And what if you're a teenager living with mom and dad working his first job whose labor isn't worth $15/hr? Shouldn't they be paid less? I don't see how this variable minimum wage is workable without another huge enforcement bureaucracy.
A high minimum wage will price their labor out of the market and lead to further social problems that need to be 'solved' by leftists.
I agree on many of your points, but Hillary did not get off scot free. She didn't get the job of POTUS. If there were no bathroom server scandal, I think she would have won a few more states and the election.
More Progressives clamoring for the good ole days of prohibition and bringing eugenics back to life too. Except this time, they'll try to exterminate conservatives instead of blacks.
Nothing would be better compared to a law that is incomplete, full of loopholes, vague, with little enforcement possible, and used selectively as a political tool.
But as usual you proved why Democrats and Republicans keep getting elected.
Yup, you are correct. Then on top of that we can add Civil Asset Forfeiture. Govt: We are keeping your iPhone X because it was used during a violation of the password law.
Then there will be the #1234 movement. In the future, a conservative Supreme Court nominee will get borked because of a weak password used on a device 35 years ago was in violation of the law. Some ideologically driven IT person will rat the nominee out with a letter sent to 120 year old Senator Feinstein.
I partially agree. If you've been a grocery store bag-boy for 40 years then your wages really don't go up except for inflation. But nearly all of us graduate high school and many from college and get jobs that offer more and more value to their employer and hence get better wages over time.
... you're twisting the most pointless data (uhaul, they can charge whatever they want wherever they want, has nothing to do with real statistics like the ones GP posted) to reach the most pointless conclusions.
Go bing keywords uhaul, prices, and population. You'll find dozens and dozens of news stories that use rental prices as a gauge to population migrations. Companies like uhaul charge market prices based primarily on supply and demand. Since there are fewer trucks to rent because more people use them to move away, prices go up. It's all very simple really.
And by the way, yes I do feel superior to idiots like you. I mean you don't have a clue how capitalism works and don't have the common sense to to see cause and effect when a large group of people are spending their own money in common ways.
Citation please. Who says rental vehicles have to be registered in Texas? I picked one up that was registered in CA. In any event, lets pick a different destination. Peoples Republic of San Fran to Boise ID is $3375. Boise to San Fran utopia is $646.
Ah yes, the people fleeing California trope so ever so popular on the right and in the meme-hyping media.
It's not a 'trope'. I just checked uhaul. To rent a 26' truck for six days from Austin to San Francisco costs $1150. To go from San Francisco to Austin, the same truck costs $4380. The rates are similar for other states to/from San Fran. Why do you think that is, huh? The rich love CA because they can afford it, the poor are stuck there, but the middle class is renting uhaul trucks to escape.
Google seems to waste a non trivial amount of resources kvetching about politics and SJW dogma. Maybe that's a good thing. Otherwise they'd be even more evil with their privacy slurping products.
In any event, I've finally done away with google search. duckduckgo is my primary with bing as a backup. Now I just have to move away from my gmail accounts - easier said than done.
Go back a couple of decades and you'll find studies that said climate change causes more hurricanes, climate change causes fewer hurricanes, climate change does not affect the number of hurricanes
Go back a couple of decades and you'll find studies that said climate change causes more hurricanes, climate change causes fewer hurricanes, climate change does affect the number of hurricanes, and now this one - fewer but stronger hurricanes. One of these studies will surely hit the nail on the head.
Oh and I love the use of the sentence in the summary "Hurricane Florence is moving relentlessly toward the Southeastern U.S.". You ought to be worried, it will continue to increase in intensity until it hits land as a category 9 storm. To hell with physics. This storm is gonna get you and get you real good.
Well I chose a college in a town that wasn't crazy expensive to live in, worked part time, and lived within my means. Very little debt when I finally graduated. So capitalism worked out just fine for me.
There's a reason California's housing and rental prices are high, while some other states' are so low. It's because people want to move to California, and out of those other states.
Bullshit. Prices are high because the political climate limits new housing development and lards on regulations like requiring solar panels on all new homes. As far as population changes, why don't you go look up uhaul prices in and out of the bay area. It costs much more to rent for leavers than arrivers. Gosh I wonder why.
I would love to move to CA for the weather but I can't stomach the Progressive governance and the high cost of living. Guess I'll just have to stay in my $4million, I mean $400K house in TX with 3000sq/ft, pool, acre of land, and 30 min commute to work.
Progressives come out of the woodwork to use this Scandinavian Socialism fallacy.
Lets give Prime Minister of Denmark Lars Løkke Rasmussen the podium:
I know that some people in the US associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism. Therefore I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy. The Nordic model is an expanded welfare state which provides a high level of security for its citizens, but it is also a successful market economy with much freedom to pursue your dreams and live your life as you wish.
Yup that group is in a lower caste than you. Funny thing though is that plumbers, welders, electricians, etc. can make as much or more money than you do.
Actually the scores do matter and critics do useful work.
Assuming you are talking about professional critics. Yes they earn a paycheck and pay their taxes. So that's useful to society. I almost never rely on their reviews. I think normal fans or curious viewers provide the most informative views collectively. An extreme example would be Dinesh D'Souza's last documentary. Rotten Tomatoes gives it 0% while the audience score is 90%. If you are a fan of D'Souza you'd go see it based on the audience number knowing nearly all pro reviewers are left leaning and their biases will be reflected in how they rate the movie.
I'm glad this brat is out of the gene pool too. But I don't want to be liable, as a 70 year old, for the actions of my brother or my 50 year old kid. That's a hell of a thing to have hanging over your head for which you have zero control. I'd rather have myself declared an orphan.
Echo Dot is managed by a central system dedicated to SLU. This system is not tied to individual accounts and does not maintain any personal information for any of our users, so all use currently is anonymous.
So on the 2nd day of classes it could be no longer anonymous. The Bias Response Teams will be very busy as ease-dropping SJWs make sure no one anywhere gets away with saying the n-word, using the wrong gender pronoun, or speaks positively of Trump.

CITATION. Show us where you can't bring an owned vehicle in CA that has been registered in some other state. Otherwise good day sir.

A perfectly reasonable response to the parent. I hope someone else comes along and moderates this back up from -1.

I thought the new creedo was "Fuck you. I got mine, now give the people yours".
That's more like it.

And get the government out of student loans. So when the loan is discharged in bankruptcy, the bank takes the hit instead of the taxpayer.

Read a history book will you. 6 million European Jews were murdered by the Nazis. That defines what the Nazis are. Not people who you disagree with.
