Sounds to me like you have a concrete idea of how much each job should pay, how much it “merits”. Is that like a central plan or something? Maybe one that phases in over a number of years? (5 or so?)

Minimum wage is not fair. When rent is $1000 a month and you make $7.25 an hour it is time for people to make more per hour. I had this conversation with my parents and when I showed them my financials they were dumbstruck with how much shit costs. To put it in perspective they have owned their home for 15 years and…

Nice to know you have complete knowledge of all the tasks these employees do and the quality of their work. That’s impressive.

Just as the airport restaurant can raise their prices, and refuse to sell you a hamburger for the old, lower price, so too can workers refuse to work until they receive a higher price for their work. That’s what a strike is.

That’s why I’m not wasting my time teaching you the basic principles of organized labor.

oh yeah, the guy making $6 an hour to load an airplane in -40 weather is just the greediest jerk alive.

You’re a curmudgeon. You’re also dumb.

If your employees are able to stop work and hold you hostage you should probably pay them more. If it doesn’t significantly impact your business you have more leverage to negotiate, if your business is significanly impacted then their skills are worth more than you are paying them. Labor markets aren’t always open…

I just changed my name legally to Blockchain Bitcoin McCoinbaseface. Now waiting for the millions to roll in.

You mean this wasn’t enough?

And just like that, fps suddenly matters in the heads of console gamers

I guess this is an ELI5, but I thought the One X was supposed to be the most powerful gaming console ever created. Forcing players to choose between 60 FPS and 4K in a 2 1/2 year-old game seems underwhelming.

If *45 took one weekend off from golfing—one—that would be enough savings to keep the site running for fifty years. It’s not about the money. It’s about silencing dissenting voices.

Trump calls the internet “the cyber”. He doesn’t know anything about what’s going on. If he did, he would have bragged about the “win” when it passed last week.

Great comment

Yes, but all a Republican candidate has to do is shout, “Abortions! Dead babies! Black people! Muslims! Immigrants!” And the voters will vote them in again.

You, sir or mam, are a pussy. It’s been a year since Trump has been elected and what does he have to show for it??? Not very much, even with control of all three branches. A lot of it has to do with how vocal people are being and speaking up, not sitting down. Don’t give up. There’s more elections in the future. We…

CNN is still considered a reasonably reliable source of news by people who live on Earth-616. Yes, their editorial policy does lean slightly toward mainstream liberalism, just like the Wall Street Journal’s editorial policy leans toward mainstream conservatism; however, that does not affect their journalistic…

The two things you can count on with Trump and most of his cronies: 1) They are naturally corrupt. Corruption is their very nature. It is their DNA. They only represent the worst impulses of humanity. 2) They are extraordinarily stupid. A life of privilege and wealth has given them a sense of superiority and an…

This is excellent satire. Although if you really wanted to sell it you should’ve fit in a ‘snowflake’ or ‘cuck’ somewhere.
