So have an appropriate up-charge for adults ordering off the kid’s menu. People who actually want simple food items aren’t going to mind, and the cheapskates will either order something else or they won’t. Either way, the largest number of people are happy.
I don’t have what anyone would call a refined pallet, so often times I find myself left with 3 options if I go to a place I haven’t been before: Attempt to order off menu if it looks like they have all the pieces to make something I’ll eat but don’t actually have it listed, order off the kids menu (I’ll pay an…
Meanwhile I’m still wondering why Nintendo doesn’t have all the pre-3DS Pokemon games in anyone’s app store. Do they just hate money that much?
It has always seemed to me that these staggered launches are more of an extended beta/stress test for the companies that do them. They don’t necessarily expect everyone to run out and buy it early, but great if they do, plus you have a week to two weeks before your actual launch date to iron out any major issues.…
At least the fact that it’s pre-tax income means that when it comes to your take home pay, you probably won’t hardly notice a difference.
It’s for people who have actually been successful in their careers but might need or want to transition into a new field and give incentive for their companies to help pay for it. Something you might benefit from in the future, but you’d have to actually be successful first.
Free college would do two things: Incentivize colleges and universities to raise costs, and dilute the value of a college degree even further than it already has been. Too many people already go to college that find out the hard way they aren’t cut out for it.
Because it isn’t outright punishing the rich.
I don’t know what’s worse: That someone is able to generate that much wealth and power to go along with it, or that if any of you were able to do the same, you’d be far, far worse than Joe Ricketts.
The point that you and the rest of them are overlooking is that even if you did this, it still wouldn’t come close to paying for all the new entitlement spending they want to do too. Taxing the rich is not a balm to soothe all wounds.
Sounds like the best thing the Democrats could do to combat that then would be to end up with a center left candidate who has broad appeal rather than catering to a hyper-focused fringe element of the party that is big on promises but short on actually actionable solutions.
If Schultz is really so dumb and awful, why are you, the rest of the Splinter writers, and other sundry Democrats so pants-shittingly terrified that he’s going to play spoiler to whomever the Democrats don’t eat? According to you and everyone else, nothing about him should appeal to Democratic voters, while virtually…
How ironic that at a private dinner the Democrats being the process of eating their own. Never change Democrats, never change.
Careful, the last time someone linked Democrats, pizza, and basements together, it didn’t go so well.
It will never stop being fascinating to me that Democrats are worried that an independent candidate running basically a libertarian-lite campaign will steal votes from them and not the increasingly unpalatable Republicans. Most of the social issues that Democrats have been fighting for are becoming more mainstream…
As would I, but I also highly doubt whomever is, is giving it much of a once over for formatting artifacts like we continually seem to get on his articles. Which whether you agree with Ramos or not, they’re really the only blemish on some well written pieces.
Need to call the Air Force and get one of these.
Right. What exactly is it about Schultz that’s supposed to attract Democrats again? If progressives really are the future of the Democratic party and are going to slam dunk every election from here to the Sun exploding, why wouldn’t they encourage Schultz to draw away some of the people who held their noses to vote…
This is why they should’ve stipulated median salary, not average.
