Yes, I think it has to be. I like the lion but ideally you want an American animal plus it’s too easy to make “lyin’” jokes.

Exactly. He was fighting EVERYBODY, for four years. And they gave it everything they had, they fought him hard. He’s only one man, and he was betrayed again and again. He pretty much gets a free pass in my book.

I used to love John Cusack but yeah, Trump broke him. That reaction isn’t normal.

The hammer and sickle on a pink fluffy hat somehow makes it worse. Communism is not pink and fluffy, and this stupid girl has no fucking clue. She thinks communism is fun.

This shit permeates EVERYTHING. It’s a cancer and once it gets in it’s EVERYWHERE.

$15 an hour working full time puts you well above the poverty line. The poverty threshold for a single person under 65 is $13,300 per annum. Assuming they work say 48 weeks a year and do say 38 hours a week (which is what we suckers do) then their hourly rate would be $7.30. In other words, he’s proposing to raise the minimum wage to be more than double the poverty line, while claiming that $15 an hour is still below the poverty line.

NB: Anyone who thinks that minimum wage laws help vulnerable and low-skilled workers is a moron, and needs to read an economics textbook. Preferably one by Thomas Sowell or Milton Friedman.

There’s no wrong answer. Anywhere you can, anywhere people will see them.

This is what needs to happen now. Bring the memes off the screen and into the real world.

Exactly. I’m a white person and if I saw a guy wearing this shirt irl I would give zero fucks.

I’ve never understood why the Redskins name was “offensive”. You had crowds of people cheering for Redskins, I don’t see why this was a problem.

Is UPS “successful” because of the Teamsters or despite them? The Teamsters are so corrupt their name is synonymous with violence and corruption, it’s hard to see how that’s going to make a company more successful.

Re China and India - the problem in those countries is a lack of free enterprise, not a lack of centralised control. If they had more competition in the labour market employees would have more choices and not be forced to accept bad conditions - and that’s precisely why freer markets in those countries have lifted a BILLION PEOPLE out of poverty in the last few decades. Unions didn’t do that, markets did. That’s how you improve conditions, not by union corruption.

“Massively successful”?? By what measure?? And in any case, unions a century ago were very different to unions today, as is the business environment. And no, it’s not in the interests of the corporation to exploit the fuck out of their workers - because that shit is what makes customers boycott you.

You know what the best solution for workers is?? A booming free market economy. Not centralised control.

I don’t mean to be unkind, but look at the state of that pic.... NOT A WOMAN.

I know, in theory it makes sense. In practice, it never works. And I think most businesses support and value their workers, it’s not in their interests to “exploit the fuck out of their workers”.

Yes, in practice unions are bad. They’re a nice idea in theory, in practice they’re inevitably a huge negative for productivity.
