Healthcare is more expensive than it was when it was passed and with less choices. The minimum wage hurts people in a variety of ways and is arbitrary.

It's a shame that the US has so low mininum wages. It's impossible to live with that pay. In Norway there is no mininum wages, because it's expected to get a reasonable pay (of course it's not a perfect system either since "reasonable pay" is very subjective, and some workplaces sucks. However, they are much better than the US' mininum pay).

I think everyone else who worked there was paid below minimum wage which is illegal as far as I am aware of. |

Why even bother? |

I only worked at a restaraunt for 2 days and hated it. No more restaraunt work for me because this helped me realize its not what I want to do. |

The food business is nasty (not the food, but the people in it and the customers). |

I didn't really know him to well other then the times we talked. I should have made $64 but only made $46. I never really signed any papers so thats how much they gave me for 8 hours of work. |

Inflation just gets higher, it is a constant, but the salaries are the same, so people are making a lot less than 20 years ago. When you go buy something you feel it.
People blame NATO and the TPP which I agree are bad for US at first but work towards globalization, basically the whole no borders thing. But the real reason of inflation is the federal reserve bank.
If someone could remove that then all debt disappears which is made up in the first place and we could start from scratch, but that's never going to happen.
Trump slows down globalization, but that's just a temporary compromise because otherwise people in the rural areas would go commando and no body wants that.
The protests in major cities are insignificant compared to that, not to mention the lost of faith in the system, and the possible conflict with Russia.
Maybe the electoral collage is thinking ahead or maybe it is just coincidence. However something tells me this is just on hold, if things are going to unravel, they will eventually do no matter what.

Guilion why don't you play my game, Balder's Gate? Isn't that the game where women are shamed for being headstrong and using a magic potion to change your gender is a big deal or something? To be fair Dan, Trump did have a better game than yours. I know games. I have the best games. The best samurai in the world doesn't have to fear the second best samurai in the world Dan, he has to fear the moron that has never touched a sword in his life. Sorry, Guilion why don't you play my game, Balder's Gate? Because you're a loser. Guilion likes winners. Damn straight, that's why I have a copy of Mike Tyson's Punch Out instead of the normal and boring Punch-Out. |

Guilion to be honest I've never even played Baldur's Gate, but I'm tempted because of the name.

Balder Play Planescape Torment first. They use the same engine. However, P:T is story over gameplay with BG the other way around.
