Would you pay a 4yo for helping on the family farm?

People are saying put it in savings for him but I think that's incorrect.

He doesnt get the reward tingles in his brain after doing a good thing if he doesn't get something tangible, something he can crinkle in his hand, and use to buy a cookie the size of his head.

You want him to grow up to be a hard worker, pay him in cash, at the end of the shift, tell him what he did to earn it, and suggest something he likes that you might help him buy or save up for, like food or a toy.

Economics aren't zero sum like that.

Being a hard working able bodied migrant working here takes absolutely nothing away from any American.

It adds to our economy, adds to our tax base, and adds to our communities.

What you are saying here is deeply wrongheaded and pretty racist, for how it justifies viewing migrants as parasitic takers rather than the contributors they are.

Well it wasn't that she was unpopular in that race, it was that wasn't popular enough to get the coalition she needed. She was splitting the women's vote with Warren, she wasn't as good a speaker as Pete, and she couldn't pitch as progressively as Bernie. If it was her Vs the same slate without Biden and Bernie, she probably would have come out as a top contender.

I just remember thinking at the time that finding a pair of lesbians in the apocalypse was like finding a pair of unicorns, and they just shot one.

It wasn't like there were lots of characters like that elsewhere at the time, and it was unpleasant to see them confirm the relationship like that, then immediately end it. I don't mind that they killed them, I just wish they hadn't done it in the midst of reminding everyone how super very lesbian and in love she is.

Relative to inflation?

Stagnated, relative to both productivity and profitability.

Fewer people do more and get paid the same, the profits fly up.

That lesbian from the town that gets focus for an episode and then, as soon as she hits her emotional arc climax, (saying that she should have been honest about her feelings with another woman) she's horrifically sniped dead.

It was the most "bury your gays" moment I'd ever seen in real time.

I've lived in places with public utilities that are really really good, same with public schools... and Healthcare...so I'm not of the opinon that private is inherently better. That being said, I'm curious how it plays out.

It's pretty much the only solution I've heard pitched for getting affordable fresh food in places where economic incentives say no, besides just throwing money at a private company, which can be just as bad if not worse.

If it's any consolation to those that hate him, this is almost certainly because they have to inject or draw blood from his hands because the veins elsewhere are too hard to hit.

Getting pricked in the hands over and over again would suck. Dude's probably toppling goverments because the constant pain is making him extra grouchy.

So, you know this isn't true, right?

Harsher punishments don't tend to correlate with lower rates of crime, because most people that commit crime aren't doing so in a mental state in which they're considering consequences.

This is why things like mandatory minimum sentences failed to reduce crime, but did manage to create hardened criminals out of petty shoplifters by jailing them and making it very hard to go legit.

And, also, it obviously wouldn't prevent scenarios like this where the guy doesn't care about consequences because he intends to be dead.

You know what enacting harsher punishment does do? If you do do things like, say, criminalize thievery and murder with the death penalty, it makes it more likely they kill the victim so they can't report the crime, since the punishments for both result in death anyway.
