I know you are being sarcastic, but if you look at technology as a solution for all humans, not just the wealthy white people, then yes, it has done the most wonderful job of lifting most humans out of poverty.
No, you're right. I was being sarcastic.
The fault is with late-stage capitalism, not technology.
If someone mentions the "gig economy" to you, that's when you should pull out a 12" frying pan and hit them in the face as hard as you can. It won't make your life better, but it's extremely satisfying.
It's messy piles of crumpled paper, mixed in with pizza boxes (+ cheese), empty Cheetos bags, and semi-empty whiskey bottles that is the real fire hazard.
I live in fear that some ransomware is going to encrypt my collection of ASCII porn, so I've been printing it out little by little on my Okidata 320. The good news is that I'm protected from ransomware, but the bad news is my house is now a serious fire hazard. Stacks of paper everywhere.
They're pretty aggressive with asking alumni for financial assistance
That's every single institution of higher education in the nation. I got my bachelor's, master's and PhD from three different joints, and there's something in my mail or email every other day.
Pretty much every powerful political, military, and business leader in Central America had ties to the drug trade in the 80s.
And Reagan had ties to them all.
So the best you can say is Reagan gave tacit approval to the CIA flooding the inner cities with crack cocaine. The documents that survived Ollie North's "shredding party" confirm this.
And never forget:
"By the end of his term, 138 Reagan administration officials had been convicted, had been indicted, or had been the subject of official investigations for official misconduct and/or criminal violations. In terms of number of officials involved, the record of his administration was the worst ever."
Yeah, I thought that too for years. But it turns out, like MK-ULTRA, the Reagain/Crack Cocaine connection is absolutely true. Documents have come to light since the 80s that prove it.
In fact, the Reagan Administration admitted to it in secret testimony to Congress.
The Reagan Administration stands as the only US administration that was ever convicted of crimes against humanity.
And that doesn't even count his domestic policies that hollowed out the middle class and started our slide into the economic inequality we have today. He dumped crack cocaine into the inner cities to fund illegal wars in Central America and turned the School of the Americas into a training center for hit squads that massacred innocent people, including Jesuit priests and nuns.
He was by far the president that did the most lasting damage to the United States of America.
but when are we going to start enforcing minimum wage law?
The current minimum wage law is a joke. There are states where the minimum wage is still $7.25 an hour.
I don't care what kind of job you have, if you're working for someone, it's worth more than $7.25 an hour. If you're the Quality Assurance supervisor at a Las Vegas strip club, your time is still worth more than $7.25 a goddamn hour.
And by the way, I'm currently seeking a position as a Quality Assurance supervisor at a Las Vegas strip club. If you know of such a position, hit me up on Linkdin. But you better be paying at least $9/hr and offer free hand sanitizer. I don't care if there's an employee lunch room on premises, because I hope to be eating out.

"Nuh-uh!"
To be fair, not all men are able to beat up their wives.
I don't need a watch to help me cheat on exams. The only exams I get now involve medical professionals. I need a watch to help me cheat on my wife.

And replaces them with mind-numbing jobs that can be done by people in third-world countries for 15% of what you're making.
Well done, technology.
Who is gmx.com and how do they make money?
If by "it" you mean the stuff that collects under the refrigerator.
Now you tell me.
My PhD is in English Literature, so I only tell females that I'm a doctor. Usually, I just give my status as "over-educated".

We may have just hit peak Google. Three stories in a row.
What the fuck are you talking about?
This article sounds exactly like the origin story of a superhero.
A stupid, Florida superhero, but superhero nonetheless.

No, they're most likely Green Party members.
You mean people who hire day laborers might be targets for abuse?
Now THAT is irony.

That is actually one of the most prominent parts of the Republican Party's platform.
I wouldn't be surprised if there were t-shirts and bumper stickers on sale at CPAC with "Expecting A Day's Work For A Day's Pay Is Socialism" on them.
