UC Berkeley Touts $15 Minimum Wage Law, Then Fires Hundreds Of Workers After It Passes

 

[Blarg]

Progress!

[Spirit]

Berkeley is feeling the Bern! 

 

 

Their ex-employees are just feeling burned. 

[gotbeer]

Now if economics works the way it should.  Student tuition should go up to cover the $150 million in losses for the year. 

 

Right?  Right?

[Jason]

It's the only way they'll learn

[arch stanton]

The very first paragraph talks about liberal elites so there's no way it could be biased, right?

[Spirit]

I agree with Arch.  Saying "elite" is redundant. 

[Amazing Larry]

We all agree it should be replaced by "pussies".

[Amazing Larry]

BTW it's an editorial Arch. It's biased by definition.

[arch stanton]

Yeah but using a phrase like that tells you that the readership they're aiming at isn't exactly Berkley grads.

[Stradling]

It's cool bro now they have more time to get high

[Spirit]

It's investors.com, of course it's not aimed at Berkley grads.  If it were aimed at Berkley grads it would be at interpretivedanceandweed.edu

[Stradling]

I actually think it's kind of creative that Cals can go and bang strippers and use it as a write off.

Colt, a write off is something you can do when you get to fill out the long form on your taxes. This happens when you have success and own stuff.

(Insert "the more you know" meme here)

This fear of one old man giving the same stump speech over and over again is a great example of white conservative pussies. Geoff, Adam, Strad, Mt, calscuf. and Nate come across as scared little vaginas.

Whats really funny is calscuf will judge some nameless stoner who wishes their lifestyle wasnt considered a felony, meanwhile calscuf can cheat the system in order to afford to bang strippers and thats somehow american.

Big. Hypocritical. Pussies.

With no ideas of their own.

I don't think anyone has been hostile toward you. Maybe I'm wrong.

The government is corrupt and inefficient. Granting it more power and resources is never a good thing. Bernies ideas are completely unrealistic. If there were a blow job candidate that were fighting for every man to get a daily government sponsored blowjob from hot government chicks he'd get a lot of support too.

[tdawg87]

Ha ha. Stupid f'ing hippies.

What are black hippies called? Blippies?

Shit you just stole the entire basis of my campaign for office!

[Make Angels Great Again]

The only reason his ideas are unrealistic in your guys minds are because people want to actively fight against them happening when they're even talked about.

[Blarg]

No, it's because there is no financial resources to fund these programs without seriously taxing the shit out of the middle class until they have no purchasing power at all.

[ABC]

I would get Bernie (and Trump) supporters if they wanted him in because the current guard is part of the machine that doesn't get shit done. But his other ideas aren't good. 

[wopphil]

We are $19 trillion in debt, and running huge budget deficits every year. And yet the left thinks we have the ability to keep spending, and wants us to spend even more.

Lefties, where do you suppose we get the money to not only cut the deficit, but also fund all these social programs. Don't say raising the taxes of the wealthiest 2%, as that won't raise very much money.

not only that. I, along with everyone here, will bever be in the 2 percent. Ill never be in the 22 percent. But when inread about anyone getting taxed more, it sounds fine for the ridiculously rich, but then i remember somebody out there could say the same about me. So IMO, you have to really ask why it would be "fair".

If some company does a lot of work overseas, and needs the govt (military) to protect them, sure, they deserve to pay more for services. But i always think in terms of my neighbors. I make more than some, some make more than me. But our kids go to the same schools, we drive the same roads. Not sure i can look next door and assume he should pay more than me because i got a better job, and vice versa

[Tank]

The only reason his ideas are unrealistic in your guys minds are because people want to actively fight to keep the money they've worked so hard to earn instead of handing more of it over to a gov't that has unequivocally proved again and again it doesn't know how to manage money.

 

fixed.

Shut up, you Big. Hypocritical. Pussy.

[Spirit]

I'm the nicest guy in AngelsWin (behind Tank), I don't know why colt would randomly select me to berate.

 

 

Maybe because you're a Big. Hypocritical. Pussy.
