No, I work in IT. I eliminate paper, and jobs.

Man, really, I didn’t graduate? They said I did, they even gave me the robe and papers and everything. You mean those 2 baccalaureate of science that are in a box in my closet aren’t real? Well I hope no one pulls my transcript then.

And reading wasn’t yours. I said “If you want to make....” Some people don’t really want to work hard enough to make that. So they will settle for less.

Cut rates and taxes then watch as all those jobs that depend on government contracts/fundings start laying people off. 

lol. ok.

No that day is not approaching. It’s as silly as my facetious argument to pay all the low/no skilled people $100 an hour. Even historically speaking societies as comfortable as ours is in general do not break out the “guillotines” and start revolutions. And revolutions generally only hurt the poor anyway because they…

What kind of ‘accounting’ do you want for those things? Will the cost of living go up, certainly. As far as a barrier to entry that is a college degree? Most jobs in trade do not require a degree, but you will need to manage to get into trade school. I work daily with journeymen that make more than I do that do not…

I thought everyone would want to be a millionaire. I guess we could pay these no skill people less than millionaire wages. Why do you hate the poor so much that you don’t want them to be millionaires?

Yes it does matter. If a teenager can do the job, like we both did. Then it’s not a job with enough required skills to pay enough to support a family. Adults making poor choices or those that failed to gain enough skills to do more than flip burgers are going to have a hard life.

It’s pretty simple. A person develops the skills to be worth whatever they think they need. If you want to make 100K a year, you figure out what jobs pay that, what skills are needed and you work on developing them. In the meantime you work a lower level job which aids in developing those skills. We used to call it…

You’re a burden on our country. My taxes support you. 

Also the irony is that most of these types jobs are paying better than $10 an hour already. So about the time any law raising the minimum wage to $15 would happen, the prevailing wage will already be at $15 due to inflation and labor shortages. And with Automation coming hard for these jobs, as shown by McDonalds…

In the heartland there are people making $12/hr who are against $15/hr minimum wage because they feel superior to those making $8 and are afraid of wage differences tightening once laws are in effect.

Why stop at $15 and hour for low/no skill work. We can simply print money, let’smake it $50 an hour, no $100 an hour. Then in less than 5 years, every burger flipper and fry guy could be a millionaire. Then every stockboy and cashier would easily be out of poverty and on their way to a comfortable retirement all with…

Let me be clear here: I am not against this, and I honestly want to be shown why my fears are unfounded. I just don’t see how we do this hike without seeing everything else rise, as well—and that leaves the folks fighting for fifteen at the same place they were in before the wage rose, doesn’t it?

As I see it, the primary beneficiary of that USC degree (in . . . um . . .”Studied at USC” or “General Studies”

They’re great coaches (especially if they’re coaching your team) but to neutrals? I just remember the MSU-Wisconsin Final 4 game in 2000 being 18-16 at halftime.

“Exactly!!!”

I should clarify, Tom MaGee looks like Dave Meltzer on “Ultimate Warrior” steroids.
