- Comment on A new tool exposes the $1.7 billion union-busting industry. You can search every law firm, consultant, and individual attorney 5 hours ago:
The industry is a LOT bigger than that, there’s a huge amount of governmental union squashing, all with money provided by PACs. These are international businesses with more resources than, well, anything on Earth.
Recall that workers are the largest “expense” of most companies, so they will devote the maximum amount of resources to squash higher pay (and replace those workers with robots/AI ASAP, in addition, of course).
- Comment on Fuckin CEO's and billionaires gotta go 9 hours ago:
feeding them and keeping them in that condition.
The enabler is not keeping them in that condition. The 600-pounder is keeping themselves in that condition through the choices they make every day. Should that enabler leave… another will take their place. Because many people feel gratification from caring for others, and feeding those we love is a part of being human, it’s as natural as feeding ourselves.
You can find many 400 pounders and up on social media, still caring for themselves without an enabler. They get there all by themselves through their choices. Perhaps they’ll get to 600 pounds some day… but to blame the enabler, the person who cares for them, is madness. The blame lies with the person consuming 10,000 calories a day, you can’t get to 600 pounds by making a few bad choices. It’s YEARS of daily bad choices, and they made those decisions.

You announcing your anger over TLDR guarantees TLDR. You have a big red button on your head that that says “press me”. Metaphorically speaking.
As to what you posted, I didn’t read it. Too long.
Haha! Not really. Milquetoast, you need an editor… unfortunately, part of the editor’s job is to tell you “TLDR”, so you’ll tell them to fuck off, so now you don’t have an editor and here we are.
- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 1 day ago:
They only work a few months a year. For example, in USA they are only in session a few days until November, with all of October off.
Have you ever watched them in session? Even when they’re “working” it’s like 90% dead time, moving at a snail’s pace.
What other job pays almost 200K a year, with half of the year off, the very best of health care included, and you can take time off whenever you’d like? Months! …and that job ensures you’ll always be able to out-perform the very best with your “insightful” stock trading?.. and you can appoint your husband as the “ambassador of Bermuda”, and travel to Bermuda on the taxpayer’s dime?
The Democrats are swimming in this shit just like “The Nazis”. Just look at them. Revolting trash, the lot.
I vote, you should vote… but never forget, they are contemptuous vipers who will backstab you and everyone standing with you without a second thought. They won’t even remember your name.

- Comment on If you were looking for one image that explains the american economy, this would be it 3 days ago:
In the 1950s, union membership in USA was almost 50%.
Today, it’s less than 10%, and most of that is police and federal employees.
Remember this every time our “labor party” talks about falling wages and other worker issues. They’ve held office for DECADES, look at the results.
The Democratic party leadership has been sold out for 70 years. They allow a few “socialist” representatives to appeal to the masses as the face of the DNC; that is bait. As the Democrats use progressive candidates, the Republican party uses the Democrats for the exact same purpose; it’s a symbiotic relationship with guaranteed billions for the “losing” party and more billions for the “winning” party cyclically.
The platform for bOtH pArTiEs is nothing more than a lip service for voters; that is never their actual objective. For example, government doesn’t get smaller when Rs are in office, and workers don’t make more money when Ds are in office. There is no winner but them. What is their actual objective? Money. Just look, they don’t bother to hide it.
Good cop/bad cop and bait and switch, every term, every party, a perfect machine that is working exactly as designed.
- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 3 days ago:
The federal minimum wage is $7.25.
… and many are paid much, much less than that, like working prisoners, making less than a dollar an hour.
… and also many farm workers are paid much, much less than federal minimum.
Millions of people. The more you look, the more people you will find making laughable wages.

I’m not evangelical, and what I say isn’t evangelical.
Please learn about logical fallacies and stop publicly embarrassing yourself (and me, you make me wince with your ridiculous arguments).
- Appeal to authority. The Pope is no authority about Heaven in any way. There is no larger group of deviant lunatics in history than Popes. Please educate yourself.
This is your first lie.
- Appeal to majority. Catholicism being the majority religion means absolutely nothing. For example, the majority of people on Earth aren’t Catholic… that doesn’t mean they are right. So, the numbers have no bearing. Even Jesus says they don’t… repeatedly.
This is your second lie.
- Straw man. To follow it up, you spend a paragraph imagining who I am, and what my argument could be. You know absolutely nothing and your assumptions are wrong.
This is your third lie.
GOD says He hates liars. Jesus says He hates liars. In the Bible. Your opinion is without value.
*These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.* ~Proverbs 6:16-19
This is your fourth lie.
You are wrong by the the laws of logic, and you are wrong by the Word of God.
Using the Pope as an authority on Heaven is, frankly, ridiculous and embarrassing; you should be ashamed of yourself. You are even wrong by the examples of history.
You can’t possibly be more wrong. Good day.

