That's why you have a guaranteed minimum income. It's been shown Germany can easily afford it, no reason America can't.

YOU COMMUNIST PIECE OF SHIT WHY ARE YOU AGAINST CAPITALISM!? HOW IN THE FUCK ARE GIANT, MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONSSMALL BUSINESSES SUPPOSED TO STAY COMPETITIVE IF THEY JUST GIVE AWAY ALL THEIR PROFITS FOR LABOR COSTS?! FUCK A LIVING WAGE.


YOU SHIT FUCK. DIE.

it is often said that such things increase the general unemployment

and yet the us, with negative job security and unemployment benefits

has pretty fucking high unemployment

same with after the down turn in the early '90s

used to have low unemployment, but then during the crisis it was "oops better fuck some shit up now"

then it was like "oops guess we'll have to settle for 6% unemployment now but we have to fuck some more shit up otherwise teh juuuurbs will go away"

sure thing buddy


maybe the real issue is that the most important goal of governments is now to keep inflation below some arbitrary number


there is a saying

it is that the business sector is like a farmer's mule

it is great for plowing fields and help put food on the farmer's table

but he would be a fool to ask the mule for advice

unfortunately the mules now run the world

So Republicans are mule-fuckers?

That said, I'm going to guess (and I stress guess as I have not done any comprehensive research on the subject) that PT benefits tend to be less than those offered FT. Take Lowe's for example: they offer a Limited Benefit Health Plan for PT, as opposed to the Comprehensive Health Insurance for FT. But the website doesn't really say what the differences are, so I don't know if it's higher co-pay, less coverage, more expensive premiums or something else. That's just one example and Lowe's is at number six on that list, so those top five above them may have better options for PTers, I don't know.

Probably a mini-med plan. Cheap premiums, low deductible, but very low annual and lifetime maximums. Like, $2000. It'll cover a regular checkup fine, but you're up shit creek if you get hospitalized.

May or may not become illegal in 2014. Already illegal in New Jersey and several other states.

The hilarious bit is inflation can be difference across different sectors in the same damn country. Food prices & energy costs have been inflating like hell, while "financial assets"(aka legal fraud) have actually gone as far as to experiance deflation.

But apparently calling using a single arbitary number to measure the economy of a superpower is silly and uncalled for and is grounds for calling me 'fucking I'M A JUGGALO WOOP WOOP'. I know because the Smartest Board told me so
