Things did not change. The minimum wage was set to ensure that EVERY job pays a living wage, minimum. During boom times, salaries soared and minimum wage jobs were the ones kids took. Adults worked "real" jobs that paid more. That is where that false perception comes from.
FDR made a public speech after signing the minimum wage in to law. He said:
"In my Inaugural I laid down the simple proposition that nobody is going to starve in this country. It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By "business" I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living."
And then filling those positions with low level inexperienced H1b visa workers.
My proposal- in order to get an H1b you must run an ad for 3 months on the Dept of Immigration site with your requirements. All applicants go to their review official there as well as the company. If the company cannot find a qualified applicant- and immigration agrees, then they may fill the role with an H1b applicant. However, if they cannot find an H1b applicant that meets the posted requirements, they must reeview the US applicants along with immigration BEFORE they select a less qualified H1b applicant. Any US applicants that have the same qualifications as the H1b applicant must be hired instead.
And, the real kicker- the H1b applicant must be paid the same amount they would have paid the US applicant of the same qualification. Enforced via industry standard/average salaries for the region.
Yes. Timing is the key to understanding it. Sanders would have defeated Trump easily. The timing of the releases were carefully placed so as to build suspicion with independants while not hurting her primary bid. Then once she clenched that, proof that it was a rigged primary sent a lot of independants away from the DNC to either Green, Libertarian, and even a number to Trump.
If they had released it all in the beginning, we would be swearing in Sanders tomorrow.
"Successful" is not the proper term. If he had left his inheritance alone, he would be twice as wealthy as he claims to be now. (The properties and investments, as well as market based funds would total more today) And it is likely what he claims is inflated. Literally, if he had just lived the life of a rich playboy, he would be twice as wealthy. His attempts at business have cost him half his wealth.
I would love a movie and TV Steam like source. Amazon is sort of kinda doing that with digital purchases, but it is not nearly as convenient to use or access.
"I decided to see if they stream it. The station does. Commercials before it started. Commercials again when it froze and crashed. A few repeats of that was getting pretty annoying. Miss something? Rewind a little. Commercials again. (I'm okay with some, but this was getting ridiculous.) Pause for a few minutes to deal with the 5 year old. More commercials. Then, shortly before the end, it said she had to sign up for an account to see the end. She said "f-that", and got me to tell her how it ended."
Probably the number one reason people are introduced to piracy. Fuck this, see if we can find a copy of that episode somewhere!
I "pirate" movies I own. Copy protection makes ripping them for my Plex server a PITA, and I refuse to watch them off the disk for the simple reason that: IT IS MY GODDAMN MOVIE NOW YOU RAGING FUCK-KNUCKLES. IF I WANT TO SKIP YOUR GODDAMN PREVIEWS THAT IS MY FUCKING CHOICE!
No, you have it backwards. the misinformation click sites are the ones ANGRY about this. Not the ones doing it. They have been shitting in through an open window for a while, now they are mad that the owner of the window chooses to close it.
You seem not to understand how fact checkers work. Snopes, and other fact checkers, don't go out watching speeches or such looking for something to fact check. They respond to the rumors and claims that circulate through social media. When there is such an omission, there has to be a claim circulating that the omission happened in order to fact check it. That seldom happens, thus it is seldom fact checked.
Link me to a single false article, with the evidence of why it is false. And remember- you disliking the facts does not make them false. Bias is not false, either. False is false. So all you have to do is show the evidence that proves the Snopes article wrong. Also not- evidence does not mean that it was popular with blogs and memes. Evidence means if the claim is someone said X, and there is proof that it they actually said Y- show that proof, not just repeating the claim that they said Y- official transcripts, video of them saying Y (in context), etc.
Easy to do. If they are so fake, a single false article would be easy. Time to put up.
Exactly what is happening. they know the regional licensing agreements and all that are horsepucky legacy that will die. they just have to give it lip service and minimal action to appease the dinosaurs that won't let go of them. Soon enough they will either die out or learn to adapt to new media. netflix is big enough that the content creators do not want to lose the venue.
Use the solution that Denver chose- make the HOV lanes toll as well. No pass or toll booth. Cameras cover use of the lane. One person in car- bill mailed to the owner of the car. No fine, no patrols, no enforcement on the road. Just a toll for using the HOV lane.
They are not. They are sold a bandwidth, not a data sum. they refuse to even give the bandwidth sold, much less allow you to utilize anywhere near 100% of that bandwidth.
Sell data by the GB instead of the MB/sec if you want to sell the data sum. Calling it unlimited data when sold by the width of the pipe while capping it is just false advertising.

None of those are recent jobs, nor were they back to back. but they are at the top of the resume, and reflect the experience requirements listed in the ad. It is not lying, it is not dishonest. they are real jobs, real years experience. The fact that I have worked as security admin, Dir of IT, and even truck driver during and since is irrelevant. Those positions are also listed, just further down on the resume.
Depends on what you call smart. I took work that paid less but allowed me to travel the world while I was still young enough to enjoy it. Now, at 45, I am settled down and feeding my retirement funds in earnest so when i do retire, I will be comfortable in my old age.
They demand you stop blocking ads, but never address why people block them in the first place. They are not blocked because people hate advertisements. They are blocked because the psychopaths that are drawn to marketing can't learn boundaries and simple decency. Popovers, popunders, java-blackouts, slide-overs, noise, flash that extends itself beyond the ad borders obscuring the content... all that kind of horseshit is why they got blocked.
Additional to that- the ad-lag introduced by ad servers being massively over-extended. A page that loads in a half a second takes 30 seconds because the ad is coded to load first and make the rest of the page wait on it, while the TRS-80 that is serving the 80,000,000 ad requests per nanosecond struggles to keep up. Not vetting nor reviewing ads, so malware delivery gets pushed out through otherwise trustworthy pages.
Advertisers- clean house. Unfuck yourselves and your servers. Learn how to not be a sociopath. Then your ads will be allowed through again. However, until the guy who invented blackout-popover/slider java ads is publicly crucified, then kicked in the jimmy till his eyes bleed, there will be no forgiveness. This crime against humanity must be made to suffer.

the debate questions were not part of the hack. Do try to keep up. I understand you are a trump supporter, so I will type slowly.

Or Powell and Rice each running their own servers while serving as Sec of State, which they both wiped clean upon leaving office.
Odd that the Fox fans seem unaware and uninterested in this- but Hillary doing it is literally Hitler.

The author lists many real problems, but why present this in a negative light? A perfectly reasonable and polite way to address the issue.
