So, you’re going to provide some sort of evidence for this very contentious claim rather than just expecting us to take your word for it? Since it’s, you know, complete and utter bullshit. Like, not only empirically false but it doesn’t even comport with the theoretical models you apparently seem to believe…

In good union news, JetBlue flight attendants just voted to unionize under the Transport Workers Union with 66% of voters saying “yes”. 86% of eligible voters cast a ballot so it appears to be a resounding affirmation of the flight attendants’ belief that a “direct relationship” is not superior to third-party…

The kind of extremist loons the gop is throwing on to the bench at record pace is so disheartening. While she is obviously a nutjob re: choice, I can’t imagine her rulings on a while host of issues will be much better. Like Title VII employment discrimination cases. I would suspect she will be ready to toss out claims…

He’s not brushing anything off. In Kudlow’s mind deficit spending on “welfare” (regardless of what the actual spending was for. Anything not “upper income tax cut” is “welfare”) vs deficit spending on growth supercharging tax cuts for rich people are so obviously different there is absolutely no comparison between the…

Totally. Nothing if you ignore child laborers in other countries. Or protecting older workers from age discrimination by companies changing the way they distribute benefits from pension funds. Or low wage workers who did not have access to employer provided health care so as to make them reliant on community health…

I mean, it’s hard to completely blame them for being “confused” when the gop brazenly lies about what the gop thinks are the problems with ACA as well as their “plan” to replace the ACA with “market” alternatives.

Jesus christ, you win for the most insane, revisionist, unhinged conspiracy theory of the day. Which is a pretty high bar for over here.

No. It’s because our doctors and all other providers of medical services/equipment are greedy.

Peanuts? How do other countries where doctors are paid tens of thousands of dollars less per year even have doctors? There must be some sort of slave system where the doctors are forced to practice medicine with a gun to their head.

The crappy litigious society? So, what, people who are injured due to another party’s negligence should just eat shit and like it?

Im not sure if you have spent much time in reality but compromise is typically how the majority of people are able to get through their lives.

There is no difference. “Ambulance chaser” is an epithet purposefully created as part of a campaign to discredit plaintiff side attorneys who represent injured individuals, consumers, and employees on a contingency fee basis.

Oh no! A few people suing companies for violating the law in one state. What animals. Well, that definitely proves without a doubt that “ambulance chasing lawyers” are ruining America.

Yeah, seeing people regurgitate idiotic right wing propaganda designed to actively hurt people so the rich can get richer does “strike a nerve” with me. But I’m strange like that.

“ambulance chasing trial lawyers”

“but it also partially due to those jobs being undesirable, at least at the salary the market is willing to bear.”

In a market based economy how can there ever be a necessary job that is “unfillable”? There must be some wage at which someone will be willing to do really any task. A UBI or similar program would just mean that wage is higher than it is in a society without a UBI.

Things like unfunded pensions, and driving out good employees from a lack of raises or opportunity for advancement.

It’s weird how the soul sucking destruction of one’s self worth when they don’t have a job doesn’t happen to really rich people who don’t need to work. It seems more likely the psychological pain from not having a job is due to the distress of not knowing how one is going to survive without income rather than the…

...that no legislation can curtail?
