Minimum Wage & Union Wages: You Pay for them...

how did obama assert leadership? he was busy playing golf or sinking the one eye wonder worm into his secretary of staff

I said "when" he asserts leadership, as in passing health care reform and numerous other pieces of legislation, but whiny Republicans just cried about it.

civil service test

1. do you drink obama juice?
2. will you sit around all day and not do any work?

if you answer yes to these questions you have a job for life.

You are more intelligent than I gave you credit for earlier, I apologize. You just counted to two.

 

[rosco rathbone]

I just couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic or expressing a real view of your own. Either way I don't see how it is reasonable to expect that people, especially Americans, will feel any better about having to pay for private companies to provide services now provided by the government.

It's my sardonic recap of AJ's position, which we don't even bother debating anymore having gone over the same ground a million times in circular fashion.

Fair enough. Except it still doesn't make any sense to me.

Passing a civil service exam is more difficult than working at a 7 Eleven store, and far more difficult than composing your preposterously banal comments.

great, so you can memories a few things. big fucking deal

operating a 7 Eleven store, means that you have to stay profitable to stay in business.

You, little man child, have no idea what consumers want, or who your consumers are. you are not accountable. when you fuck up, you just pass that on to the tax payers.

operating a 7 Eleven store is far more complicated than you are capable of coping with, let alone making a profit

leadership, the Dem's had all the power. is that true leadership? wow.

Some things you can't make a profit doing. If the cops only got paid for when they save us they wouldn't exist, same goes for fire departments. Sewage and trash are also on the list of things that simply wouldn't get done. You live in the modern world. Deal with it cupcake.

It's pretty simple. Libertarians don't like it when you try to box them in and paint them as totally anti-government anarchists, but on the other hand, they're wary of the ratchet effect where any expansion of government can be used to justify the next expansion. So it all turns into warnings of slippery slopes.

Apparently you are capable of such a feat as running a profitable 7-11, and yet can't spell. I think I'd rather be able to spell.

He had the ability to pass legislation and did it. And I'm sure you cried about how he was being such a bully! Oh my that big bad black man!

peppie, one can clearly run dept like Sewage, water, fire, police, this and that dept better.

in government the profit motivating factor is removed, yes. and with that, people don't need to innovate. usps is the best example of that.

meaning, government workers are a septic tank of humanity as they just sit there rotting away before they drain into the leach field (i.e. fat cat retirement city)

I didn't mean that the concept itself doesn't make sense to me, rather the application. But, thanks for the explanation.

 

[markfifa0791]

And I think 7-Eleven is hyphenated.

That actually got me to chuckle.

One can run anything better, his point was that those businesses aren't profitable because no one would pay, on their own, for the services to be used. You want police to be there on call right? That's a lot of people to pay for on-demand service if you're the only one, or one of a few, that need help.

No the USPS is not an example of that or did UPS start delivering regular mail, everywhere for the same price recently?

You didn't get the memo?

same price everywhere is socialism. cant you go one post without saying we should be socialists? you really are one of the dumbest posters here.

 

[Sean Renaud]

You didn't get the memo?

No. They told me it would cost me more depending on where I sent it. I should sue. . .oh government fucks everything. I should drive my mail out personally.

But then you'd be consuming government subsidized gas...Better bike it. Not to be green or anything, those people are kooks.

Yup, when I look up socialism in the dictionary, that's the definition- verbatim. Socialism- when you pay the same price everywhere.

 

[NeverEndingMe]

usps has over paid workforce, too many workers, and the union fought automation. USPS is a classic example of how NOT to operate a enterprise

this is from teh dictionary. yes! there are books where people read them & then people learn things. yes! there are books written by non union thugs but then you would have to think and not drink obama juice.

2. any of various social or political theories or movements in which the common welfare is to be achieved through the establishment of a socialist economic system

What? Dude did you even graduate high school? That first...paragraph? could've been worded better by a below average middle schooler. Tell me something about socialism in a historical context, go ahead. I dare you. Educate me with something other than Obama juice.

1. I'm guessing you skipped the first definition because it didn't suit your needs.
2. You realize you defined socialism using a form of the word in the definition, moron.
3. That says nothing about pricing of goods.
