I'm not going to search through your filth to prove a point. You always do that, everyone knows the bs you post on here. My "unemployed" ass doesn't have time for that.
You really like to throw around insults and make wild claims without any evidence.

If only you were as objective as canada-man, you'd be able to start threads about people whose comments you disagree with, even when you might usually agree with that person. He did this, and you STILL have a problem with it lmao.

You seem to think that because someone is in a particle party that they MUST agree with EVERYTHING that other members believe. This is your problem, and it's a serious mental handicap you need to get over.

On the slopes of Mount Parnassus, Greece
Conservative radio host Ben Shapiro encountered massive disgust and online blowback when he cavalierly suggested that it is poor people’s fault for choosing the wrong job it they are forced to take a second one to get by: “If you had to work more than one job to have a roof over your head or food on the table, you probably shouldn’t have taken the job that’s not paying you enough. That’d be a you problem”

Shapiro’s comments unleashed a torrent of angry rebuttals, some of whom pointed out the falsehood embedded in his logic about how labor markets work, while others pointed out that Shapiro, who comes from a privileged background, sounded just like a “what a spoiled rich kid says.”





"Ben Shapiro's mother was a TV executive and he went to private school, so I'm sure he never had to work more than one job, but I wouldn't ascribe that to his brilliant decision to hold out for higher-paying work, as he apparently does "
Hmmm.....Turns out Ben Shapiro was raised in the middle class. He was born in a 2 bedroom, one bathroom small house in Burbank. He shared a bedroom with 3 sisters till he was 11 years old. In his own words..

It's all interesting discussion, but let's have some perspective. All these talking heads conservative or liberal who offer loads of opinions are just entertainers. The more commotion you make the more you will be booked on a network, the more people will show up to read your blog and listen to your podcast. Then you might have more speaking fees and be able to sell books.

Have you noticed the more measured political commentators don't really get a lot of attention? It's with rare exception that a reasonable and measured political commentator becomes an audience draw on to themselves.

Krauthammer, Conrad Black, Andrew McCarthy, Mark Levine, V. D. Hanson- just off top of my head. There are quite a few, actually who don't have to resort to over the top rabble rousing.

I thought of Krauthammer. Levine is a bit of a rabble rouser. You have to see the myth-building that guys like Levine engage in. I'm not sure the rest of that list is that well-heard outside of the Fox News audience.

I respected Krauthammer immensely because I don't think he offered blind allegiance to party or philosophy. Hanson sounds articulate and measured in his voice. I just haven't heard enough over political cycles. So far, McCarthy has been mostly a legal beagle. Conrad Black is a large character.

It's much easier to get airtime on cable news if you engage in histrionics. That's why a relatively uninteresting Nicolle Wallace on MSNBC said that Donald Trump was "talking about exterminating Latinos". How stupid!

Labor is priced by supply / demand like every other commodity. Unions simply look to constrain supply to drive up price. Professional organization (The Bar) and tenure serve the same role.
They also serve the purpose of knowing someone is properly trained and licenced to do the work.

It's now perfect but a damn sight better then not having it.

That's not always true. Probably not even close to always being true.

Trades, doctors, lawyers, engineers......

I'm happy to pay a bit extra for a professional job. I've seen the results of amateurs on a home reno(when I was ripping my kitchen out) to know there are some things you don't mess around with.

It doesn't guarantee as I said. But it adds a big layer against amateurs.

And what do unions have to do with any of this? Trade guilds are as old as trades themselves and have precious little to do with quality, but everything to do with price. Price fixing and monopolies got their start in guilds and charters.

You are really stupid. You have no legit comeback for your bigoted posts so you have to call me a stalker. Also racism to you is being called out for your support of racism to people of your own race. I thought you put me on ignore? It shows you can't get enough of me.
Where do you work btw? I'd like to apply.
Well, in all fairness you are a stalker.

That may be so, but you have a healthy skepticism of "for profit" healthcare. Surely, you have seen how the American Medical Association in the U.S. has extensively lobbied to restrict medical school openings, restrict competition and limit access to healthcare solutions? Although to a lesser extent, the American Bar Association also lobbies for the same thing in our states.

You carefully selected fields that require a high degree of education and training. What about taxi cab medallions/licenses and cities efforts to curb ride sharing services? Does your masseuse and your hairdresser really need "certified" training and a license?

Probably true...and I would still happily pay the extra cost of seeing a licensed physician vs some hack without any formal certification. It’s a trade-off, I suppose.
