TBeats posted:Bloomberg with the spiciest of takes Had one of my union brothers complain about the union supporting a 15$ minimum wage. When supporting the union on this he responded with how a higher minimum wage would depress companies shares and value etc. I was so shocked to hear that from a union member that the perfect scenario of shooting people as soon as they retired to save on pension costs didn't occur to me till later.

"I am the hardest working most genius human in the world and got this position and paycheck through hard work and I totally deserve this" No you loving douche you showed up at the right place and time and lucked into it. If I asked most union members today to sacrifice part of their pay like members did before to get us here there wouldn't be an end to the whining. The important stuff to listen for is always I or We, Sacrifice or Deserve or Mine, individual or group effort. lightpole fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Aug 8, 2017 |

Let's wax poetic about the origin of this union and the socialist sacrifices the founders and members made throughout the years and then complain anytime I am asked for the smallest thing isn't much of a rallying cry. My cynicism will be the death of me.

I have been extremely vocal and calling people out about it and there are other younger members moving or acting against that trend. It is almost 100% too little too late, there's just such a strong current against socialism of any flavor for any reason. The current view prevailing in academia is capitalism great, socialism bad, no matter the facts. Critical thinking has died. It takes strong leadership, willing and comfortable to be hated/disliked, to accept a huge sacrifice in the present for the good of the future. That kind of leadership is rarely on display today.

That Works posted:Which is weird because as a civilian scientist in academia in the hard sciences we are pretty pro socialism (all our funding depends on federal agencies). This drives me nuts and economists are full of poo poo.

psydude posted:A $15 minimum wage in the US probably won't increase prices, but it will definitely speed up adoption of automation of low-paying nonskilled labor. Economist July 8 or 15 had something on this using Seattle stuff and it wasn't terrible I think but I'm drinking in a Bremerhaven USS so I don't remember

KildarX posted:So instead of kicking the can down the road perpetually is there a reason the Government doesnt just pass a law saying, "Yo we'll spend what we spend in perpetuity." or is this the conservative "GUBMENT WORK LIKE HOUSE BILLS TOO MUCH DEBT CHINAMAN OWN US!!!!!!" bullshit They didn't have a debt limit until rather recently but I don't remember the origin. Now it's politically impossible to get rid of even though there's no real option but to increase it. The options are to increase the tax take or lower spending. Lowering spending is near impossible as very little of it is actually discretionary, Trump's budget completely guts programs and departments that actually bring value to the economy or the people. I thought most of this stuff and deficit spending was common high school economics? Used properly, deficit spending should help smooth out rough patches. Unfortunately it's usually spent on sex things that bring limited returns like fancy fighter jets or tax cuts for the wealthy instead of boring stuff like infrastructure that help to increase output or labor capital.

bird food bathtub posted:There's no point in talking to people that are so far gone they believe this poo poo. I keep a few around on Facebook to track the loving retarded talking points everyone is going to be vomiting onto the world at the exact same time in a day or two like they finally had an original thought but actually talking with them is just futile. They have chosen their reality and they will never, ever give it up. The people that post this crap on my feed won't even accept criticism of any kind toward Trump and let you know what a stupid libtard you are even if you voted R down the ballot.

LITERALLY SHAKING posted:Well, technically there's a lot of "sheepdog" breeds. Herding dogs in general, like whippets and aussie cattle dogs and a bunch of shepherds. Border collies are just the most commonly associated. I hear people call Frank a sheepdog all the time at the dog park, but it's not worth correcting. There are some big dogs bred to protect sheep from wolves and poo poo.
