CALL BERNIE KOSAR A RAVEN AGAIN, SEE WHAT HAPPENS

I’m predicting that next week’s Browns vs. Bills matchup is the first game in NFL history where the final score is 1-0.

This isn’t Albert’s fault. The “us vs. them” mentality has existed for-goddamned-ever, but if you really want to pin it’s current explosion on anyone, I think tacking it on the Republican congressional leadership in 2008 would be a pretty fair spot, given their expressly stated goal of four years (and ultimately…

I honestly think that if they had nominated anyone, ANYONE, other than Clinton; the Dems win the White House.

“That is Socialism.”

That sounds fantastic. Hook me up.

You have obviously never worked a service industry job ever, which makes you completely unqualified to speak to the demands of a service industry job.

As a business owner, if I have to pay a McDonalds worker $15/ hour, those costs need to be borne somewhere. Its either through automation (ordering kiosks to eliminate headcount) or increased product price.

You’re one of the people I’m talking about!

I like how people who like apples are delusional, but people who want oranges are righteous.

Right? There is nothing more “skilled” about working an assembly line than working at McDonalds or in retail. It’s not like being a doctor, or welder, or mechanic. The only difference is that factory workers organized and fought for decent pay, benefits, the five day work-week, ect. And because so many of those jobs…

I like how people act as though $15 is far too much to pay a worker who is “unskilled” but nobody ever asks what that worker’s value to the company is.

Even if they bring back factory jobs, they’d end up being automated, or minimum wage. I don’t see how the there is a difference between filling a injection molding hopper with plastic and filling a fry basket. The the hygiene standards are higher with food, so you can argue it should pay more.

Seven decades of data say that isn’t what happens.

Rural whites who want a return of manufacturing jobs aren’t delusional to want them to return. It would be great if that somehow happened.

God I’m gonna miss Barry O

Artisanal coffee is bullshit, but cheap coffee is ass. There’s a bell curve, with the top being good stuff you buy in a grocery store. Rule of thumb: if you’re paying more than a dollar an ounce, you’re buying bullshit; but if you’re paying less than $5 a pound, you’re buying ass.

I hated myself for feeling relieved when I saw Mitt was being seriously considered for Secretary of State but that’s the way this is going.

Man, people sure have a strange way of expressing their economic insecurity.

I checked Grantland pretty regularly, and not just through ESPN. Went there directly most of the time. It had it’s misses but had a lot of good writers making good content.

My inlaws have had their grandchild visitation revoked. I told them we’ll revisit in 6 months, but they shouldn’t hold their breath. Elections have consequences.
