If I still live in MN......which seems unlikely at this point.
-
Now I want to know what you look like, I am a bad human being......
-
start now, eliminate medicaid, medicare, and farm subsidies (to name a few, but do it to all subsidies). Do it while we are all still working, as a start. That's where the idea germinated for me over 30 years ago.....eliminate subsidies, give everyone money for healthcare and education.
-
Really should have capitalized US, not LOOK. Some days I wonder how I survive at all...
-
Well, as you may recall, back some dozens of pages I suggested we just eliminate all subsidies, and everyone get a check every year into an account from the time they are born. That money can only be used for healthcare and education the first 18 years......and the money is invested in index funds until you are 18, at which point you get control (though probably not of all of the money). It's not a fully formed thought, but it would be much cheaper to administer than all the stuff we do now.
-
Every baby gets x percent of stock or something like that......we all just live off the value robots produce. It's one reason I have my 18 and almost 20 year old in the stock market now.....
-
I find you perfectly reasonable, when we talk, and don't assume bad things in each other's words. so, I'm glad your here to keep brock, me, and other from typing "ya, I agree" over an over. We can't learn and grow if we don't explore. So, ya, we totally agree on that last part of your post for sure.
-
Another logical fallacy, maybe. Are you saying we shouldn't fix things, because we can't fix all things? That's one of the great tricks in life. I think your idea of making all the stuff, but giving them the stuff to finish the cake is a good compromise for all involved. But, it does potentially create issues I am not considering right now. It's why laws aren't usually nuanced, and incidents on the edge tend to make us question good laws that are only "bad" a tiny, tiny, percent of the time.
-
given that not every christian religion agrees with your interpretation of that verse.......that contextual use might be. Not sure, really. I don't know that I would say that it is, but I can see where some would disagree. That's a pretty edge case, isn't it? Not at all like refusing to serve an entire class of people (that probably make up 5-7% of the population).
-
Not really. For example, magazines can refuse to take ads that are filled with hate speech......it is not the same thing at all.
-
Right, they have to LOOK at us!
-
No. Religion is a protected right in this country.
-
Well, we now know Craig's taste in men..... I don't know, I might be close to Corden now. We don't start from zero on this deal......
-
One of the great logical fallacies in the world is telling the person asking the question, they have to answer it first. We are saying there should be laws* against discrimination. You are saying it is ok to discriminate in what services you offer sometimes......so I asked, where is the line. *even our founding fathers thought there should be laws......even if all laws are evil somehow.
-
But the higher power gets to choose that we only eat if we work?
-
I am going with around $1000, on the theory that makes a very large difference......unfortunately, looks play a part in sales and other business relationships.....so there is economic value in this move.
-
You were the one asking us for a number....... btw, if jobs are growing Seattle, but slower, do we KNOW jobs are lost, or maybe is it just that they grow slower? Because that article you posted said they were growing slower.....
-
Hmmmmmm. At first I thought nothing. Then I thought, ya, I totally would spend money on that if it lasted forever. Not sure how much, would need to know the marginal return.
-
Like I said, where is the line on denying your services? It is ok to deny making them food, but not sit them and serve them? Where is the line, that's actually what I asked in that post.....
-
There were plenty of shops denying their services to homosexuals. Just like there are now with Muslims.....not at all a red herring.
-
I am down to only D&D for RPG......but even that is dead now for me.
-
documentary, I would be too curious about what people really think to miss that. Don't care about the fictional version at all, frankly.
-
What edition or game do you play?

How Does Carlos Quentin Fit In?
Mike Sixel replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
There are people who seem to think the team should go with guys in their 20s, who might have upside, rather than 34 year olds who haven't been healthy for 18 months. -
If the FREE MARKET says Wal Mart should be the only remaining retailer.....that's what you get. With or without wage laws. Wal Mart, as has been shown over and over, is actually bad for local economies, because wages are so low that the employees can't make a living wage (like they could under mom and pop shops when they owned them) so many of those people are on the tax rolls now. A great example of how lower wages are not necessarily good for anyone but the wealthy.
