There are tons of Subway franchises that are closing nationwise amid complaints that the pricing promotions make it impossible to turn a profit. But no, it's a livable minimum wage in a dense urban area with lots of disposable income.

seiferguy posted:Seattle's minimum wage law means I can't get a mediocre sub for $5 What's ridiculous about these kinds of articles is that they claim the poor are being hurt, but at the same time the business owners are complaining that they're losing money, so which is it? Where is that mystery money going? Either your low wage employees are eating up all your profits or you're eating the costs of higher wages, it's not possible for both to be true. I miss the days when a Whopper was a dollar, now it's like 6 bucks! We should go back to paying our slaves $3.75/h!!!

"No one will buy the sandwiches because they are too expensive, meaning they'll have to fire their employees and close down the shop!" Is the line of thinking that they have.

It's getting to the point where a taco costs $5 let alone a footlong sandwich. What the hell are they thinking? I always thought the $5 footlong was a quest where you had to choose the exact sandwich and ask for a secret combination of substitutions and omissions to get it down to $5.

Shocker that people don't want to eat literal half rotted garbage even if it does cost $5.

Why would I buy a Subway sandwich when actual good sub places exist? Subway loving sucks. And of course Reason.com blames the poor for getting a slightly closer to living wage.

Also if thirst average hours worked is as low as the article said then that is not thier only job and they will get that third job to make up any missed hours or else scale back how many hours they work if they already have a third job. Either way I doubt it is hurrying them.

Subway has enough bad things about it to resort to relying on Facebook memes.

Dino Rossi and his political support are starting to harrass everyone i know locally on the phone and I find myself wondering how it is this rear end in a top hat just won't go away. He's running for Richert's seat.

I'm actually okay with Dino Rossi because he always loses. Always. It is almost performance art at this point. Edit: Heh, more like Dino Lossi.

None of the D options running are great.None are exciting but they are all very Issaquah / Sammamishie. Party out here isn't great either, they can't be bothered to show up for community events. Issaquah is fairly blue. Snoqualmie and and North Bend are transitioning to blue shockingly rapidly. Everything east of the cascades is pretty red. I think the rapid demographic changes could favor the dems. That said local stuff could matter a great deal. There is definately reaction occurring due to the influx of new residents. An example is the last Snoqualmie mayors election, which Larson (the "Ridge's" candidate) did win, but Fuzzy Flecter is an example of the local conservative reaction. It's probably very lucky that it's Dino running and not somebody better.

Yup. Romney is a rich fucker and an rear end in a top hat, but to his credit he isn't a crude slimy gently caress like Trump. Much in the same way that GWB was a horrible president, but at least he respected the office of the president and specifically said that Islam wasn't bad. It isn't a high bar, and it doesn't make them good by any stretch, but it is preferable to what is happening now.

Why? Why would Bush being a crude poo poo make the American, Afghani and Iraqi lives he took any more horrible? How does Trumps blatant racism make his deportations any worse than the record setting deportations under Obama?

Friendly reminder that strikes were only part of the drone story. Living under years of daily drone coverage, knowing missiles could be fired anytime was a huge strain, and amounts to terrorism.

Ive heard that term used by so many people on the left for things that were not fake that its becoming the left wing equivalent of "THE NWO DID IT". I said "there were fewer removals and returns under the Obama administration than each of the two prior administrations", if you read the article it explains clearly what was happening and how. The implication that Obama was sending more people back or was worse for immigrants living in this country than prior presidents is wrong. FRINGE posted:Yeah Obama was a monster, and people looking on him kindly because he was "better than Trump" is frustrating. It also sets the stage to get another warmongering banker puppet coming in. (Who will of course be articulate and 'cool'.) I agree that war is wrong and human lives are important, but I would call every president in most of our history a monster if you're looking at deaths caused by our military, we kill a lot of people all the time. Obama continued the trend but also reduced our military fatalities to next to nothing.

Only thing we can do as citizens is guide that policy and those people to do less harm. And judging by that standard, Obama was pretty solid. Not perfect by any stretch, but solid.

The answer is that much of the world is built on the exploitation of others and we'll enforce it via violence. It's good if you're not okay with it but changing one important cog in the machine isn't going to suddenly change things.
