I'm not a Michigander... just going off of what the article says:

I know man... It's annoying.

In the case of Michigan it's about choice. Do you have the right as a free citizen to choose whether to be in a union or not? That is the question at hand and I'm very pleased that Michiganders chose a free work place.

Nor would I.

New hotness, old busted. Get it straight.

Alright man, I thought we were having a respectful discussion of perspective but I see now you aren't interested in that. Have a good one.

If they knew they were complicit in the creation of snarky internet a-holes they might have shelved the idea before it caught on...

The flying candlestick?

I think your parents will be most sad to learn that what they've taught you had no bearing on your success (or failure), that is was, in fact, only due to the benevolent governmental entity that you did, indeed, make something of your self (or not) LOL.

This is where what income levels define "low" is important because it will inform us as to how many folks are in that category. That's an important perspective if you are trying to say that, overall, the US has low mobility; especially when that is such a counter-intuitive prospect. Additionally, these studies do not…

It's not that American's are OK with low mobility... they don't perceive it to be low in the first place. That's like me telling you your income is low when you are perfectly fine with it...

Because there is always a bias. I try to read as much as I can on both "sides" of any debate but there really is so much crap out there I tend to stick to the classics.

No. It spent 750 billion federally and 250 billion at the state level. And I'm real sorry but a nordic study of mobility in the US really holds no water with me! You guys can keep your socialism and the arguments for it! LOL. No offense, if it's what you want, that's fine, just don't try to sell it to me as the "one…

Yeah.. I'm not so sure the list of times I found is the latest.

You know, I'm not so sure that these times are the most current...

Because a smaller, more homogeneous society has more consensus? And can therefore act with more unanimity? Turning the Titanic is no easy task and some would debate if it should even be turned at all. The US is a constitutional republic... believe it or not the federal government does not hold all the power. The…

I'm sure Denmark is a wonderful place but with only 5.5 million people you can't really compare it to the US. Also, it's a very homogeneous country. The US, on the other hand, has 315+ million people and a very diverse cultural, religious and ethnic makeup. I think the best way to compare the two would be to take a…

Lap records at Road Atlanta...

So obviously you think boomers changed society for the worse? I mean if you're going to do an analysis of factors impacting change, at least draw a conclusion that is direct and not implied and then defend your assumptions.

I'd like to know how many folks drive vehicles, hybrid or otherwise, that actually hit the number. Granted, I have a heavy foot... I'm definitely not a hyper-miler... but my mileage is always at the lower end of the city/hwy range in daily driving and shy of the hwy number on road trips.
