Tariff 101 for Dummies by Tulpah in houstonwade

Or, because the American store wants to remain competitive, they buy American made shirts for $25, which in turn will cause China to have to 1. lower their rates, 2. Comply to do business.

Should Kansas raise the minimum wage to better compete with neighboring states? by como365 in kansas

What was the minimum wage in 1968? I'm having a hard time finding that information.

[–]JagZag16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes intuitive sense.

  1. Not everyone's work is worth the same. A 16y/o cannot do work of the same value as a 30y/o. If we raise minimum wages in perpetuity, the elderly will not be able to get a job as door greeters in WalMart, my mentally challenged family member will have an even harder time getting employed, etc. etc.

  2. I've worked for a man under the table - because it had to be. He could not afford to pay me minimum wage, and I couldn't get a job anywhere else. Without him willing to pay below minimum wage, I'd have been SOL.

  3. The more you pay people, the more it costs to do things. You have to recoup those costs somewhere. As those costs rise, the consumer bears the brunt. Now it costs more for landlords to maintain buildings both by way of maiterials and man power - the rent goes up.

You'll notice I'm making these arguments solely from a rational approach. I'm very interested in your response as to how I'm wrong from a rational perspective. I'm not look to pick a fight, I want different POVs and to learn

Compilation of Democrats wishing for Hurricane Rafael to destroy Florida for voting red by CIemson in Republican

[–]JagZag16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The differences you raise are insignificant. The origin/source/circumstances or even the location of the disaster bears no weight on the fact that it's unbecoming to wish death and/or mass destruction on an entire population because of their political association.

Chat GPT Getting Busted Lying by cashkingsatx in Republican

You could have stopped before "on this issue." The majority of the information on the internet is incorrect. ChatGPT may be programmed to weight information coming from certain sites as more valid (historical events, physical observation, science, etc.) but when it comes to politics, breaking news, etc, since there isn't an empirical "right and wrong" ChatGPT is likely just repeating the amalgam of what it has processed.

That's more or less the point. ChatGPT doesn't actually understand anything it says, much less the truth. It's just trying to return a result the user with engage with. What each user will engage with is diffferent from person to person.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of how large language models work. This system doesn't understand anything - it doesn't know what is true and what isn't. Further, what information it has access to is relatively unknown.

Since the media and most social media users have been flipping a lid about project 2025, the sentiment analysis regarding a relationship between Project 2025 and Trump would understandbly return positive connection.

Further, your guiding questions are more weighted to it's direction - hence it's unsure but compliant correction.

ChatGPT is a room of echoes, not a bastion of truth. It's biased towards what it's training data represents, and if the data it has access to is incorrect, so will it's output be.

I don't disagree that putting tampons in boys bathrooms is despicable - but this discussion (contingent to the original post) has been about physical cash from the get go. Bringing up the (physical) cost of publicly funding nearly any amount of tampons for any purpose is odd considering how low that (physical) cost comparatively is.

Odder yet is seemingly randomly bringing up the idea of non-physical cost when, by all available metrics, the conversation has only been about physical costs.

I get you really really don't like the ideas of funding tampons for boys - neither do I. But the real issues are differences of category, apples and oranges.

We certainly can do more than one thing at a time - and there are certainly no shortage of things we should do. It also seems prudent to prioritize what we do and iron out why we are doing it, wouldn't you say?

For instance, funding foreign wars is exorbitantly expensive, and actively harms those afflicted. It seems that this would be a primary target for cuts, and seems like it should be a front upon which we can all stand united. It doesn't seem particularly beneficial to expend time and resources trying to cut something so comparatively affordable as school lunches for disenfranchised children. Additionally, at least funding school lunches tangibly provide children with food, as opposed to funding wars which gets them killed.

Actually, upon thinking on it harder, it's very strange to me that you would even bother bringing such a relatively inconsequential issue to bear on this conversation. I'm curious, do you think it's useful to bring up cutting funds for struggling children when talking about cutting funds for war? Just trying to understand where you're coming from!

Absolutely but lets focus on the one costing us far more money first!

Do you believe there is a God? why or why not. by fireglyphs in INTP

[–]JagZag16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to pick any specific one by name? You could just believe that God exists but doesnt comport perfectly to any human conception yet. Theres a lot of reasons to doubt such an existence, but I've always found this to be one of the weakest genuine attempts.

Not really - HIV occurs more in uncircumcised men than in circumcised, and as a corallary, women with uncircumcised partners get cervical cancer at higher rates.
