| Topic | TAMU Professor says she'd hire less students if she had to pay them $15 per hour |
| Hinakuluiau 01/18/21 8:54:29 PM #46 | Doe posted... Assuming a full time job, going from $7.25 to $15 is a $15,000 cost increase. This would be nothing to someone like Jeff Bezos, but the actual median business owner pay (not CEO, which is chosen by the board of directors and only exists in publicly traded, incorporated businesses) is $73,000. So the median American business owner can afford to upgrade the salaries of four employees from the old minimum wage to the new one; by the time they get to a fifth, their own take home pay will be negative. The takeaway from this napkin math is that the new minimum wage will already primarily be straining middle class businesses who will struggle to compete with wages from international-sized corporations that can very easily foot these costs (Amazon already pays $15!).Someone who makes $73k by profiting off of the labor of 4 minimum wage workers maybe shouldn't be making $73k --- There are some things where I just bypass critical thinking. - ROD |

My biggest problem with the girl power scene was that wasp was in the van helping fix the portal, but had time to fly across the battle field to pose for the scene instead of just staying and helping fix the portal they were trying to get to in the first place.Superhero movies always have editing issues, but only when it's involving female empowerment do we care It's the same shit with the Throne Room fight scene in TLJ. People complaining about the extras waiting for Rey to kill them instead of swarming her, but literally 90% of fight scenes in movies are the same People are sexist and don't realize they have these biases --- There are some things where I just bypass critical thinking. - ROD |

| Hinakuluiau 12/03/20 7:57:20 PM #13 | Prismsblade posted... They can do whatever they want. I'm not trusting a rushed vaccine just becuase of that.This is based on existing technology that's been modified, it has numerous trials behind it proving its safety. Most vaccines only take longer because there's a ton of waiting around and things are done in a more staggered order. This wasn't rushed in any way that would affect the viability of the vaccine, its testing was simply streamlined by running the tests in parallel rather than one after the other. We make vaccines at this speed literally every year. A new flu vaccine is manufactured literally every year in the same, if not a shorter timespan. Scientists know what they're doing with this stuff. You don't need to trust your own government. There are governments around the world with far better track records with science and covid-19 in particular, most of these vaccines aren't even going to the US first let alone manufactured in the US.

| Topic | As a political centrist, the hypocrisy from both sides is overwhelming |
| Hinakuluiau 11/08/20 9:31:40 PM #14 | Josiah_Is_Back posted... This is part of the problem, the mindset that any particular group is "superior" to another. An earnest desire to understand viewpoints not entirely aligning with your own is what's needed to bridge the gap between different groups.The problem is that many viewpoints should not have bridges. Why should someone who believes abortion is murder be ok with it being legal? Why should someone who views healthcare as a right be ok with people going bankrupt over easily preventable diseases? Why should someone who believes immigrants need to follow through the process and not jump the wall be ok with the Dreamers? Why should someone who believes the rich need to be taxed more be ok with more taxcuts that never trickle down to the needy? Where do they bridge the gap on their morals and life experiences that are incompatible with the opposite? --- There are some things where I just bypass critical thinking. - ROD |

"Politics" is what rights you believe should be extended to others, it's what you find to be morally right and wrong, what direction you want to see your town, state, country, and planet go in (and away from), it's who should benefit from finance laws, and the level of legitimacy we should extend to religious and scientific institutions - to mention just a few things.

Latino/a is Spanish which I hate using when speaking English (I really don't like Spanglish). Hispanic feels like it has white colonial vestiges so it makes me feel bad to use it. Spanish is the worst that people use, it's just the language we speak. Like, I'm Colombian -- don't call me Spanish.

| Hinakuluiau 08/27/20 5:28:50 PM #114 | So I actually took a couple responses in here and put them together and replied to his status I'm sure approaching someone as a cop is insanely difficult. Id assume a lot of the time there is no formula for the best way to handle a situation, its probably pretty fluid. I'm sure you're probably being bombarded by people who think they know every nuance of the job, but actually dont, and it must be pretty frustrating. And he liked my comment (along with a couple other people) and he replied I agree a lot with that and can see that, maybe I didnt have the best example. My issue with everything is people are making it out to sound like cops are just out here murdering people.
