7 I think most everyone saw the Wendy's kiosks coming in the wake of a minimum wage hike. Their action proves that the actual minimum wage is zero.
I'm sure those workers who were laid off really appreciate the unions getting their nice fat pay increases at their expense. And I'm SO happy that an avenue for my kids to get a summer/after school job has been closed by those cockweasels.Posted by: VA GOP Sucks at May 13, 2016 07:54 AM (PFy0L)

There should not even be a minimum wage. The reason is, wages are not about what a person is worth. They are about what the particular JOB is worth to the one needing it done.

10 More on the bathroom wars:
The Obama administration, in an effort to protect the privacy rights of all students, is suggesting that student uncomfortable with the new order use a separate single occupant restroom. Hopefully they have shower stalls in them as well since the new decree covers locker rooms as well.
And still Obama has approval ratings around 50% and many of those that disprove are from the far left that think Obam he is not radical enough. The problem with the country is not Obama and his sycophants. It is the dumbed down, citizenry.Posted by: Ripley at May 13, 2016 07:56 AM (1BQGO)

26 Hopefully, this book by "Congressman X" will fire people up enough to implement the jwest campaign funding reform.
Make any effort to raise money or accepting anything (other than minor shit) by any elected federal official a felony.
Let their potential opponent raise as much money as they want from whatever source as long as it's all disclosed immediately on the internet. Have a third party accounting firm hold the money in an escrow account.
At a date certain prior to the primary and another prior to the election, the Treasury matches the amount to the incumbent.

Wait a minute --- using single occupant, gender-neutral bathrooms is a hardship for transgenders. We've seen that argument made in court by a 6 year old who sued his private elementary school. He said this made him feel different, and he deserved to feel accepted by using the girls bathroom.
So why then is it now OK to "otherize" normal kids who just want to pee, change and shower in peace?Posted by: Lizzy at May 13, 2016 08:04 AM (NOIQH)

I didn't explain it thoroughly.
The incumbent never touches the money.
All the cash, whether it's the challenger or incumbent, is handled by a third party accounting firm. If the challenger raises 2 million, 2 million is deposited into the incumbent's escrow account.
At the end of the election, win or lose, anything left over in the incumbent's account is returned to the Treasury (hard to imagine they wouldn't spend it all). For the challenger, anything left over is returned on a pro-rated basis to the contributors.
The main point is that once someone is elected, they should never be in a position to either ask for or receive money from anyone. It should be a crime.

Adding my vote. Ability to hold it seems a virtue (Latin for "Manliness," no really) right up until it isn't. Saudi royals used to rite-of-passage in how long they could ride without water, which is why so many urology clinics are named after sheiks.
I had a biker bladder in my long-riding days, then after I took up a couple of token healthy habits, developed "chronic stone disease." I could probably at one point have written my name on those bathroom tiles and cracked 'em.

The recent The Economist reads like a parody of everything liberal.
If there was ever an issue that would make you cancel the subscription, this is it. My husband subscribes to it online, therefore we get the hard copy too. I always toss it in the bin, but I took a peak this time because Trump's on the cover.
Trump's triumph: America's tragedy is the headline.
Inside the caption reads: Donald Trump is now the presumptive Republican nominee. This is terrible news for the Republicans, America, and the world
I went to the piece, it's a joke.
Then I had to peek at thearticlepropaganda on Our crony-capitalism index Blame the moguls getting into bed with the government but NOT the government getting in bed with the moguls... Stunning.
And then the little piece on Leicester's (soccer) win. They were considered underdogs, and The Economist goes on to explain why rooting for the underdog is bad and harmful to a society. Not kidding... It's titled Fairy tales: Underdogs are overrated.

Most private schools accept some form of public money and even if they don't, if a member school accepts any public money then they can force the issue on a non accepting school.

