  • I honestly don't understand that, I have always rounded up for money going out and down for money coming in. So if I see something priced at $3.25 my brain thinks $4, and if I earn $3.25 my brain thinks $3 dollars.

  • I think people need to understand that we don't actually have to eat the rich.

  • It does tend to be a push pull system, but with capitalism it is really the only thing that can be done, inflation will always go up and wages will always follow, often there is a lot of lag though. It's kinda like playing catch up, if we find a living wage that works it will only work for a while then the purchasing power of that wage will slip.

    What we need is a system that adjusts every year that way the corporations would have to find a more sustainable method to address earnings, because they would not have the lag between cost of living and minimum wage.

  • Federal minimum wage is $7.50 that is not a livable wage anywhere in the country. Currently about half the states have minimum wage at or below federal level, (where the state is below federal is the minimum actually paid) without a federal level most of those states would have a lower minimum wage. Anytime a job pays minimum wage you should assume they would pay less if they could.

    So to answer your question, many states would happily let companies fuck their citizens, the fed is there to apply a tiny bit of spit to makes things more comfortable.

  • Dammit, I have those. Now I need to find enough beetles to fill it. Do you know how long that is going to take?

  • Nah things like this just come to me, kinda like intrusive thoughts, then they rattle around until I tell someone.

    One of the few things I have morals about is that you do not fuck with peoples food.

  • Excuse me.

  • 18, I had plans in place just needed to get some things in order, then my older brother killed himself, a few years later another brother killed himself so now plans are pushed back and I'm really trying to figure things out. Life happened, got married had a child. Had to keep shit together, new plan in place wife and child will be ok so time to go at 40.youngest brother commits suicide 2 weeks before my 40th birthday. I ended up getting diagnosed as bipolar at 40, and autistic at 50, life makes a lot more sense now but fuck if it hasn't been a ride.

    No one ever looks in pepper grinders until they are empty, you could put a decent amount of dead beetles in one and the owner never even know.

  • Cool, Missouri is in the bad lands, but it looks like we will have to go back to shooting Mormons.

    Executive order 44 stated, "Mormons must be executed, or driven from the state " it was signed in 1838 and revoked in 1976.

  • No you don't.

    Hundreds of companies are owned by foreign owners.

  • Yeah but you don't need american citizenship to do that they will sell out to anyone.

  • When I was a kid I went through the boxes that held all the family photos and threw away the ones of me, there is now very little physical evidence I existed at all up in till the mid 90s.

  • The way I avoided home work in the 80s was not do it and not care about the repercussion, though I did drop out at 16 and get my GED.

  • Going by votes in the last election 25% of Americans care and 25% think what ever it is its cool.

  • Here at Apple we are different, not better just different.

  • Zulu The light horsemen Charge of the light brigade

    Only movies I have willingly watched more than once.

  • Go to church parking lots in early summer and put them in people's back seats, you will have to take some zucchini out to make room though.

  • It's the only "cool" book the rest is boring nonsense.

    The only people I have ever heard qout revelations, are nutters, and people trying to get money. It reads like biblical fanfic.
