I have never worked for a company (even when I was an usher sweeping up trash at the movie theater) that did not have a very strict "do not talk to any media about the company" policy.
It's always been a very public and documented rule.
And that was working at a place with no IP or trade secrets.
The general idea is that the Bush White House was much much worse, but the dems were civil rather than forming investigative panels over it. Whereas the GOP has spent millions 'investigating' BENGHAZI! fruitlessly
Moving the country forward into another largely 'invented' scandal is the GOP way, while ironically ignoring their own.
When a (D) does something despicable, we all need to band together and discard petty things like party politics and forget that it was a (D). This despite the fact that the American Left utterly hates the opposition and says so loudly on a daily basis..
That or say it should be ignored since a "Republican did it".
I run into this with my kids all the time when they get in trouble "but she did it too". It's sad to see that a lot of people have never outgrown this mentality.
She told those lies so that by the time the real story came out, her followers would already be deep in the belief that this is all a Republican conspiracy. There is also a large portion that will be bored by the story by the time the truth comes out and wonder why we haven't moved past this. Attention spans run quite brief nowadays.
Now he has "unlimited" time, with managerial approval. His company did a trial of the policy with a limited number of employees and found that people take 30-40% less vacation time, on average, when they do not have a set amount of time off. The point of the change in policy was to make everyone think they were working for a great company while at the same time giving the employees less time off.
The other perk for companies is that employees have no vacation bank left to be paid out during layoffs.
You see, a worker with some disposable income can actually (gasp!) visit a restaurant with their family. I know, it's insulting for many conservatives to eat in the same establishment with poor proles
This blatantly shows your bias and what you think of those who think differently than you.
I am lower middle class supporting 2 kids on my income (my wife died a few years ago.)
Yes, I'm a highly paid professional (in the top US income tax bracket)
This tells me all I need to know. In other words, this won't negatively impact or your liberal friends so no reason not to do it.
Not changing the goalpost. I was just surprised that you considered moving the poor artificially into the middle class pay rage and thus bring the middle class down to the poor pay range income equality.
How is it factually wrong that this is at the expense of the middle class? I have been in the situation where I was making more than the current minimum wage. Minimum wage was increased but I didn't not get the same increase they did - but I saw all the prices for things that I liked or needed go up to make up the pay difference.
My wife was making $7.00 an hour when minimum wage was $5.15. It went to $7.75 (or whatever it is now). The raise in pay she got was to the new minimum wage.
I imagine you work in a job that has skills that cannot be taught in a week or two and are in a better position to push for a raise to adjust for the increase in cost of living. Most of us do not have that and none of the people making minimum wage have that.
She said the buck stops with her. I think there wouldn't be this backlash if her department had not flat out lies about the causes of the attack. Also, if there had been a rescue attempt, that would have made a huge difference. Instead, it was a lot of cover ups and lies.
Nixon did not break into watergate. He did not order it broken into. But he tried to tamper with evidence and cover up a crime.
And perhaps she (and Obama) should stop using the phrase "the buck stops with me" if they don't actually think they should ever face any repercussions.
Yeah, I remember all of the "type in word 45 from paragraph 7 of page 23 in the manual" the codewheels and the code sheets that were printed so lightly in order to prevent photocopying that you could barely see them.
I hated this one since I sucked (and still suck) at keeping manuals.
This stopped me from replaying Dark Sun: Shattered Lands (or avoiding those places that would result in giving me the manual challenge). That was my first open world game and go me hooked on the concept.
And this study smells like raw sewage. Check other links from this site, like bullshitty ( http://www.westernjournalism.c... ). However, the target audience of this site appears to drink this sewage with enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, Seattle's unemployment rate currently stands at 3% and is poised to drop to 2% by the end of the year. My favorite restaurant (it's in the next building from my apartment) has extended its hours to 2am.
http://ycharts.com/indicators/... The unemployment rate is going back up and has been for the past 3 months. It dropped at the same time it was dropping for the rest of the country, Raising minimum wage would have a greater negative impact in places closer to the southern border where there are a greater pool of people to pay under the table at rates below even today's minimum wage.
I have always been curious if educated people really see raising minimum wage as anything more than suckering poor people into feeling like that have more cash. When minimum wage increases, it just creates even more income inequality as the cost of living suddenly rises very quickly and all the people that were making 16 - 20 an hour are suddenly making less (well the same but that same money now has a lot less buying power as prices have just shot up on them.)
Well, acknowledging you are racist is a great start to improving yourself, Daemonik. Now you just need to work on being more tolerant and you will be happier.
Her plan would cost roughly $60 billion over 10 years, and she intends to pay for it by cutting tax breaks to the oil and gas industry.
LOL - Why doesn't she cut those tax breaks first? I guess saying that we will be paying for it by no longer funding two unfunded wars no longer works for the democrats. Now we are back to the evil oil and gas industry. Might as well as add another tax to cigarette companies. They poll even worse than big oil.
Sometimes because of ACA, though I've heard rumors that in the decades before the ACA insurance companies sometimes changed their policy offerings without Obama causing it! Seems unlikely I know...
But yeah, the ACA did change a lot of "good if you never needed them" plans. You would think that the free market would have weeded out either the shysters who offered those plans or the gullible marks who bought them, but that never seems to happen in practice.
The ACA doesn't kill insurance plans, insurance companies kill insurance plans. (Yeah, this version is just as nonsensical).
ACA does kill the plans by making them no longer affordable. When the president or his lobbyists can add new things and require them to be covered at 100%, a lot of cheaper plans that younger people would have wanted fall apart. And regardless, Obama is the one that made the claim that insurance would be cheaper once everyone was on it. That hasn't worked out at all as lots of people predicted.
Archangel Michael is correct. This was not a well intentioned plan. It was a plan designed to crash the current health system while making it look to be the fault of the evil insurance companies.
Say what you will about Obama, he is very good at making himself look like the victim being picked on by mean bullies. Name one debate where he didn't use the phrase "common sense solution" and then criticize or make fun of everyone who didn't agree with him
I agree they have no obligation. I was pointing out that hypocrisy of acting like they are green or trying to help the planet when they clearly are not - which it sounds like you agree with me on.
http://money.cnn.com/2013/05/2... "In the first quarter, Tesla sold nearly $68 million of the zero-emission credits to other automakers. That represented 12% of its overall revenue. "
So really, Telsa is not helping the climate - they are just outsourcing (selling) their percentage of climate damage to the competition. If they really cared, they would not sell or use these credits and actually help save the environment.

The democrats tried to IMPEACH Bush a number of times.
I guess this is proof that we really need to re-write laws to say "for the internet" now.

What's your point? That you want another president that will bash Bush then use his name to justify any wrongs they do ("Bush did it too!")?
Not really an endorsement for the idea of moving the country forward.

I kind of want it. But I'm a little annoyed at myself with my android phone (s6) since the latest update (T-Mobile) once again locked the bootloader.
I have forgotten that before. It makes for an awkward (and job changing) conversation.
What on earth are you replying too?
For a good review, Roger Ebert does an excellent hatchet job
Roger Ebert died. It's another reviewer using his site now.
That said, I enjoyed the movie. It was good, dumb, fun and all the references just made it cooler

The numbers are adjusted seasonally so that's already wrong info.
Greater minimum wage creates more income equality by pulling the middle class down

Not as dead as our ambassador, that's for sure.
On the flip side, if what Nixon did happened today, do you think anyone would even bat an eye? It's amazing how quickly we have lowered our standards.
I do agree that the part I quoted was not factual. That's why I refuted it.
