Wal-Mart Canceling Plans for Three D.C. Stores Over 'Living Wage' Bill -- (link) - MDH Jul 9, 13:24 54
- And since when is $12.50/hr a "living wage"? - Strongbad Jul 9, 13:44 9
  - I honestly believe that the minimum wage should be enough that if you work 2000 hours a year, you're above the poverty line - Will Hunting Jul 9, 14:13 3
    - *cuts everyone's hours to part time* -- nm - Walmart Jul 9, 14:14 2
      - $10 an hour to me is a living wage...I could care less how many hours a company gives me as long as it's consistent - Will Hunting Jul 9, 14:25
      - well, they can't very well ship them off to India. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 9, 14:16
  - Throw out that bs 30 hour "employer fearing Obamacare" garbage and you get most hill staffers and they barely can live near their jobs -- nm - MDH Jul 9, 13:59
  - i've lived in L.A. for around that several of the years that i've been here - charlie Jul 9, 13:58
  - but they can get 5 of those jobs and make almost $100k if they weren't so damn lazy -- nm - dogbert Jul 9, 13:55
  - It's whatever the bureaucrats feel like at the moment. BTW Oregon does this type of shit too. So we aren't immune from these dumb laws. - Bacon Jul 9, 13:49
  - well only if your employer limits you to less than 30 because they fear obamacare, then yes. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 9, 13:47
- yet costco pays several dollars over minimum wage but still has a higher profit ratio per employee, higher retention rate -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 9, 13:39
- "The bill also only applies to stores that are at least 75,000 square feet, thus exempting companies like Apple and Starbucka" There is the bullshit! - Bacon Jul 9, 13:32 41
  - Silly Bacon, the Government decides what is fair and what is not. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 9, 13:36 28
    - The same District that elected a crack smoking Mayor. D.C. gets what it deserves. Crime, Filth, and Poverty -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 13:36 27
      - Bacon you crack me up -- nm - amoxy Jul 9, 13:56 3
        
        he's the Archie Bunker of ST! -- nm - charlie Jul 9, 13:57 1
        
        better than the Meathead... -- nm - Beaker Jul 9, 13:58
        
        :) -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 13:56
      - Well we are a city that's made huge strives the past decade, and in turn, become a much better city. I'll ask my House Rep to go lobby for me.... -- nm - MDH Jul 9, 13:44 18
        
        it was always a great city, even when SE was a warzone -- nm - charlie Jul 9, 13:50
        
        oh wait... -- nm - Diva Jul 9, 13:45 16
        
        Yeah, my house rep and senator are great. Along with the fact I'm not bothered that my taxes are higher than almost eveyone. -- nm - MDH Jul 9, 13:46 15
        
        It's better yes, but still higher. Yes, it's hard to shed a bad stat like murder capital. Chicago wins that now. -- (link) - Bacon Jul 9, 13:48 14
        
        Ooh! Ooh! Do LA now! -- nm - con_carne Jul 9, 13:52 4
        
        I have been to LA it's Filthy, Stinky, Overpriced, Polluted, and Congested. That has been my experience with LA the many times I go there. - Bacon Jul 9, 13:56 3
        
        ..."Many times?" - con_carne Jul 9, 14:04 2
        
        I used to spend my Summers down there as a kid. Now we go just to do the Disneyland, Universal thingy. But next time I come down I will definitely - Bacon Jul 9, 14:05 1
        
        It's a huge tourist trap, but I like Universal/CityWalk. Lots to see and do, including a real Imax screen -- nm - con_carne Jul 9, 14:10
        
        it's a totally meaningless statistic unless you have to actually live in the parts of the city where the murders are actually happening -- nm - charlie Jul 9, 13:50 8
        
        or you pay taxes that go towards fire/police/etc -- nm - Strongbad Jul 9, 13:53 1
        
        you have to pay those regardless -- nm - charlie Jul 9, 13:54
        
        I will admit that I am only going by the perception I get from the news. Never been there. - Bacon Jul 9, 13:52 5
        
        well as long as your bigoted views are informed by a biased media, i guess you get a pass -- nm - charlie Jul 9, 13:53 1
        
        Nice try troll -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 14:00
        
        and if you are going to re-elect Marion Barry after his Crack Smoking arrest then you deserve to get stigmatized by the rest of the country. -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 13:53 2
        
        That's one ward of DC. Please don't lump everyone in under that. -- nm - MDH Jul 9, 13:56
        
        okay, creepy cracker -- nm - charlie Jul 9, 13:54
      - jeebus. -- nm - Diva Jul 9, 13:41
      - dear god prejudiced much? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 9, 13:38 2
        