Exactly.
More:
"This intensely felt sense of being transgendered constitutes a mental disorder in two respects. The first is that the idea of sex misalignment is simply mistaken--it does not correspond with physical reality. The second is that it can lead to grim psychological outcomes."
The transgendered person's disorder, said Dr. McHugh, is in the person's "assumption" that they are different than the physical reality of their body, their maleness or femaleness, as assigned by nature.
It is a disorder similar to a "dangerously thin" person suffering anorexia who looks in the mirror and thinks they are "overweight," said Dr. McHugh.Posted by: Mortimer at May 13, 2016 08:38 AM (m3k9C)

Furthermore his actions are consistent with doing what will benefit HIM and his BRAND above all considerations, even if it means screwing the little guy in the process. Trump is not the answer. He is part of the problem. And beyond that, he has an authoritarian streak in him and is a shallow thinker who buys into ridiculous conspiracy theories.Posted by: chemjeff - Libertarian at May 13, 2016 08:50 AM (v6tlA)

The Carthaginians had a long history of infant sacrifice to Ba'al, done by casting the infants into coals where they burned alive.
This was rampant during the Punic wars, when Carthage was losing. It was seen as a way to show your support to the gods of the city to convince them to support Carthage in its fight with Rome.
I always asked if the women of Carthage did not love their children, or were so callous that they would kill those they should love and protect?
And the answer is yes they loved their children, only monsters wouldn't. But the child sacrifices were voluntary, and enforced by both the priests and the women themselves. (There were accusations that the rich would buy children of peasants to sacrifice, and this was seen as cheating)
Think of it as virtue signalling on a major scale: it is not enough to raise your children, but to give all the children a valid world to live in and continue the culture, and by this sacrifice the women reaffirmed their belief in the validity of their culture, and both committed to it and did what magic they could to ensure its continuance.
In a way twisting your children is a fad, like keeping them from eating any fats 'because studies show fats are bad', and in a way it is like watching the women walk on bleeding and torn knees for the mile or more up the main road to the cathedral to show humility and atonement for their faith and for the world.
The pressures are enormous now, things are failing, even the clueless lefties feel it even if they don't understand it. Such signalling over the bodies of children come out of desperation, not love and confidence.
I wish I had a conclusion to draw from this, or some sort of prescription to save the children from their parents.

Posted by: chemjeff - Libertarian at May 13, 2016 09:07 AM (v6tlA)
Depends on how they work. I believe that the plan in TX (if it ever gets off the ground) is that the credit goes to the family who then must find a private institution who will accommodate them. That means that the schools will still not receive any "State" money.
My understanding is that there is at least one other State (CO? MO?) that already does it that way.
Another option, of course, is to home school. You can even set up a home-school co-op where you and several other parents share the teaching responsibilities.
And, of course, even in the absence of vouchers, if you can afford it - even with a little sacrifice - send your kids to private school anyway. At least in Texas, schools are partially funded based on head count (it's 90% of that amount which would fund the voucher for your kid), so every kid who is not in public school is money that public schools don't get. Plus, you'll be providing a better education which is much more in line with your own world-view and morality than in a public school.Posted by: AllenG (DedicatedTenther) Buy My Book at May 13, 2016 09:13 AM (kff5f)
227 So if you really do want to have privatized education, what is your plan?
Vouchers. Seriously - if you want to take your kid out of public school and put them in private school, you get X% (I think most places that use vouchers is 80 - 90) of the per-head rate of a kid in public school which you can use toward tuition.
F. T. S.
Remove the school taxes from the property tax rolls. Let them use that money, along with vouchers.Posted by: rickb223 at May 13, 2016 09:13 AM (Yu4ah)

231 Eliminate public schools plan?
First you have to amend your State constitution to eliminate the "right" to a State funded education.
Then you and leave it up to individual vote by referendum announced no later than 60 days BEFORE the election. That amendment to state that no school, public or private, will be allowed to accept any funds from the federal government or students who receive federal assistance in any form.
Or you could short circuit all federal shit by holding an Art V convention.Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at May 13, 2016 09:13 AM (vvmPQ)

First off, you need to accept the premise that all citizens need to help pay for the education of children - even if you don't have kids. It's an investment so that the next generation can make enough money to continue funding the country.
It also helps to keep them out of jail, which is a major expense.
Once that is agreed on, the most efficient and effective way to translate the dollars into actual education is a pure voucher system.
No public schools. No teacher's union. No regulations on who can teach. No nothing, except for a test at the end of each year that shows the taxpayer that the voucher for that particular kid educated him to the standard for the age he is.
If the kid fails, the government appoints a representative to choose the educational option for the kid.
With this system, you can homeschool and keep the money as long as the kids learn at their grade level or above.Posted by: jwest at May 13, 2016 09:14 AM (Zs4uk)

238 Depends on how they work. I believe that the plan in TX (if it ever
gets off the ground) is that the credit goes to the family who then must
find a private institution who will accommodate them. That means that
the schools will still not receive any "State" money.
That still seems pretty close to "accepting state money" and I doubt the SJW types at the Dept of Ed would be willing to split that kind of hair if it meant stopping them from enforcing bathroom tyranny at private schools.

