Evil Fluffy posted:So with Ted's announcement and the others soon to follow, when will GOP primary season officially be in full swing, May? June? Im pretty sure that depends on when everybody's book comes out, no need to fake run until there's money in it. edit: serious answer, basically whenever Jeb announces will be the beginning and end of GOP primary season, everything outside that is delusion / self promotion.

Sir Tonk posted:This might be one of the most important things he's done, as far as my life is concerned (I already have free healthcare). Changing this is going to fundamentally alter how just about every chain business operates, assuming the DoL doesn't leave in a ton of loopholes or whatever. Actually the graphic shows the disconnect between these assholes and reality, their argument is that if they aren't able to exploit managers for more than "100%" of their day it will increase costs. Which seems reasonable to them since exploitation has become common practice but you dont see any upper management members taking on jobs and increasing their roles past "100%" of their work day just to reduce costs to the end customer. As soon as the Applebees CEO starts running janitorial and busing tables after expanding his hours to 12-14 a day in the name of reducing costs to the customer Ill buy this bullshit argument. Any sane business sees a role that is taking disproportionately more time than other roles and assigns additional labor to it counting it as a normal cost of business. These pricks go the opposite route and want to exploit a single person as much as they can so that money can be applied to, and they expect us to believe this, the customer and not the company gross. Corporate america is lucky I don't have the ability to detonate heads remotely using the power of my brain because I wish nothing but bad things on these pricks. ed: For those of you counting at home that brings the people I would give remote aneurysms up quite a bit from Meter maids (and probably 90% of all active police to go with that), the TSA and just to lump in probably a good part of the political apparatus.

Xibanya posted:I posted this in the last thread but it was buried under a sea of dorks telling boring 9/11 stories. The disturbing part is that we will never ever build protections in against ultra wealthy douchebags treating the entire country as their own personal ant farm. Our entire political system is structured in a way that assumes that monetary corruption can not be limitless in scope, the founders just assumed that no one could consolidate that much influence. There is no recourse against the Koch brothers, they can do literally anything they want and they are above punitive damages. As far as the political landscape and thus the landscape of the U.S. is concerned they are god.

haveblue posted:I agree, their influence over President Romney has been a disaster for this country. The Koch brothers prefer to do their damage at the county level and obstruction at the federal level. crap like this: quote:The Colorado chapter of Americans for Prosperity is running television ads to support candidates who will continue the district's current path. AFP is an advocacy group founded by billionaire David Koch that has Tea Party ties. Koch and his brother Charles, co-owners of Koch Industries, have been major contributors to the organization. Is happening all over the country this very second. Stow the sarcasm man its a problem.

CommieGIR posted:Chic Fil A still largely caved (or spent more timing hiding its donations to groups like the AFA and others) publicly. The damage is already done there, they limited their franchise expansion opportunities in quite a few areas with that crap which is long term death for a chain like that. Its going to take long enough to affect them and they are doing well enough right now that most people probably wont associate the two but I would be surprised in 20 years if that is a brand that still exists in any capacity more than say White Castle.

This seems familiar Fried Chicken posted:We had 100+ years of "no colored allowed" signs being fine and dandy, I don't see posting a "no gays allowed" sign having any more of an impact. Woolworths isn't doing too hot today and they got their fair share of spite shoppers back in the day. Fun Fact, if you buy shoes from Foot Locker you're supporting a legacy of racism. Neat.

ReidRansom posted:Yelp activism is pretty stupid. Bigots having to fear for the impact to their wallet is funny. Not that Memories Pizza is going to be seeing a dropoff in the surely massive* tide of tourism money they were receiving in whatever hole they sell grease, 3/4 of the people spamming that yelp wont even remember the name of that place in a week. Hell, I cant remember the name of that bakery that was poo poo talking the administration and had the same thing happen and that got a ton of play. For all I know I could unknowingly buy a muffin there tomorrow, I dont even remember where the stupid thing was. *ha

Fried Chicken posted:So the MAC won't be playing in Indianapolis This is why even Jan Brewer was smart enough to kill this crap in its infancy. Even if they back down now there is going to be billions of damages long term, bigots may be happy to shove chicken sandwiches in their faces but they don't have the monetary capital to enact the kind of destruction that you see when corporate sponsors are worried about having to put their PR people out there. Easier to relocate conferences, games, whatever rather than risk your bottom dollar.

RevKrule posted:I just don't understand this. If the bill is just a reproduction of the federal law, why pass it anyway? Don't local laws just inherit the laws above them if there's nothing set? This is what it looks like when the roaches flee for the dark enclave under the refrigerator when the light comes on. He needs a reason for the bill to exist in the first place and it cant be the same reason it exits in Indiana (even though it is) so blame the Feds and hide behind the Feds at the same time and hope no one says anything.

A Winner is Jew posted:The majority of liberal white people still don't really like black people, it's just that they realize you can't treat them like second class citizens. I mean really, how many liberal white people that you know would be totally cool living in a black neighborhood, or having a black family move in next to them? I can say that Harlem is gentrifying but its mostly other minorities and French people that cant afford to live under 100th rather than american born cookie cutter liberal white folks. There's a small subset of white people that have moved in from other states that realize that rent control knows no skin color and live like kings (Im totally a reverse carpetbagger) but yeah in general the typical liberals are terrified of being up here and cluster together in Brooklyn but not that side of Brooklyn. Racism is alive and well in very political ideology, self awareness or at least the desire to offset their own horrific views with government programs is about the only difference.

Accretionist posted:One of American politics' greatest ironies. It's ridiculous. You can't reduce teen pregnancies by telling kids contraception doesn't work. That's some white-is-black, up-is-down level batshittery. Its also the worst sales pitch ever. You have 2 options to try to sell to these horny little bastards. a. Never have sex even though you want to 24/7 and will spend the next few years thinking of nothing else b. Have lots of sex, go for it, its fun and just do it, all you have to do is wear this one incredibly cheap and easy to procure thing, it fits in your wallet if you want. I wonder which will be more effective

Freakazoid_ posted:I'd like to see what life is like for regular millionaires and their families vs lottery winners, I bet there's quite a bit of overlap. Regular millionaires blow money just as stupidly but have built in mechanisms already in place to replenish their bank account after the impulse second wine cellar. Until they dont, and then they become po folks and their money filters up into the highest income brackets instead. Eventually like 100 people have all the money, we get sick of it and kill them once the problem has become quantifiable enough to count the number of targets on the back of a public school education and we can start anew.

Quidam Viator posted:douchecanoe. This seems wildy impractical, the concave surface where you sit would just encourage liquids to spray every witch way, diluting the entire effect of the concentrated stream of cleanliness. I mean, its not like you're going to pack little people into your douche, why would you make this design change? Or to the opposite, why would you make an entire canoe out of a douche, nothing about the design is even the slightest bit seaworthy, we have plenty of reliable seaworthy designs already. Maybe like.. a douche pontoon? But Canoe? Seriously now, this is just horrible planning.
