Is losing representing all workers really a hit to unions? It seemed to me that FDR gave them the right to tax workers along with the duty to represent all of them. They just lost the right to tax them, so it seems only fair that they can only negotiate on behalf of their members. I don’t even know why they would WANT…

Are loggers really incredibly hostile to women? More than lawyers or doctors or Hollywood people or non-profit people? It doesn’t seem very likely to me...
And honestly the US produces more oil than Saudi Arabia, I doubt we actually benefit from high energy prices, but I bet we hurt a lot less than some places.
It looks like firefighters and teachers are paid 2-3x staffers, so that does sound pretty rough to me actually. Congress should be able to afford to pay for staff. Hard to draw the line on how much staff they need though, and they will want to prefer more and cheaper labor...
I would imagine saying that men don’t think about clothes or hygiene. Male actors particularly.
It doesn’t sound better than a UBI to me, if people will get a living wage if they don’t work, but still only a living wage if they work you kind of get a tragedy of the commons situation where people who work over the table feel like chumps. And when people say living wage it always sounds intentionally vague, like…
Why do you want to believe this woman is pretty intelligent? This seems like clearly stupid and ignorant behavior, do you think she was acting intelligently and reasonably? What could her plan possibly have been?
I think they are private schools, just not the prestigious ones that can charge 50k a year. You don’t get the stadiums or the huge (tax exempt) campus or hundreds of thousands of dollars for speakers, but you can get a room and a couple decent teachers for 5k per kid. I mean in this case they probably define decent as…
I thought it was funny, and she has a sense of humor. Maybe I am wrong but I bet she can tell agreeable jokes from mean trolling, which she clearly gets plenty of...
Better to shoot your was early than get cancelled though, they made bank for a long time.
Agreed, teaching people how to behave is what school should do.
Eh, some people pay taxes... Loopholes are bad but if they are a constant than they shouldn't effect the decision of what to tax.
Streamline nuclear regulations if it is safe to do so, but nuclear power isn't price competitive with fossil fuels. A carbon tax can help that, or make solar more competitive or whatever makes the most sense for each location and situation. And if the carbon tax is balanced by getting rid of other taxes is it really…
It basically was allowed to secede until they started shooting at Fort Sumpter I thought. Buchanans position was that their secession was illegal but it was also illegal to keep them by force iirc.
I don’t know, it would be hard to replace the feeling of security I get from my pack of emotional support bears. Sometimes children make fun of me, mocking my bald head, and I don’t know how I would handle it without my trusty bears to devour them. It is difficult herding them on airplanes though... Maybe a limit of…
We can develop the technology, but there isn't profit in it unless the government prices the pollution, tragically.
Bwahaha. Are Yale graduates so gullible because they are descended from the founding Mormons?
It seems like being bad at publishing should very much be punishable by losing your job at a publisher. It is supposed to be a free country, no one should be forced to employ embarrassing idiots in jobs that interact with the public.
In fairness, heroine addictions are the best kind of addictions, I would imagine. Heroin addictions, on the other hand...
