    “Make minimum wage a living wage?”
    “How much would that be?”
    “You think all the poor people should die!”

    If your fingers were any further in your ears, the tips would be touching.

    I hope you become willing to use your brain one day.

      I didn’t expect you to do anything else than continue that particular charade, and you didn’t disappoint.

      You’re not doing anything original though, you sound juuuust like all the other temporarily embarrassed millionaires (and real ones, for that matter) that vote against anything even remotely humane.

      Free lunch for the children? Fuck no. A wage you can prosper on? Think of the shareholders! Adequate nutrition? Eat cake, or something. etc.

      You may think your arguments are completely normal, but they are anything but, no matter how much bullshit you try to spin. It’s pretty telling that all your arguments so far have been personal attacks and not much else.

      After all I’m just one of those poor people that doesn’t know his place, right?

        It’s truly pathetic to be this proud of strawmanning someone.

        It’s pretty telling that all your arguments so far have been personal attacks and not much else.

        LMAO, this literally the exact opposite of the truth! All the personal attacks are coming AT me, not from me.

        On what planet is pointing out weaknesses in an argument a personal attack? I’m trying to get you guys to come up with a proposal that has some actual substance. How the fuck do you expect this to actually happen if this is how you react to someone asking you to properly structure your plan?

        You will never, ever, effect any sort of ‘living wage’ legislation if you can’t even define it. You won’t even reach the first step of making it a thing. That’s the reality check–you don’t even actually know what you want!

        This is what’s happening here: https://imgflip.com/i/8moz5y

          You know who else avoids ever having to change things by saying it’s impossible?

          I’ll help you; it’s the ones profiting from the current system and for some reason you’re defending that system and the ones that perpetuate it.

          You questioned my reading comprehension several times and I’d dare say that qualifies as a personal attack. The problem isn’t my comprehension, it’s your half-assed rhetoric.

            What an idiotic sentence to say to someone who literally never said anything was impossible.

            You questioned my reading comprehension several times and I’d dare say that qualifies as a personal attack.

            When you respond to a statement in a way that makes it clear you did not at all understand what you read, pointing out the lack of reading comprehension is stating a fact, not an insult.

            The above is another perfect example. You want to compare me to someone else, as having “avoids ever having to change things by saying it’s impossible” in common, when I literally never said anything was impossible.

            If you are reading things that are literally not there, that is a lack of reading comprehension. It’s no more of a “personal attack” to point that out, than it is to say that someone who just finished saying 2 + 2 = 5, is bad at math.

            Ironically, I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt. I could argue that you’re deliberately and maliciously putting words in my mouth, instead of genuinely not understanding what I wrote. Accusing you of being dishonest in that way, now that would be a personal attack.

              If your logic was sound, which it isn’t, understanding something would be the same thing as agreeing with it.

              I understand your text, I just don’t agree with the underlying motion. I don’t understand how or why a functional adult would have your opinions.

              Maybe you’re young and/or delusional, maybe you’re some sort of bad actor or perhaps you just don’t give a shit about other people. Whichever it is it’s coming through pretty blatantly.

              As other people pointed out, you’re taking the “politically correct” way, but it still leads to the same endgame.

                Word salad, and you still can’t define “living wage”. Enjoy the impossible errand of enacting a change you can’t even articulate, I guess.

                  I never said I had any plans to implement any of this. I just wanted to call you out on your bullshit.

                    So it’s just impotent whining for no reason, then? lol

                    I just wanted to call you out on your bullshit.

                    You can’t even identify a single thing I said that is not true, lmao. Nice fantasy world you live in.
