If you’re a 30-something making minimum wage.. you have failed at life.

Steyn, Erickson, the especially brilliant Chuck Johnson with his huge scoop that Michael Brown likes the "weather."

You won't see bullshit like that on CNN and the rest of the lame streamers.

They all peddle the same level of hot takez that would make Stephen A. Smith embarassed.

 

Any laws against paying you absolutely zero?

 

You can make more money and still be a failure.

 

Professional, published troll is still a troll.

 

Great. That means there will be better jobs developing and marketing and installing and repairing technology even if the hardware is built in China. I'm all for progress and efficient markets. And if you have to pay more for a technician, I'm all for that, too.

 

She would no longer be your boss in that case.

 

This is fine, but the folks currently working at McDonalds are unlikely to get these jobs.

As an aside, do the entrance/exit gates/machines at automated parking lots seem to break down about once a week? I swear, I see them out of order all the time. Fixing those could be a reliable job in a big city.

 

How do they get fixed now? Is nobody doing that job?

 

Sure. But, I work on the theory that I can win that business.

I'd say it's a growing field, but then I don't see to many people actually working at the exit anymore, so maybe it's maxed out.

 

I'll have to find it later, but the NYT editorial supporting a $15/hour minimum wage was an embarrassment. I don't know how else to say it.

A $15/hour minimum wage would be disastrous for fast-food workers, or almost anyone else. It will cause job loss on a wide scale - job losses that would never come back.

 

As an aside, I'm not a big fan of the touch-screen restaurants in the Delta terminals at LaGuardia and Kennedy airports in terms of customer service. Very impersonal.

 

So did my mom. She did some retail jobs after high school, worked her way up to be a bookkeeper. Then she met my dad, got married and moved in with him 100 miles away, so she had to quit the bookkeeping job. Her boss actually offered to pay for her commuting costs because he loved having her work for him, but it would have taken a couple of hours of a commute each way, so she had to quit.

She went back to retail, gave birth to me, spent time working on a hospital cleaning staff, and had one bookkeeping job that was an absolute nightmare because her boss made George Steinbrenner look like a saint, eventually got back into retail and did some home health care work. Then she moved into human resources at one retail job and was doing fine until she had to take a year off for cancer treatment. Then she came back, and the HR job was gone, so she was put back in retail.

I guess my mom is a failure because she married my dad, had me, got fired by Satan and got cancer. Yep.
