Yes, you can only care about young people working if you’re in favor of forced retirement.

Dear Forbes,

You can’t advocate working after you retire and then lament the poor employment opportunities for younger people, their mountain of student loan debt, and their living at home with their parents.

You, literally, can’t.

This has never been a question for me. I just hope I can actually get down to part time when I’m 70.

I think it’s nice that this year’s Madden was coded by people who’ve never watched football and took their best guess at the rules.

If you’re the type of person who plays Bucs vs. Broncos in Philadelphia, maybe the game isn’t the only thing with a glitch.

Well the problem with your assumption is that if NIH has to increase salaries due to a legal reason, they will. The NIH postdoc salary tables are now at least increasing to just the ~$48k level at which postdocs no longer qualify for overtime pay even when salaried. They can raise the pay, they just don’t wanna.

“Interesting how the stance of every employer fighting unionization seems to be “they only want it because they don’t realize how bad it will be for them.” — Similar to those laws that are there to protect women from themselves.

....or you can be in favor of the judge using his discretion intelligently and also be against mandatory minimums. This isn’t a debate between a three year sentence and a four year sentence. Nor do I think anyone here wants to see him imprisoned for life, but this judge chose an equally absurd extreme. This guy will…

What was done to her was beyond unforgivable. But it wasn’t the porn’s fault; it was solely the fault of the evil waste of life who abducted her. Blaming porn is like blaming video games for Columbine.

I feel like a person whose introduction to porn was their rapist abductor kind of doesn't have the most level starting point for a conversation about the subject. But maybe that's just me.

They watched the Sixers do it and just had to get in on that great idea.

Welcome to the Ichiro dimension, where everything counts.

I live in Kansas, destroying the state is an artform here...if that is what it takes we have a presidential candidate for ya...

Well, Mair is also a big fan of Scott Walker, so a governor who destroys a state is basically her platonic ideal. (I follow her on twitter to avoid the cocoon.)

Hello. Can you elaborate on how he tanked New Mexico? I’m researching this guy because my sister wants to vote for him (and keeps posting shit on social media about a “third choice” - as if) and I saw he left the state of New Mexico in a surplus and is “highly regarded”... But I have no idea about what happened to the…

I’ve seen a few people on my Facebook newsfeed supporting Gary Johnson, but they always seem to do it in this really smug way, like, “Oh you Democrats and Republicans pretending like there’s only 2 viable candidates are so dumb! Look here, we’ve got Gary Johnson. He’s reasonable! He’d be great!” And every time I see…

He seems to have graduated from the Underpants Gnome School of Politics.

He is if nothing else; an honest Libertarian candidate. If you understand Libertarian ideology, then you can predict Johnson’s views and choices on 99% of things without fail. Since Libertarians are hardcore idealists who are completely blind to what’s practical and reality in general.

Once again for the cheap seats in the back: Gary Johnson originally won his seat as governor by a split in the progressive vote, and proceeded to tank the state with his “policies.” His policies were basically vetoing every piece of legislation that crossed his desk.

If I lived in a city big enough to have a sports team, I’d vote for letting them all leave over contributing a dime. What a waste. If no cities were willing to shell out hundreds of millions for new stadiums, we wouldn’t be in this arms race and teams wouldn’t have any impetus to leave.
