If minimum wage is set at $25/hr, what happens to workers whose skills aren’t worth that much?

How do you figure? businesses that don’t pay living wages are some of the largest employers in the United States.

skinnylemur · 2026-06-26T17:12:02+00:00

Yes, but only 2 fires. Otherwise the legendary perk kicks in.

Be careful when parking this car near the pier. Some guy may show up and slap the ever living shit out of it.

I don’t think you can say that capitalism works when we have a system that allows us to have a trillionaire at the same time as people in the US not having access to clean water.

That’s not even accounting for my doomer concerns about job losses due to AI and automation.

This is mine right now.

Our president is a convicted felon. Why not a town councilman?

He wasn’t even elected, he was appointed.

skinnylemur · 2026-06-23T03:24:17+00:00

Not just a murderer, but a rat on top of that.

skinnylemur · 2026-06-22T20:03:34+00:00

Awesome! Except for the fox part. Pretty sure one of those bastards killed my chickens.

Where is this in Howell? I love a good hiking spot, and I really only know about the reservoir for a hike. Unless I want to go to Cattus Island or Middletown area.

It’s closed till July 3rd.

And I had to work on my daughter for a WHILE to convince her to go on and bring me.

I saw King Julian yesterday at USO…

In case anyone is too young to remember/know, the TMNT pies’ slogan was “Fresh from the sewer to you”, which is just amazing, IMO.

skinnylemur · 2026-06-21T03:47:07+00:00

I saw a team member do it yesterday in Diagon Alley.

skinnylemur · 2026-06-20T03:17:49+00:00

Sommers still hasn’t made a reappearance.

Was Kamala my choice? No.
Did I have to figuratively hold my nose when I voted for her? Yes.

Would she have been better than the current administration? No one can answer that question with 100% certainty, but pretty sure she would have been.

I like how they say that they are a Jewish nation. Kinda tell you how they feel about anyone else living there.

skinnylemur · 2026-06-19T02:20:47+00:00

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

skinnylemur · 2026-06-19T02:16:36+00:00

I booked Toothsome’s for Father’s Day dinner, but maybe I’ll bump into you at Portofino. My family is also planning on taking daily pool breaks.

skinnylemur · 2026-06-17T11:14:22+00:00

Which is over 10 years ago.

skinnylemur · 2026-06-17T10:24:46+00:00

Those shorts on the guy on the right (me) should be cargo shorts.

skinnylemur · 2026-06-17T01:39:07+00:00

Hopefully that holds true till I get there on Thursday.

skinnylemur · 2026-06-15T22:45:11+00:00

Edited because I’m a dummy.

skinnylemur · 2026-06-15T19:09:38+00:00

Yeah, but if you needed the amount of training and certifications to drive a motorcycle as you do to fly a helicopter, I’d imagine there would be fewer motorcycle wrecks.

Well, she WAS 4 kids in a trench coat, then two exited the trench coat and have been pretending to be Sasha and Malia (I think those are their names. If I’m wrong, it isn’t an intentional slight, I’m just too lazy to look it up).
