IMO by mid next season TR needs to get rid of 2 of the 3 of Nolasco, Milone and Santana.

Don't get me started on this. A "good" one bedroom condo in NYC costs between 800k and 1.2 million. Half of that gets you a near mansion in 90% of the country. (I do work in Vegas quite a bit and its unreal what you can get i.e. the down payment it would cost for a one bedroom condo (20%) in NYC could buy a 4-5 bedroom house, gated community with a pool for cash in Vegas. Stupid Minnesota, why do you have to be so freaking cold in the winter?!? If it wasn't that would be a perfect place to move to.

The problem with leaving it up to the states is we have seem time and time again that a lot of states are totally inept and frankly don't care about poor people (look at all the states trying to pass drug testing for welfare and other expensive programs that won't work) I think $10 nationwide ($400 a week) is the right amount for now, that still only works out to 20k a year, and major cities like NYC, Boston, LA, Seattle etc should be bumped to $15 an hour (tipped employees, maybe raise from $2.75 and hour to $4.50 an hour +tips?) Also I think companies should be required to give a minimum of 4 weeks paid maternity leave (and another 12 weeks of unpaid) and those are extremely small numbers on what I personally think they should be (6 months paid and 9 months unpaid)
-
I hear ya on that. $10 is prob a good middle ground as that is still only 21k a year.(I still have no idea how you can even try to send a kid to college on that salary, maybe you have a house etc, but $400 a week isn't much IMO) But current minimum wage works out to less than $300 a week, unreal.
-
just curious, where do you live? The majority of this country lives in metropolis areas like NYC, LA, Chicago etc where cost of living is significantly higher. Maybe $15 is too high for some rural areas, but it absolutely should be the minimum in large cities.
-
I agree with you there re: the part time vs full time etc.

He made a major league paycheck for a day, I'm sure he isn't too heartbroken

Don't let 7 year olds use the Internet? Don't let them do web searches?
-
I think the following movies should be shown to high school freshman for educational purposes: Kids requiem for a dream trainspotting (a bit lighter)
-
That is such a losing battle though. The Internet and porn exist and anyone at least a bit tech savy can find it (even if they make it harder) It comes down to parenting at that point IMO to be more frank with kids these days regarding sex and what they may or may not stumble to online. My biggest worry isn't a child of mine viewing porn, but a child of mine taking some very stupid pictures of themselves and those getting sent out. Of course that is all easy to say not being a current parent etc

small businesses should pay their employees a livable wage. If they can't then they should go out of business. Capitalism, homie.

I was in a McDonalds last week for the first time in years seemingly, they had an ad up saying "management positions being hired now, make 26k-52k a year" I can't even imagine how a person could live on that, especially with a family, and that doesn't even go into the fact that the non managers are making half of that at 13k-16k a year or so on minimum wage. $15 is the bare minimum it should be raised to. Also, 2 year schools should be free for qualified people "low to middle income" higher income can go for a small fee.
-
that would be where the "rest of team" 2-49 came from
