DC Tom Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 no way, I mean you can hang with your ilk but minions, underlings and stooges will get you stuff. How about cohorts? Were do they fit in?
Koko78 Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 How about cohorts? Were do they fit in? I think cohorts are above underlings and stooges, but below minions.
Rob's House Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 How about cohorts? Were do they fit in? They're a step below cronies and above ilk, all of which are on a plateau far beneath that of minions. Minions is where it's at.

Rob's House Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Well Rob if you are saying there are more factors to poverty than work ethic then I agree with you, even though that will reduce your social standing among your ilk. I think you misunderestimate my ilk. We're well aware that some level of free enterprise & enforceable property rights are prerequisite to the situation BF was describing. all cohorts are ilk but all ilk are not cohorts I won't be smoothed over by ilk, silk, a bedspread, or a quilt...
Koko78 Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 I won't be smoothed over by ilk, silk, a bedspread, or a quilt... Even if it's made from Egyptian cotton?
Azalin Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 They're a step below cronies and above ilk, all of which are on a plateau far beneath that of minions. Minions is where it's at. that all sounds reasonable, but where then to 'thralls' fit into the pecking order?
DC Tom Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 that all sounds reasonable, but where then to 'thralls' fit into the pecking order? A half-step above the morlocks.
....lybob Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 I think you misunderestimate my ilk. We're well aware that some level of free enterprise & enforceable property rights are prerequisite to the situation BF was describing. as long as you understand that when unemployment goes from 4% to 9% 15 million people didn't say !@#$ it I'd rather not work- and when average CEO pay goes from 40x the worker pay to 400x the workers pay they didn't just work 10xs harder I won't be smoothed over by ilk, silk, a bedspread, or a quilt... I think you need talc
3rdnlng Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Not you, you're more a sidekick. Daddy, is that you? It's me, Alex.
DC Tom Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Daddy, is that you? It's me, Alex. I heard about that on the radio this morning. They've come a long way from teaching kids to deal with giant canaries and hispanics.
....lybob Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 interesting data and salient to the later discussion in this thread (seems no one really cares much about political demographics which will likely shape policy for decades). the ben franklin quote doesn't apply because given your assumptions, only the top 60% did better. do we really want to consider the top 40% not poor? that would be admitting systemic defeat, wouldn't it. but what proof do you have that inflation is underreported? the argument rests on that premise. nope can't prove it - I could point you to shadow stats or the like, or show you what inflation would be at given pre 1980 or pre 1990 changes in how CPI was calculated, we could discuss the merits of substitution and how hamburger and soon a bowl of lentils is as good as a piece of steak but I can't prove it because inflation like beauty is in the eye of the beholder in charge. Not you, you're more a sidekick. is a remora a sidekick, hangs around sharks lives on tiny morsels of recognition errr meat debris
IDBillzFan Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 I heard about that on the radio this morning. They've come a long way from teaching kids to deal with giant canaries and hispanics. I couldn't help but notice that the new muppet has red skin. Or as Tim Graham calls it: Washington.

Something so poorly put together wouldn't be actually published somewhere.
