Minimum wage people don't pay 30% in taxes despite what Fox News loves to claim. I know it's hard to believe but at that income level you only pay about 15% in taxes.

Oh really that's what people are taking umbrage with? I couldn't tell between the 'waaaaaaaah' and the 'lol entitled millenial bitch' posts from the first few pages. I'll grant you I didn't read the whole thread very discerningly though.


the difference is I thought about it and reached that conclusion after conversing with you fellow goons, the dude that posted "waaaaaaaaah, I'm a 25 year old English major and I moved to San Francisco because I thought it was maaagiiiicalllll" within minutes of the thread being made seemed fairly on the millenial hate train to me.

You loving idiot. I think a living wage is important and it's despicable that these massive companies stockpile their treasure and don't bother offering reasonable wages when they can build nap rooms instead. I'm not a politician so I'm not going to lay out my platform for your self righteous stupid rear end so I can have permission to make fun of some spoiled idiot getting herself into trouble. Get over yourself.

You could literally hire actors to wear the right plaid shirt/tattoo/undercut haircut etc look and write a sales pitch that proposes some tech sounding concept and get handed millions of dollars by investors.

Being in the Bay Aryuh©™® is part of that act

If you can produce an APP©©™® and or website of any sort at all, and then put on a good show with your actor "employees" looking techy enough, you can milk that for a couple years and then just fold, paying yourself x% off the top

And then do it all again citing experience

I am living in a really awful studio apt and I think I might be able to fit a bunk bed into the one closet, for which I will charge two of you $2000 dollars each, however you will not have access to the kitchen/bathroom half of the room (there is a Starbucks bathroom across the street) and will have to enter/exit using the fire escape via a plywood tunnel (that you will construct at your own expense), also I get a non-negotiable 10% of both stock and 10% of cash in case of a billion dollar miracle buyout

Hang on a second, didn't somebody mention she writes for Cracked?

Because I read this article like a week ago:

7 Things I Learned as an Accomplice to Mass Murder

quote:

We all operate under a general moral code: don't kill, don't steal, don't crash into that car just because they didn't signal before merging, blah blah blah. When someone breaks that code in an exciting way, we flock to our preferred news sources like moths to a flame to learn all the gory details, before some other crime catches our attention.

How often have you found yourself wondering what it's like to be on the other side of a sensational headline? When I was 10 years old, it happened to me. In August 2000, my mother's three best friends were arrested for the murders of five people. She was accused of providing the alibi. Looking back, this is what I learned:

quote:

July 30, 2000: Glenn, Justin, and Dawn abduct elderly Annette and Ivan Stineman and bring them back to the Helzer house. The Stinemans are then drugged and forced to write out checks to Bishop totaling $100,000. My mother's role in all this? She was responsible for the trio's alibi: receipts for us all for dinner and a movie. At first blush, that seems like the most innocuous crime ever committed, but it gets bad in a hurry.

My mother took me out that night and bought three extra adult tickets for a showing of X-Men and three extra adult meals at Denny's -- so far, the only crimes being committed are against good taste. But as my mother and I watched Professor Xavier battle his longtime frenemy, Magneto, Glenn and Justin dragged the elderly couple into the Helzer bathroom. Justin bashed Ivan's head against the tile, and Glenn slit Annette's throat with a hunting knife. While I stuffed my face with meatloaf and mashed potatoes, Glenn, Justin, and Dawn dismembered the elderly couple's bodies and tried feeding them to a pair of dogs Glenn had recently adopted. The animals refused the meal.
