@Angelgz2,

Welcome back Angel, you are a breath of air, if I may quote you:

Quote:

Media has the power to exaggerate a republican's fault and downplay a democrat's apparent moral deficiencies. Unfortunately the young generation today are so brainwashed by our liberal education system leading to their tendencies to believe everything their hear in the news -- as long as the comment disparages republicans, vilifies the rich and sympathizes the poor. The increased unwillingness of these so-called "progressives" to have a real, educated, and civil conversion with a conservative is evidence that they are not as "progressive" as they wanted to believe. Rather, it's evidence that these "progressive" individuals are the cause of today's divisive society, which, is further exemplified by their hostile attitude towards any conservatives by generalizing the latter as "fascists", "racists", or "homophobes"

@ascribbler,

Ironically, it's back to Grade 1 little school comprehension class for the down voters and the op.

Sit up straight and raise your hand for permission to speak.

@ascribbler -- thanks, been away since I got another promotion at work. That's 2 promotions within 3 years whereas the most I know don't even get 1 after working 10 years. Liberals should try to learn that if your boss likes the work you do you don't have to whine to get a raise / promotion. And mind you I am DEFINITELY a minority here at my company.

So disappointing... Out of three replies from presumably "liberals" only one focused on the issue but yet, makes absolutely no sense. It is as simple as why McDonald's shouldn't charge $100 for a burger. There's no intricate mathematics or whatever advanced theory that liberals want to believe to be true. Should just move to Debate.org; at least the replies are more intelligent there.

Nope the only jerk here is you. If you don't have anything intelligent, or a valid counter argument, you should shut your hole instead of behaving like a 12 year old.

...sound like fascist to me

Here's something educational for you. Perhaps if you are not so ignorant you could earn a higher wage without whining:

"Fascism /ˈfæʃɪzəm/ is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and control of industry and commerce, that came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe."

Apparently those who disagrees with you is either a "fascist" or a "jerk", like many liberals who LOVES to suppress disagreements without any thing to back their disagreements. You wanna control the industry and force small business owners to pay $15 regardless with no regard to market forces. The only fascist here is YOU.

If people want $15/hr for flipping burgers or directing me to the proper isle for the product I'm looking for, then they are crazy.

The Isle of Man? The Isle of Wight? The Isle of Skye?

@Angelgz2,

The things that you find reprehensible in left wing political supporters were displayed in your support of the right wing cant that I quoted.

Aisle wager no economists think that consumer spending multipliers on wage increases to low income households will not boost economic growth.

So why don't you want those that are struggling to be better off?

But the CEO of McDonald's works hard for his hundred plus million a year, right????? And the people who actually make something or provide services to you deserve low wages and your contempt.

You don't think he does? How much work does it take to run a multi-billion/multi-national company? Do you think he works less than 40 hours a week?

Contempt? Have you ever worked fast-food? I have and I can promise you that flipping burgers, which they don't do at most of these places any more, it's all timed on a conveyor belt(BK) or timed with a double sided cooking grill(McD), so no skills are involved other than equal placement of the patties. There are already machines on the market that can cook a burger from start to finish to include putting on all the fixings, places like McD's have had a machine that can cook the fries from start to finish, it only takes a person to put them in the container that is going to the customer. I don't have contempt for the workers, I have a realistic understanding of what it takes to do their jobs and the skill level required to do it and it isn't a skill set that is worth $15hr. The only thing in the future saving some of these jobs will be the customer wanting a person to interact with and not a machine, which at this point can do every aspect of the fast-food industry from taking orders to actually making all of the food.

Any comment on what was actually written or just picking at spelling errors?

My uncle was an SF fab since about 1940 and had a huge collection of paperback novels and US/British magazines. I mean huge. I was a very early reader as a child and grew up on Heinlein, Asimov, Blish, Clarke, and many more from ages about 8 to 20. I read "Starship Troopers" in around 1962 when I was 10, and it just seemed like a straightforward space-war story. As I grew older I began to find the experience of reading Heinlein a bit like being trapped in a plane next to a very talkative, confident, and patronizing American conservative of the libertarian persuasion.
