Economic freedom won out overwhelmingly. I thought you said a $25 minimum wage in Switzerland would be "soon" and was an example of why they kick ass. Looks like they will still kick ass without any government imposed price floors on wages.
I did lol at the NY Times libtarted spin on it.

I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't show up around here for awhile after he outed himself that he doesn't understand basic economics... shit that you learn in DECA in high school.

Looks like the poles won this round and the outcome won't be decided on the field, at least for now. The Colorado Buffaloes or the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Which one was the champion? Or was it both, or neither?

Economics is all about the zero sum game. And minimum wage exists for a reason. If people were inherently good we wouldn't need imperfect entities like governments stepping in and holding back the dirty deed doers among us. Like a lot of things in life, a few shitheads ruin it for everyone else. Henry Ford supported unbridled economic freedom where there are no bounds and limits. He also used slave labor in Nazi Germany to achieve his ends. Fucks like these will exist in every time period and laws should exist to restrain them from doing as they see fit. If left to their own devices without being partly bound and chained by laws, they would monopolize everything and you'd be working like a Chinaman for 50 cents an hour at the US Nike factory.CuntWaffle said:I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't show up around here for awhile after he outed himself that he doesn't understand basic economics... shit that you learn in DECA in high school.

Still doesn't get it. Consider for a moment that we're not still passing around the same mammoth hide blanket.oregonblitzkrieg said:

The reference to a mammoth hide blanket overwhelmed the fallacy of your metaphor and earned you an awesome. However we're not passing around the same mammoth hide blanket because they are no longer a form of currency, and because mammoths were hunted to extinction because the demand outstripped the supply. Mammoths simply could not keep fucking each other at the rate required to satisfy the needs of the cavemen. Many cavemen gave their lives protecting the coveted mammoth hides they hoarded. Some were probably forced to watch their wives get pickled by horny raiders before they expired.GrundleStiltzkin said:

So too our modern currencies are in limited supply with demand constantly outstripping the supply. This creates an arena where everyone is an enemy competing for the same valuables. We are no different than caveman. Even hippies on acid can understand this simple concept. There's only so much hash to pass around when singing kumbaya. If a small group of hippies in the commune decided one night that they needed to get higher than the rest and took a bit more, the hippy sleeping a few tents down is going without because his brothers smoked it all.
