    Chicken or egg.

    People have to be competent enough to earn enough to have a stable life, or they are fucked and even less employable

    Fire the minimum wage twit, and pay someone competent. Then the job gets done.

    So now any level of tax below what some greenie twit says is a subsidy?

    I own a Fiat 850. It's powered by a rat (big block chevy for the eurotrash) and spins 44 inch tires on Dana 60 axles.

    They've improved their lie that much? Last time I looked they counted _taxes_ on oil based fuel as subsidies.

    You pay more for the role, you hire a more competent person, who is able to get the job done.

    The problem is people who have to accept minimum wage jobs. Their lives are typically a 'never ending parade of problems'. Which is why they are only _worth_ minimum wage, not the other way around.

    If it were a true number, no online retailer could turn a profit.

    At least not without charging the constant returners much more, which would turn into 'whack a mole' as people use prepaid cards to get lower prices.

    When your entire economy is dependant on funds extracted from oil revenue, that definition is very convenient.

    The fact remains that the Saudis _have_ to pump or die. It's worse than if the costs were actual pump costs.

    Saudi is (their claim anyhow, books are not open) the world's 'low cost producer'.

    But only if you IGNORE the obligatory government spending that is funded out of oil revenue. Once you include the price of welfare, princes and haj, they become a high cost producer.

    The real shit end for Saudi. They can't cut those costs by shutting down production. They, more or less, have to pump or die.
