  3. Raising minimum wage doesnt help on Higher Minimum Wages Bring Automation and Job Losses, Study Suggests (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm old enough to remember living on minimum wage. and living through two hikes in the 90s

    the first hike we lost health insurance, the second hike we lost other benefits

    At the same time prices did go up, so it didn't help those on minimum wage, they stayed about even. The "rich" were not adversely affected by the increase, but the middle class were hurt because of the increased prices on almost everything, they didn't get an automagic raise.

  9. Re:"Goes" Digital? on Dungeons and Dragons Goes Digital (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    if you bothered to read the article instead of just the headline you would have seen that they were talking about digital tools to play the pen and paper game, with a GM and Players, not an MMO or computer game that some programmer in Silicone Valley cooked up... yeah sure you have the forge in NWN to greate your own missions, but you're still limited to the assets available to you that the programmers give you.
