Drakegrim is a retarded person. Why are you all wasting time talking to him when there's a national tragedy unfolding right now?

Rolled semi spills 14 million bees on I-5 near Lynnwood

quote:

A semitruck rolled early Friday, spilling a load of honeybees on the Interstate 5 median at the Interstate 405 interchange near Lynnwood.

Beekeepers were at the crash site within an hour of the 3:30 a.m. crash to try to round up the honeybees, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT).

As temperatures warmed and the bees became agitated, firefighters killed the bees by spraying a mixture of foam and water on the hives that hadn�t been recovered by beekeepers, said Sgt. Ben Lewis of the State Patrol.

�Everybody�s been stung,� Lewis said.

Traffic remained backed up on northbound I-5 as the accident was cleared, according to WSDOT.

When driving through the area, WSDOT advised keeping vehicle windows and vents closed.

�Lots of stinging going on,� according to WSDOT.

The semi was exiting I-405 onto northbound I-5 when the driver lost control, hit the guardrail and spilled the bee boxes, Lewis said.

Authorities are looking into whether speed was an issue in the crash, Sgt. Keith Leary said.

The truck held 458 hives holding as many as 14 million bees, Leary said. The honeybees, headed from Sunnyside, Yakima County, to a blueberry farm in Lynden, Whatcom County, were worth $92,000, he said.

Seth Thompson, of Belleville Farms, said the company was able to save some hives. It�s a huge blow for the business heading into summer, he said.

�We saved 128 hives before the sun came up and it got too nice,� he said.

The company has about 8,000 hives, Thompson said. �This is 400 of them. It�s a bad deal � a couple hundred thousand dollars for sure.�

The semi driver was not injured, according to the State Patrol. The clean up was expected to be lengthy.

14 million bees. This is one of the worst disasters I've ever seen.

Surprise, the whole country is racist. But many of those quotes are not racist, and only a racist would give them as examples of racism. For example the "typical white person" quote is only used by unabashed, flaming racists.

http://news.mcdonalds.com/press-releases/mcdonald-s-usa-announces-new-employee-benefit-package-including-wage-increase-an-nyse-mcd-1185520

McDonalds did increase to wage to Corporate employees, but you have to remember that most of the restaurants are franchised and do not fall under Corporate McDonalds. That being said, franchise restaurants usually take a 15 to 20% hit on margin profits for paying low wage employees. Increasing the wage can cause a lot of financial instability to the franchise, so they would have to raise the amount of their product being sold. if you, raised the average wage of $7.25 to $15.00 , that is almost a 100% increase. If you pay 1 dollar for a large fry and apply the same dynamics to the new cost of the fry, that would be almost $2. Would you be willing to pay for the same fry of the same consistency and quantity but at a 100% increase? The average cost of a family of a father, mother, 3 kids cost about $28. the new cost could be over $55 now. see my point?

Labor is only a fraction of business costs - fixed costs like land rent, and equipment are major expenses, as are variable costs like the actual food they sell. Also prices aren't based on solely on costs, they're based heavily on the demand curve and ultimately, maximum anticipated profit.

drakegrim posted:

also, DO NOT FORGET that min wage is also set on collage expense... If it cost 60k to graduate with a undergrad in lets say computer science.. it would cost the average person at 6.8% about $690.00 a month to pay back. No to include cost of living and all that. most people starting off in some IT job will not make much more then 15 and hour. i made 12.25 at HP as a DoD contractor, then 13.50 as a HD tech at NYTimes, and when i graduated i was making about 50k a year working Cisco support for the air force.

First of all, min wage is not set on "college expense". Wages are set by the relative power in the labor market between jobseekers and employers. The cost of college has an effect on that but it's not the largest factor.

Second of all, you're right that folks fresh out of college (or with only some college) in a lot of fields don't make a ton of money and student loans are expensive. Those are problems the Democrats are trying to solve with things like student loan reform and better wages.

haven't a lot of democrats been put to shame lately over bigotry as well..

1) "(Obama�s) a nice person, he�s very articulate this is what�s been used against him, but he couldn�t sell watermelons if it, you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic." -- Dan Rather

2) �White folks was in the caves while we [blacks] was building empires � We built pyramids before Donald Trump ever knew what architecture was � we taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it." -- Al Sharpton

3) "�Hymies.� �Hymietown.�" -- Jesse Jackson�s description of New York City while on the 1984 presidential campaign trail.

