Welcome to the Freethought Forum
|
The lofty high Renaissance and marked mannerism. The heavy and ornate Baroque era, followed by the gentle Rococo. Harsh neo-classicism, rich romanticism, lush naturalism, stern realism, blurred impressionism. Heady surrealism, blockish cubism, postwar Dada, pointy-cornered art deco and cookie cutter Bauhaus. Let us skip the dreariness of the past half century and arrive finally at FF Style.

This question is for those who oppose it. Do you know of a solution to it that would really work that doesn't involve righteous slaughter on an epic scale?

Minimum wage blues |

Recently, California passed a law creating a board with the power to set the minimum wage for non-unionized fast-food worker. They're authorized to go as high as $22/hour. (Management-biased description of legisltion here .
I walked to the local grocery store this morning to pick up some apples, celery, and cauliflower for tonight's Rosh Hashanah dinner. Outside the store, someone was collecting signatures on a petition to get an initiative on the ballot to prevent the new law from taking effect. ("Fast food workers need to EARN $22/hr--they shouldn't have it handed to them.") I told him that it was ridiculous to expect someone to live in San Diego County on the current minimum wage, and that $22 seemed more than fair--I'd happily pay more for my fast food if it was going to help someone earn a living wage. (Frankly, I'd be embarrassed to be collecting signatures on that petition.)
The guy just sat there.
