When you fuck up, you get the manager on the phone, and ask them to make it right. And the corporation, I shit you not, wants me to make it right for you.
Okay, Okay, I’m being a little too negative.
If I am nice to you and make it right, eventually you’ll figure out how to use our website correctly and order from us for years and years.
On the one hand, it’s a smart move. But, it’s not saving any money on labor, which was my thesis.
In fact, the additional business?* Means I need to hire more people.*
I noticed on The Daily show he was struggling with dry mouth again.
That guy doesn’t strike me as someone who can handle high stress situations. Not exactly a quality I look for in a President.
I haven’t read his book, but I got the impression he thinks (or says he thinks) that tax cuts and deregulation will somehow stimulate the private sector and create jobs.
But do other candidates have his hypnotic power, such that he can stare at the tv camera and sneak a drink of water without you even noticing? Now, that is a power to be reckoned with! Imagine, he gets Netanyahu and Abbas in the same room and unleashes his hypnotic power, and in moments they are falling into each others arms and swearing eternal friendship!
Or, at least, he can sneak a drink of water without their noticing.
What really bothers me is that so many poor, working class Republicans have bought into this line of argument hook, line, and sinker. It hurts them to maintain the status quo but they do it, because some of them are religious nutjobs and the GOP represents their ideal version of a Christian America, some of them are too stupid to know a thing about economics, and some of them are just plain terrible people. I’ll wager the conservatives who speak up on this board are not part of the 1%, so that means they’re either religious idiots, stupid, or evil.
I know that’s the standard Republican position. But if Rubio is arguing that automation is eliminating jobs, he’s already moved outside that position. Tax cuts and deregulation would presumably just increase the automation rate.
Okay, I get that he’s opposed to a minimum wage hike because Republican. But, what was the other part of his big plan? Something about an earned income tax credit thing, that would be even better than a wage increase? How does that work?
He’s suggesting eliminating the EITC as an income-tax credit, and portioning the same credit out over the course of the year as a paycheck credit (or rather, as an offset to federal income tax withholding). In theory, that would increase overall buying power on a paycheck-to paycheck basis and would not devolve to the employer as (in theory) a minimum-wage hike would do.
There was also something about helping folks out with Community college and they were going to get to it and then went to commercial and when they came back credits were rolling, at least for me.
