In 1968 the Big Mac was sold for 49 cents and the minimum wage was $1.60.
31~% of their hourly wage.

Today, the average cost of a Big Mac in America is $4.39 and the minimum wage is $7.25
61~% of their hourly wage.

these workers sure are getting to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Well it's not confirmed at least. I have a huge nose and my grandmother who was adopted might have been jewish since she was great with money (why my family is rich actually) since her adoption was really shady and it could be that a poor family "sold" her since that happened a ton back then.

He insisted to me & my brother that he isn't a crazy Paulite and he's just buying kruegerrands because they're cool. He's a collector not a nutso investor. He asked us what a guy who collects gold is called, and without missing a beat my brother said

Skipping what I'm sure is utter nonsense

So obviously, the discussion over health care remains paramount in this country. The Democrats seek to maintain, and hope to build on, the ACA. Republicans want to repeal it, but will need a replacement for the chaos that follows. Fortunately, they have a candidate who has written and implemented a healthh care plan before, whose successes can be examined for expansion to the rest of the nation. In 2008, then speaker of the Florida House, Marco Rubio created a private insurance market for Floridians. Seven years later we can consider it fairly - ]It serves 80 people. Oh stop boo-ing. There is nothing wrong with it. Seriously though, here's a breakdown of what a cockup it was


More love has been on the Warren write up in Time, but here is one of the Notorious RBG by Antonin Scalia


Majority of Americans now kinda sorta OK with the ACA. They want to at least give it time to work. Between this and the surge in Obama's economic handling and economic optimism, its pretty clear why she is running as his 3rd term

Huck is expected to announce tonight Because Friday evening isn't when you dump something in the news cycle you hope will get buried or anything


Here is my quote of the whatever, starring Rubio

quote:

Donning protective plastic glasses, the senator marveled at the equipment in a classroom.

“That’s going through it like butter,” he said.

“It hasn’t even touched it yet,” said Chris Scales, 32, a student and a Coast Guard veteran, who was demonstrating a machine.

The GOP senate is introducing more bills but getting less support for them. And of course, introducing bills isn't passing them.

Jeb has started using W's applause lines. Begs the question of common upbringing, same policy because he thought W was right, or because they have so much staff overlap. But we won't get into that because we are still covering Beanghazi. W won't be stumping for Jeb btw Gee, I wonder why?

Jeb has suggested end of life planning as a health care reform This is a good idea! I wonder why the ACA didn't have such a provision. eh, no matter. I'm certain it will in no way be misconstrued into something radically different.

Solid Vox explainer covering the TPP and why progressives are unhappy with it Here is a chaser with more power evaluations and speculation


Most of the rest of the news today is 2016 horse-race speculation, or ongoing quibbling about the Iran deal by pundits who want to blow it up and go to war.

However, in blatant pandering to Joementum, perfidious Canuck "scientists" have announced maple syrup could help fight bacterial infections

But Walmart puts out those charity boxes asking it's customers to give canned food to it's starving workers. Where they get the cans is both close by and convenient.