Actually, in a pure voucher environment, a "teaching job" is something that is strictly between the teacher and the parent.

I'm not a childless Libertarian, and I *also* reject the collectivist premise of public education.
Public education is (more accurately: "was") useful in a pragmatic sense because all kids do need education and consolidating that effort frees up more labor to do other things with more immediate dividends. As long as public education remained aligned with the basic cultural values (instead of being indoctrination centers for the New Left), and actually taught useful things, they were a perfectly acceptable means of educating children.
That stopped being the case long ago. Now schools are mostly about teaching non-whites that they're terribly oppressed and inferior and so only the Government can help them while teaching whites that they're evil, "privileged" tyrants who hate everyone who isn't like them.
When they're not doing that, they're either allowing unruly kids to bully (or actively assault) other children, or demeaning smart children for having the audacity to be bored when they can read chapter books and everyone else is still learning their ABCs.
Some public schools, like candles in the darkness, are still good. If you happen to live near one, by all means make use of it. But do it because it's a good education for your kid, not because it's a public school. If it's *not* a good education for your kid, you owe it to your children to move heaven and earth to see to their education *yourself.* Not the government on your behalf.Posted by: AllenG (DedicatedTenther) Buy My Book at May 13, 2016 09:32 AM (kff5f)

rick, you're having a rough time grasping this whole pure voucher thing.
There will be no schools. No teacher's union. No school districts. Nothing.
Just a parent with a check.
That's it.
The state would have an agency that either conducts tests or outsources the testing.
The test would be a compromise between easy and hard. People will argue about it, but there is no way around that. It will end up as what is generally expect a kid of a certain age to know at that time.
Picture a test that most suburban white kids with parents who care would breeze through and that some inner city kid would fail.

Yep. That's right. In 5th grade, the level of science they are teaching is that heat bakes stuff.
You're right, it is not profound science. But at that level, there is something to be said for having science demonstrations (not really an experiment) that get kids thinking and engaged in science. If it is done well, you can talk about the different chemical changes that take place, why the potato starts firm but then gets all mushy as you bake it, what a potato is composed of and how does that respond to heat, why you often wrap potatoes in foil in order to cook them. Plus it helps if the kids can do that "science experiment" at home if they want and so the learning carries over into the home after school. That's not necessarily a bad thing waht they did.Posted by: chemjeff - Libertarian at May 13, 2016 09:38 AM (v6tlA)

You do know that tens of thousands of parents educate their own children all the way up through high school without having any "credentials" or meeting any requirements, yes?
If I run a private school and I'm hiring teachers, they're going to have a resume. I'm going to have an interview process which will almost certainly include having them guest-teach a class, so that I can verify they actually know what they're doing. Having once hired them, if they fail to perform, I'm going to fire them.
Then, when they go somewhere else, they'll have to explain why they were fired. Sure, they can lie about it - they might even get away with lying about it - but if they fail to perform there, they'll get fired again. And it won't take very long before other potential employers see a resume with a long stretch of one-school-year (or less, perhaps) jobs and they'll be less likely to hire you.
That's how it works in just about every other industry with absolutely no problems. I work in IT where average tenure at position can be as little as 9 months and I still get crooked looks from people for "job hopping" because I haven't stayed with any one company for much more than 2 years at a time. In teaching, average tenure in job is something like 10+ years. If you find a teacher who is moving jobs every year, that's a great big huge red flag.Posted by: AllenG (DedicatedTenther) Buy My Book at May 13, 2016 09:38 AM (kff5f)

My daughter graduates in a week from HS, my son was last year. they both were in the new Middle school for it's opening year. New school meant new locker room and new showers. HS is somewhat older, 20-25 years, but pretty up to date still.
Way back when I was in HS gym class, even last period gym, meant you stayed in the shower at least until your hair was wet, no exceptions. No way to dry it meant walking home your hair would freeze, but that was the rule. We survived somehow.