        I don't know the demographics all I know is it bounces back and forth as murder capital of the U.S. - Bacon Jul 9, 13:43 1
        
        it hasnt been the murder capital for a while now i believe. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 9, 13:46
  - That Starbucks also doesn't employ 300 people per store -- nm - CQ Jul 9, 13:34 11
    - It should be ALL or NONE. -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 13:34 10
      - only a sith lord deals in absolutes -- nm - CQ Jul 9, 13:42
      - maybe the other stores already do pay a living wage -- nm - charlie Jul 9, 13:38 4
        
        L4. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 9, 13:39
        
        Hahahahahaha! That's a knee slapper! -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 13:39 2
        
        Oh and full health benefits and 401k too!! -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 13:39 1
        
        "The pay rate, which ranges from $6 to $13, is increased by tips" -- (link) - charlie Jul 9, 13:45
      - possibly, but what does starbuck pay vs walmart typically? - tRuMaN Jul 9, 13:36 1
        
        I would guess yes. if not more -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 13:38
      - Yes, because in our black and white world, ever law works that way. -- nm - ty97 Jul 9, 13:36 1
        
        Amazon can sell it's goods there and not have to pay the living wage. I guess you like to penalize brick and mortar stores. -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 13:38
- You want us to pay a living wage? Well, f*ck that! -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jul 9, 13:31
I just reserved spring breakers at redbox. thanks to james bond for the code! -- nm - amanda Jul 9, 13:12
still surprised Burns didn't get into the HOF, but ok with the list otherwise -- nm - Beaker Jul 9, 13:09
How would you describe this shirt? Collarless dress shirt doesn't quite turn up this type of shirt in results. - Mop (190 lbs) Jul 9, 13:08 22
- Thanks guys. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jul 9, 13:30
- Collarless is really the best term. Grandad shirts have a narrow band collar. Crewneck usually doesn't mean a button-up. -- nm - mara Jul 9, 13:21 3
  - Unfortunately, "collarless" is turning up almost universally dress shirts with the little (not fold-down) collar. I guess I'll just get some henley's. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jul 9, 13:22 2
    - Do you have any Zara stores where you live? Seems like something they would carry -- nm - con_carne Jul 9, 13:24
    - Here's one. -- (link) - mara Jul 9, 13:23
- Definitely linen. Beach/summer/spring. It definitely ain't a dress shirt, though -- nm - con_carne Jul 9, 13:19 1
  - Long sleeve, full buttons, shirt pocket. It's a dress shirt except for the collar. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jul 9, 13:23
- I like the shirt, I want to belt sand the model's face. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 9, 13:17
- It's called a banded collar shirt. -- nm - pmb Jul 9, 13:17 1
  - This one isn't banded, though. -- nm - mara Jul 9, 13:21
- comfortable dressy. very italian leisure, -- nm - colin Jul 9, 13:15
- douchy -- nm - decline Jul 9, 13:15 1
  - this is the word that I thought of, too -- nm - zork Jul 9, 13:35
- something for rose hommes. -- nm - Diva Jul 9, 13:14
- douche bag -- nm - CQ Jul 9, 13:12 1
  - Yeah, search eBay for "collarless shirt". It's a gallery of douchebags. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jul 9, 13:23
- ugly -- nm - dogbert Jul 9, 13:12 1
  - close, I'd go with Fugly -- nm - Beaker Jul 9, 13:18
- cheap -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jul 9, 13:11 3
  - Couldn't afford the whole shirt. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jul 9, 13:16 2
    - it's unfinish so it must be cheap -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jul 9, 13:23 1
      - in the world of 1% it costs a lot to look like a bum -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 9, 13:37
LIR: Qatar to spend $200 Billion for 2022 World Cup according to report -- nm - Beaker Jul 9, 13:07 13
- Is that to cover the whole country and air condition it? -- nm - amoxy Jul 9, 13:15
- that's going to be their AC bill alone -- nm - decline Jul 9, 13:15
- JESUS CHRIST! -- nm - Sochi Olympics Organizers Jul 9, 13:11 4
  - ik, r? It's like people don't understand what $200 Billion is. -- nm - Diva Jul 9, 13:13 3
    - That's a spend of about 3*billion* per match. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 9, 13:17 2
      - or $1billion per goal -- nm - dogbert Jul 9, 13:19 1
        
        or $1million per flop -- nm - Strongbad Jul 9, 13:36
- still not enogh to make it an acceptable cup -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jul 9, 13:09 5
  - They need a new trophy. The current one looks like a badly cast attempt at a counterfeit sculpture -- nm - zork Jul 9, 13:31 1
    - atleast it's no the same designer as the guy who designed the LeMens trophy -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jul 9, 13:55
  - World Cup sucks anyway. The best teams don't play. Silly -- nm - CQ Jul 9, 13:12 2
    - well, the best teams do playb but along with a bunch of other countries that are at least a level or two lower -- nm - zork Jul 9, 13:32
    - i agree since we probably won't -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jul 9, 13:24
Without playing a single minute of Minecraft, I have been an expert at modding the game. - Mop (190 lbs) Jul 9, 13:07
