Congressman Cantor was voted out of office for a candidate that proudly demonstated that his head was rammed further up his ass than Cantor's was; amazing.
And for a party that's so homophobic, they sure like penetrating their own asses a lot.
IQ doesnt impress me - accident of birth like big tits. Just because someone scores well on a test that was designed to find deficiencies and was NEVER inteded as a measuring stick doesn't mean they are automatically correct.
What impresses me is years of study and data. And the cliimate scientists impress me.
When the vast majority of their workers are minimum wage or close to it, I would bet the effect is not far off. Or are you asserting there are as many or more highly paid back office workers (not all of them are very highly paid) and executives as there are cashiers and floor workers at Walmart?
According to this, their top 6 execs made a total of $75.9 M for FY 2014. A minimum wage worker makes $15K. So top 6 execs make salary equivalent to over 5000 minimum wage workers.
Yes, essentially it is. He assumes that an increase in minimum wage by 50% will result in an increase in all wages by 50%. No one is promoting raising the wages of everyone.
So you're going to give the cashier a 50% raise and give nothing to their manager?
Stop moving the goalposts. The post I was responding to said that a 50% increase in minimum wage equates to a 50% increase in labor expense. It does not. As a separate issue, you could give a raise to their manager (but not necessarily 50%). And it doesn't need to go all the way up the chain to the execs!
You might think you are saving money, but it's actually a net loss for everyone if one of the ways that kid is undercutting lawn services is by not paying taxes on that income. You are only doing society a disservice by paying someone under the table instead of hiring a legally registered firm that withholds taxes for its employees.
Yeah, because at $300/wk x 26 weeks a year (lawns are not mowed year-round) is $7,800. Income tax calculator with zero exemptions (assume teen lives at home) is $151. Oh, and just because he is working for cash doesn't mean he's not paying the taxes. Legally, he should be filing anyway.
Multiple fail on your part. First, "no serious economist" is a "No True Scotsman" fallacy. Second, abolishing the minimum wage to achieve the natural price of labor would only work in an ideal world where labor is 100% fluid. Yes, one can change jobs. Realistically, details like proximity to your home get in the way.
Each panel assembly weighs 110-pounds. A single operator could load a good panel into his/her truck and respond to the scene. The panel could be swapped out and reprogrammed in a few minutes. The damaged panel would then be returned to a repair center. Think of how this compares to pot hole repair!"
Not a fair comparison. I pothole is often caused by underlying structure failing (e.g., sinking). You would still need to repair the underlying structure before you could replace the panel. Panel replacement would probably be needed in addition to traditional pothole repair.
And the racist practice of paying white people additional money for no good reason is the thing that would cut into their bottom line. Why would you hire white people and pay them more when you can hire Indians instead and make more profit?
I thought about that a lot but at the end of the day my actual total cost is around~ $.21 per KWH. It doesnt matter how that is divided between fees and actual power. My usage doesn't vary enough to make a distinction between them.
Actually, it matters quite a bit, because if you had an electric car, your per KWH rate would drop. It's called math.
Do you think in this cut throat world that a CEO isn't already exhausting every resource he can muster in order to cap the damages on a loss before saying don't give us your business?
No, I don't. It's a PR stunt to fight regulations. Also, here is a way he could lose a lot less
1) Sell me N cars for $32,650 each.
2) Buy N cars back from me for $39,650 each
3) We both profit $7K per car (him, by losing $7K less per car)
4) Rinse and repeat
Hell, we could just do it with a single car enough times for him to reach his quota!

Removing him was necessary. It was also belated, and economically motivated, but still necessary.
No it wasn't. And it certainly was necessary that the USA remove him unilaterally.
Virginia has an open primary. It wouldn't be the first time crossover voters affected the outcome.
Maybe. But you can barely get Dems to vote in non-prez years, let alone primaries in non-prez years.

Do I really need to know that an app might use the vibrator when I install it?
That really depends on where you plan to stuff your phone.
I'm sure you can get some kind of medical treatment for that
Well, that Depends.
I will punch the researchers in the face and see how evolved they are.
...IQ over 125 has anything to tell them.

Says the dude with a low IQ.

That's not his argument.
Yes, essentially it is. He assumes that an increase in minimum wage by 50% will result in an increase in all wages by 50%. No one is promoting raising the wages of everyone.
All this assumes that an increase in minimum wage of 50% results in an increase of all wages by 50%.
And therein lies the fail. We are talking about raising the minimum wage, not about raising all wages.
But your argument that raising minimum wage by 50% adds $27.5 Billion to their costs is incorrect.
Maybe you just don't understand what the word 'average' means.
Maybe you don't understand that increasing minimum wage by 50% is not equivalent to increasing the average wage by 50%.
So you're going to give the cashier a 50% raise and give nothing to their manager?

Absolute fail. You logic assumes that EVERYONE at Walmart is making minimum wage.

Time to fill up your facebook profile photos with thousands of bogus images.
Or just tag everyone in the picture as being the director of the NSA.
And some of us buy DVDs because we watch them in areas that don't have broadband.

Pro tip: racism is not logical.
Pro Tip: "Tax and spend" is a better strategy than "Don't tax, but spend" that the Republicans use.

Obama the Republican.
I thought it was a low blow when the called Obama a secret Muslim or a communist or a Kenyan, but Republican? That's just plain mean.
