I wonder how much that'll slow employment growth, if not cause downright job losses.

Considering it's only large hotels, probably none.

You'd be surprised.

It's doubtful that one cleaning lady, even working at full capacity, could accrue >$15 of wealth for the hotel each hour for her work.  Wages are set based on how much value you're adding to the business.  Expect job cuts and little to no employment growth.  Before this hike you could hire two workers for $18/hr.  Now that costs 60% more.

It was fun, but not completely to my taste.  I want a game just like this, but without the ridiculous off-roading.  Basically, I want Forza 5's physics in an open world like TDU.

Still might pick this up instead of SoM if the PC port isn't up to snuff.

Maybe I'm just dumb but I don't understand what the joke is.

1. I believe an anarchist society is a viable long-term solution
2. I've never voted for a Republican
3. I believe abortion is disgusting

It was just a friendly jest.

I'm a feminist because I believe in equality. Now, don't start to shout "feminazi" at me, I'm not a radical feminist. I just simply think that we should have equality. True equality, not the "women are allowed to vote and work, so stfu" kind. People should be allowed to be themselves and to express that, and that includes but is not limited to transgenders, genderqueers, and other identities that doesn't fit the "norm" of society. The norm itself serves no purpose, and should be critically thought about. When even the glasses at the optician are separated into "Men's" and "Women's", something is wrong. Glasses have nothing to do with the sex chromosomes.

That makes you an egalitarian, not a feminist.

OT:  I was raised in a very conservative home, and had very conservative/Republican beliefs and values until I got into high school.  That's when the real world started settling in, and I was introduced to gays, rednecks, socialists, other Republicans, etc.  My political ideology eventually rested on anarcho-capitalism because I saw how voluntary exchange works on a personal basis, and, seeing as society is just a congealed mass of individual interactions, decided that voluntarism and free exchange for all would lead to a better society.  For practicality's sake, I'm a minarchist (libertarian) because the only way an anarcho-capitalist society could exist is if that was the "system" in place at the birth of a society.  Ultimately where you are on the political scale depends on how much force you believe is reasonable from the state.  Taxation is theft, there's no denying it, but if you want to maintain a state it's necessary for the judicial system and military to function.

At first my friends reacted negatively, but they came around when I started explaining the illegitimacy of force and the power of voluntary exchange.  My dad doesn't really care about my political beliefs, and my mom thinks I'm some sort of antichrist for not caring if guys fuck each other in the asshole or if Mr. and Mrs. Smith down the street smoke a little reefer.

What was that? I couldn't hear you over my symphonic orchestras

A lot of countries have those, and Europeans tune to the wrong A, anyway.

state funded museums,

Okay...?

and rich history.

lol

Yes.

I don't drink coffee, I take tea.

I also like my toast done on one side.

So I guess you guys missed a week or two ago when Yutaka made a porn thread and I posted some really kinky hentai.
That was up and being posted in for over 12 hours.

Must've been when I was sick and didn't use my computer for a week.

Job searching.

>Teach children that violence is bad
>Discipline them with violence

Yeah, doesn't make much sense.

I can't wait for Scandinavia to burn to the ground.
