you get no argument from me about messed up education system. but minimum wage is no way to deal with the fallout of it.
also, in all honesty, how hard would it be for someone with an ounce of personal responsibility to take few classes from a local community college and get a more gainful employment than minimum wage? or, spend few weeks in a library?
Math most certainly isn't a natural science, since it doesnt depend on nature for evidence.
Math most certainly is a science since it does depend on evidence same as any other discipline based on the scientific method.
I modded Rosyna's commend insightful because while technically somewhat inaccurate, she (or he) is making an insightful point that string theory is at this stage of its development is much more about math than about empirical evidence.
so a school with 30 laptops per class doesnt have the funding to buy a $400 router per class? so we have to throw $10k/year at them just to avoid engaging common sense?
we're already outspending nearly every western nation, how's that working out?
all i'm saying is lets _think_ before we spend.
its telling that this idea gets flagged as flame bait and troll..
i have no opinion of you, as i don't know you. i only have opinion of what you've said. if i misunderstood that in some way i apologize.
you invited me to "deal with it" where as i've zero problem with unions competing on the open market same as any other corporation. which was my point.
wifi setup requires hardly any maintenance. 1-2 headcount per school district at most. chances are they already have admins on staff. a little training is all that might be needed.
or contract a private shop to maintain wifi infrastructure.
any way you look at this $$ it can't possibly be justified except that it will be spent lining politicians pockets.
i'm not in a union and have no interest in joining, my job is fine. i was never unemployed for more than 2 months (following my arrival here, i couldn't speak english then).
more over i emigrated a country that was TOTALLY unionized. the only thing protected was mediocre performance and pay.
so with all due respect, tell your happy union stories to someone who doesnt know what a union is.
unions are the reason i can't find a decent school for my son and there is a lottery to get into a union-free charter school.

seriously, what am i missing?
presence of ads does no more to user's control of the device than tv ads do with regard to control of the television set.
what you're talking about is circumventing app owners' revenue source.
whether you choose to think of that as shoplifting or "fighting the power" is your personal choice but at least don't confuse it with control.
don't like ads? vote with your feet, buy ad-free apps. that _is_ control, btw.
for vast majority of people jailbreak, in fact, constitutes loss of control.
would you then agree that its important to help folks both with fish _and_ fish poles?
Yes. That is in fact precisely how I feel about it. Teaching 'em how to use the pole is right in there as well.
terrific. we agree.
It's awful how entitlement programs are designed to self-perpetuate by cutting off recipients when they just begin to get their shit together.
i think you have causality exactly backwards here. i doubt we'll agree on this point though, so lets move on.
do you think too much fish can be a factor in demotivating people from learning to use the fish pole?
agreed.
would you then agree that its important to help folks both with fish _and_ fish poles?
It would be hard for them to see the value in it, from where they're standing.
indeed it would be if the minimum wage was enough to subsist at a level they've been conditioned to think was sufficient.

its the proverbial "fish vs fish pole" thing.
you'd have to subsidize much more than just health if $400/wk was to provide for 4 people.
allow me to propose an alternative.
how about spending 6-18 months to develops marketable skills before starting a family? too much to ask?
so.. what you're saying is, as long as one has a job, skilled or not, they should be able to afford to live comfortably and support up to four people?
thats a great utopia if you can find it, but i'm not sure it exists on this planet..

do i wish i had mod points, this needs to be modded up

$10k per school per year to improve wifi is nothing??
i get your point that the other guy is worse but come on, this isn't "nothing".
notion that unions can't survive in fair competition confuses you? well.. i'm not surprised :)
except they're monopolies and people like you rationalize against emergence of competition like charter schools.
otherwise let unions compete for work and workers, perfectly fine by me.
now YOU deal with it.

right, but this bill is only funding wifi improvements.

this is a subsidy for _internal_ networks
i wonder how many politicians and union hacks will get funded by this money?
..singularity is nearer than we think (pun!)
great timing pal, just as they managed to start moving jobs back..
Cutthroat competition often manifests this way in china. Cook has his work cut out for him..
