Hey what is Sander's stance re: Inflation? Because we are going to get Inflation right about the same time the Republicans agree to raise the minimum to $15/hr so Trump looks like he's keeping working class promises (and because they know inflation is coming, in a big way). Inflation is going to make $15/hr irrelevant, though. Bernie is going to get screwed here, along with the working class. Any min wage increase enacted over the next four year must be pegged to inflation or it will be meaningless. Fat-Lip-Sum-41.mp3 has issued a correction as of 18:24 on Nov 18, 2016 |

tower time posted:Hell, a huge part of labor I don't see anyone mention often unpaid internships. They drive down the price of labor, primarily benefit people who are already well-off enough to be able to work for long periods without pay, and have otherwise eliminated a lot of entry level positions at large companies. Move the Democrats toward banning unpaid internships in any for-profit situation and I bet that would motivate voters in the 18-30 range just as much as forgiveness of college debt. What did the most recent ban on unpaid internships get? Just the concept that the internship has to be "educational" in order for it to be unpaid? While we're on young people, I'd love to see a national cap on how college coaches can be compensated and pay college athletes at least work-study wages (outside of banning college sports other than for club sports reasons, but that will never happen).

If the dems want their message to be popular they probably shouldn't choose unrepentant child molesters to deliver it  if she were actually legally or morally culpable, her lawyers wouldn't have let her publish it. the fact that she didn't realize that actually writing that was going to be unpopular is why she's hard to like

tadashi posted:This is certainly problem #1. It sounds cliche to talk about the bourgeois but it's a very real problem and people get class envy where they want to look like and sound like their financial superiors even while they're burying themselves in a lifetime of debt and loving over their childrens' financial security in the future. Memes & media. I'm serious. You have to culturally confront people with their own servile position in an oppressive hierarchy. Then, more than that, you have to offer them a way out into a better future.

Mike Pompeo for CIA? Sure sounds great...quote:Congress should pass a law re-establishing collection of all metadata, and combining it with publicly available financial and lifestyle information into a comprehensive, searchable database. Legal and bureaucratic impediments to surveillance should be removed. That includes Presidential Policy Directive-28, which bestows privacy rights on foreigners and imposes burdensome requirements to justify data collection. http://www.wsj.com/articles/time-for-a-rigorous-national-debate-about-surveillance-1451856106 I mean, could be worse and be the NSA pick I guess? On the other hands he wants due process for Snowden, so that's cool: quote:"He should be brought back from Russia and given due process, and I think the proper outcome would be that he would be given a death sentence," he said. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/lawmaker-traitor-snowden-deserves-death-penalty/article/2583023 Oh uh, due process with his predetermined conclusion. Cool. Sure is comforting how little the democrats did to reel in the surveillance state..

tadashi posted:What did the most recent ban on unpaid internships get? Just the concept that the internship has to be "educational" in order for it to be unpaid? Ok now this thread is starting to move into my domain. NCAA sports is a really good thing that has been corrupted by advertising money, club sports have a different goal. NCAA sports should be about demanding excellence from student-athletes and focused on teaching them life lessons. It's different than the classroom, emotions are higher and teamwork is really emphasized. Right now, the Division I level is focused on generating more ad revenue and everything else is taking a back seat, which is a shame. At the Division III level (non-scholarship), NCAA sports still work really well and provide a great opportunity to grow for tons of students. So I'd agree with you about pay caps and compensation for student-athletes, but would totally fight you tooth and nail on banning sports other than club sports.

Yeah, I plan to start attending meetings as soon as I am able. My father just had a hip replaced and needs to be watched at all times. For the moment I am limited to calling offices and stuff. The last time I really went to a meeting to argue with the local dems was when the city council got the genius idea to buy a casino.

Banks don't need unpaid employees.

A minimum wage increase will always increase the purchasing power of laborers.
