Probably because they’d have to raise the tax by over $2.50 a gallon in the Michigan to match what France already had...

• Not enough day drinking isn’t my real name.

The goal posts haven’t changed. Getting a cheesburger from using an app is better than signing up for social media for nothing.

Social media is a cancer and nothing good comes from it. People who willingly give over their personal information in exchange for the opportunity to be sold fake news are exactly the type of people who shouldn’t be exposed to fake news in the first place.

This sounds like a great opportunity for a savvy disruptor to develop a can opening app. Whenever someone needs a can opened, they just use the app, and the nearest available person with a can opener will come right to your kitchen and open your can.

“Millenials are so lazy they don’t even own can openers because they involve manual labor”

my house has a much higher tangible (as well as non-tangible) value than a burger does.

Your house is tangible value and so is the income you receive...  

Counterpoint: at least you get something tangible from this. People regularly sign up for Facebook and Twitter, giving them all kinds of personal information about themselves and their friends for free.

“I think it would be nice if your meal came with a side salad and six french fries.”

Well duh.  If you give them back their phone, they can order food with it.  If you give them food, they can’t eat it to summon their phone.  Kids aren’t as stupid as you think!

Yahoo bought Tumblr, so wouldn’t that be like asking itself?

Tumblr exec 1: I bet you $1 I can kill this site off in less than a year

Back in a former life, I used to work on visualizing black hole collision simulations under a NASA grant (I did computer science, not physics stuff, but I picked up a bit).

The minimum wage is still $11. A tipped wage only means the source of the wage is offset, but the total still needs to meet or exceed the minimum wage.

The post says Trillium downgraded its retail workers from $8 an hour to $5 an hour when it opened a new location, and that other employees’ pay was also cut around this time.

People will cover their own asses first and then worry about the company profits a distant second. The problem right now is that no one is held personally responsible. If any fine is levied at all, it’s towards the company, and to the front line IT guy, a fine to the company means nothing to them personally. But if…

Catholics don’t even arrest their priests for raping children, but I would love to ask a female Catholic priest their opinion. Can you point me to one?

If you plagiarize at any college level now they’re most likely going to catch you. Software like ‘Turnitin’ and ‘iThenticate’ are built into learning management tools so as you soon as the student hits submit, the software checks to see if it’s been plagiarized before the teacher even reads it.

Here’s the problem. You’ve got a legislature in the state of Michigan already basing policy on this paper they’ve written, but the paper itself says they haven’t identified whether they’ve pinpointed the cause of or the result of the thing they’re studying.
