Yeah, the headline is true but wages need to rise to do anything about it, short of UBI which I personally think is unlikely in the US. I think we obviously need a new minimum wage that a person can actually live on, but I would take it a step further. I think it should be tied to market cap. In other words, the bigger the corporation, the higher their minimum wage bracket becomes. This would give some advantage to small, community owned businesses too.

This should sound preposterous but we've got diaper don over here threatening to do the same thing to another country so I guess now's the time to move the doomsday clock up another second.

Not much more than if the test was successful. The fuel would have burned either way.

Seems overdue but I notice they don't mention how likely it is to pass. I'll be pleasantly surprised if this becomes law.

You should have them really show their commitment by having them sign up for foster kids at the same time as registering this hot take.

I kinda like escape goat.

I'm certain it was 100% just like the weird al biography.

I believe what you are looking for is called the unbearable weight of massive talent.

Why? A majority of people support doing more to address climate change but the powers that be don't represent the interests of anyone except the people that are actively trying to make it worse.

People that do this are inviting you to join the call. Announce yourself and ask what the caller is wearing.

They are literally strapped to enough explosives to kill them many times over. It may not require any skill, but it is certainly dangerous.

 

 
 

This guy was on the Belgium float in the NATO parade in Norfolk today. He looks like he was celebrating another holiday too.

 

I love looking at these two.
