Minimum Wage just went up to $11.50 in Washington State. The price of milk is $2.68 a Gallon.

You mean cook.

No, Chef. As in "Yes Chef" was the response expected when I told them to do something. A line cook is beneath a Chef.

Hold on StA. TC assured me he has fed two Presidents.
Mind you, if one of them was the Donald then all it entailed was a trip to the nearest golden arches to pick up a quarter pounder, a Mc Slurry and extra ketchup.

Amazing, someone remembers... and no, it wasn't at a fast food chain.

LOL, wut?

Wages are a product of supply and demand. Period. Full stop. The only exceptions to that come from price controls like minimum wage.

Yes, but the entire market does not react to one segment having a higher supply - ie: More border jumpers picking vegetables does not lower the wage of an office tech.

That's not correct.They actually get paid more in some cases because the employers don't have to pay taxes on them (and they don't pay any taxes). Meanwhile they get plenty of gibs that Jedi is paying for in his payroll tax from his minimum wage job. That's less money Jedi makes to fund this demographic replacement policy.

Border jumpers are incentivized to breed. Their kids get free education. They get preferred admission to universities that Jedi does not receive. They get scholarships that Jedi cannot receive no matter how qualified because of his race. Those kids go on to take office jobs, engineering jobs, and more. When you have an open borders policy combined with this ridiculous anchor baby system we have, border jumpers are one generation away from flooding your skilled labor pools.

We actually don't need more people. Not at all. We need to deport people. We need to cancel visas and focus on assimilating the people we are now stuck with who were given citizenship. This could take generations.

I doubt any real Christian would support mass deportation of people.

And border jumpers produce children who work their asses off. I've seen it. What the problem is?

Was the American experiment really only just about European Immigrants or was it an experiment about any person?

Just because someone was ancestrally from Mexico, does not make them less American than if they were Ancestrally from Ireland.

I honestly think most men actually judge you by the woman on your arm more than anything, thus why the wealthy feel the need for trophy wives.

Marty's always talking about the male dominance hierarchy, but absent some sort of physical confrontation, sports or perhaps a fight, the pecking order is sussed out by the females, not the males, the females decide who is at the top of the pecking order, by choosing a male to mate with.

Huh. Didn't know that.

Indeed.
As you’ve explained, it only requires a person to set their feet down on our soil by any means necessary to be an American.
You’re a regular paragon of high standards.

See, even if you get a better paying job or whatever, move up the ranks from slurpee attendant to bottle washer, and then on to assistant manager of Baskin Robbins from there, you're not really going to be happy, if you haven't got a good woman to share your life with, and not to be too crude about it, but the other lads are not going to be too impressed, if she's not attractive.

Right now at the underwater basket weaving shop I work at, you stay there five years working 40 hours a week (which isn't hard to get if you work hard) you'll make $22 an hour with guaranteed hours. Benefits are healthcare that's $60 a month with 20/80 and $100 deductible, and an ESOP (I guess that's a pension? I don't know, DB says it is). So, 42 a year with decent benefits.

But if it's not all culminating with a good woman to share your life with, what's the point? What, you're just going to play video games on your off time, until you die alone?

[DBTrek]

Fuuuuuuuck I wish I could pay $60 a month for 20/80 healthcare.
Instead I pay $1024/month for it.

You’re still identifying with the poor working man while making $22 an hour plus benefits?

Son, you done been snowed.

[Speaker to Animals]

DB is subsidizing Jedi so that Jedi can complain to DB about how DB doesn't respect his work ethic. That's gold, Jerry!
