@theplacehotelly@_UncleMax@zone6nova I'm not being obtuse. Companies go out of business all the time because these costs are not trivial. And federal minimum wage in America is $7.25/hour. Last I checked, a Starbucks coffee isn't $60...yet. If you're talking about illegal wages, that's a separate issue.
@theplacehotelly@_UncleMax@zone6nova "What they produce" is determined by what the table sales for. And the builder is not the only person in the supply chain. Somebody has to gather the supplies (lumber and tools), move equipment, build the factory, maintain the factory, payroll/HR, legal, etc...
@_UncleMax@zone6nova I understand what he's arguing for, and I think he's wrong. How much should the builder get in comparison to the truck driver who delivers the table? Or the custodial staff who keeps the factory clean and sanitary?
@9mmballpoint This is detached from reality. The Left controls virtually all of the culture-shaping institutions. You think everyone notable had an organic rise? Remember "Mattress Girl"? The Justins in Memphis? It happens all the time. It just didn't register to you.
@CollinRugg Who is the audience for this type of NPR-style sports coverage? Saying Gaines wasn't even a good swimmer shows a complete lack of journalistic integrity.
@rosethaaartist It's not new, but neither is the pushback. People like C. Dolores Tucker were shouted down. I think some are having second thoughts and realizing she had a point.
@jasonwhitlock She's celebrating Sophie's 11-point heater to close the game. You've pedestalized her. Nothing in her behavior is out of character from what we've seen of professional athletes for decades. The problem is you wanted her to be a unicorn. Level-set your expectations.