Which brings us back to vouchers.
I'm not quite completely on the jwest train of no public school at all, but I don't think we're that far apart either.
My main purpose in keeping public schools is so that private schools can remain really private. That is, they can accept or reject students on their own terms (so long as those terms are available to parents so they can be known, obviously). If we completely got rid of public schools, then it would take about 15 seconds for someone to sue to get their kid into a school that didn't want them (because they were disruptive or whatever) and win because "we don't have other options." If there public schools, the answer to that is: "sure you do, and the other option is free to boot."Posted by: AllenG (DedicatedTenther) Buy My Book at May 13, 2016 09:44 AM (kff5f)

I've been in heavily technical/engineering based businesses my whole life. I've written peer reviewed papers that have been published on complex gear geometry. I can even do high school math.
Which is why it amazed me that when my daughter was learning fractions in grade school I failed miserably in trying to teach her. With all I knew about math, far more than I would need to be credentialed in any school, I could not get the ideas across to my own daughter.
I sucked as a teacher.
All I got was blank stares, tears and frustration from her.
My wife, on the other hand, explained the shit in five minutes in a way my daughter instantly understood. She was able to pick up on the clues about what was being grasped and what was not, thereby adjusting and getting through before frustration set in.
My wife doesn't have teaching credentials and sucks at math.

So, it appears that Prezzy Jugears is trolling us again? Big surprise. I mean, what could possibly go wrong when grade schoolers (Grade. Fcking. Schoolers.) get to choose to go into whatever bathroom they "identify with" on any given day?
That said, CONgress has let TFG run roughshod over them (and the country) since, well, 20JAN09 and they ain't gonna do nothing about this now. Nor will anyone in CONgress or the nominally GOPe-nonhostile media press The Witch on this because, SHUT UP that's why.
So, still boned? Yep, still boned.

True story: A colleague was in line at a Starbucks,
heard a guy tell the barista who was writing his name on his cup, "It's
Marc, with a 'c.'"
He gets his cup. On the lid:
Cark.

It would kill two birds with one stone.
First off, it would change education to a level never seen before.
Second, it would take a poor city of 400K and make it the most desirable city in the U.S. to live in, boosting the population to at least 2 million in a few years.Posted by: jwest at May 13, 2016 09:54 AM (Zs4uk)

promotional consideration. Bruce just was generating enough .. hence
Caitlyn Jenner.

Posted by: Neo at May 13, 2016 09:40 AM (e8kgV)
Heard an analysis from a local (I think) talk show yesterday. Suggestion was that after Jenner committed what probably was vehicular manslaughter, his attorneys and his PR people cornered him and suggested that the only way to stay out of jail was to go on with the whole sex-change thing. Any judge that tried to put him in prison or treat him too badly would be savaged in the press and have to defend his decision as to whether to imprison in a male of female prison which would be instantly be appealed forever, and "caitlyn" could continue to breathe the air as a free Xit.
Suggestion was that "caitlyn" would quietly stop when all chances of going to prison was over and done with.Posted by: Kindltot at May 13, 2016 10:06 AM (ry34m)

Sounds like a hollywood idea for a script.
Jenner's mother has said he exhibited confusion and problems when he was a child. He's had mental problems since a youngster.
Considering California likes to release convicted hard core criminals, loves illegals and sanctuaries them, etc. Jenner not being charged with vehicular manslaughter doesn't surprise me in the least.

If you look at the pictures from the incident, it's plain that Jenner was already in the process of altering his appearance. Supposedly he's toyed with doing this since the 80s, when he took hormones for a while. Somebody on the ONT recently linked a 1998 broadcast of 'Loveline' in which Adam corolla noted that that Jenner appear to be transitioning then but withdrew again.Posted by: Epobirs at May 13, 2016 10:28 AM (IdCqF)

It is reportedly listed with UnitedGun. They said at first they didn't want it, then supposedly said it is listed.
Let's put it this way. It's legally owned. Zimmerman has a right to sell it. I can sympathize with the auction sites in that Zimmerman is trying to get as much money as he can by hyping the notoriety of the gun, and that can seem a bit unseemly. At the same time, why shut down a legitimate auction simply because some internet idiots are trying to interfere to bolster their cause, of putting the gun auction sites out of business.Posted by: Jen the original at May 13, 2016 10:34 AM (2I2BK)

He said even at 8 y/o he would put on woman's underwear and sneak out at night and run around the neighborhood.
Yes, he was doing the hormone crap after wife #2, met Kris Jenner and stopped so he could marry her.
It really does bother me that with all this being in the news that they are not honest about it, i.e., high suicide rate, that most doent have their wants cut off, most regret their decision to have it cut off, that many are hetereo and it is just a fetish, etc.
