Economics 101

Just want to give a shout out to NJ for raising the minimum wage. Now the place I worked last summer can’t bring me back in the winter because they have to account for increased labor costs. 
I post about the minimum wage all the time and tell people that it’s detrimental, well now I’ve got a credit card to pay off and needed to work this winter but can’t.
Thanks a lot you economically illiterate fucks.

Elections Mean Nothing, We Are On Our Own

Elections Mean Nothing, We Are On Our Own

I guess we should have seen this coming, when Ryans butt buddy Eric Cantor was kicked to the curb defeated by a Tea Party challenger, establishment Republicans circled the wagons, they saved McConnell who was on a similar path to defeat and by keeping the blubbering Boehner in place to play patty cake with their Democratic brunch dates, they ensured Republicans would tow the line by extortion of committee positions and burying house votes.
It was pay back time for the dumb conservative bitter clingers who thought the system worked and their votes count.

When you have abandoned by the people who put you in power, don’t be surprised when they don’t vote for you again. Once bitten twice shy, time for a change.

“That is where the stupidity, or what appears to be stupidity, comes on scene. On the one hand, the party needs to win elections and that means appealing to those rubes they detest. On the other hand, they are compelled by tradition and sentiment to appeal to their analogs in the other party. As the Chinese say, a man who chases two rabbits catches none. In the case of the GOP, they just look like feckless idiots.

An hilarious example is conservative media darling Marco Rubio. He is being flayed over his open borders fanaticism and the deep suspicion he is Chuck Schumer’s rentboy. He’s being whipsawed by the phony-baloney adulation from “conservatives” and the hostility from the rank and file, who despise his open borders treachery. To use a crude expression, he does not know whether to shit or go blind.

Compounding his dilemma is the fact that he is as dumb as a goldfish. I’m fond of calling Rubio Ms. South Carolina with a penis. No, that’s not a link to Lindsay Graham’s website. Rubio gets by on his looks and charm, which is fine if you’re selling Cadillacs in Boca Raton, but it is a liability when trying to run for President in these crisis times for the party.

That’s why Rubio skipped the vote on the budget bill. There’s no safe answer so he spent the day playing Halo and listening to hip-hop. That non-vote just ended his career as a politician. Who will vote for him now? His presidential campaign will now collapse and he has already decided to give up his Senate seat. He’ll land in some lobbying gig or in a no-show Wall Street job, but he is finished as a politician.

That is the fate awaiting his party.”               Keep Reading….

Omnibus Shmomnibus….Shut Up And Pay Your Taxes

Omnibus Shmomnibus….Shut Up And Pay Your Taxes

If I have this right:

We needed to quadruple the number of H2B visas because we needed far more nonagricultural, low-skill, low-wage workers coming into the country. H2B visas are granted for jobs like “amusement park worker.”

We’ll make our poor people poorer, and our Middle Class poorer, all to give Disney a 25 cent boost on the stock market, and import more non-Americans to replace American workers. (And eventually, when those non-Americans get comfortable and begin demanding American-style wages – we’ll have to import fresh non-Americans to replace them.)

This is the Republican Way of Doing Business, and if you have a problem with any of this, you’re a goddamned extremist and racist who should be shat upon.

And somehow, somehow, after fucking over every working class and Middle Class voter in America, the GOP predicts… it will somehow pick up a Senate seat here or there, and then we’ll get Supreme Court justices.

 

So drink up! This is the Golden Age of Republican Incompetency and Corruption.

There have been previous high points of Republican incompetency and corruption — but this age is truly one of miracles and wonders.
