You want cheap labor?
It's called Africa. Keep that slavery shit out of here.

Economists are ofc shitting their pants over this and demanding more skilled labor from overseas to compensate. One might wonder if bringing in more migrants into a contracting economy would contribute to the already staggering number of unemployed men, but I don't have an MBA from Harvard so I guess I just can't understand their logic.

Is there some middle-ground for euthanasia?
Something like: Medics cannot talk about it, nor offer it, but family members can perform it?

I am quite lost at the topic, especially considering, how my step mom expressed a huge fear of living years in never ending pain.

After going on a diet for a while, and trying several of them, I found, that I can barely stomach most wheat products anymore.

@lain
Yes.
I get 50 000, and a guarantee, that the guy I hate dies of overdose. (In the worst case. In better case, mafia gets him)

Elon is a pussy. He's unsuspending the liberal journos who tried to have his son assassinated in 7 days, but still leaving millions of right-of-center accounts banned by the old regime suspended forever. He's the Donald Trump of social media.

@JohnGritt
Here is a challange.
Go to a fast foor/sweet shop, and just tell them to choose, what you'll get.

1/2... At least half of the times, these "independent minded people" cannot tell you "I like our hot chocolate" etc. They are worse then machines.

Unfortunately, the comic is simplistic. The issue has more facets:

1. For minimum wage today to equal the buying power of minimum wage in 1980, minimum wage in 2022 ought to be about $27 / hour.

2. Immigration, both legal and illegal suppresses the natural rate of wages. It leads to less capital formation per capita and thus keeps people poorer while enriching investors unduly.

3. Because of artificially low minimum wage, i.e., Congress mandated wage vs competitive market for wages, there is excessive malinvestment in the retail sector including in fast food restaurants. The economy that has resulted is one from distortion rather than from the hidden forces of competition.
