McDonald's will replace cashiers with kiosks in 2,500 restaurants

Have you ever responded to anything non-partisan with an equally non-partisan response? Fuck, it must be exhausting to be so afraid of everything in the world that doesn't look or think like you.

^^Let's revisit this... my post from 8 days ago to some other cowardly dumbfuck.

. . .says the guy who charges that I am not "manly," cannot define "manhood," and insists that I am "conflicted."

Being a person that is actually intolerant of bigotry requires that you actually be tolerant of people that do not look or think like you.

Being able to mumble along with the lyrics that you got off of a few Facebook memes does not make you an actual progressive. It requires actual, deeply held convictions and personal integrity, not simply a vague idea of which "side" of a given issue that your "team" is on.

Then Q-#### chimes in 8 days later with some nonsensical bullshit about... something, I suppose. I don't believe I ever called you "not manly". I'm sure you can continue to post stalk me for links, amirite?

I also don't recall claiming to be a progressive but thanks for the ascription, ya conflicted little boi.

Enjoy your tweakend, Q-#### - I know we will.

That's because LEFT wingers are sociopaths, they only think about themselves and have no empathy for others.

They are incapable of having empathy for people who are not their kin.

Just witness the amount of right wing posters laughing about that 'urban' kid out of a job. The funny part, they are too stupid to know that most service workers are NOT some kid with his pants hanging down his butt.

Most service workers are over the age of 21, many with families of their own.

LEFT wing empathy for ya! But these same men and women would swear up and down that they are the pinnacles of morality.

Fixed your post.....

Do you even know any right-wingers?

No one is laughing at the kid without a job, we were the ones warning you that the kid was not going to get hired under your economic "dreams."

Bolded part: You are just saying something that you "know" to be true. It might very well be, and probably is, but those people are not earning a minimum wage.

I'm sorry, but our family is deeply involved in the empathetic efforts of the church to help people in their times of personal crises from our community all the way to Haiti. Both my wife and daughter voted for Trump, so you would define them as right-wingers, but they are full of empathy, mercy and charity, something the left only gives lip service too and demands that we give up our earnings, a piece of our lives in order to pursue your idea of "charity by government (vote buying) without a scintilla of empathy for what you take from us as you piss down our backs on a daily basis swearing up and down that it is a nice warm rain that we should enjoy in silence.

By definition an exempt employee is exempt from overtime. Either you want to work them 60 hours and pay them for 40, or you don't know what you're talking about.

I'm guessing the latter.

Liberals are effectively illiterate when it comes to economics. Advancing an argument for a higher minimum wage requires either a belief that high labor costs increase the demand for labor or they believe the demand for entry level labor needs to be diminished because that is exactly the resulting effect.

They concentrate, even fixate on the people they can point to and self-righteously say, look I made a difference in that person's life. As in the Bastiat parable of the Broken Window, they never see the people they hurt.

And this is their empathy, the good of the seen.

In our empathy, we study and learn about the effects of good intention and we try and warn the altruistic of the harm they do, but all they see is opposition to their best intentions and that makes "right-wingers" evil, even though they are advocating for the greater long term good instead of focusing on the need for the immediate gratification of the "empathetic."

I'd be willing to bet that there were a lot of Liberals who wanted to pay their employees "a living wage" but wouldn't because, you know, free markets and competition...

So they backed the idea that their competitors must be forced to pay the wage they wanted to set so that they could feel better about themselves.



Another cute little trick being employed is a bit of sleight-of-hand, but it only adds $16. to the cost of a hamburger. Everyone can afford $.16 for a hamburger, so it's worth the raise in price.

However, the fallacy is that you will always have that $.16 available for every purchase. However after you purchase 10 burgers, you have lost $1.60 of your discretionary income. Therefore, you opt out of purchasing that 11th burger, doing without, or finding a cheaper substitute, like a brown bag PBJ. The increase in cost associated with all goods and services in the aggregate reduces spending power. Reduced spending power lowers sales volume which harms the very community that altruism tried to assist.

I'd be willing to bet nearly all of the Litleftists are incapable of even being an employee, much less own a business.

Right wing logic

Democrat out of a job=welfare munching queen, loser, sagging pants retard.

Republican out of a job=down on his luck, job stolen by 'messican' immigrant.

This is insanity.

No one here has used that language or logic, other than yourself.

When people such as myself make economic arguments, individuals don't matter in that sense, the only thing that matters are human interactions and contracts. A purchase is a contract and a wage is a contract. The political affiliation of either party to the contract means nothing, fucking nothing.

When we talk about jobs being stolen by altruism, be it price controls or the condonation of illegal immigration and the slavish nature of their employment, we analyze the outcome/effect on citizens, not Democrat or Republican citizens.

Remember, the problem is not an individual problem, but an aggregate problem.
