Lots of chatter that this jobs report adds support to a June rate hike by the Fed -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 06:05 1

January +257K jobs. Nov/Dec revised up. Participation rates up. Hourly wages up. Dec wages revised higher. -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 05:41 8
- "Canada added 35,000 jobs in January, far surpassing the slight gain that economists had been expecting" -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 05:54
- ~EVERYTHING IS AWESOME~ -- nm - Max Feb 6, 05:52
- That's higher than expected, right? I thought I heard they were expecting around 225k -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 05:44 2
  - Yep, both jobs and wage gains beat -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 05:45 1
    - Nice! Hopefully this keeps going throughout the year. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 05:58

AP Poll: Americans favor allowing same-sex marriages, also favor allowing wedding businesses the choice whether to deny service. -- (link) - Strongbad Feb 6, 04:22 34
- I basically share that same sentiment, and got punched by st when i expressed it earlier this week. so, yeah thats all. -- nm - Truman Feb 6, 05:50 9
  - [deleted] 1
    - this idiotic reply makes me want to just say - Truman Feb 6, 06:22
  - It's not a good feeling when you are rejected because of who you are or what you believe. - Roger More Feb 6, 05:59
  - It's no different than denying services to any other minority group. - Krusty Feb 6, 05:57 3
    - i never said i was ok with it, i just dont like the idea of government having to regulate this into law - Truman Feb 6, 06:25 2
      - I get your point. I wasn't sure where you were coming from originally but I didn't think you were okay with it. - Krusty Feb 6, 06:29 1
        
        yours isnt the response that is going to keep me away today, and tomorrow -- nm - Truman Feb 6, 06:30
  - We're just saying that you haven't quite played that scenario all the way through. -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 05:56
  - i dont agree that judges should be allowed to use "religious exemption" bit though that they asked about. that seems wrong. -- nm - Truman Feb 6, 05:51
- I can't believe so many people think it's okay to discriminate and refuse services. How soon we forget our past. For shame on them all. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 05:17 23
  - some of the mindset is "There's 500 florists to pick from. If I choose to deny, they will just call the next one on the list." - Strongbad Feb 6, 05:28 22
    - A not-thought-through mindset. A lot of places don't have 500 florists. -- nm - Roger More Feb 6, 05:36
    - But that's the same mindset in "I will deny to service this interracial marriage" or "I will deny service to redheads" -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 05:32 20
      - (although you could deny service to redheads, as they're not a protected group) -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 06:05
      - Let's not be too hasty on the redhead thing. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 6, 05:45 1
        
        Perhaps a "no shirt, no shoes, no soul, no service." tagline would cover it? -- nm - Inigo Feb 6, 05:46
      - yup -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 05:39
      - I agree. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 6, 05:35
      - Exactly! You don't get to do that. Either you serve everyone or close up shop and serve no one. - Krusty Feb 6, 05:35 14
        
        If you own a private business, you get to do that. I see nothing wrong with it. I hope they fail miserably, but it's their perogative - CQ Feb 6, 05:59 13
        
        That's not true at all. Private as well as public business can't discriminate. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:02 8
        
        I'm just going to admit I'm wrong in this whole thread and wish I never said anything. sorry -- nm - CQ Feb 6, 06:06 7
        
        Haha! We all have that moment when we wish we never posted something. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:11
        
        I don't think anyone is saying you're a bad person - at least not for this reason. -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 06:08 5
        
        I'm not doing a very good job of relaying my meaning. I'll try to explain within - CQ Feb 6, 06:15 1
        
        Yeah, I'm with you there. You can definitely refuse service to people that are A-holes. Like you said, bars do it all the time. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:28

        It's a shorts and flip flops weekend for me. Screw you -- nm - CQ Feb 6, 06:17

        lunch counters in the south were private businesses. -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 06:01
        
        But that's not true. -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 06:00 2
        
        it may not be "true" but it happens. -- nm - CQ Feb 6, 06:01 1
        
        And hopefully people that are refused services sue their asses off. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:03

      - Yes, at the end. So far at the end, it may be in front of Mad Max: Fury Road instead. -- (link) - Mop Feb 5, 21:31
