• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

30$ per hour minimum wage is the floor

"The poor you will always have with you."

The only natural outcome of a $30 minimum wage is that everyone else's salary also increases, and the price of goods go up in proportion.

and $30 is yesterday's $10. The only net change is that savings are worth much less, and the poor will still be poor.

I've been really in to drinking tea lately. I'm kind of burned out on coffee and the new place I work keeps tea stocked in the kitchen. I'll get a couple of bags of Lipton and put them in a 16 oz cup with hot water and sip on it. Once I'm about halfway done I go get some ice from the ice machine and finish it off cold. I've really enjoyed it

like in anything, moderation is key.

Just found out that too much iced tea was causing my kidney stones. I was on a half-gallon a day habit.
 
Homes...... why do you always post such bullshit?

That isn't for real. Secondly, anyone aligned with that thinking should have the shit beat out of them.
She running for Congress in Washington state.

People should have the shit beat out of them for getting paid a livable wage?
 
How many employees do you have?

I have 24 or 25
It doesn’t matter how many employees a company has.

If a company doesn’t pay a livable wage of 30+$/hr then that business obviously doesn’t want to actually do business that badly. A company’s employees come first, period, end of story.

Companies only exist because of capitalism. There should be no companies. We should all be employees of the state.

Spot on.

This rube above is talking about Adam Smith like he didn’t end up with all his ideas debunked and business owners being more important than the rest of society.

Next he is going to reply to your joke suggesting businesses don’t exist in socialist or communist economies. He is just so lost.
