Dead Reckoning posted:The typical entry level position is that guy who checks passports at the airport, and the recruiter at the last job fair I was at talked about how much he loved his job inspecting containers. I wonder if that recruiter unironically uses the Start-To-Crate review system when picking up new video games.

I'm definitely listening to the New York Post when they say the New York Times is bad  Watch the Republicans do nothing but fail to repeal Obamacare until they are voted out of office in 2018. Please?

Some of them really don't have a choice. Their base has 7 years of pure hatred and bile towards the ACA because the hard core whack job gently caress sticks they've been courting and feeding lies that while time bought into it hook, line and sinker. Not repealing the Great Satan is treasonous to them and their representatives will never survive another election if some further right poo poo head from their (R + gently caress-you) blood red gerrymandered to hell district can scream about them being a RINO traitor impure commie Muslim pinko.

Baltimore has a pretty low COL, so a $15 minimum wage is probably a bit overkill compared to Seattle or DC, where $15/hr barely gets you a cardboard box.

CommieGIR posted:Nobody in the house was an illegal immigrant. Even the son who is scheduled to appear in court on Wensday is a legal national. Illegal immigration isn't the only thing "ICE" handles. HSI is part of ICE too... and the article doesn't say what they were for, just that it was ~ICE~. People see ICE on a uniform and automatically assume immigration stuff, but they've got agents that do everything from cybercrime to financial crime to even art theft/fraud.

Fox was on in the gym today talking about the EPA regulations being canceled, and boy do they know their audience. "We all want clean water, everyone agrees about that. But these people are making millions off solar power, getting rid of the regulations will fix that. Getting rid of excess regulations won't effect important things like your water." They just frame it as "someone other tham you is making money" and they know people will happily justify shooting themselves in the foot to stop it.

Overkill based on what exactly? To date, I have not seen any solid empirical data showing employment significantly impacted by a minimum wage that's "too high". There's probably a level where that is the case (that is, the effect of decreased employment overwhelms the wage increase), but the pearl clutching from business owners keeps the debate far, far away from any such hypothetical minimum.

Genocide Tendency posted:I think someone actually did this study. I tried googling around and can't find it. Person A is given $100 and is told to divide up the money between them and Person B. They can give themselves everything and B nothing, 50/50 split, whatever they want. Person B can either accept the offer or reject it. If they accept it, both players get whatever Player A decided. If they reject it, both players get nothing. When you play it with Americans, they usually make reasonably fair offers (40-50%) and will reject offers under about 30% of the total. Or to put it another way, Americans will happily split a $100 with a stranger but will equally happily gently caress themselves out of $25 to teach a stranger a lesson about fairness. Curiously, Americans will also do this (offer the other person about 40-45% of the money) in the Dictator Game which is like the ultimatum game but the other person can't reject the offer, they just get whatever split the Dictator decides. From this towering edifices of theory were built about the universality of belief in fairness, :biotruth: about life the savanna, etc. Further research found that American's are weird as gently caress (free full text available, whole paper is super worth it) and this is not at all universal. Americans are the second most generous group of people in the world after the Sursurunga of Papua New Guinea. You might also be thinking of this (emphasis mine):  quote:To examine the generalizability of these results, which many took to be a feature of our species, Herrmann, Thoni, and Gächter conducted systematic comparable experiments among undergraduates from a diverse swath of industrialized populations (Herrmann et al. 2008). In these Public Goods Games, subjects played with the same four partners for 10 rounds and could contribute during each round to a group project. All contributions to the group project were multiplied by 1.6 and distributed equally among all partners. Players could also pay to punish other players by taking money away from them.

Fitting this pops up on the same page as minimum wage increase. NC just voted to increase and I have one friend who is a NC resident who was mad, not because of the potential rise in costs for goods, but because "lazy fast food workers are making 15 an hour now!"

Living wage for the cost of living? Which is exactly what I said in my post? The arbitrary $15 amount that a lot of people have latched on to doesn't account for the high variance in COL between localities. In NYC, $15 isn't nearly enough to live off of. In Eastern Kentucky it's probably far more than many places can realistically afford to pay their lowest level employees. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...920d_story.html psydude fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Mar 28, 2017 |

The fabled destruction of minimum wage jobs by raising the wage is horseshit: Most minimum wage jobs aren't skilled and they'd be impossible to outsource without sweeping changes to employment that would make the positions obsolete anyhow. You still need someone flipping burgers at McDonalds' whether you pay them $5 an hour or $15, and the majority of employers are going to hire just enough people to run whatever business, regardless of wage. If they halved the minimum wage tomorrow, employers wouldn't suddenly find jobs out of thin air, they'd just pocket the remainder. poo poo's actually going to hit the fan as automation increases.
