Because not all women exist in families with two earners and one budget.

I used to use Uber Pool almost every day because it was about the same price as the train but took half the time. For those who don’t know, regular Pool picks you up where you are and drops you off at the exact address you choose, and does the same for other passengers along the way. Then Uber introduced Uber

As gun owners constantly kvetched to Obama, “Why should ‘good’ gun owners have to give up their guns?” and here’s your honest truth: because society treats every gun owner as a ‘good’ gun owner up until the moment they start murdering everybody.

How about the rationale of how Trump mocked a man who was a POW for 5 and a half years by saying that he, and by extension, all POW’s were a bunch of losers?

He’s not, which is why they shouldn’t have tried to defuse it. If anything, they should have doubled down and highlighted the fact that he wants to take healthcare away from poor people and treat women like livestock.

They should also refrain from making jokes about loggers, linemen, agricultural works, construction workers, fishermen, pilots, electricians, and all the other jobs more dangerous than the military which also do not serve to expand the US’s military and economic hegemony.

Kinda hard when they have to shed their skin ever so often.

It seems like everyday we are deluged with ample evidence that that whole “snowflake” thing is serious projection.

Here’s a venn diagram showing the overlap of Republicans who were outraged over Davidson’s joke to the number of Republicans who thought it was absolutely hilarious when Trump imitated a physically disabled reporter:

The whole thing is so inane; maybe public figures should grow some thicker skin.

Counterpoint: They ably defused something that blew up in their face and delivered a message of unity. I only wish that Crenshaw was likely to be sincere about his message of unity. 

This story blows holes through the position the NRA takes after every such incident. (Dana Loesch’s tirade on mental health in 3, 2, 1...)

I can see the concern for a monopolistic situation (or similar) of MillerCoors “eliminating competition,” but it’s weird to basically force them to brew Pabst beer.

Or a restaurant can be free to charge whatever it wants for menu items, and customers can choose to not do business with them if they want. 

The orderer ordered a cheeseburger; it says so right there at the top: “1 x cheeseburger”. He/she just deleted options from it. That he/she ended up paying a dollar for a piece of cheese is a self-own, but I guess it was ‘worth it for the ‘gram’ or something like that.

I tip at fast food places. They earn it. Don’t know why they don’t put out a jar. See also: Laundry, Jiffy Lube, and anywhere else waged employees provide service.

Because minimum wage is the gold standard? Most baristas are doing a lot more than just pouring coffee. They're cleaning the bar, keeping up with dishes, maintaining the espresso machine, brewing coffee, and a variety of other tasks depending on the cafe. In a high volume location this can be incredibly stressful, and

As a barista, I typically don’t mind making coffee for distant coworkers, but if you have a drink that’s complicated, you’re coming by when it’s busy, you’re not working that day, or you get anything more than a drip coffee on a regular basis, you should leave a tip at least occasionally

I would agree with this statement in states that pay servers minimum wage, but many servers get “server wage” assuming they will get tips. I tip when I go out yes, but I don’t tip at every service counter every time I order something just because every credit card receipt has a “tip” area in it.

I make my own coffee at home in the morning, but sometimes I want a cup in the middle of my workday and I can’t run home and make it. In those instances, I must ~gasp~ purchase coffee*. And since I can’t justify paying $2 or more dollars for hot bean water that cost pennies to make, I usually ask for something fancy
