Duke Igthorn posted:So my pignorant sister posted this thread star: Sigh. I went to Jefferson County schools when Columbine happened. All Jeffco high schools did at that time, and still do, have a fully armed "student resource officer" on campus whenever the students are. It DOES help to have an officer there to deal with the real day to day stuff that can happen in a building with 2000 teenagers (marijuana, vandalism, fistfights, kids having someone to go to if they're getting beaten up at home). But it didn't, doesn't, and never will stop a mass shooting.

Why don't Americans understand that something doesn't need to be specifically mentioned in the constitution to be part of the law? They have it totally backwards, too, because one of the big parts of the constitution is that your rights aren't limited to what's in it. Which I doubt I need to say, here, but what the gently caress. I guess it wasn't a very large part of my High School history classes but it was still mentioned.

Of course, at that point the labor shortage should have meant that everyone had to work harder to make sure the work gets done, but that didn't happen. I'm not going to argue that it is a good graph (its LL101), but I find that believing that everyone is just like you and wants to do things is a bit optimistic.

I'm not going to argue that it is a good graph (its LL101), but I find that believing that everyone is just like you and wants to do things is a bit optimistic. Yeah, I'll agree it's optimistic to believe that everyone wants to work hard and leave their mark on the world, but at the same time in your example I'd put more emphasis on the oppressive regime that made the individual worker feel worthless with no chance of advancement being the reason why people put in the bare minimum of effort. The fact that they had all these social safety nets in place is good for them, but even without them in that kind of situation I'd imagine low effort being the norm. Case in point, I used to work as a supervisor for a private security firm that, surprise-surprise, treated its employees like dirt and underpaid them. Most of them put in the absolute barest minimum of effort because putting in extra effort barely got them a pat on the back and was 99% of the time superfluous anyways. There's nowhere near the safety nets in this country, and yet I saw the same behaviors you are attributing to safety nets. And of course my bosses couldn't fathom the fact that people were being layabouts when they were asked to do a job that should've paid them double what it did, treated them like children, and when myself and another of the supervisors left, they hired from outside the company instead of promoting someone from within and finding a new entry-level person to fill the old position. Edit: I am just super mad at LL101 for going off on "those lazy good-for-nothings" when a lot of that kind of behavior is due to getting poo poo on by higher-ups, and that saying the only time people will be productive is imminent threat of starvation. From my experiences it just rubs me the wrong way. inkblot fucked around with this message at 02:19 on May 11, 2014 |

I'm not an economist by any means, but I can't help but ask: If everyone made a minimum income, and then people who had a job had income from that on top of it, wouldn't people who worked still be better off? (As if that matters) and so people who don't want to "work" for a living get just that: a living. People who want more than that (luxury) get jobs. Plus, the fact that they're at work at all shows they are willing and able to perform their task. And then, if you balance the taxes so most of that subsidization for the poor comes from the very highest earners, there would be practically no reason for the people with crappier jobs to grumble about the people who just use their government stipend to live. That's the system I imagine, and I don't understand why anyone would begrudge another person basic existence as long as they can have better stuff, whenever they want it and the person sitting on their rear end, uh, can't. I know it's unworkable, but it only seems unworkable because of people's preconceptions of justice and "how the world works".
