Obama must show him how it’s done. Wait til a few years on the Hill and Trudeau will start sprouting some salt and pepper. Then....oooooo boy

I’m suddenly pregnant with twins and totally okay with that. I’m glowing all over.

But can’t you make the argument that cabs have had decades longer to become a better business and haven’t, while they’ve pretty much maintained a monopoly? Yet, now they have real competition and instead of improving their own business model they’re trying to get lawmakers to shut down competitors. That’s why…

I’m normally very po-faced about other people’s pain but I read the title and my head did a sad trombone noise and I feel pretty bad about it but not bad enough to stop my mouth from doing a laugh.

I have to get a mandatory education before I can obtain a driver’s license. It boggles the mind that in some places you can buy a weapon specifically designed for killing without the same rule.

You’re right, but honestly I’m happy he shot her rather than himself. In this instance the person who got shot is the person wholly at fault.

Sorry, but this is hilarious and deliciously ironic. She created this situation through her own stupidity* and the only victim here is her poor son, who I feel very sorry for.

I'll hold on to the belief that he won't remember this and enjoy the schadenfreude.

When it comes to driver/passenger safety, it’s pretty clear that Uber needs to do a lot more. With respect to driver benefits and wages, I’m a bit conflicted. I’ve always worked freelance, so I’ve never had benefits. The difference for me is that I get to decide what my time and work are worth. No one sets my rates…

Why? Why in the hell would ‘call the Uber thing off.’ At this point, A) the level of problem isn’t clear, B) the idea that Uber is uniquely dangerous compared to cabs isn’t clear, and C) as long as no one is forced to take Uber, and Uber is upfront about their vetting process, why should anyone shut Uber down?

All this has done for me is made me want a bagel.

She's definitely vapid and shallow, but I don't think every single woman needs to present as intellectual, deep, useful, and completely selfless for the advancement of women and girls. We should be able to be as diverse and flawed as men and boys are. Men can have their Chris Rocks, their Einsteins, their Sam Smiths,…

I guess I'm giving Kim too much credit when I say she should be able to identify a slam all on her own.

It doesn’t slut shame her at all, it was just like a funny observation. Maybe Kim and Justin Bieber should start a support group for people who don’t understand Bette Midler’s hilarious jokes.

I didn’t see anything wrong with her joke? If anything I looked at it as her saying this shouldn’t really be shocking for people, we have seen her naked plenty of times before.

One of the main reasons for the establishment of inexpensive daycare in Quebec was to level the playing field between men and women and also to make it a financially viable option for a woman to work since all of her salary doesn’t go to childcare.

Four states (California, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Washington) plus D.C. have paid parental leave. They all appear to pay for it via the unemployment system—i.e. the employee and employer each pay a small tax out of each paycheck and then people apply for it. It would certainly be unfair for individual companies…

Why the backlash over asking where the money comes from? I would also like to know - who pays for it in other countries? Is it government? Employers? A combination? The answers above are illuminating, because when the question comes up I always think that employers are the ones who are supposed to provide it - and…

I think it’s a legitimate question, and I’m finding the responses to be pretty interesting.

Which brings up another good point: we wouldn't have so many people filing for assistance if these companies would pay their employees a livable fucking wage! How is it that productivity has gone up, CEO bonuses have gone up, yet wages for workers have stayed the same?!
