It’s not worrisome. It’s the real problem. Trump is insignificant relatively speaking.

Expecting people to read the manual when it comes to putting their life in the hands of technology. Psh. A bridge too far...

I plainly mentioned the fact that the top two quintiles in the US account for 70% of the income. The top one is roughly 50% and the top 1% is roughly 10%. Whose reading comprehension skills are lacking? That was literally in the first sentence. Who doesn’t understand the issue again? More importantly who is it here…

Even with an agent it’s your responsibility as a worker to know the market for your skills. If she should have been making 200k or 600k or whatever then she needs to slap herself for cluelessly signing on for 135k. The agent is theoretically supposed to want the most for you because they get a commission but at the…

People with the same resume and the same performance should make basically the same money.

I think it’s funny how you think redistributing the ~70% of income that is currently allocated to the top two quintiles in our income distribution is possible without making concessions to the voters that will be negatively impacted by such a move.

I think it’s funny how I called out the reason progressives aren’t popular in America, even among lifelong Democrats like yours truly, and then you doubled down on it.

1) We’ve already seen the lite (Sanders) version run as a Democrat and he lost (Minorities weren’t buying what he was selling and that hasn’t changed).

1) There’s a difference between wealth and income.

Where else in the world are the people clamoring for a robust safety net while demanding to get it without any additional contribution from their own pockets? Which countries also have low income people with negative or single digit effective tax rates?

I hope someone that is radically and unabashedly in favor of radical redistribution of wealth will run as an independent in 2020 so we can see where things stand.

You are complaining about the fact that we live in a world that has winners and losers. Please tell me more about this world that works generally the same but has no losers.

This is a stunningly bad take.

Did you then proceed to give that $1.32 to a charity or organization that is going to help DACA recipients?

All life advice amounts to taking proper advantage of the opportunities (privileges if you will) presented to you.

You are not talking about fairness. You are talking about equality of outcomes. Equality of opportunity is great. It’s fair. Equality of outcomes is bullshit and incredibly unfair.

It’s ridiculous how people on a family of sites that routinely complain about labor practices being “unfair” will also boo and hiss at a textbook example of an employee (albeit an already loaded one) leveraging their employment agreement to get theirs.

Someone please explain what Mark Wahlberg did wrong here.

The budget is management’s problem. An employee shouldn’t give a flying fuck how much money is or isn’t in the budget. Normal people might get tripped up by that sort of bullshit but if that happened to someone’s agent that agent needs to be fired.

Atlanta made you happy.
