  1. Re:To kill fewer children. on Trump Endorses Permanent Daylight Savings Time (thehill.com) · · Score: 2

    Have you talked to a kid lately? They're idiots. They need more school, not less.

  2. Re:Hmm...I just can't think of an example... on Record Number of Americans See Climate Change As a Current Threat (axios.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Well....yeah. If cancer isn't affecting me directly, it's not a problem for me. Why should I care if other people have cancer? Same as climate change. So far it isn't directly impacting my life in any way that matters, so I don't care about it.

    He can build a tunnel under it that his cars can drive through.

  4. Exactly. Being in my 40s, I'm only concerned with the next 40-50 years or so (assuming I live that long). Everything after that is no longer my problem.

  5. Re:How about a living wage instead? on Walmart Offers To Foot College Tuition Bills for US Employees (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    Walmart's starting hourly wage is $11/hr. If both mom and dad are working 60 hr work weeks, they're making almost $70,000/yr combined. There are a lot of places in the US where making that much is not living paycheck to paycheck.

  6. Re:A loss for children. Adults, not so much. on Toys R Us To Close All 800 of Its US Stores (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    I remember the Sears Christmas catalog. We would wait all year for it. Our xmas lists would consist of page number, item number and item description. It was great.

    It's sort of sad, now my nieces and nephews just want money so they can buy their own things.

  7. Your link is showing SALES, not production. According to the article, "Tesla said in October that it produced only 260 vehicles, well below its target of 1,500"

  8. No, the constitution gives Americans the RIGHT to bear arms, while the nation's and state's laws let us know WHICH arms we can bear. While laws can and do regulate arms usage and legality, they cannot take away the RIGHT to bear arms.

    If you want to abolish the RIGHT to bear arms, that's a constitutional amendment. Good luck with that.

    You forgot:

    "Doesn't this look huge in your hand?"
    "Open your eyes, boy, I'm about to finish on your face!"

    Only if the father was a priest.

  10. Re: Not News for Nerds on Chicago To Make Future Plans a Graduation Requirement (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    "Students will soon have to show that they've secured a job or received a letter of acceptance to college, a trade apprenticeship, a gap year program or the military in order to graduate," - sounds like you have to a least begin to execute the plan by showing proof. That's more than just a plan.

  11. Re:Pulling out on Trump Is Pulling US Out of Paris Climate Deal: Sources (axios.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    I would recommend never putting it into Paris to begin with.

  12. Re:Here come the liberal cry babies.... on Net Neutrality Goes Down in Flames as FCC Votes To Kill Title II Rules (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It's like the Mexicans who voted for DT and are now facing deportation even though they were the "good hombres" (hard working people, just not american citizens).

    If they aren't citizens, then they couldn't vote....

    Don't worry, Richard Hendricks from Pied Piper is working on a new internet.

  14. Wait.....you're supposed to leave hookers alive when you're done with them?!?

  15. Re:Wow! Part time employees! on Amazon Looks to Hire 30,000 Part-Time Employees in US (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    If you read the article, it also says this:

    "The 30,000 hiring spree Amazon announced on Thursday follows the company's announcement in January that it plans to hire 100,000 full-time employees by the middle of next year"

  16. Re: Part time, not full time on Amazon Looks to Hire 30,000 Part-Time Employees in US (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    You know the article says that these part time employees will receive benefits, right? Now, what benefits, I have no idea, but benefits usually mean some kind of health insurance, retirement, and the like.

    Isn't the whole line of AmazonBasics their branded products? https://www.amazon.com/b/?node...

    The difference is you have to walk into a Walmart with all the other Walmart people there.
