I think that you’re incorrect about the motives of many of the posters on here. I’ve seen quite a few folk who were very much on board with raising the minimum wage across the board, including the talks of the unionization of fast food workers that happened a few years ago.

I have an undergraduate degree in economics, and I stand by saying that running food services for Harvard (or any university) is a large operation, which can not solely be handled by an interchangeable group of ‘unskilled labor’. This is not a church soup kitchen.

They make $22-23/hr during the school year. Add in a stipend Harvard is offering and it’s likely much more that $35K. I don’t know how long their summer/winter break is.

Throw it to the dumb white guy and hope he doesn’t run backwards?

I’d venture in the Pats’ case, the “Trump” audible is some kind of fancy dog whistle.

Best. Soccer game. Ever.

No matter how this game ends, never forget Pete Carroll is a 9/11 truther piece of shit. Fuck that guy.

He asked the ref if it was a first down. The ref told him no. Jamesis doesn’t like taking no for an answer.

Except that is awesome and I think the NFL should give him 5 points for being able to bounce it off the top of an upright.

So maybe Barron isn’t all that good with computers after all.

Incorrect, if he didn’t grab her arm she would have walked right into that oncoming train.

Guys, my (Latino) husband doesn’t know it yet because he’s not home, but our couples Halloween costume is now Nasty Woman and Bad Hombre, this nightmare election is finally giving me something useful.
