Yes, the climate change movement is all about money. No question about it.
All companies are out to maximize profits for shareholders. Whether they be in fossil fuels or make iPhones. Companies have a fiduciary responsibility to do so. You do have the option of not supporting companies you disagree with. (Try that with a government tax or regulation...)

Well, I think Trump is just the Republican version of Obama. A self-centered, egotistical, kind of person. It's all about Trump! He seems like a blowhard. I also don't think he's a Reagan-like conservative. He's had some positions in his past that seem more Progressive. And the guy is always about making a deal. So I could imagine him cutting corners just to make a deal. His comments and plans seem like they'd get thrown out by the Supreme Court. Sure, it's populism but it's pointless.

I'm leaning Rubio right now, just because he seems the most informed and is able to communicate effectively. He's not without flaws, but seems like the best of the bunch. He also seems to have a bit of a sense of humor. I think that's needed as well.

I like Carly, too. She's also always very prepared. But she has the HPQ weight around her neck. Might make a good cabinet member in a GOP administration.

But Hillary probably has this thing all locked up. Just demographics at this point.

My 2-cents anyway!

Thanks for reading and commenting.

There you go again. Lol.

I do have pity for you, and I'm sorry you're so angry.

Costco limits choice and restricts the merchandise they do carry.

They also charge a membership fee, which contributes significantly to their bottom line.
I'm all for them doing whatever they want to in a free market. As long as they can generate a profit and stay in business, more power to them!

That's about what I expected from you. Lol. Ugh.

You're understanding of economics is unsound. You need to understand the basics before you type another word. If you tried to start a business with your ideas you'd be out of business very quickly.

There you go again. Your anger is not a substitute for intelligence. When you can't compete in a discussion, you should use it as an opportunity to go learn something instead of showing yourself to be weak.

You don't understand the topic. You're going to have to go down the learning curve before you can form a coherent argument.

Get back to me when you start a business and run those other companies out of business by paying higher wages!
Quit your bitching and show them a thing or two!

Re: Cashin' In Crew Fearmongers Over Seattle Raising Minimum Wage

muckdog — Sat, 21 Mar 2015 21:44:07 -0000

Well, why don't you start a business and show them how it's done!

Until then STFU, dummy!

I have a challenge for you: Read a book.

Try it sometime.

Typical lefty. You don't know enough about the topic so you go where you're most familiar. Haters gonna hate.

Re: Cashin' In Crew Fearmongers Over Seattle Raising Minimum Wage

That's way off base. You must have misheard or misunderstood something.

Deflect all you want. That's what you folks do when you don't understand.

Depends on the business but for most companies labor is the largest expense.

Re: Cashin' In Crew Fearmongers Over Seattle Raising Minimum Wage

muckdog — Sat, 21 Mar 2015 17:36:39 -0000

Not necessarily because of competition. But if everyone's cost of labor increases then they will all increase prices.

You're an economic denier

Re: Cashin' In Crew Fearmongers Over Seattle Raising Minimum Wage

muckdog — Sat, 21 Mar 2015 17:24:38 -0000

If the cost of labor increases, they will raise prices.

They won't operate at a loss. They're not the government.

Businesses just raise prices. Other wages increase. And back to where we were prior to the wage hike. Happens every time.

Whoa, you sound like an article from the 1930s or 1960s!

Pretending that the status quo will last forever is an error made by the uneducated.

Many republicans stayed home in 2012 because they didn't like Romney.

They love Walker.

Just a heads up so you know in advance, cookie.

Romney was about 330,000 votes short of an electoral college win.

Walker will easily win the battle of the states in our electoral college system.
