you were allowed to have lunchables?!?!?!??!

I would totally watch Nihilist Rugrats.

These guys or GTFO.

Rocko’s Modern Life was the pinnacle of human cultural achievement.

you take that back about the rugrats

Glad he’s finally caught a break.

Which one? I’m amazed. That’s a shocking amount of logic from a Republican. Contemporary Republican, at least. Remember Roosevelt and Lincoln, guys?

Yeah, same. It’s kind of odd to me for it to be coming from them, but whatever? Whatever helps, college is fucking expensive.

im ok with this

Maybe Jergens can do a matching scholarship.

As someone who makes just above $15 an hour, I think the argument that “ermahgerd burger flippers can’t make as much as me!” is bullshit. someone else’s ability to put food on their table doesn’t make my money mean any less, it's got nothing to do with me at all. So I'm with you.

My mother has broken the software of every electronic device and service she has ever owned. Phone, computer, iPad, Samsung, coffee maker, ordering from Lands End, Amazon (seriously how do you end up with 3 duplicate accounts with the same pw and email?), and the public library. If the robots try to take over, I’m…

This kinja co-op has made me glad that payday’s around the corner (for me). I like that comfort factor was considered by all of the entries, and I can’t wait to get some of those Bloch flats into my shoe rotation.

This is also known as the “where’s MY $7 raise?” argument.

I’ve been contemplating writing a longer “why the arguments that increasing the minimum wage will lead to all fast food jobs being replaces with robots are horseshit” post for a while now. I might do that for Saturday.

I’m in that boat with ya. I really don’t get why people who make close to $15/hr or just above it give so much of a damn if other people besides themselves can actually buy food and pay bills without counting value of food by ounces/calorie ratios. I work an office job, have an MA, and I’ve been brute force applying…

Another argument to add to those who’ve already replied: Some jobs don’t need to be paid a living wage! They’re held by teens / retirees / ex-house-spouses / college students looking for a few extra bucks!

Can you imagine the nuclear-level shitfit some conservatives would have if a liberal clerk refused to issue someone a gun licence because they didn’t like firearms? They’d be furious, and you know, rightly so. People have a right to expect public officials to follow the law, even if they don’t agree with it. If you…

Remember, there’s no magic wage threshold for restaurants to replace employees with robots. The point employees will be replaced is “when the technology exists.” And only when a touchscreen can handle your 92 year old Aunt Nona’s electronic device incompetence without employee assistance is the day human order takers…

At this point I’m sure I sound like a broken record, but why are some people fighting so hard to prevent others from earning enough money to cover basic expenses and you know, live?
