What would be the point since these cities/states won't bother to follow the law anyway. They don't even check ID's. Next election, California should just move to a text message voting system. 1 phone, 1 vote!

Any job that requires desire would not be replaced by tech. By this I mean anything that involves doing something just because we want to do it; Invention. While a machine would be able to make ice-cream (or even find better ways to do it) it would have no desire to try putting bacon into it. Technology can replace cooks, but not chefs.

Sticking to economics: Governments (or a community leader) is needed to provide services that can benefit individuals without their contribution (freeloaders.) Let's start with the primary role of any government: mutual defense. People first gathered in groups to defend themselves from threats. This resulted in some members who were unable to fight being forced to contribute other resources to remain in the protected bubble. The argument against this is that individuals would just defend themselves, but that doesn't work because they would still reap the benefits of protection, living next to a well-armed group. Unfortunately this has taken a global consequence where the United states provides Military and Healthcare to entire world. While other nations reap the benefits of neglecting military spending and medical research, the cost of both is astronomical in the US. We are the world's police force and provide 4X more medical innovations than the rest of the world combined. It's the reason why universal healthcare and neglient military spending has spread so rapidly. They're freeloaders.

You're all assuming her gender.

It might be awhile. The Libs are still trying to get Clinton elected by blaming Putin.

Looks athletic on the move but doesn't have a burst. He'll be the last man off the line every play. Kyle Williams will be in the backfield before this guy gets out of his stance. I wonder if he can play linebacker.

My one and only experience with social media was 1 week of Myspace. This board is the only social media I currently partake.... Not surprisingly, my family and friends text me anything important. They keep me updated on what their facebook is saying to them; like a buffer. Everyone I know tells me they want to quit. This will be the smoking/addiction of our lifetime.

Bitcoin is like speculating on comic books or action figures. Right now they're hot, but it's only worth what a collector is willing to pay. At it's core, it's a pyramid scheme; only the early adopters get rich. The rest are just shuffling money around.

A gentleman's agreement that included breaking into the property? There was damage.

The real world analogy would be the business owner getting rid of the goat and buying another horse. The goat would then demand that he be treated like a horse, because he identifies as one.

Employee morale is a capital investment. So raising wages can increase production, the same way buying a more efficient MPG van can reduce shipping costs. You're still using the same capitalist system to run your business, even if it also gives you an excuse to be smug. Now try increasing everyone's wages regardless of their production/attitude (ie: a Union). I want to see a real profit sharing system survive for a long period of time. It doesn't even work in Farmer's markets.

They should also be in T-shirt and Jeans (with a beanie) to better blend in. Maybe even carry a mop and pretend to be custodians so Students won't know they're cops. Also adding the words "Super-Double-Extreme" to the "Gun-Free" zone signs will help.

The lines get blurry when liberals are fighting not for the right to abortions, but to force us to pay for it. The current liberal agenda has moved on from passive acceptance to pro-active enforcement. It's no longer about not caring what people do in the bedroom, they have to bake the cake and help them celebrate.

That's not a loss. Nothing is taken away. They just aren't able to GAIN more wages. The only reason an employee should be given a share of the profit is if they risk their own capital in building the company. Like investing in the stock.

Racist Trump supporter uses military-style death gun to murder clothing-optional plumber attempting water-pressure check.

His hands are average size. The rest of him is just X-large.

There is actually only one rule in golf. The entire handbook of current rules center around this one original rule. "Play Fair." A 4 stroke penalty for a 1" difference is not fair.

You're thinking classically liberal. Current liberals are against free speech, the 2nd Amendment, cultural appropriation, and the right of the individual to someone else's money.

I played in a Tournament with a guy who said that a player can place the ball anywhere within a club-head length from the mark. He also gave himself a gimme if the ball was within the flag-pole length away from the hole. I didn't really care. We all just got drunk

The Party of No. My state Senator has said that he will not vote yes on anyone other than Garland. I hate living in a Blue State.

All socialist programs are great at the beginning. I'm just hoping that they delay single-payer long enough so that I can be part of the gettin' instead of the givin' population. Socially Liberal = want a lot of free stuff. Fiscally Conservative = Don't want to pay for it. Makes sense now.

Phoebe and Joey have a highly philosophical debate on whether any act can be truly self-less. I just watched it on TBS. To paraphrase the Gator: If you bring in workers, jobs will surely follow. That is socialism.

So damaging the economy a lot is bad, but damaging it a little is good; if it makes us feel better about ourselves. Everything you're trying to improve with Minimum wage occurs naturally under Capitalism. The problem is that the conditions for the market adjustment are being suppressed by piles and piles of Socialist Central planning that is trying to fix a problem it created in the first place. Just let the wage go low enough to force the labor force to quit. Then the business will raise wages to draw them back. (or let interns and teenagers have the jobs). It's already happened in many industries; most people are already above the minimum. They are getting paid what they are worth.

Of course, every finite resource is subject to supply and demand; that's why I said it doesn't conform to "normal" behavior. ...and I'll let you try explaining elasticity to these bunch of numbnuts; we have pages and pages of economic theory explaining the idiocy of minimum wage and the exact same liberal rhetoric keeps rotating around. I've tried simplifying it, but then you'll get people like Drunkard who can't grasp that it's supposed to be nursery math.

There is a separate category for specific products that don't conform to normal economic behaviors of supply and demand. Gasoline is one of them. Others are food, water, electricity, healthcare... These are resources that people will buy regardless of price. It's also a reason why many governments say they should be allowed to take over that industry "for the good of the people"...
