His point was true in the 1990's when there was effectively full employment. Those days are long gone. There is very little competition for labour now as there is no labour shortage. There is a labour surplus and a jobs shortage. The only place in North America that pays unskilled labour above the minimum wage is…

Minimum wage hikes have never done that... the most direct result of raising the minimum wage has always been a total reduction in work hours. Companies especially small business just find a way to do with less as profit margins are quite small in most enterprises as is.

1) There are three types of taxes consumption (which doesn't exist at the federal level) personal income taxes, and corporate taxes.

probably 9.99 same as on PSN.

FF VI and Tales of Hearts R (Japan only sadly) for iOS both on the same day nice!

I like the Japanese title Drag On Dragoon.

I have a feeling they're part of the 83% of the Government that is still getting funded...

So one of the games they're giving away (Tropico) from the cover lets you be a Fidel Castro type and another game lets you be the complete antithesis to him a good hard working Capitalist. Good game pack.

It'll be a good idea to hold onto a PS3 for a while longer Japanese developers are notorious for sticking with older consoles longer then Western devs. I mean just look at Atlus they released Persona 4 like 18 months into the PS3 life cycle. I expect there to be a steady stream of games from Japan for the next two…

Really?!? The one major question I have is the composer for Nier doing the music the trailers gave me hope but this is awesome. The Nier soundtrack is still on my iTunes playlist to this day.

It's such a niche game even people who think they know "weird" games dont know it. I mean I know gamers who think Shin Megami Tensei games are "japanese weird".

Nier is sunny and bright compared to the mainline Drakengard series. Drakengard 3 looks like a return to form.

The games have not aged amazingly well in the intervening years from a technical standpoint especially the first one. As for the Storyline its talked about because it's so damn weird. It one of the first real niche Japanese titles to make it's way over intact so that could be a major reason people remember it really…

It's a prequel I didn't know that. However more Drakengard is always good. Hope they keep the composer from Nier that was fantastic.

If it exists there will be porn of it. Rules of the Internet must be followed. Until it violates Godwin's Law then we must stop.

Well the Tea Party is not only a result of Obama its also a result of the Bush/McCain wing. That's the thing Bush left office with about a 33% approval rating Obama is hovering around 45% right now. Why the difference? Partisan bases. Bush lost Republicans; he had only a 60% approval among Republicans with 30%…

Sometimes shock therapy is needed. Beyond that it's quite possibly to prioritize paying creditors. It's simple the US Government needs to start acting like responsible adults and what do responsible adults do when faced with mounting credit card debt in the real world? Well they certainly don't take out another…

That's even worse... Bond issuance should go to vital needs I mean its a direct taxation of the population. Honestly the entire state has a spending problem hence the IOU's and its administrators and councils that think spending millions on iPad's when cheaper Android tablets would work just as well or better yet use…

So was debt default in 06 GOOD or BAD? Simple question...

The ability to stream PC Games is kind of cool, however all these small Android boxes are getting annoying. Does anyone really want them that badly?