You’re wrong, according to Bible itself, repeatedly throughout. Anyone who’s read it knows your wrong.
I have 12 years of Christian study and don’t care if you took a college course.
I’ll cite Matthew 25:46, too. It says “eternal punishment” for a reason (and also John 3:18 of course)… and “the righteous” is clearly defined elsewhere… also, Isaiah 66:24, Matthew 13:50, Mark 9:42, Luke 13:3 and 16:23, 2 Thessalonians 1:9, Revelation 21:8, and on and on.
Your position is indisputably wrong and not established in the Bible at all. Re Aquinas… he has no authority in this discussion, as His words aren’t the Word of God as defined in the Bible.
Thank you for making up imaginary claims about my response, as this clearly shows you’re not really interested in the truth as defined by the King James Bible. All of your assumptions about me are wrong, and you are wrong.
If you consider this a waste of time, be silent. I enjoy it.

No. Only in evangelicalism.
False, not only in evangelicalism. The words of Jesus Christ disagree with you. Do you need me to quote the “Narrow Gate” to you? You should be very familiar with it if you’ve read the Bible.
- Comment on Nice Going Buddy 5 days ago:
Sure they do! That’s because they’ve become more moderate over the centuries in their long decline since The Great Mortality. This allows them to continue their parasitic ways in a secular society.
However, they spent many more centuries claiming the exact opposite, because the Bible says most will burn in Hell. Repeatedly. Throughout.

- Comment on Wages never caught up with costs 1 week ago:
It’s not hard to expose.
There’s a reason that wages have stagnated. Our political parties are paid to keep it that way, and very well. Companies have discovered that you can “donate” to the parties in power, and in return just enough Democrats will oppose higher minimum wage, or just enough Republicans will vote for the “tax incentives” to build your new facility.
Both will abandon their own “principles” and work against their own constituents, and this is why the rest of the world can have universal healthcare and we can’t manage it; the rest of the world can pay much better wages for their baseline workers and we just can’t quite make it.
Look at the worker benefits for EU nations. Poland now pays almost as much as the USA (with much lower costs) and working benefits that most US workers can’t even dream of (universal healthcare, maternity leave, yearly paid vacation, and more).
The FED sees to it that inflation continues to outstrip wages, as that’s what the Fed is for. That’s why they exist.

- Comment on Dominos using AI for ads. 1 week ago:
AI that “looks real” should be, in my opinion, clearly labeled as such. A little tag in the corner.
They’ve already gotten away with so much for so long, for example the advertisement burger is a prop that looks much different than an actual burger. All of this is deceitful.

I’ve never bothered reading or watching anything about them, I don’t know they’re horrible because I don’t pay attention to such drivel… I don’t even know what they all look like.
I watch youtube every day… just absolutely nothing about them. I’m sure there are millions of people that are also ambivalent

- Comment on "No precedent in American history!" NYT would have defended child labor. 2 weeks ago:
Typically Economists can look at past events to predict what an upcoming event would look like. But there’s literally nothing close to this that’s ever taken place so while they can all guess it’s literally just that, a guess.
They can still look at past events to predict the upcoming event; we have scores of examples and generations of data for other nations all over the world. It’s been done, many times. It’s not magic.

We have generations of data from countries all over the world with universal healthcare. It costs the people less, undeniably; there’s zero benefit to for-profit private insurance… for people, anyway (not corporations).
I’m not positive, but I think USA is the last “western nation” without it. So… US taxpayers actually send billions to other nations all over the globe, all of which have better healthcare. Nice.
Even Mexico has universal healthcare, soon they’ll be trying to end American migration.
Oh my God, it just dawned on me. Trump was right… Mexico will pay for the wall! Trump’s lowering US citizen’s standard of living so that they will have flee over the border by the millions and viola! Wall.
Brilliant.
