Sounds like any other city government in Mexico. Viva La Revolucion!

That's what that was? The message never came up in my party. People thought it was a tribute to the 70s (50th Superbowl). Most of the conversations were on how fat and out of shape Beyonce looked. The hair was a mess too.

Climate change will happen. There is no policy being proposed that will make a difference. It's always been just a money grab. Another scam to redistribute the wealth.

Which proves that we turned the labor force into worthless cogs while the demand for leaders (the decision makers) became more valuable. We handed a share of the wages to robots, but required more competent CEO's to juggle the increasingly faster paced, global, market. The market did exactly what we expected it to do. Trying to manipulate the system creates predictable (and intentional) adjustments. IE; if you hand out welfare checks, companies can pay their employees less because more people are willing to accept the job as a supplement.

You also have to think about the robots splitting wages with humans. They require a larger upkeep cost than previous automation. So the labor force consists of the human plus equipment along with increased safety, environmental protection, insurance costs. The pie was split so many ways. This is what we mean when we say that the cost is passed on. Every new regulation cost gets pushed to either the consumer (occasionally) or the employee (mostly).

The solution is to cap a company's use of computers. We have to mandate a person/robot hiring ratio.

The income gap is one of the stupidest fake problems ever created. Whenever you ask anyone to explain why it's such an issue, the only response you'll get is that "It's been proven to be bad." (like global warming).

Flood the country with millions of people who can't take care of themselves. Elect a candidate promising to give everyone free **** Oppose voter ID laws. Anyone who thinks this isn't a brilliant strategy is fooling themselves.

Selling baby organs for profit: not a big deal Using fake credentials for undercover interview: Stone him! I would like to see him use the defense that he was a an undocumented reporter. A Dreamer. He's doing interviews no other journalist wants to do!

They were grown in a lab, not born, so the Chinese are trying to hide that fact.

I got this for a Hillary Supporter for Christmas.

Is it illegal to pay people to vote? Why isn't there a pay to vote program?

I have no problem with this, because it comes with the condition that they take classes and attend therapy. The government is actually paying people to learn how to be a decent human being (something not taught by their parents.) Of course, they could have just included the condition with their jail sentence, and the amount is ridiculous, but the idea isn't awful. People should be paid for their time (especially if they aren't willing). This is an extension of the idea that "it takes a village government."

Not sure how it's going to work if he wants to follow the European model where you have to qualify for University. Might be too discriminatory though. (stupid kids need degrees too!). I'm guessing it will be up to the student on how long they want to stay in school; 26 being the cut-off precedent set by Obamacare. (8 more years) But the part that caught my attention was the rant against Universities making too much profit. I think it has more to do with tearing down the system rather than providing a quality education. Like single payer, the goal is one National University to curb the cost.

The problem with capitalism is the uneven distribution of wealth. The problem with socialism is the lack of wealth to redistribute.

I would like to see the cost breakdown for crack and meth as well. Right now, there is a weed bubble that pushes the price up. When it bursts, I expect a run on more stable commodities, like alcohol.

So what Socialist regulation is causing the problems in Capitalism?

From what I've read (not that Bernie is doing a lot of explaining on how everyone is going to get all the free ****) -He's going to extend public school education through college. K - 20th grade There's going to be a few private universities that will be allowed to stay, while the rest will be transferred over to the government. So after you finish 12th grade, you attend 13th at the local university in your district; the same way you moved from middle school to high school. No applying, or choosing where to go. (unless you pay for it, like private school)

The way to get more black men to finish college is to segregate them? That's like putting a bunch of stoners in a basement together and expect them to discuss the dangers of weed.

Actually (like money), yes, there is an endless supply of jobs. Despite Gator's misunderstanding of the concept, raising the population does increase demand (which increases jobs), but as stated before, you run into problems. 1) You can satisfy the incresaed Demand without employing the entire increased population. 2)The skills of the immigrants may not match the jobs required. But most of all, it's easier to reap the benefits of the larger market simply by opening up trade rather than dealing with the hassle of immigration. With the consequence that they won't be able to vote Democrat -which is probably the real goal.

sortof... It's excessive supply drawing industries from outside the market into it, which doesn't really increase demand, merely shifting it, but within the closed system it does. IE; moving manufacturing back into the country by flooding the US with cheap illegal immigrants, which would return an unskilled labor demand that was moved to a foreign country. As a whole, it's not an ideal economic model, but the strategy does create jobs in China/India.

Why doesn't the government just use Macs? That should solve any compatibility concerns they have about security.

Economics is so complex that something that sounds really stupid can be true. Excessive supply of unskilled labor in 3rd world countries creates industries dependent on it. The idea is that there is always an equilibrium where a cheap supply of any good draws industries that can exploit it. Like a farmer using a tractor in Kansas, but illegal aliens in California.

The gun debate is essentially a parenting question; some choose to baby proof their house, while others teach their children not to act like idiots. Conservatives demand that they be allowed to protect themselves, while the Liberals are begging the government to make the world a safer place.