4) "A few years ago, (Barack Obama) would have been getting us coffee." -- Bill Clinton to Ted Kennedy

5) "The Israeli puppeteer travels to Washington and meets with the puppet in the White House. He then goes down Pennsylvania Avenue and meets with the puppets in Congress. The Israeli leader then 'brings back millions of dollars' in aid to Israel." -- Ralph Nader

6) "(Harry Reid) was wowed by Obama's oratorical gifts and believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama -- a 'light-skinned' African American 'with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." -- Harry Reid's comments reported by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann

7) "I do not think it is an exaggeration at all to say to my friend from West Virginia [Sen. Robert C. Byrd, a former Ku Klux Klan recruiter] that he would have been a great senator at any moment. . . . He would have been right during the great conflict of civil war in this nation." -- Former Democratic Senator Christopher Dodd (D.,Conn.)

8) �Civil rights laws were not passed to protect the rights of white men and do not apply to them.� -- Mary Frances Berry, former Chairwoman, US Commission on Civil Rights

9) "Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one�s opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness." -- Mary Frances Berry, former Chairwoman, US Commission on Civil Rights

10) �Well, because the Arabs who were involved in 9/11 cooperated with the Zionists, actually. It was a cooperation. They gave them the perfect excuse to denounce all Arabs. It�s a racist sort of thing, really racist � you know, picking out these 19 or 20 terrorists � they were terrorists � and saying all the Arabs are like them.� � Former Democratic Senator James Abourezk on Hizbullah TV

11) "Let me see one of you adopt one of those ugly black babies." -- Abortionist Ashutosh Ron Virmani

12) �There�s no great, white bigot; there�s just about 200 million little white bigots out there.� -- USA Today columnist Julienne Malveaux

13) "Them Jews aren�t going to let (Obama) talk to me. I told my baby daughter, that he�ll talk to me in five years when he�s a lame duck, or in eight years when he�s out of office. �They will not let him talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is.� -- Jeremiah Wright

14) "There�s white racist DNA running through the synapses of his or her brain tissue. They will kill their own kind, defend the enemies of their kind or anyone who is perceived to be the enemy of the milky white way of life." -- Jeremiah Wright

15) "The white man is our mortal enemy, and we cannot accept him. I will fight to see that vicious beast go down into the lake of fire prepared for him from the beginning, that he never rise again to give any innocent black man, woman or child the hell that he has delighted in pouring on us for 400 years.� -- Louis Farrakhan

16) �White people shouldn�t be allowed to vote. It�s for the good of the country and for those who�re bitter for a reason and armed because they�re scared.� -- Left-wing journalist Jonathan Valania

17) "(Joseph Lowery) said that when he was a young militant, he used to say all white folks were going to hell. ...'Then he mellowed and just said most of them were. Now, he said, he is back to where he was.�" -- The Daily Mail quotes Joseph Lowery, who gave the benediction at President Obama�s inauguration

18) "We are owned by propagandists against the Arabs. There�s no question about that. Congress, the White House, and Hollywood, Wall Street, are owned by the Zionists. No question in my opinion. They put their money where their mouth is�We�re being pushed into a wrong direction in every way." -- Helen Thomas

19) �You cannot go to a 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian Accent.� -- Joe Biden

20) �I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that�s a storybook, man.� -- Joe Biden

21) "I give interracial couples a look. Daggers. They get uncomfortable when they see me on the street." -- Spike Lee

22) �I want to go up to the closest white person and say: �You can�t understand this, it�s a black thing� and then slap him, just for my mental health.� � New York City Councilman, Charles Barron

23) "We got to do something about these Asians coming in and opening up businesses and dirty shops. They ought to go." -- Marion Barry

24) �The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn�t. But she is a typical white person�� -- Barack Obama

25) �That�s just how white folks will do you. It wasn�t merely the cruelty involved; I was learning that black people could be mean and then some. It was a particular brand of arrogance, an obtuseness in otherwise sane people that brought forth our bitter laughter. It was as if whites didn�t know that they were being cruel in the first place. Or at least thought you deserving of their scorn.� -- Barack Obama
