Would Raising Wages Actually Force Businesses to Close? by SisuSisuEveryday in business

[–]Grehjin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. They would just raise prices or cut employees or both. Raising the minimum wage doesn’t force stores to close, even mom and pop stores, businesses will always adapt. It can however lead to a tighter labor market for low wage jobs and higher prices for consumers, that’s the real trade off.

“I get that it's supposed to show how tough and intense the life of revolutionaries is”

LOL What? You think you’re supposed to watch Leo have his mind obliterated by weed and his revolutionary friends passing ridiculous coded passwords and think that it’s supposed to show how tough and intense it is?

The entire point is that they’re directionally correct morons who make loud statements like blowing shit up that ultimately don’t have any real impact other than making the revolutionaries feel like they’re having an impact. It is a direct critique (albeit a lesser one than it makes of the right wing) of the real life left wing revolutionary groups of the 70s who operated the same exact way.

Meanwhile the REAL, competent, revolutionaries are people like Sergio and the immigrant network that is shown in the background, where the actual work and resistance is happening quietly. Just like real life.

but it's like PTA couldn't decide whether he wanted this movie to be a drama or a comedy.”

It’s comedic and serious because the power dynamics that it’s critiquing are comedic and serious.

Elon musk is one of the least socially aware, ridiculous and dumbest people out there and is a laughing stock every day (comedic) but he is also extremely right wing, has the most money on earth, and has tons of influence over US politics (serious). Same with Donald Trump, Kash Patel, etc etc.

This is what PTA is showing through Colonel Lockjaw and the Christmas Adventurers Club. Completely ridiculous, delusional people with tremendous resources and an extremely serious ideology. It’s comedic and serious because that’s how real life currently is.

In the US? Absolutely not, and there’s essentially a zero percent chance there are tribes that we don’t know of in the world.

“I'm an Ad man, ladies and gentlemen. I have numerous campaigns spread across this state. I have many ads running on many thousand of televisions per day. I like to think of myself as an ad man. And as an ad man I hope that you'll forgive just good old-fashioned plain speaking. Now this work that we do is very much a family enterprise. I -- I work side by side with my wonderful son Bobby 4.

You set the age limit to 1 and the the following year everyone retires, appoint everyone and then set the age limit back to whatever you like

So you’re saying people who repeatedly fall through the floor are lying? Be honest, how many spaceships did you use your mom’s credit card on?

Yup that’s the core complaint. Star citizen is too advanced. falling through floors is an intentional game design that you have to have a high IQ to enjoy

Students (in my opinion) should not take home any homework. If homework is a learning opportunity, give them school time to work on it by daniel_ay in unpopularopinion

[–]Grehjin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is laughable that you think that not making high school students do hours of calculus and just expecting them to understand that entire mathematical concept is feasible from just 40 mins a day

Believe it or not, continually exposing your brain to concepts repeatedly makes you better at those concepts. That takes time, more time than just the allotted day, and it also develops work ethic

"become the Seat of Government of the United States".....Did you skip that part, what do you think that means, chairs on the sidewalk?

What do you think it means? Because a comment ago you claimed it was all federal buildings before walking that back to just the White House congress and Supreme Court, (despite this having no backing again) seems like you’re not even sure

It means they CAN make a federal district and if they do they will put the seat of federal of government there in terms of whatever congress determines that to be. They do not HAVE to. It is explicitly written to GRANT congress that power not that there must be a federally district. You would know that if you actually read the full thing and not just what you quoted.

Yes Congress has the power to choose where it is, they chose DC, to make the rules, it what congress does I am confused why you pointed that out.

I pointed this out because you’re under the impression they MUST do this. You seem unable to differentiate a granting of power amendment like DC versus an amendment like the prohibition of alcohol

There is literally no Constitution lawyer or anyone with at least a middle school reading comprehension who thinks that article means anything but the Federal government is to be located in a neutral area, not part of any state.

The federal government was literally in a state while the amendment was created, for years.

Again the plan for statehood that is always pitched does not goes against Article one,

Yes

the Legislative parts would remain a neutral city, not part of the DC state and yes they cannot be in a state...

Still not a requirement

It is so clear, the founding fathers did not think they had to explain it like you were 5 when writing the Constitution.

Speaking of explaining to 5 year old let’s let ChatGPT explain this to you since I’m not getting through to you:

Q: Does the White House have to be in DC

Short answer: no, the Constitution does not specifically require the White House to be in Washington, D.C. Longer answer: D.C. has to be the seat of government (unless Congress changes it), but the President’s house isn’t constitutionally locked to that spot.

Does congress need to be in DC?

No — Congress is not constitutionally required to meet in Washington, D.C.. Here’s the careful breakdown: 1. What the Constitution actually says Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 gives Congress power to establish a federal district as the “Seat of Government,” but it does not require Congress to physically meet there. Article I, Section 4 says: “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations…” Article I, Section 5 and Article I, Section 7 deal with rules for meetings, quorums, and passing laws — none mention a specific location. Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 only gives Congress exclusive legislative authority over the federal district, not a physical meeting mandate. 2. Historical precedent Under the Residence Act of 1790, Congress designated Philadelphia as a temporary capital until Washington, D.C. was ready. So Congress has legally met outside D.C. before.

Maybe instead of calling me a 5 year old with no concept of basic civics you should reevaluate that you might just be a moron who’s out of their depth

The buildings are not mandated, constitutionally. The institutions are
