https://www.breitbart.com/environment/2019/11/04/theyre-gonna-need-a-bigger-boat-more-climate-activists-cry-for-help-to-reach-cop25-climate-conference/ I wonder how Gretta is going to get back to Sweden

I couldn’t get it to be clicky

You have to watch the video. It backs up Rick’s point of how we often leave places where we intervene worse off.

Google “Team America saves Paris”

That is a far cry from “gave up Syria to Putin“

With record sales like that, I am dreading the earning report that will be coming out later today. I will be the one eating crow when Elon Musk reveals his massive profits. Looks like I was wrong about Tesla
-
I will call bullshit on this one, show me how a tax cut cost you $12,000.
-
Still waiting for Kallend to explain this one.
-
Your lack of understanding is profound and not worthy of a response. Check into your local community collage, take some basic econ and business classes and get back to me.

Thank you spelling Nazi, but FYI corporations just pass their tax costs onto the consumer, which is tantamount to a highly regressive tax. (I don't mean to "Mansplain" but that means that the poor and middle class will be disproportionally impacted)
-
Just who do you think pays cooperate taxes?
-
Mother Jones? Try again. Why don't you include a graph of how much the lower HALF of income earners contribute to our collective tax burden. A SINGLE taxpayer in the top .1% pays more in taxes than the millions of folks in the bottom third COMBINED.

Both, I own some rental properties, I am paying a mortgage on some rental properties and I (actually we) are paying a mortgage on our primary residence.
-
Wow, I can not even begin to figure out how to answer that. Please flesh out how tax cuts hurt the middle class. As a member of the middle class I can certainly appreciate the extra $5K+ my family has benefited from. Please explain how I have been harmed.

You can have your nuance, I will stick with my reality.

It is nothing more complicated than the law of supply and demand.
-
Its funny that you concede "varying results" then dig your heals in with "anecdote over data" LOL
-
I agree 100%, it is not as informative as it is illustrative. Anyone with a brain would understand, artificially raising the minimum wage would have negitive results. IT is just a case study in reality.
-
It is all about balance. They virtue signaled with their voluntary $15 hour minimum wage then balanced the cost by making cuts in other areas. $15 per hour gets the front page but the downside is elucidated on page 51, after the obituaries. All perfectly consistent with their fiduciary responsibilities.
-
What are you talking about? If a company does not treat its people right it will loose quality employees. One of the precepts of any successful business is to get the right people and keep them. That does not happen if the staff is mistreated. Just ask the workers in China how a non-free market labor market is working out for them.
-
It would be a violation of their fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders do otherwise.
-
Uh, Syria had been a Soviet/Russian client state for more than half a century. Russia has had a naval base in Syria since 1971. So I'm not sure you know what you are talking about.

Trump's obsequiousness toward Putin is obvious, but the Trump administration is much tougher on Russia that the Obama administration https://www.npr.org/2018/07/20/630659379/is-trump-the-toughest-ever-on-russia

No celebrating, my friend, just the cold hard reality and a cautionary tale.

https://reason.com/2019/10/21/target-15-bucks-per-hour-didnt-work-out/ "wage increases include a wide number of trade-offs, including reduced non-wage compensation, fewer job openings, reduced hours, increased automation, higher insurance co-pays, less vacation and personal time, and reduced employee discounts" Who would have thunk it?
