Welcome to Thunderdome

At the end of the day, the most valuable thing I did in college was get job. Having the degree opened a lot of doors, but that job was a great motivator that I didn't want some dumb button-pushing job. I was a phone survey person. But, after 3-4 months I got promoted to assistant supervisor. And tha...

And that's why I support higher minimum wages Have you ever shown how this cost ISN'T passed on to the people who just got the raise? Just like fast food in CA, that cost immediately raised prices. It's not like the owners said "Oh well. I guess I make less money now." Yes, look at the fa...

And that's why I support higher minimum wages. I support it to a point, as I've stated previously, but I think costs in general need to drop to more realistic levels. The "Wall St drives everything" model is destroying the economy. Costs will never drop. And if they do, something has radi...

If you were rich 4 years ago... you're super rich now. Economic indicators tend to be OVERALL indicators, like GDP growth, inflation, unemployment, etc. But that doesn't talk about the relative impacts. If you spend 60% of your income on food + rent, the past 4 years have been terrible for you. OTOH...

How is this system misogyny?

Agree. I know Catt will point out all the things that suggest the economy is doing well, but people don't see it at the grocery store, restaurants, the gas pump, the Bunny Ranch, and so on. The economy doing well doesn't mean everyone is doing well. Most of the benefits of our economy is going to t...

First time he's said he wouldn't sign a national abortion ban, versus the "up to the states" h said the other day. Just clarifying his position.

In terms of famous AAA teams, I think the Durham Bulls are second only to the Toledo Mud Hens.

I think you have that backwards, since we had a movie, and yall didn't.

I disagree. Especially since they aren't spending their millions.

Now, how MANY people are like that... debatable.

I believe pretty strongly that it hurts the US more than it helps to burry kids with student loans, etc. But this is retarded.

The local AAA baseball team.

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he would not sign a federal abortion ban if one reached his desk were he to be elected in November. It’s Trump’s firmest response to date on a national abortion ban. He has simultaneously claimed credit for appointing the Supreme Court justices who he...

When I was in college, my mom sent me an article that said Economics was the highest-paying non-BS major out there. I found Econ relatively easy to do, so gave up on my pre-Med stuff. I wouldn't have been a good doctor.

Good luck to your freshman.

Get an Econ degree, get rich. Or something.

Strange.
