For all the years the minimum wage didn't change inflation still happened. Correct, it is not the sole cause, it is just one cause. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

"An increase in the federal minimum wage did create an increase in production costs, which subsequently resulted in an inflated price for consumers." And then the costs was passed on to us the consumers, making prices go up, or inflating? Dang. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

"But critics of the cost-push inflation argument suggest that companies can always adjust their workforce to compensate for a mandated increase." Do they mean fire people or lay them off, because it would be more costly to keep them after a mandated raise? Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

I have been trying to find (not trying to hard really) the story about the dude who got hit by a car trying to stage a bigfoot sighting. Rumor is he was in a suit (maybe a ghillie suit) got hit by a car and then a second car. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Our Production Crew was out there a few times the last couple of years, and we had the luck of meeting the Pawn Stars Crew at a gear house. They do pick the items for the show, there is ususally a long line out the door on filming days and an associate producer screening items. On none filming days it is a busy pawn shop with many customers coming in trying to get on TV. Jo has lost her Objectivity, so I will not waist any more time with her inaccuracies. Bob, well his ship sunk a long time ago. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Some people here seem to believe that military security gets to shoot anyone they want, without any repercussions. Incorrect! They have rules of engagement and levels of force to follow, just like civilian police officers. True, but as soon as you enter the installation with out authorization the ROE is not in your favor! Do so by violating the Restricted Airspace over a Nuclear Facility, you reducing the favor again. Over all, not smooth move. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

Served..... You? The Captain and Admiral pretty much labeled the next jumper a Terrorist. It is a Nuclear Facility, we (you too, yes?) who have been on them all know they have a bit higher standard of security, and a bit wider latitude in its execution than say a standard facility for Basic Training. Kathy would probably had no issues, till the off landing and Video, with staying open since I think like Strat and others she had the FAA on here side, or would have given past findings, now the Dept Of the Navy/DOD, not a fair set of odds.

I was just trying to keep you historically and factually correct. You tend to read too much in to some post, and tend to react to every post like it is meant for you only. You started the thread, but it is no longer about you. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Well Pawn Stars has confirmed it. Duane Weber is Cooper. Solo hijacker, who got away with it. They aired it tonight. We can all move on now. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Money, spent and needed to be raised for their effort in November. If they delay too long (and even a week can be too long), they can fall behind in money raising for their campaign. They have to announce Romney, make it official, so the RNC can focus, like the DNC has been focused, on supporting one candidate. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

http://www.cnic.navy.mil/kingsbay/InstallationGuide/GateHours/CNICD_A134717 The Base itself is controlled access, not Top Secret exactly, just the Subs themselves and some facilities. But, it is just arguing over mute point. The PAO told the ABA not to let the off landings happen again, so the ABA added that, to what ever is motivating them, to kick you all out. I hope you all get to stay, but some of those "actions", isn't helping the efforts. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Any Publicity, is good Publicity? I could have sworn I saw him outed before Fox did it, but, two wrongs don't make a right. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Apples beget apples. You are not my friend. You have no interest in my experiences, you call me liar, crazy, etc., you have presented only bad information and only attack my every post. I speak of what really happened. It is the way it was. Bite me. There are better avenues than your booby-trapped snares and I'll take the other road, thank you. all you are doing is denying coming forward Bob, you will not have a choice soon anyway, you want to claim whistleblower status but quickly back down when confronted, cowards do this Bob, do you want to be branded a coward? you not making any sense only talking about this HUGE crime on here Bob, then you respond with "bite me" your deformed pictures of your Family and your profile pic tells a lot about you Bob, you think it's funny while other are not laughing!! let the record show that Bob has left the battlefield once again non victorious,..... Always wrong. Always trying, very trying. It is the FBI that laughs at us all. I'd sue, given an opportunity, not funny. Yes, bite me. You are the cause, not the solution. Overzealous FBI that STILL operates under J. Edgar rules. Promised to fix it, no more Ruby Ridge, no more Waco, no more Monroes, Kings, etc. Bullshit. No real oversight of any value at all. Rotten to the core. Time to clean house. Ahhh, there it is. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Do you think that maybe the yellow slip of paper you got has more to do with the City being "defied" at the moment? Maybe the paper isn't issued if the City's order was respected till it was sorted out in the courts? Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Maybe they didn't like the freeflyers and hoped this would keep them stuck in the plane? Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

On this subject, Airport Access and negative outcomes of poor judgement during an Airport Access dispute, Strat is one of the top experts in the field. The "have you ever served" comment is irrelevant to the thread, but if you look further up thread you will see the sub base was mentioned with a tongue in cheek joke. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

And now the Base Security Office, or PAO, has backed the Board, saying it is a national security issue that can't happen again. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Well, tell that lovely lady, thank you!

Depends on the trees. Most of the trees along the river ( Catepillar Island) will be Cottonwoods which are pretty soft wood that breaks very very easily. so basically unless he hit a tree dead on or a large branch he would plow right thru, kind of what I thought. Like Amazon says it just depends on the trees, the way he hit, etc. Things can be ripped open and scattered about, or not. Burning in, as you described, if he hit the perfect little draw, he could be "buried" immediately, never to be seen again, not sitting at a bar in Mexico, laughing at a bunch of web sleuths. Best quote I heard when talking to a fellow and asking him to profile "Cooper". "Remember, I have documentation putting me on a mission in North Vietnam when this happened, got it?"

I too could be wrong, but I was always taught that minimum wage and living wage happened to be different , and one could even have two or three minimum wage jobs to meet living wage level. http://lafenty.hubpages.com/hub/Minimum-Wage-VS-Living-Wage Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

Just make a call from a pay phone to your handler, and it is delivered via a flying saucer driven by a 7' hairy bipedal dude, with a copilot from the grassy knoll! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Can you cite a source for this or is this simply opinion? Bill handled it. I think there has been confusion between the two, hence the discussions side trips at times. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

EXCEPT: You can't believe what is written because the information being generated was from the perpetrators. The deception is in the telling, Dr. Watson, not in the analysis. You have to work backwards from Janet and assume NOTHING. You are SO wrong it is humorous! Knoss, I continue to be amazed at how well you can type with your straight jacket on. Congratulations!

Still no recognition that the minimum wage is set too low. There that help ya out some? Or is this what you want? IMO it is not too low. If it is not what you want to use it for, fine, still not too low, IMO. It is not meant a living wage, but a minimum wage. It is not that hard a concept to understand, or is it? Matt If a basic algorithm in the machine is losing value year on year for decades then it's time to do something about it. So what you actually want is not a "Mimimum" wage, but an "Entitlements" wage. A wage that would guarantee that low output gets higher pay. Instead of remembering it is not a living wage, but a minimum wage, as some one mentioned - to avoid servitude and slavery type uses. Maybe, we should stop the apples and oranges comparisons, and it will be a more on point discussion. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
