A country with a comparable geographical size, economic makeup, and social construction is a good start. Now, if that country has a far smaller population, it would mean that distribution costs would be higher. That would mean that running a successful business or government budget would be more difficult. Fewer ways…

It shows an acceptance of money as the core value of politics these days.

"But if you only have x amount of dollars for payroll and the wage is doubled, you only employ half as many people."

No you don't. Not even a little bit. ASk the single mother working two minimum wage jobs if, when her 7 year old son broke her arm, if his healthcare was "basically free."

You're talking to people who will blindly compare a woman working fast food to a male surgeon and say there is a pay gap. I agree Fast food is a minimum wage job, but the minimum wage has to be livable to ensure government assistance is required to keep these people afloat, it's not just teenagers working these jobs…

In Germany, BK just came to legal blows with its biggest franchisee leading to temporary closure of one in eigth restaurants in Germany. After media had reported problems, they initially had made a deal that the managing director of the franchisee would stay out of day to day business, as his business attitude was…

You rape my wife, I'll play footie with your head and my steel toe boots.

What beating? Scum on the streets don't turn into angels once they are in prison.

PREACH! I tried one for a few months, but I have a heavy flow and had to change the damn thing in the communal work bathroom. Not. Great.

And haven't extensively remodeled your vagina via multiple traumatic large-baby births. *sigh* Same is also true for tampons, unfortunately.

Cunt shunt.

God, are you me? Except for the age (40), it's like you read my mind.

As much as I am annoyed by the "taxleeching scum!" line of thinking - as it certainly isn't the strongest anti-monarchist ethic by far, this video is trash. It's a convoluted reasoning. The Queen "voluntarily" (she couldn't very well not do this as it's been done for generations) hands over the income from all Crown…

Most people in the UK don't have health insurance in the sense that you mean. Everyone pays a tax on our earnings called National Insurance and that money is earmarked for the welfare state - health care, state benefits, all of that. NI doesn't cover it all, so it's topped up by other taxes, but we pay for health care…
