" If everyone in a region is getting the same minimum wage you have to pay, doesn't it stand to reason there will be more disposable income floating around that can go to your business."

Then why doesn't every business pay the lowest wage they can by law? I started out making a lot more money that minimum wage at my first job out of college.

What exactly would that look like? Today's young people are hardly burly industrial workers and farmers like in Russia 100 years ago.

The robot is $35K once plus the cost of maintenance for essentially unlimited hours of work.

I think Forbes annoyingly does that with all their links. Should be viewable if you pause any AdBlock you're using.

Oh sure, the US spends a ton of money on an idiotic War on Drugs and military misadventures abroad.

I'm 100% in favor a negative income tax/basic guaranteed income provided that it comes with a complete dismantling of the welfare state and its bureaucratic programs.

Why not tax the shit out of any business that uses labor-saving devices?

Friedman was in favor of a negative income tax provided it came with a complete dismantling of the welfare state.

Once again, liberals are incapable of separating how they think the world *should* be (ie everyone makes enough to live a comfortable life no matter what they actually do for work) versus how the world actually runs.

Depends on what time of year it is. The hottest months are August and September. Southern California is seldom humid in any case.

Archer getting his comeuppance via waterboarding seemed fitting to me. Way too many jackasses in the world do not believe it is torture so I'm all for a popular show making it very clear that it is, with Archer being the stand in for the pro-torture view.

The Archer-Lana bickering got old really fast because they're both so terrible to each other. Archer for being insanely inconsiderate and Lana for being insanely insecure.

Just send him off to fat camp and pray he doesn't eat all those fat, delicious children.

He's from Tobolsk, the historic capital of Siberia.

In Gaad's defense Elizabeth surprised him and got a clean shot right to his nose when he wasn't expecting it. That'll make anyone go down.

Oh yes, you're right. Only 4 seasons of this show but there's a lot one can forget.

Given the Soviet presence in the country the FBI might want to have a chat with him upon his return home.
