Restaurants also need to carry special fleet insurance for their drivers who risk their lives every time they get in their cars.

You are a cheapskate, and asshole. Please kill yourself before you procreate. The reason the food at these restaurants is cheap is because the company externalizes their labor cost to the customers. Restaurant margins are low.

So you think anyone who works doesn't deserve more than minimum wage? Bet your HR department will be happy to hear that.

That's why I did not put any effort into take out orders. What did I care if you were upset your sandwich was smashed or your food was cold? You want restaurant quality food but don't want to pay for it? Well good luck. Oh, and don't bother complaining to the manager/owner if it's not a chain restaurant. They don't…

In many european countries waitstaff are paid living wages and will become confused/offended if you try to tip more than rounding up to the nearest Euro.

Ever consider this may be due to a cycle of high maintenance customers never leaving a decent tip? When I was a waiter the easiest tables were always the best tippers. The more special instructions I received the less I knew I could expect and the less effort I put into monitoring your beverage so I could be right…

It's impossible to be sure of something like that but I certainly wouldn't put it past them.

What pissed me off most was the GOP fuckers purposely let her filibuster for 12 hours before attempting to shut her down on a technicality presumably to try and teach her a lesson. Glad it blew up in their dumb fucking faces.

She's apologizing for getting caught.

If being a rapist asshole is some kind of evolutionary advantage (I say that because this behavior is sickenly common) can't we make the conscious choice to shape our evolution and suppress these genes by sterilizing people who engage in this behavior? The thought of these bastards getting slapped on the wrist and…

Stay out of other people's lives, especially when your premises are primarily based on anecdotal evidence. Mind your own business. Tend your own garden.

There's like 30K worth of musical equipment there. Hard to recoup that for most musicians.

The court finds that if those girls didn't want it they shouldn't have been looking all hot and allow themselves to be taken captive. Court rules in favor of defendant.

Format has changed since I was a kid.

That's my point. It conditions children to the rhythms of television programming. Sesame Street is definitely on the more positive end of the TV spectrum, but still part of the same animal.

It does condition children to have short attention spans thanks to 2-3 minute segments punctuated by fake commercials.

Our system does have a disproportionately negative impact on those who make less money, but the tax system is only part of that equation.

I understand the implications, I don't understand how they're being trotted out as anything but a regressive system.

Great explanation. Now I'm even more confused why wealthy people whine about higher taxes if we're all taxed the same at the same intervals.

Nevermind, the difference is only 3% more. A nice even 100k sounds good.
