I had a professor in college who was a weirdo Austrian economics guy. He spent a whole class raging against the minimum wage and the argument basically boiled down to if grocery stores could pay 16 year olds $2/hr there would never be shopping carts in the parking lot.

$15 an hour seems like a great idea, until I stop to think about the level of incompetence I’ve encountered far-too-frequently at fast food drive-thru windows.

The 2019 Women’s World Cup raked in an estimated $131 million dollars. The 2018 Men’s World Cup raked in more than 45 times more money, at $6 billion dollars. This is why male soccer players make more money; they actually get a smaller % of the prize money then female players, but the men just have a much larger

Fine, look at the numbers: This women’s final bested viewership of the men’s 2018 final game by 22 percent, becoming the most-watched soccer match on English-language TV in the U.S. since the women’s 2015 final, according to Fox Sports.

...how anyone can back this fucking toddler should be beyond me...”

I feel like this article is grossly overestimating the appetite of average Americans to swing wildly from one extreme end of the political spectrum to the other. Congress has been blasted for years as ineffective, and too partisan to work together to actually get anything accomplished... and yet the proposed solution

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

The Holocaust comparisons have gotten out of hand, and by that, I mean the sheer amount of “brand protection” is absurd...

Season 7 wasn’t as strong as previous seasons, but I still felt it was serviceable. It still felt like Game of Thrones, even if characters were rushing from place to place. It still ended with the Night King breaking down the wall, and the army of the dead marching south as an existential threat to mankind. It still

Um... the Little Mermaid didn’t take place in the Caribbean...

Part of the draw of the live action Disney movies is the parity with their animated counter parts.

I live in Richmond, VA. I don’t know if this is true across the board, but if other Confederate states teach what is taught here, then people in the South would absolutely learn what the Civil War was about. If that is true, and they then argue anything other than the Civil War being the result of Southern secession

I think they know what the war was about, they just skip a little bit down the road to justify it.

These southerners are a particular bizarre brand of conflicted.

This would all be a lot more... um... “enforceable” if everyone was on the same page about the flag. Unfortunately, there are plenty of African Americans defending the flag with the same nonsense “southern pride” argument as their intentionally and/or ignorantly racist white compatriots. It is hard enough getting

I’ve never heard once of someone complaining about not having a female Link.

Who gives a fuck? There are tons of games without gender or race sliders. The argument “I can’t play it if it doesn’t represent me!” is for strange, weak people that need everything to be about them. I never once threw my GameCube through a window whilst playing Metroid Prime, because you know... Samus. People will

I really want people to have a decent living, I really do...

That rationale is Bullshit if you consider yourself a free person. We can organize this. But there’s always a few people in the crowd that bring that up as a reason to disband the idea. Its bullshit.

Its only rated 1000 lbs in the US, but the exact same vehicle is rated for 4500 lbs in Europe. Should be fine if you keep it closer to 1000 lbs.
