Seattle continues efforts to kill jobs...

If you're using the Federal Reserve's "Inflation Calculator" it isn't fully complete. It doesn't take into account that things like home prices have outpaced inflation (even though it really should), as well as things like college tuition costs, which, again, have outpaced inflation. (Though, I'd argue that things like home prices and college tuition should really be factored in when someone is talking about inflation, even if the Fed disagrees.)

See. Now, I know you are either still a child or living off a trust fund and do not hold an occupation.

One person, living very frugally may get by on $15/hour.

A teenager saving for college, could never save enough.

A teenager saving for an old beater of a car couldn't save enough.

A single mother trying to support herself after an asshole got her pregnant and walked away wouldn't be able to get by.

What do you think the minimum wage should be?

I think it depends on the locality. What might work in Seattle doesn’t work in bum fuck South Carolina where I grew up.

For the third time what was the thought process that led you to post that tweet?

What did you think it would say/show/prove?

There’s a person running for office that thinks $15 minimum wage is not enough and that it should be $30. Not that I owe you any explanation at all.

Okay. And LaRouche wants to build an aqueduct to divert half the Mississippi to the Colorado.

For the fourth time what was the thought process that led you to post that tweet?

What did you think it would say/show/prove?

I was wondering your reaction to this tweet.

But why that tweet? Why not a LaRouche one?

And my reaction would say/show/prove what?

Should a magician reveal how all of their tricks are done?

LOL! You really do work hard to earn your kid moniker. I have a six year old that can better explain themselves.

I’m not trying to explain myself.

We all knew you couldn’t two days ago. But sometimes you just gotta let the dogs run it down.

So you were just trying to provoke a reaction...isn't that the very definition of trolling?

Social Media Was a C.E.O.’s Bullhorn, and How He Lured Women
Dan Price was applauded for paying a minimum salary of $70,000 at his Seattle company and criticizing corporate greed. The adulation helped to hide and enable his behavior.

Fixed.

NYT: Pay up for a subscription, bitch!

If the Seahawks keep this up all season, Seattle will probably kill some jobs.

So I'm not surprised; he was always far too sanctimonious to be a good dude. But my girlfriend was surprised... that it took the NYT this long to clue in. Apparently this has been an open secret on women' subreddits for years.

He's like so many of the young hotshots these days: a good idea (or two) along with a lot of character issues. He's kinda the flip side of the pharma bro.

I posted about him in the Pile thread at least a year ago.

Despite knowing about this guy ever since he made news about his minimum salary, I don’t recall seeing a photo of him until this week.

He looks exactly like the kind of guy who’d treat women that way.

To all of the people who hitched their wagon to this bullshiter

You still a big Rand Paul fan?

We all know where FF wants the invisible hand to be, and what he wants it to be doing.

Not so much.

Anyone who looks like a man looks exactly like the kind of guy who’d treat women that way. There’s a reason I was single throughout my 20s.
