When I was 13 years old, I went to school and sang, “ old MacDonald was dyslexic o e o e i”. I got suspended for three days for making fun of people with mental disabilities.

Placebonickname@lemmy.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Damn Fox, you didn't have to turn me on more.415·1 day agomy two cents (and if my upvotes are any indication my two cents is worthless) the real problem is that when you raise the minimum wage, you build an opportunity for companies to raise the prices on everything, and then we get into an inflation problem.
Example, my home state can raise minimum wage from 9 to 12 dollars an hour, but that 25% increase in pay would be all the excuse Walmart would need to jack up the prices to cover their loses;
Not saying we shouldn’t have a working/livable wage, but we gotta do something that forces companies to pay the workers more, and the owners/CEO less some how. Like an inverse tax calculation that benefits the company for paying lots of people more, instead of just the few at the time a premium.
I’m sure an economist can explain this better.
Yeah, if you don’t like LinkedIn I just wouldn’t use it, no one is forcing us to use it. But I guess I’ll take the downvotes cause I’m not smart enough to think like everyone else. :)
I don’t find it useful, but every now and then I see an interesting article posted. I will say that LinkedIn premium for people who run small businesses is absurdly expensive
Whats wrong with LinkedIn?

Placebonickname@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•AOC says Trump's Iran strikes "clearly grounds for impeachment"0·5 days agoI will go fuck myself. But let’s be fair. Clinton and Obama both dropped bombs(Obama did it theu drone strikes) on Iraq and other places like Yeman. Must be realistic about what “impeachable offenses” are and since “official acts” are off the table for presidential prosecution we should look to see if an act was “unofficial” i.e. illegal.
Placebonickname@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•AOC says Trump's Iran strikes "clearly grounds for impeachment"0·5 days agoWe’d have to prove that Trump was inappropriately influenced by an outside power before I support impeachment. Even though my gut tells me he probably traded bombs for a bucket of fried chicken…
I haven’t been reading too much news lately. What is going on with Jeff Bezos and why are people protesting him?
