Fulchrum posted:I never understand why China doesn't just take out Kim and all his general's and install a government of sane people. Surely you want your proxy buffers to be quiet, not make waves, but still look threatening. America would never tolerate China in North Korea. If the US moves on NK China will respond, and if China moves on NK the US will respond. So the stalemate continues.

The free market is worried that forced market corrections will ruin it's ability to artificially keep wages low, avoid regulations, and stifle competition with monopalistic behavior.

"It's one banana, Michael, how much can it cost? Ten dollars?" I would be more than happy to pay $1.50 per lemon so that the people harvesting them made a living wage. How many loving lemons does the average person buy anyway?

Wanamingo posted:It's saying that the $15 minimum wage will kill the job market, jfc people stop being willfully dense I try to avoid the worst of the threads watching the right wing nutters for my own sanity, mostly just keeping up with USPol monthly and pretty pictures here, and so I've missed that talking point. I've probably heard that point before to be honest but my brain rejected it because it's so loving dumb on so many levels. So I'm not being willfully dense, it's honestly not a rightwing talking point I am familiar enough to remember even when it shoves itself in my face because it is so goddamned stupid. The assumption that raising wages will suddenly cause there to be less work to be done just baffles me. And the fact that people will flee from it? In the last two days I've suddenly started thinking about moving to California in a year or two once the wage increases really start kicking in.

Can we set aside for the moment the politics here and look at how badly the visual metaphor is constructed?

Maybe Lisa is so stupid that she thinks that children's lemonade stands are actually profitable, but now because of the wage "hike" lemons won't be affordable enough to sell lemonade cups for 25 cents.

Playstation 4 posted:I'm used to revanchist being the term for this, but new words are good words. Revanchism and irridentism are two different things. One wants a general revenge, the other specifically wants supposed lost territory. As in, a revanchist wants back what was lost in the war 50 years ago, the irridentist wants lands that his ethnic group has a claim to, but his country may never have held.

"The youth will flee from the state that has jobs that pay them enough to live on (but are still well below what wages would be if they kept pace with productivity)"? It guess he assumes that the youth will flee because employers will eliminate jobs since they can't keep paying their people so too little to live on. Because we're supposed to suck it up and be driven into massive debt to learn a lesson and bootstrap outselves into better jobs that pay far more than this minimum. The same minimum that they were unwilling to pay us before.

Payne is saying the same thing all the Conservatives have been saying about increased minimum wage: If you increase minimum wage, the job makers will hire less people. "Gee, I would love to hire 15 of you for $2 an hour, but thanks to Big Government making minimum wage $15 an hour, I can only afford to hire 2 of you." The youth fleeing the state is scratching out "wages" for "jobs" is saying that there are now only 15 jobs total available in the state, due to the decreased hiring.
