Geostomp posted: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 ourselves into better jobs that pay far more than this minimum. The same minimum that they were unwilling to pay us before. In an ideal world, the "be happy with the crumbs we deign to give you because it could be worse" would be followed by "help help I'm on fire, where did all these torches come from, ow there's a pitchfork in my rear end."

Also his mother likely made the lemonade for him, the child basically took a bunch of preprocessed swill from dollar store mix bag swill and he is trying to overcharge you by the Dixie cup while the old man picked his own fruit, got his own clean bags and is upfront with how much everything costs.

Remember that Card and Krueger literally wrote the paper on fast food restaurants affected by a raise in the minimum wage and found no effect on the jobs provided. ...in 1992. And it's been a political football ever since! I'm probably oversimplifying since I'm not a labor economist but I have never seen a convincing refutation of it.

fool_of_sound posted:Haven't the attacks in Europe been overwhelmingly homegrown too? Yep. Most, if not all of the dudes involved in the Paris attacks were born in France. The Canadian experience has been the same as well. I look at the issue this way: denying refugees a chance to flee the warzone ensures that in exchange for the relatively small number of possible deaths from terrorism in the West, we are guaranteeing that tens, if not hundreds of thousands will die of famine, disease and war. I'd rather not have that on my conscience, personally.

Women? In combat? With all their hormones and emotions and babies and such? SOFREP posted:Has the recent decision to allow women in combat roles and special operations created an unintentional animosity toward women in the military, not just toward those seeking those roles? The majority of women never asked to be in, nor do we want to be in, combat roles such as infantry or special operations. Yet now, because of the decision to push women into these roles, it almost feels as if we have to validate and defend ourselves for being in the military all over again. Thank you, Mr White Male Reality. Pener Kropoopkin posted:Also, when did Trump's stumpy little snausage fingers get meme'd as small hands? When we discovered that he's really loving insecure about them. Graydon Carter in Vanity Fair posted:Just to drive him a little bit crazy, I took to referring to him as a “short-fingered vulgarian” in the pages of Spy magazine. That was more than a quarter of a century ago. To this day, I receive the occasional envelope from Trump. There is always a photo of him—generally a tear sheet from a magazine. On all of them he has circled his hand in gold Sharpie in a valiant effort to highlight the length of his fingers. I almost feel sorry for the poor fellow because, to me, the fingers still look abnormally stubby. The most recent offering arrived earlier this year, before his decision to go after the Republican presidential nomination. Like the other packages, this one included a circled hand and the words, also written in gold Sharpie: “See, not so short!” I sent the picture back by return mail with a note attached, saying, “Actually, quite short.” Which I can only assume gave him fits.

I think despite the SPY-citing going on, PK has a point -- Graydon Carter called Trump a "short-fingered vulgarian" not "baby hands man." Short-fingered does not mean proportionally tiny hands. It's a big meaty palm with tater-tots attached. (But I'm a Campbell Soup Kid-faced stupid newbie so what do I know.)

the_steve posted:Payne is saying the same thing all the Conservatives have been saying about increased minimum wage: It does baffle me that their voters can't take two minutes to realize that having a job that pays too little to live on is effectively worse than being unemployed as doing it only makes the employee lose money and become trapped in debt. Hiring more people for terrible wages benefits no one but the already rich employer. I know that the average republican voter has been trained to avoid critical thinking, but you'd think people would at least recognize the situation that is costing them all their money no matter how hard they try to save. Is the appeal of "kids these days" and ego boost of being told what good little workers they are for not complaining is just that tempting? Hitler B.

That woman is giving it her all and proving she can handle everything thrown at her, and is proving she has what it takes to be in a combat role or special operations. It's a hard fight, and that pack is heavy indeed (that's an extra 170-odd pounds of Secretary Carter on her back) but she's continuing on because she has the determination and the will to make it though. A great loving cartoon.  Seriously, that is a look of pure determination on her face.

Hiring more people for terrible wages benefits no one but the already rich employer. The biggest problem is, and it's been pointed out by much better speakers than me long before, is that they refuse to recognize that the times have changed. For example: My uncle worked his way through law school by doing landscaping jobs. In his mind, this is still a perfectly viable thing to do, you just have to be willing to do the work. He doesn't want to take into account the countless increased costs of everything, because then he has to admit that it isn't simply a problem caused by young folks being too lazy to walk to the Job Store and just grab one of the ones they're handing out.

I'm glad Canadians (not me because I don't have voting rights yet as an immigrant) got Harper out, but I would have preferred a NDP in government or keeping strong. Preferably in opposition with the Liberals or having the Liberals in opposition. Fingers crossed Trudeau removes FPTP and replaces it with STV.
