    that's a terrifyingly sad quote.

    And there are still people protesting for McDonald's to raise their minimum wage to $15. You can live a perfectly decent life on minimum wage $9/hr full-time in California. Just forego some amenities and you'll be fine.

    I dispute that. Are you living proof that you can live on $9/hr in California? In some states maybe, but it'd still be a tough life with lots of sacrifices. Of course, that should encourage a person to improve themselves so they make more money and don't have to subsist on the bare minimum, but evidently that doesn't work with lots of people.

    What bugs me is when people start families when they can't afford to support them. If you make minimum wage, you should not be allowed to have children unless your spouse also makes at least twice minimum wage.

    That's not that far off. I guess it still gives me time to increase my earning power so I can still afford to live the middle-middle class lifestyle I currently have. Once businesses raise prices to offset minimum wage increases, I'll be living a lower-middle class lifestyle at my current wages.

    Indeed. Be more productive and work harder for us, wage-slave. Don't worry, even if the economy falters, we'll be bailed out again by our patsies-- I mean elected government representatives. Oh, and by the way, we're moving our businesses' "corporate headquarters" to Romania, there's a staff of one, and she works part time. You can review the details at our Innovation Headquarters, its the same building you've always known us in.

    spacing - The 1%.

    It's still the American dream after all. Personally I'm looking forward to a Fight Club-esque restructuring of society amid the destruction of financial records. Though that would piss me off since I spent all this time saving and being frugal.

    Christopher Lee, 93, has died. No doubt like a Numenorean he chose this moment now that the Hobbit trilogy is finished as well. Though he had roles in bigger blockbusters especially of late, I'll always think of him as the best Count Dracula actor. May your rest be better than a vampire lord's!

    RIP Rowdy Roddy Piper

    Truly one of a kind. The world is a smaller and unfortunately a now quieter place.
