Really, what $15 an hour is going to do is drive businesses into automation quicker and quicker. You'll be driving up to a McDonald's and enter your order thru a keypad, then a machine will make your burger and you'll pay thru a bank machine teller...just wait and see.

Even if this becomes true, why do you have such little faith in the American economy that you don't believe people can find better work than food service?

That was just an example.......I can think of many instances where people can and are being replaced, which is already happening i.e. bank tellers, self service instead of cashiers in Home Depot, supermarkets, etc., online web shopping, etc., etc.

I thought you were ignoring me? You are a whiny little school girl who can't help but return for more abuse. Then cry about it all over again. Pathetic, yes, you are.

Oh sure that's what I get for throwing you a bone. You can tell a lot from a dog's behavior about the master and well your case is no exception.

No need to go full delusional on me, if you bend over and pull your pants down so pathetically I get inclined to inflict some more butthurt. Parroting doesn't make it any less wishful thinking, ask your attention-whore-club buddy shittystick.

i bet they can cheer themselves up by taking 7 million pictures of their immature/tiny buds, choosing the best 14,000 of them, photoshopping the best 12 of those, and posting them over and over again until they think they are master growers.

i mean, it's a fucking weed.

Not my site, not my problem until they made it my problem. I never said one word either in support or against their seed business while I was there. To be fair, I only figured it out in the last year before I was banned.

Reasonable explanation. Sometimes its difficult to figure out the best thing to do when we find ourselves in these kinds of situations.

Lets say for a moment that I am having a nightmare and Hillary Clinton is now president and her first job is to ensure equal pay for equal work.

Could someone please explain to me in less than a page how this is going to be legislated?

First, how do you determine equal work?

Of course. Been implemented years ago and will increase in frequency with many businesses.

I have a Roomba 880 with thousands sold each month. How many maids are being put out of business with those type of robotic household aids?

The really funny thing about this is that these two Brits are whining like teen-aged girls. When they don't stop, the Politics Forum regulars repeatedly put them in their place, yet they continue to whine, and actually come back for more. :roll:

Maybe they're masochistic butt buddies. :lol:
