I keep telling the wife that something doesn't make sense. It's like the second Trump is officially out of office the dems are starting to destroy each other when they should be all unified and ready to fuck us good.
Meh, I'm not sure I agree with that. We know the Germans were big into the occult and alien/interdimensional weird shit.
We know that the US recruited most of the Nazi engineers and researchers and created several think tanks (NASA included, the Germans really engineered the first man on the moon, they just did it on US soil).
There is no question that the Germans had some weird technology that the US wanted for their own.
Not to mention Back To The Future cam out in 1985, right after this CIA op
TikTokkers discover declassified 1983 CIA report investigating if people can leave their physical bodies to travel through space and time using Gateway Experience's low frequency sounds and relaxation techniques
- The CIA commissioned an Army study of the Gateway Experience in 1983
- The technique uses sounds tapes to manipulate brainwaves with a goal of creating an altered state of consciousness
- Practical uses of the technique include manifesting goals, converting energy to heal one's body, and even traveling across space and time, per the report
- The report was declassified by the CIA in 2003 and largely went unnoticed
- Nearly two decades later, the Gateway Experience is now receiving renewed attention after piquing the interest of TikTok users
- Over the past month dozens of users have recorded videos explaining the Gateway phenomenon and sharing their attempts to access it
First you have to separate the whining from the actual need. What I mean by that is I do think that anyone should be able to go to work, work an honest day for their employer and be able to support themselves but the key word their is honest.
I was raised (started at 12) working in convenience stores my mother managed after school and roofing for my uncle over the summer before entering into an apprenticeship and becoming a master electrician.
Every time I go in a gas station or fast food restaurant I leave disgusted. It now takes three millennials to do the job that one 13 year old did in 1990. Where's the work ethic? Convenience stores used to run efficiently with one employee most of the time now has three employees and it still takes longer than it should to get service. The kids entering the work force now are more concerned about their Twatter status than they are about investing in themselves and it shows.
Back when minimum wage was like $5 and hour I moved out at 17 and got my own place (with a room mate) making minimum wage. When I met my wife I was making barely more than minimum wage and that's when I got into an apprenticeship and decided to invest in myself.
For five years I went to school at night to become an expert in my craft and make a way for me and my family to enjoy "a living wage". I didn't get there by mistake. It took hard work, dedication and commitment. The same opportunities are still available today for anyone that wants them. More so actually as we can't seem to find people willing to work nowadays and my pay, over the last 5 years has gone up $10 an hour because of that.
The bottom line is it is not my job, your job, nor the governments to hand somebody a substantial wage. That is earned and it's earned by hard work and investing in one's self.
Exactly ... This problem doesn't get solved by raising minimum wage. I saw something in the news that said minimum wage should be $20 an hour if it had kept up with inflation but raising the minimum wage to $20 an hour would just put everyone in poverty.
The minimum wage hike is nothing more than lipstick on a pig.
You're only being an asshole by suggesting that little people are being greedy in their request for a living wage near where they have lived all their lives.
Do you think this is the place to dump problems and then refuse to discuss them rationally after?
From name calling to wanting rational discussion?
I thought my reason for "whatevering" your asshole comment was pretty fucking rational actually.
Indeed. I'm not familiar with it but I'm pretty sure Walmart and Amazon have government grants and stuff that have allowed them to dominate the market. I used to think FEMA camps with Walmart but now I'm thinking all these huge big box stores are soon (within 10 years) become government distribution centers that ration out whatever Jau Xiden and Xamel Tao decide we need.
Whatever ... I'm not making the case "that little people are being greedy in their request for a living wage" at all. The economy is fucked six ways from Sunday and this minimum wage hike is being portrayed as a way to fix it. A "living wage" as you put it.
That all sounds good in leftistville but that's not reality.
The reality is major employers will close 60% (at least) of their locations and probably develop a business model with far less employees that allows them the same profit margin. Put simply, the rich will still continue to get richer by employing less people.
In the meantime, the cost of living will go through the fucking roof. What good is a $15 an hour minimum wage when 2/3 of your family looses their job and a loaf of bread is $6, $8 or $10?
It'll be okay though, you'll get you're gubmint rations and these new centralized locations of services (formally known as grocery stores, department stores and gas stations) will be fully equipped to your gubmint rations as payment.
"Chinese leaders, if you know anything about Chinese history, it has always been the time when China has been victimized by the outer world is when they haven't been unified at home," -- Emperor Jau Xiden.
"So the central to vastly overstate it the central principle of Xi Jinping is that there must be a united, tightly controlled China."-- Emperor Jau Xiden
You can't edit the "Parley" but it's kind of a two fold experiment. I want to see if Gab is full of shit and the poster on Gab said they just posted the pic. Since it's been up for a few hours and Parler hasn't done anything about it, I figure somebody needs to report it as abusive.
So I ran across this post earlier on Gab : https://gab.com/GhostEzra/posts/105744664724533195
So I decided to put it to the test on Parler: https://parler.com/profile/Thankfulfortoday2/posts(details:details/details/19f79d60-514a-4f97-bb7c-a1c93a92f74e)?contentType=post
I need some of you pedes to report the post and lets see how long it takes for Parler to take it down because evidently someone on Gab claims that's what happened to them.
Time to find out whether Gab is just trying to blemish Parler's reputation or Parler actually is legit.
The article makes it sound like he was jabbing him with the barrel even ...
