations of the Americas and Africa, killing the vast majority of them because they were not "human". Counting the many millions killed in the name of one god or another, religion, it could easily be argued, has killed more people than any other unnatural source since the dawn of religion.
"special operations types are highly capable and have proven it... the sub ran aground... recon team executed the sailors... Most of the recon team was killed..."
"Highly capable" doesn't mean what you think it means.
If you hunt an peck the statements you use, you can make even the U.S. Navy Seals sound incompetent. The sub running aground had nothing to do with the N.K. special operations team, the fact they surveilled the base for days without detection, killed the entire crew to help cover their mission, and then evaded the South Korean military for over a month before, possibly, one of them made it back to deliver their data speaks highly of their capabilities.
The sad thing is that many liberal will read this and it will play straight into their bias on how they think conservatives really think.
The real sad thing about this is that there is a, unfortunately not small, portion of the population that actually believes this. Well, maybe not the flat earth part, but the rest is gospel truth and gospel truth wins out over actual truth to them.
I'm not sure why you're getting modded down, perhaps because AC, but you're correct. I don't know why, but for some reason I've been under the impression SteamOS was Ubuntu 12 based.
Windows only means VR games will only be available on Windows? Seeing as how Valves own OS is Ubuntu based, one would think they'd support that as well.

And the mouse they rode in on.
The last Star Wars was crap anyway, and not worth the measly $2.00 I paid RedBox to see it.

Just because someone's depressed doesn't automatically make them an expert in the cases and treatment.
Yes, 2002 was when the corruption started. Must've been because Cheney left.

Most of the those switches activate when you stick anything at all into them...which totally defeats the purpose.
They don't unlock the door unless the correct thing is stuck into them. Pretty simple to tie it into the same computer system.
