But Charlie, don't you know that raising wages makes prices go up? That's a basic economic principle!
But it kinda does?
You can't artificially increase value. If costs go up you have to look for something down the pipeline which will inevitably compensate for that, whether it be a reduction in labour or price increases.
Well when the cost of living naturally goes up X% per year, and you haven't gotten a raise in 4 years, your wage is worth less now than it was when you were hired. Either raise minimum wages to keep up with the cost of living, or ditch the minimum wage entirely and admit they don't give a fuck about people making minimum wage.
So your solution to the apparently exuberant cost of living is to increase the cost of living? Because that's what increasing the minimum wage will end up doing.

Sounds more like a direct result of increasing labour demand rather than wage hikes. "Wilson has heard of employers outside of those cities finding that they must match higher wages to compete for employees". Correlation =/= causation.
People tend to forget that raising the minimum wage is incremental. It isn't something that happens overnight. Washington haven't even reached their delusional goal of $15 p/hr minimum wage yet. The article provides little evidence, if any, that artificially increasing wages has increased GDP or provided any economic benefits to Washington. It's one of the biggest financial hubs of the country. Of course it's going to have sublime wage and job growth.

Why should marriage be incentivized?
If anything, I think LESS importance should be put on it
Strengthens family bonding and reduces the prospect of poverty for one thing? idk about you but I don't think it's a wild coincidence that there's a correlation between single motherhood, abject poverty and crime.

You guys overreact every single time she's brought up. She fuels her campaign with your overreaction. You act like my OP is her actual endgame. She's a hot button. A trigger that brings out your worst. Why shouldn't we react accordingly? She nosedived face first into an industry with no prior knowledge of and trash talked the shit out of it in order to gain tumblrina brownie points and kickstarter money. What she did was the equivalent of Caitlyn Jenner shitting on theatre for being transphobic. Literally what, how and why.

How can you tangibly prove that constitutional rights were violated? I get the intention behind it but I'm not sure how you can prove that an entire police force disproportionately targeted black people because of their skin colour in a court of law.

I already posted the fucking correct answer you dipshits.
http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Eru_Il%C3%BAvatar
"In a letter written by Tolkien, he stated that Eru again intervened, this time in the Third Age, causing Gollum to trip and fall into the fires of Mount Doom while still holding the One Ring, thus destroying it."
"lmao the creator of the universe nodded the bad guy off a ledge thus saving the day" Further confirmation that Tolkien is a complete hack.

conflating [non-consensual] inappropriate groping under the vague banner of 'sexual assault'
They are not the same... how?
Because I think we should be proportional in how we treat these crimes. Groping is quite evidently not as equally bad as tying someone down and force fucking them in the arse/vagina non-consensually, in the same way that battery is not as bad as murder despite both being morally reprehensible.
We have differing degrees of felony and misdemeanor sexual assault.
Fair enough then. I concede my point.

...that's why sexual assault charges aren't rape charges.
Everyone seems to conflate the two.

Is that sexual assault? Sounds like the guy just groped you, no offence.
Terms of legal code here in the states, yeah. Sexual assault is generally a big umbrella term used, with more specific examples and stuff under it.
Oh right.
Well as shitty as your experience was, I don't really agree with your laws. Touching someone inappropriately is not at all comparable to full blown penis-in-the-orifice nonconsensual sex.
Luckily, that's rape, not sexual assault
Hoo boy here we go, another progressive dictionary definition meme. Epic.
Why is it unsurprising that a conservative is downplaying sexual assault?
I'm not downplaying anything. Criticizing the law for conflating inappropriate groping under the vague banner of 'sexual assault' is literally the opposite of downplaying.

Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create...life. He had such a knowledge of the Dark Side, he could even keep the ones he cared about...from dying. He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power...which, eventually of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death...but not himself.

capable of levelling cities.
I mean, it was an African city. Not a total loss
Well in the comics it was hell of a lot more than just one city.

Can someone explain how exactly supers will get "regulated?" What does that even mean?
Because I'm all for restricting power when necessary, but if Iron Man's plan nullifies the utility of superheroes in the first place, then I could see a problem.
In the comics it's a bill which requires the mandatory registration of people with superhuman abilities and/or advanced technologies. Basically it allows the government to keep tabs on people with powers in case they lose control. Cap sees this as akin to the Nazi persecution of the Jews, and that would actually make sense were it not people capable of levelling cities.

http://logins.specscout.com/homepage.php?mod=screenplay&smod=coverage&cmd=cvgd&sp_id=287http://www.thewrap.com/dan-trachtenberg-direct-cellar-paramount-insurge-bad-robot-exclusive/The framework of the film was originally shot as a psychological indie horror film titled "The Cellar" with a budget of about $5 million (the original Cloverfield film cost about $25 million just for comparison). Paramount picked up on it and slapped the Cloverfield name on in what can only be described as a genius business move designed to save a dying indie film from completely bombing at the box office. This is pretty much why it was able to stay in the dark for so long. If you plan on going in to this film with expectations of a direct sequel or serviceable spin off to the Cloverfield universe you're probably going to be severely disappointed. Expect about 2 hours worth of scenes set in a basement and then about 10 minutes of Syfy tier CGI action at the end. Shady as shit move on behalf of Paramount tbqfh.
