You’re right. I wrote “than” when I ought you have written “then.” I could blame autocorrect, but that wouldn’t change the incredible ramifications of my typo on the actual argument. Clearly, positional goods do not exist, and employment isn’t a zero-sum game. I mean, why would the holder of such a good claim…

Well, of they don’t offer severance, and their divers assent eligible to collect unemployment, than basic economics dictates that as far as the worker is concerned, they might as well be. Employment status is stickier than prevailing wages. But you knew all that.

Sure! But in this case, the third party is actually their supplier for the thing you just contracted to buy from them. Hardly extortion to be allowed to name your own price for your own commodities. Why are you against personal liberty in the labor market? Why do you think it should be regulated more heavily than…

Nnnnope. If you get to work in a union shop without joining the union, that’s the state forcing them into association with you. Working somewhere is not some natural, immutable condition that supersedes the union’s right to contact with management to exclude freeloaders. That’s look saying I’m allowed to shoplift…

“Expands regulations” is a meaningless phrase. Just because your particular concept of market-driven solutions isn’t identical to a teenage libertarian’s doesn’t mean you’re somehow not favoring market solutions over democratic ones. Regulations aren’t intrinsically anti-financializing, on the contrary, they create an…

Yes, “choosing,” because money has never been used coercively, what a crazy notion.

Lol, yup, you can’t possibly be wrong, so CLEARLY everyone’s just pretending to disagree with you because we’re jelly. Brilliant and original idea you got there

It’s not they nonsensical- cf. The USSR not giving help to communists bring massacred in Nazi Germany before the war or the U.S. executing John Brown. The Republic still thinks war can be avoided, Leia knows it can’t, so she starts terrorizing the First Order as best she can without their help.

Ahahahahsha

Oh, God no. Elected judges are so much worse. All this talk about qualifications we’re having? Out the window. The judiciary would become a retirement gig for young senators without the charisma to be perennial presidential primary candidates.

And he LOVES him some color

Well, they did in Cuba

 You should read the 90s paperbacks!

Heh. Kind of.

If they’re willing to keep profiting off of you after 40 hours, then yeah, it absolutely does.

Closer to three-quarters than under half, but ok

Ding ding ding!

Yes, because the Soviet bloc famously fell in 1969. Sorry, but if it happened without free trade, free trade doesn’t get the credit. There’s a reason Pakistan is underdeveloped compared to India.

There are no absolute measurements in economics. There’s data, but only relationships of trade and production can be quantified.

Pew are right-wing hacks with notoriously terrible methodology. Harvard, Quinnipiac, and others all show that support is between 52% and 57% of likely voters, and considerably higher for the public at large.
