I'd rather be at the poverty line and working than unemployed because people like you decided the job shouldn't exist.
And yes, I've been in that situation. It's why I worked so hard to better myself so I wouldn't be in that situation again.
To pay every person that works enough to support a family of 4 is a great way to devalue our money and just move people in the middle class to poor. (If all 4 family members are working at Walmart, your system would have them bringing home more than a hundred grand a year which is more than my family of 6 makes yet we are living better than paycheck to paycheck.)
Starting at low skill low paying jobs is a path to build a skillset to get you out of poverty. I did these jobs and respect the people that do. It doesn't mean I think that they should pay more.
Getting rid of low skillset jobs (which is what you do when you raise the price of labor) blocks poorer people from getting the job experience to better themselves.
The idea of a "livable wage" for jobs that require almost no skills is laughable.
What difference should the skill level required to do the job make? Even jobs that require supposedly "almost no skills" can be no less demanding of a persons time and energy. If a person is willing to work hard at such a job, and presumably the job needs to be done, then why shouldn't they be entitled to a living wage doing it?
Define livable wage.
Does a married person who has kids automatically get paid more than someone single even though they are both doing the same job? If they live with their parents, do they get paid less? Do people with roommates get paid less than people that have the pay the rent themselves? If they require a special medically required diet, do we pay them more?
That would be a difference. In Texas they don't for privacy reasons. (Could be awkward for the wife to see a picture with you and someone else in a car when opening the mail.)
I'd argue it's worse. Sure a corporation can try to monetize my movements and habits but the state can throw me in jail.
We already have stop light cameras to automatically issue tickets. Now we can automatically send out traffic tickets for speeders. And, as with the stop light cameras, there is no way for you to prove you weren't the one driving the car so you are automatically guilty. Maybe we will at least see a reduction in the police force, but I doubt it.
I don't use apple anything so I can safely say I am not a fanboy.
Let's pretend that they got there based on a super good operating system, super not buggy software, and super not bending or constantly failing hardware!
It totally has nothing to do with tax evasion scams, aggressive lawsuits, patent trolling, and a mindless army of fucking morons like you to run defense.
Most of that is done fairly evenly across the phone and OS spectrum so while you don't have to pretend it isn't happing, you can mark it out as making a difference since all the big boys have that check mark for those boxes.
Most of the the programming on television is shit and not worth watching. And for the little bit of decent content that exists, even if you "cut the cord", you still have to pay out the ass for slow, shitty Internet service, due to the complete lac of competition.
Going after things like Kodi is faster, easier and cheaper than actually producing content that people would be willing to pay for.
Wow - Then drop the internet service. Money saved you can buy the physical copies on amazon, pawn shops, Goodwill, or used book stores.
I had one (the mate 9.) It really was my favorite phone.
It is difficult to root and mod but it was the first phone that I didn't feel the need to mod and root (install blocka instead.)
Plus android has made root so limiting nowadays as they detect for it and offer publishers the tools to detect if the phone is rooted or modified. I know there are workarounds like magisk but it is always a back and forth game.
I wish the Ubuntu or firefox phone had taken off and been successful.
It is hard not to be smug when you can't even hear me and just spew something about "sides" in response.
Spoiler: I wasn't taking a "side," I was pointing out the contradiction in accusing people of making a "think about the children" argument, when the topic is actually about children.
It's funny to say that when you apparently just read 1 sentence of my post. The rest of the post explained the actually problem with this.
I'd rather have the teacher's armed at schools than more perverted or bulling cops in the schools.
That doesn't mean I think they should go to jail every time there is a death due to an honest mistake. Lose their job, be sued, sure... but not jail time for doing what they though was right for the family they thought were inside the house soaking in gasoline next to their dead father.
The people who were brought involuntarily into the country as children who were shielded from inhumane deportation to a country they never knew by the prior administration.
It doesn't stop here. This is just the old "think of the children" tactic.
As soon as we agree to keep the kids but send the parents back, we hear about how we can't break up families.
It'd be a more honest discussion if the democrats where not so against the wall to at least keep out new illegals (or to at least slow down the migration.) Instead they want to do a bunch of half ass measures that the next president can easily undo. Sorry, but we aren't making the same mistake that Obama did.
That's normal. Ask Poland what happened to the missile defense programs we promised them and started under Bush. (I'll give you the answer: Obama canceled the project to be nice to the Russians.)
Don't trust the president if what he says isn't passed into law or treaty by congress.
In the article it states that the intended victim gave a false address. He's being charged as well probably for giving the false address and not warning the police.
Ok - so what's the statistic of violent black crimes versus white crimes and the ratio of that with the general population?
Big problem is that the thug life is more glamorized in minority areas since they are usually more impoverished it is the easiest way to fell like you have power and control.

Then open a business and do it.

How many family of 4s do you know? If a husband and a wife get a job at Walmart, Walmart has to pay for a family of 8?
Start your own fucking company and stop spending other people's money you cheapasss fucking douche.
It's not mocking.

Usually you have to be relatively sure there are not crazy side effects before you can start human-trials.
That would be a difference. In Texas they don't for privacy reasons. (Could be awkward for the wife to see a picture with you and someone else in a car when opening the mail.)
California has the best anti-coorpprivacy protection laws in the United States.
The state government spying for documented citizens is another matter, entirely.
There is no pro-privacy reason a digital license plate needs to have GPS built in.

It's the government saving us from evil corporations.
We don't need to know more than that.
I read this phrase here and it stuck with me.
Trump is the only Republican that could have beat Hillary. On the flipside, Hillary is the only Democrat that Trump could have beaten.
That's the one that went down and was taken over by a lawfirm, correct?
Ultimately, that's the bigger issue.

I love the smugness!
Keep it up. It's really helping your side.
Exactly! Here's hoping this destroys T-Mobile and we can go back to having 2 carriers like government intended!
I have no love loss for the police.

All the phone agents that work there should be fined too! And the janitors! I guarantee you they had as much knowledge of coding as the CEO
LOL
I'm sure more people have know what an "alexa device" is but we still managed to explain that.

Why even have more than a headline if we are going to assume everything is known?
Well if you saw it in a show...
