  • How I know you’ve never been poor, you haven’t waited at a pay line for you cash payout for a days work.

    I literally have. At two separate jobs.

    Garnished wages are worked out with your employer's HR, to answer your second question

  • I know that reading the PDF on that page requires SO many words, but I assure you that the health care they give is just normal health care, as you can see by actually reading the PDF.

    Also I'm not sure what you mean by "agree with those directives" but I don't give a fuck one way or the other about the hospital, I just know that they're a normal hospital doing normal hospital shit.

    Nothing in this case had jack shit to do with the hospital being Mercy hospital.

    Perhaps if you have an axe to grind, do it somewhere that doesn't involve an Ohioan talking about things in Ohio.

  • Worth noting that, hilariously, no one gave him a copy of Mein Kampf. The person gave him a book on Hitler's speeches, and Trump remembers this as his "Jewish friend giving him "Mein Kampf" because he's a fucking idiot.

  • 1.1 million Americans is less than 1/2 of 1% of the population, which is my entire point - the market is very much setting the price for their labor.

    Of those 1.1 million, 500k are between 16 and 24 years old - I e. These are not their eventual careers, and the job is shit work no one wants. These are exactly who minimum wage laws should protect, and I agree it should be higher, but your extrapolation that markets cannot dictate wages is objectively false.

    Ideally, minimum wage would serve to address the externality of jobs that are not competitive in the marketplace of wages, which is nominally what they do now, but I think both of us would agree they do a poor job of that.

  • . If older generations were ‘dumb’ and spent more, they would be the ones targeted.

    You can see this playing out now in the grifting ecosystem built around Trump and the "alternative news" crowd. Again, this targets people with set opinions, seeking to double down on them.

    The claim here is that companies are specifically aiming to shape opinions rather than exploit existing ones.

    I think this is a meaningful difference

  • His immigration stance is bipartisan. Bernie himself wants to limit immigration. I'm a radical immigration proponent (wanna be a citizen and land in USA soil, I'd make you a citizen), but the reality is my opinion is deeply unpopular.

    Sadly, protectionism is rampant in the Democratic party.

    Israel is similarly bipartisan and not hard-right at all. 61% of Democrat voters support Biden's Israel stance, even if they think Israel is being too aggressive

    I absolutely guarantee you his constituents are higher than national average in favor of the policies he is stating.
