This is so deliciously good.

Everyone reads the greys first on Jezebel.

Yep, all that Republican bullshit is contradicted by the fact that we’re the only first world country with third world inequality, and, surprise, we also have terrible quality of life. The poor schmucks who vote Republican deserve to be denied a living wage.

One could argue that both LeBron James AND the Miller Lite guy are underpaid...

So, this logic falls apart pretty quickly when you realize that LeBron is in fact a worker, not the owner. In this scenario Dan Gilbert would have his earnings tied to what the workers made (LeBron does not make more than him, for instance). As I stated, you could have 30 to one for the median salary (which would be…

Because unless there is a livable wage attached to a job then the government is basically subsidizing a corporation through SNAP and other welfare programs.

That would be one argument.

 

Normally you wouldn’t want a universally set minimum wage, but instead you would have a strong union culture that sets minimum wages and standards across industries. Sweden, for example, has no minimum wage, but has incredibly high union participation amongst its population. Because the US—specifically the GOP—has…

“Why should some one who flips burgers make 15 dollars an hour?”—Every Republican I know

Instead of focusing on more ways to funnel money into the federal government (where both sides can point out a ton of waste, though they may not agree which departments), why not directly tackle the issue? Tie the median level to the top earner in any given organization...i.e. the median worker’s annualized income…

Is being the “champion” of something like this really a thing to be proud of?

Ok, you made me laugh, in a good way. I think I’m just super traditional, into homemade gifts and baking cookies.y family and I enjoy Christmas Eve mass and like to keep it light so we can go away for a couple of weeks. Dec is the only real down time I get from my work. I don’t think this makes me “bad” nor do I think…

And, Apparently, The working man is going to love it.

....and for fuck’s sake, can we put to rest the idea that buying ‘too many’ presents for kids is gonna make them materialistic and shallow? Having parents with shitty values is what makes kids materialistic and shallow, not giving them too many Lego sets or whatever. The world may be fucked, but it isn’t some…

“My six-year-old has been asking for a tracksuit since September.”

Raise your children to be kind, teach them that possessions are less important than people, and also buy them Christmas presents. You can do all these things when you’re taking a break from gazing at your navel.

You make some of the jews I know seem downright jolly.

Oooohhhh dis gon be good

Which tells me this is work of an amateur, troll, or, likely a progressive faking aggression to spur a wonderful parade.

Obvious answer is obvious. Even has a handbrake for handbrake turns now.
