I think Trump leads in Florida by like 8 points according to recent polls..?

"Alright Mr. Kelpie, get ready, we're going to wheelie another ledge."

Post the Flintstones image, you coward!

Idk, the crowd was cheering for him. Think he just doesn't have a grasp on what the average person thinks.

I find it hilarious whenever I call them that they start wailing about homophobia, lol. Nobody insulted Eva Braun for sucking some guy off, the problem was that it was literally Hitler.

Very few small mom and pop shops might need to raise prices, many of them already pay decent wages far above the minimum actually, but corporate restaurants and chains like McDonalds can absolutely afford $15 an hour without raising prices because they already pay above that amount in other places. There is already the assumption that if McDonalds could raise their prices then they would. What they pay their staff isn't a factor in the equation unless they were close to net zero or below, but unlikely because McDonalds makes Billions in Net Revenue annually in the USA alone. If the corporation decided it would be more profitable to close lower traffic operations in small towns then that would be a good thing for local restaurants.

If this sort of idea really hurt the small times more than the corpos wouldn't be fighting tooth and nail to stop it from happening using lobbying groups.

Local laws I assume.

None of them have language beyond associating a small number of specific sounds or words to objects or events but I would bet my legs just above the knee down that Dolphins monologue "Squee-aww" when they spot a scuba diver. Dogs definitely daydream about you calling their name when you're away for a long time. If they couldn't in some way internalize the call then they would not remember it.

EDIT: To add onto my claim that they don't have language beyond a certain level, that's what we've been able to prove so far. We know that some of the smarter animals, such as dolphins, crows, and gorillas can understand quite a few words with daily training and even use and pass down taught language to limited capacity, but the longest experiments for complex languages with these animals have all resulted in "failure" to teach them or learn from them to the extent of being able to have conversations or form complex statements.

Alternative fix: make the minimum wage an actual minimum wage regardless of tips. Let the market sort itself out from there.

But their employer isn't paying them minimum wage, regardless.

I used sucking the cock of dictators as an insult. Classic hexbear pos to remove all context to find some ground to shakily stand on.

You dont need to be male or even gay to suck cock, $20 is $20.

To equate voting DNC to supporting genocide is disingenuous to its core.

I insult Hexbear at every opportunity, bunch of dictator cocksuckers they are.

Netanyahu: "Please stop withholding weapons and support, please seriously guys cut it out"

TIME Magazine: "Is Netanyahu dragging out the conflict for political benefit?"

Biden: "There is every reason for people to draw that conclusion."

Kamala Harris: "I will not be silent."

Hexbear: "Congress gives Netanyahu Standing Ovation, blood on hands of every US lawmaker, US President personally responsible for tens of thousands of deaths directly."

I guess but it doesn't really solve many problems. Much more importantly, every company should be held to strict standards by a democratic institution of laws.

For examples:

1. Both workers rights and pay rates need to be regulated to a bare minimum, because there will always be cases of some people (or groups of people) who try to abuse others and work around the rules. Example: Uber skirts employee benefits by not having "employees", large companies have "subsidiary companies", etc.
2. Even if a company of 500 people always look out for themselves and each other, they might still become a detriment to the larger society or hostile towards similar companies.

Having both tight regulatory bodies and strong union/cooperatives are fine, but regulation comes first imo.

But But But

It's made my job so much simpler! Obviously it can't do your whole job and you should never expect it to, but for simple tasks like generating a simple script or setting up an array it BLAH BLAH BLAH, get fucked AI Techbros lmao

Yeah absolutely, tear that company to a million pieces, but it would practically be a shorter list of common search engines that it can't be used on. Between Google, Brave, and Bing most other search engines are just built upon those three.

Put a little asterisk after that number, a lot of employees who earn tips can be paid even less.
