    No, they don't. And haven't for 35 years.

    Avoiding pregnancy is a key component of women's health

    Given that this was written in 1729, I'm not personally acquainted with the author.

    White Privilege

    Perhaps if 40%+ of low-income schools got their fair share of state and local funds, these problems might not be so troublesome. Or not exist at all.

    Arguments Against Raising Minimum Wage Don't Hold up

    Since you quoted me, I assume your post is intended to have something to do with mine. But the "last time we raised the min wage" was five years ago. The divergence I spoke of was 35 years ago.

    Data: a set of values of qualitative or quantitative variables; restated, pieces of data are individual pieces of information. No such stipulation is accepted. Sorry.

    LEFTIST LAWMAKERS AND ENVIRO-EXTREMISTS CREATED CA WATER CRISIS

    And you refuse to address the reasons why the govt let the water run into the ocean. And to suggest that this is the entire reason why CA has a water problem is idiotic. Has the word "drought" come up in your explorations?

    Arguments Against Raising Minimum Wage Don't Hold up

    Lol all you like, but so far your "well-reasoned arguments" are nothing more than the usual patrician rationalization. The "theories" worked just fine until the late 70s/early 80s when productivity and wage growth began to diverge. But you're probably too young to remember.

    Avoiding pregnancy is a key component of women's health

    It is a melancholy object to those, who walk through this great town, or travel in the country, when they see the streets, the roads and cabbin-doors crowded with beggars of the female sex, followed by three, four, or six children, all in rags, and importuning every passenger for an alms. These...

    LEFTIST LAWMAKERS AND ENVIRO-EXTREMISTS CREATED CA WATER CRISIS

    Perhaps you mean the 28th. John Stossel. Fox Business News. Nonetheless, I suspect the residents of Toledo would disagree.

    Arguments Against Raising Minimum Wage Don't Hold up

    Actually the present arrangement is rather new, though there are those who'd like to see an eventual return to the 19th-century feudal system. A few decades ago, the average executive compensation was 20 times the wage of the average worker. Now it's over 300 times. It's nearly 800 times the...

    LEFTIST LAWMAKERS AND ENVIRO-EXTREMISTS CREATED CA WATER CRISIS

    Actually, there's a bit more to it than that. One's point-of-view may depend on whether his sympathies lie with those who make their living by farming or those who make their living by fishing. It's easy to find a variety of viewpoints by googling, as opposed to living on a steady diet of breitbart.

    Arguments Against Raising Minimum Wage Don't Hold up

    Economics, economists, textbooks, hypotheticals, the management view. In the end, though, the minimum-wage worker still can't support his family.

    Arguments Against Raising Minimum Wage Don't Hold up

    Taxes are what you pay for the privilege of living and working in whatever society you've chosen. As for your food stamp and Social Security proposals, why don't you work something up and get back to us? You could change the face of welfare governance.

    Waste in Federal Government

    Maybe it's the same reason rightwing pundits are obese. Rush Limbaugh looks sort of like a lesbian.

    Avoiding pregnancy is a key component of women's health

    You might also point out that women "kill" untold numbers of potential human beings every time they menstruate. But nobody gets all worked up into a moral how-do-you-do about it. Eventually, we'll be killing billions of potential human beings every time we bathe.

    It comes from taxes. How would you administer your program so that it costs as little as you think it would?

    Arguments Against Raising Minimum Wage Don't Hold up

    How much? And who would administer that? Who would police it? How? And this website would appear by magic, and no one would be required to administer the program represented by the website? That's pretty amazing stuff.

    Breitbart and Fox, well my, my, my. Why don't we look at this from a different viewpoint?

    Sorry. I thought you were showing some compassion for the minimum-wage worker. My mistake.
