Love them.
It'd be nice if you had a schedule though >.> So it'd be like a mad scramble and wouldn't indirectly discriminate against us Britbongs.

Tipping really isn't an issue you can look at financially/economically.
It's a social/moral convention. It's not immoral, per se, for you to not tip, but it annoys the rest of the tribe when you violate a social convention - especially if it indirectly harms another member of the tribe.

3,4,5,6,8 and 9 are idiotic, the rest are okay
How? How the hell is the one about wage subsidies, and pulling minimum wage earners out of tax, idiotic? DO YOU WANT TO HELP THE POOR?

1. Ban Americans from holding office
Well done; made me laugh.

Unions are the backbone of America, bro. You think the big corporation you work for gives a shit about you? No, the only one on your side is your local union.

I'll add 1 and 2. Not sure about disallowing women from combat roles, and not allowing trans to serve at all though.

Some jobs shouldn't make $10.
McDonald's is a great example.
Okay. There's no such thing as being paid too much by the market.

Scenarios:
1) window is open, you take pictures and cat just walks in
2) window is closed, cat walks up, you open window and take pictures, then it comes in.(in short, you let it in, which isn't as interesting)
which is it?
The first. I don't see how the second one is any less interesting though. Opening the window to take pictures of a cat isn't exactly an invitation into my room.

Spoiler I'm going to steal the good ones and put them into an amalgamation here. 1. End all restrictions on student immigration and switch a work permit system for high-skilled immigration. 2. Switch the monetary regime and stop focusing on inflation to stabilise the labour market, remove the need for fiscal stimulus and remove the need for bank bailouts. 3. Get rid of green belt protection, primarily around less affluent towns. 4. Legalisation of most drugs/End the federal ban on marijuana. 5. Completely change the welfare system and use wage subsidies. 6. Abolish the NHS and switch to a system inspired by Singapore/Repeal Obamacare and give subsidies to the poorest. 7. Reduce corporation tax to around 12% outside of London, and make public investment tax-deductible. 8. Take minimum wage earners out of tax altogether. 9. Dramatically reform the EU (or leave). 10. Try to integrate high culture into all aspects of society. 11. Allow Iran to obtain nukes. 12. Never let defence spending fall below 2pc of GDP. 13. Support Kurdish independence. 14. Focus NATO resources on the crisis in Ukraine. Deal with ISIS by supporting the local governments.

*reads thread title
hmmmm........
Did he ACTUALLY come THROUGH the window like you said,
or did you just let him in?
Spoiler not gonna lie, it coming in on it's own sounds more interesting. BUT it's not worth lying about  It didn't warp through the fucking glass if that's what you're asking.

I was being sarcastic for the most part. I do care, that's why I bothered with this whole thread.
I get that, you just can't expect anyone else to. Besides, global poverty has fallen by around 50%. The market is doing its job, even though are there a few externalities we really need to fucking correct.

They pay you way too much.
I'm a server at Olive Garden and I usually make more, but sometimes I make equivalent to your pay. Depends on business.
There's no such thing as being paid too much.

I was really only referring to Mr P
 uw0t Oh well. This entire thread has been an exercise in assumptions you anyway. That being said, you can't really blame people. It's incredibly out of the norm to have somebody speak about poverty and then have them not expect you to care or be active in the matter.

Because both of you were on a track to seek sympathy from an INTJ personality type.
What does that have to do with anything? I don't want your sympathy. Spoiler Besides, an INTJ should know not to make such a flagrant assumption.

So for you not-britbong barbarians, the Trade Union Congress is a very descriptively named and irritating institution in our country. They have been complaining, for a long time, that the financialisation of the economy has been bad for Britain, and they're particularly opposed to the wholesale banking of the City. With that in mind, they recently published a report trying to explain why wage growth is so slow here. Basically, the conclusion they draw is that the financial sector hasn't been growing enough. Spoiler The shift in employment from higher to lower paying industries, combined with rising levels of under-employment have helped push earnings growth to a record low, according to a new report published today (Thursday) by the TUC.
The TUC-commissioned report examines why average weekly earnings growth – a measure of pay growth published every month by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) – is so low when most pay settlements are keeping touch with inflation.
Last month average weekly earnings growth (excluding bonuses) fell to 0.6 per cent – its lowest level since records began in 2000 – despite employment rising by 167,000 over the same period. Median pay settlements are currently around 2.5 per cent – below their pre-recession level of between 3 to 3.5 per cent.
The report, written for the TUC by Incomes Data Services (IDS), identifies several reasons for the dramatic falls in average weekly earnings growth across the UK:
· The changing composition of the labour market, with low-paying sectors creating far more jobs than high-paying ones. High-paying industries such as finance and construction have both shed jobs over the last five years. They're basically left-wing reactionaries.

Right, he's talking personally.
So were you. You assumed both of us have two parents.

Yeah I know, trust me. Culturally however, you need them or else we'd all be robots. It's probably why most people are hardwired to feel emotion so they can never become too logical and end up saying fuck it all and their life.
This. The people who lose their moral intuitions make terrible decisions on the whole, and the people who don't have moral intuitions are psychopathic.

Hey, you're now in the group of the 9/10 children of the world without two parents.
Again, he's not talking globally.

Fuck that's nothing. But I guess a job is a job.
£6.69. I'm 17, it's part time and it's above minimum wage. I don't give a fuck. It's 10.93 in dollars. 12 hours a week.
