CA Minimum Wage is Bad for Workers? Inconceivable!!

[Speaker to Animals]

Will it cost more if the ho is delivered in an air conditioned drone, properly chilled?

Should that kind of price discrimination even be legal??

They take water, gold, credit cards, and high-priced drugs. Ride and exotic crib included.

I'm just wondering what apeman is griping about, with "accountability", they did a 7-to-1 stock split at $75/share, and it went straight to $132, if Tim Cook ain't making you money, go ahead and sell all your AAPL, but near as I can tell, Tim Cook has done alright by me, AAPL doesn't have a mind blowing dividend, but consider the stock split there, the buy backs on top, and the 250% return on investment since he took over, what's the beef?

He pretty clearly has no plan for the future. If I'd made that 7x return, I'd be cashing out right now, for sure.

There's nowhere to go from here but down. SteveJobs created a money printing machine, and now the rest of the world has caught up.

I've never had enough money to worry about stuff like this, and I don't have a family to worry about, but my hypothetical ill conceived plan in a situation like this would be to sell the stock up to the amount I initially invested, and keep the rest in the company after a split. That way, worst case I break even. If you decide to do that, you owe me a piece of your profits because I gave you the financial advice. I take checks or cash. Its completely up to you.

Maybe the workers can just be forced into human kennels and paid whatever the market will bear. That should work longterm.

Why does every "solution" have to involve force, and never freedom?

Your thinking on this topic, that the only answer for cronyist force is yet more force imposed for the use and benefit of the biggest and baddest cronies--to the detriment of the poorest among us, has always escaped me.

(2) My thinking on this topic is NOT that "the only answer for cronyist force is yet more force imposed for the use and benefit of the biggest and baddest cronies". I am pointing out that your solutions WILL NOT WORK.

If your answer amounts to let them eat cake on their fifty cent per day wages, then I am telling you right now, people are going to start hanging guys like you in the public square before long. Nobody is going to want to live in a human kennel and working for ten cents per hour while the bossman lives it up on all the surplus when they can just form tribes and live as outlaws.

Supposedly Hobbes helped design the famous cover of Leviathan. Probably top five book covers of all time. Really interesting philosopher who got smeared. In my opinion its a classic case of shooting the messenger. Dude lived through a civil war. Makes sense he would have a bleak view of human nature. He saw it at its worst.
