Remember how he wanted the floppy disc for Snatcher to be coated in a chemical that would smell like blood after being in your computer?  Remember how he wanted the disc for MGS2 to destroy itself once you get a single game over?  Whatever Kojima has thought of during the past three years will probably lead to at least one person losing their home to a structure fire.

Kojima Unchained. 

I’m here for this.

[allthecanadianpolitics]

i'm so!!! mad!!!! how could anyone look at fords platform (and lackthereof) and think it was a good choice to elect him!!! how could liberals see their failing party and not vote for someone who had an actual shot!!! i got so upset looking at the results and seeing ndp lose by a couple of thousand, a couple of hundred votes that could've easily been gotten from the liberals. I'm so angry, I'm so disappointed I don't even know what to say about this at this point ://

I have seriously had it with these pompous, poor hating, classist assholes.

Paying someone the bare minimum to not live in poverty is not greedy. Its not hurting the rich. Its not going to crush the economy. Its the bare minimum we should strive for in a caring society.

What is crushing the economy is uncontrolled corporate greed, not the working poor.

[lazyscienceguy-deactivated20180]

What you don’t get is that the economy and the value of things on the bottom of the scale is based on the value of an hour of work. A jug of milk will always cost 35-50% of a minimum wage hour. So if you put the minimum wage at 15$, you’ll just see the price of milk rise to 7$. After a year, the result is that no poor people were helped by doing this AND the economy is now worse because people lost their jobs, the middle class has more debt, etc… The only reason minimum wage was raised in the past is to follow inflation, created by the existence of the federal reserve and 0 base lending.

[allthecanadianpolitics]

That actually is fiction. Also you’re talking about the USA, and I am clearly not.

But here, have some facts:

Early analysis of Seattle’s $15 wage law: Effect on prices minimal one year after implementation

After A Year, Seattle’s New Minimum Wage Hasn’t Raised Retail Prices

New UW Study: Raising the Minimum Wage Doesn’t Raise the Price of Groceries

Debunking: “If You Raise The Minimum Wage, It Will Cause Inflation”

What paying fast food workers a living wage would do to the price of a Big Mac

fatcs!statistics!tea!!

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

I live in a country where the minimum wage for retail workers is $18.29.  That’s $14.45 when converted to USD. Milk is currently $1 per litre in most places You could buy a gallon for about $3.75. That’s 2.96 USD, for the record. By the logic used by the fittingly named Lazyscienceguy, I should be paying $6.40-9.14 for that. The fact that I’m not paying even close to that means that not only is this poorly researched “fact” theoretically false, it’s also been proven false in practice in a real world setting, too. Lazy science indeed. No fact checking, just regurgitating things some politician wants you to believe to justify paying you less… I almost wonder if your name was chosen because you’re aware that you’re simply not good at this particular facet of it.

I cannot fathom how people constantly shit on any kind of assistance to those desperately in need- until they themselves are in need of that exact (socialist!) help. I can guaran-fuckin-tee that if that willfully ignorant commentator was in the situation where they were working three part-time jobs at $8/h and having to choose between rent or electricity and food, they absolutely would not turn down a minimum wage hike. As much as I hate to wish it on anyone, some people need to experience the despair of poverty before they yap off.

I absolutely agree people still view support of those less fortunate as a threat to, and an erosion of the privileged's own 'rights' rather than a major benefit to society *and* the economy- and it's fucking boggling. Even if there wasn't massive evidence in favour of a living wage, it's bad optics to cultivate and actively display such a shit-dickish moral outlook towards your fellow humans.

I have a family member who regularly yaps off about how people need to provide for themselves but she had nnnnnno problem taking a government handout when she popped out too many kids too quickly and couldn't work.

And when called out on it? "It's different!" LOL

Like, fuck that point of view I'm 100% done.

Stop paying taxes then, dig your own fucking well and outhouse, don't drive on any roads, ever, and please just curl up and die if you need an ambulance, police officer or firefighter because these are all social benefits of paying taxes and being part of a mutually supportive, progressive society.

Man I wish I was still living in GTA/Ontario right now cause you better fucking believe I'd be waaaay up in anti-min assholes' grilles over this. Like, come fight me on this.

I'm incredulous to the point of speechlessness that this is the kind of pervasive attitude we're still dealing with in 2018. I really want to tazer these shitheels right in the taint; get a dose of reality straight to the CNS.
