    Did you not watch the game yesterday?

    I agree with you fully. The fact that certain states are still so far behind with paying a wage under $3/hr is archaic and needs to be shamed until it is brought up with federal/re…

    I didn't say that. My point is that people who excel at their jobs should have the ability to be rewarded. Do you disagree?

    True, but at the same time not every bartender makes a great cocktail, or cares to. If people want service levels to race to the bottom this is the way to do it. The main problem w…

    Talent isn't a zero sum game.

    This is awful. I didn't know people felt or did things like this rather than focus on the level and quality of their own work.

    Parden? I'm talking about people getting promoted into positions they aren't qualified for and sinking companies. I really don't care about your sex, race or who you like to invite…

    I'm saying it doesn't seem to matter if they've been mentored or have the proper level of skill to perform the tasks. That said, why should someone more senior train someone to tak…

    Regardless of skill or experience, they seem to be getting promoted over other more qualified individuals, anyway. At least that's what I've noticed in my places of work over the l…

    >starting a sentence with like. Hate me all you want. This is HN. I would enjoy a elevated level of grammar.

    Yes, they will receive back pay, but a lot of people live paycheck to paycheck.

    And live in NYC? That's poverty level.

    If officers who put their life on the line in the most populated/congested city for 150k are overpaid, then I'd like to talk to some software developers in San Francisco.

    Look at what happened with 'Obamacare'. Forcing employers to give people benefits if they work more than 32 hours in a week. The only thing that did was make sure no one in service…

    How do you propose anyone will have a MVP within a day? Which is the purpose of this event. I mentioned giving them a month to develop and build some level of product and anticipat…

    A budding and vocal DNC personality with access to all the information which was gathered gets murdered at 4AM in the streets in a 'botched robbery', someone who championed Bernie,…

    I suppose you're referring to pizza-gate. I'm also assuming you did zero digging into that narrative on your own. Keep eating that gov't cereal from the MSM.

    No.... that's only because this has gone against the narrative you wish existed.

    I've still yet to see any quantifiable data points which say how exactly the elections were swayed due to anything Assange was a part of.

    And because a journalist wants to protect his source (aka. Seth Rich/his family) we have people calling him a traitor and worse. Sadly, this is one time I wish he'd put down his in…
