    OJ Simpson Buh Bye

    Agree. Though he was more than a good football player. He was amongst the most famous athletes of his era with an active broadcasting career, commercial presence and acting career. He had built up decades of positive regard. You could see the pull of that amongst his colleagues. People wanted...

    Minimum Wage

    Agree. You have to take aptitude tests, do well in a variety of hurdles. My point was not that people lack ability.

    Minimum Wage

    I didn’t say easy, just that the military is a different sort of path with some substantial benefits over private sector given certain attributes. The military will steer for you, match your raw ability to a career trajectory. If you’ve got some capacity but lack direction, the military can be a...

    Minimum Wage

    Sure. But, I don’t think it’s all a compensation issue. There are some serious ideological and demographic problems in public schools in many areas of the country today. Chicago public school teachers are paid pretty well. Wouldn’t want to send your child to one. A professor I was stuck...

    Minimum Wage

    Gov already owns the loans. This was an Obama special. They federalized loan service. It’s not money laundering. It’s buying votes. The party that does that has a very easy sell. External blame. Gov handout to help. The student loan one is particularly egregious as the debt was optional...

    Minimum Wage

    There are a lot of teachers. Supply and demand plays a role. Primary funding source is gov. Private schools actually pay less, typically. Even then, there are often good benefits and the combination of pay and flexibility isn’t bad. In fact, teachers are amongst the most common jobs in those...

    Minimum Wage

    Btw. Total household debt us 2023 = $17.503 trillion. No billionaire can wipe that out. us debt = 34 trillion. We have a spending problem. The gov is fiscally irresponsible. Too much regulation. Plenty of revenue. This is gross.

    Minimum Wage

    I’m curious how Milei will do in Argentina. Met an Argentinian professor recently. Fled the economic chaos there about a year ago. Pre Milei. As one would expect, they’re very much in support of Milei. The left is economically illiterate.

    Minimum Wage

    Sure. There’s luck involved, even for normal employees. For example, many people who were within the first 100 or even 1000 employees of places like google or nvidia are likely millionaires many times over. The difference for some of those was simply getting selected by one tech company over...

    Minimum Wage

    They won’t take that pay because gov pays more for people not to work and because the wages in those industries are artificially suppressed by the availability of illegal labor. There are migrant programs and worker visas. But yes, the economy adjusts to the availability of under the table...

    Minimum Wage

    S yes, and instead we make their life harder by making min wage jobs = 41k per year, by allowing high levels of costly illegal immigration, by having trillion dollar plus deficits yearly, and by stoking inflation by increasing money supply. This all hurts every day Americans. Can you imagine...

    Minimum Wage

    They are outliers. And, in my opinion, the social programs, minimum wage hikes, and deficit spending all contribute to increasing wealth disparity. Basically, the elite (political class, 1 percent) wish to close the door behind them. The people who appear to be trying to target Bezos or musk are...

    Minimum Wage

    It’s progress in the sense that it compresses the lower and middle class together, promoting increased equity. It’s punishing for those who work on skill and career advancement.

    Minimum Wage

    Min wage hikes damage businesses, motivate innovation to eliminate employees, and cause inflationary pressure. The consequences of that… unskilled labor competes for goods and services with skilled labor at a level beyond their value. Skilled labor does not just get a raise because unskilled...
