      The rest of the country ought to be ashamed. Even the state of Arkansas can pass a minimum wage increase.

            Actually, only Scalia and Thomas made that claim. There were three different opinions striking down the law.

              Sorry dude, you just aren't nutty. You haven't called for any one to be dragged into the street and shot yet for their views on things.

                  HOw inefficient. Death camps are more economical, and we can use the slave labor to make the process even MORE efficient.

                      I don't deny that some businesses may flounder if minimium wage is increased.

                      In terms of capitalism, however, that any business that needs to cut cost to the bone dispite relatively good economic conditions will not survive long.

                          That's what you get for producing cheap stuff. You get out-cheaped.

                          Make an incentive to increase the quality of the products? IIRC that's what Finland did and that's how Nokia emerged.

                            I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.
