Mexico’s independence came on Sept 16 1810. Cinco de Mayo celebrates their victory over the French in the battle of Puebla 50 years later
I’m aware. Where did I say it celebrated Mexican independence? Lol did you notice that is a joke meme? Three Amigos? Idk I loved that movie as a kid.
 
That's a kind of jerky way to put it, but we should address poverty (separate issue from inequality or optimal distribution and ideal MWs) through direct cash transfers rather than trying to engineer it so that every job pays enough to support an arbitrary number of people. The other one is more annoying because it's part of a class of bad arguments that are really poisonous. Almost every policy change has tradeoffs, but people have a hard time being careful to accurately represent the size of potential bad effects (in that specific case, could a MW hike raise the minimum prices at which a business can survive? Sure, but the level of the increase would be very small, and the firms affected likely have minimal pricing power--whatever one thinks about MW, that's not an important counter), which in turn means that other people are incentivized not to acknowledge any bad effects, which turns the whole argument into a charade. People aren't examining the evidence and reasoning to find out the truth; they're just using whatever hammers they can find to hit the other guy with.

Th first para kind of highlights the different models. Some argue that the Nordic model works better because by setting higher wage standards you force employers to be more productive with the jobs they do create. I read the argument laid out in “The Economics of Belonging”, and I did not find it very convincing. I agree more with the cash transfer approach with some minimum wage floor.
 
I just had cosmetic damage but it'll still probably cost a couple of grand. The cop just told me to pick up a copy of the report in a couple of days.
Id still call the insurance company now to get paperwork started so you get paid asap and tell them you'll mail the report as soon as you get it.
 
Seen that video. One of the pieces of shit was more concerned about her cellphone than the guy lying on the sidewalk dying/dead. Fuck them. They shouldn't be allowed back on the streets for a very long time. Don't care if it's juve or adult prison, but I think they should be locked up.

I won't watch that. I read a description of the video and I'm positive watching it would just bum me out.

Has it been confirmed that the family wasn’t consulted for the plea? That can happen often.

Couldn't find confirmation, so I'll withhold judgement on the plea regardless of how I feel. I mean, wouldn't it be standard practice for prosecutors to ask the family for approval first? That's crazy to imagine that they wouldn't. I know these girls are young, but that doesn't trump the heartbreak they caused Anwar's family.
