Allow me to take these blinders off of you and show you the entire industry that is hiring illegals to pick your produce. In fact, do a search for "H2 workers" and be amazed by the wonders of our legal system.
Oh - You really showed me - Fail.
Then people can go to where the laws are how they like them instead of having bad ones forced on them at a federal level.
For one, not everyone wants to move. Many of the people who call for a hands-off federal government would be quick to emphasize the value of family and stable local communities. Conservatives everywhere deplore the brain-drain and family disruption that comes with people migrating away from an area for better work elsewhere
Why one could just believe that they are selfish pricks, who just find everything in life as an example of something that affirms their beliefs.
It's usually hypocritical though, and seen through the eye of a pig.
First off, in their "we will only be wealthy when you are as poor as possible" outlook, where a minimum wage doesn't exist, giving any employee any raise immediately causes the economy to fail, and causes employers to throuw up their hands in defeat, and close their food stand, and we all starve to death.
But then there's that little thing of places like McDonald's giving employees directions on how to apply for food stamps and other Government assistance. Or WalMart employees - 80 percent of them are on Government assistance to the tune of 2.66 billion dollars per year.
So right off the bat, insistence on the type of minimum wage we have now automatically means approval of massive Government handouts. Sounds kind of like business based socialism to me.
But now back to the thread. So this slackard, drain on the economy worker, after being laid off at the local WalMart, is going to pack up their family, and strike out for the other side of the country....... for what? Another minimum wage job at another WalMart? If they are hiring, maybe. If not, well, that will help curb the excess population.
Show me an area with a high minimum wage and I'll show you an area with a large illegal labor force making less.
I travel all around the country and that's a very constant result. If you want to increase wages then 1) invest in education, and 2) change Free Trade to Fair Trade.
Actually, why don't you show us? Give us the stats, man, or you're just one more trickle downer refusing to accept the idea that people who make some money, spend some money.
Is this some kind of anglo-american thing? Over here the reason commercial entities get tax breaks is because they should be operating to the benefit of society.

Questions?
people have been getting carjacked for some time, but it would suck if all tesla cars across the nation were carjacked at 70mPH on the freeway
Don't read the news? The Internetz is a-coming to all cars, not just the evil spawn of Satan Teslas. Perhaps the Internal combustion cars will be immune?
You know, this was a way for Tesla to improve their vehicles. They have a slightly different paradigm. Find the problem, and fix it. Somewhat Different than GM's approach to their deadly ignition switch problem.
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06...
But hey - it was an internal combustion engine, so it's just fine - right?
This isn't aimed specifically at you, but to all the asshats who get a raging boner every time Tesla gets a scratch in a paint job or has a flat tire.
You cannot support one, without full acceptance of the other.
I disagree. It's possible to accept the fact that criminals will get away and yet not support executions at all, which is what I do.
That's changing the argument. Anyhow, I wasn't disagreeing with you.
My response was to the AC posting:
Innocent people getting executed is perfectly acceptable to me as long as the error rates are low. The order of society is far more important than a single insignificant persons life.
As for accepting criminals getting away with their acts, I understand that. We cannot engineer a perfect criminal justice system. There are mistakes, there are some times criminal acts along the way. But I won't ever say to a person - well you weren't really guilty, but hey, that's the breaks dude.Society benefits by your improper incarceration.
The thing that is so odd about the "Acceptable level" of false positives crowd, that in a country that really really wants to make sure someone goes to jail, I always have three questions for the tough on crime crowd:
1. You like to be tough on crime - Why do you approve of allowing criminals to go free? Sounds like liberal claptrap to me....
2. How many guilty murderers do you find okay to let go free. 10 , 100, all of them?
3. are you accepting of being personally executed for a murder you didn't commit? Your wife? Your children?
And it doesn't have to be about capital crimes, just if a person is accepting of having say his or her life destroyed for something they didn't do. 40 years of 3 hots and a cot, and don't forget your own vaseline, sometimes Bubba gets sand in his.
You see, I'm not actually arguing with you - this was just a place to jump in.
If, however, it tickets even one law-abiding driver, then it very much needs an angry mob ripping these damned things down from the poles, throwing them on the front lawn of City Hall, and demanding an end to the outsourcing of "justice" to for-profit companies.
Only because the populous is too stupid to understand numbers. Innocent people getting executed is perfectly acceptable to me as long as the error rates are low. The order of society is far more important than a single insignificant persons life.
That's because you're what is technically and by the numbers called an "asshole".
He's also full of shit, and a hypocrite. Beneath contempt would be screaming about justice denied if say his wife or kid was killed, for not doing anything wrong, or put on trail and executed, and it turned out to be an error.
Or perhaps after a cop accidentally shoots him because he was scratching his nuts in public, with his dying breath, would say - "it's okay officer - you probably don't kill too many people "
If Beneath Contempt is still willing to continue to display his idiocy here, perhaps if he could comment on this Justice for profit, related incident. When two judges in Scranton PA recieved money kickbacks for sentencing children to a for profit detention center. Many of these children did nothing that in a normal law system would just get a lecture.

But is corruption and imprisoning people for personal gain okay if the "error rates are low?" 6000 kids out of all th ejuvenile system is pretty low - right? How about if your kid was sent to juvie for a year for say.
Acceptable error rates in criminal/civil matters are 0. We won't ever hit that number, but anything higher is just not acceptable. We must always strive for only punishing the guilty, Anything else means we accept the guilty going free.
Unless you are personally working to change our justice system, you are no better than the person you accuse of being a sociopath.
Nonsense. It's possible to be apathetic without cheering on wrongful executions, you know. You can be better than the person above by not saying that this sort of nonsense is acceptable; it isn't. That applies even if you don't actually do much.
I always am compelled to bring this up when people start talking about an "acceptable" level of execution of innocent people.
Which is to say that if you are accepting of a certain level of innocents losing their life for crimes they did not commit, it follows without any possible argument that you are also accepting of people who commit these crimes getting away with murder.
You cannot support one, without full acceptance of the other.
Only if they don't tell Tesla. In fact until they tell Tesla and give them some time to get a fix, they probably shouldn't tell the general public.
Oh my fucking God!
Do you mean to tell me that someone might be able to gain control of a car now!
Those Fuckers at Tesla will cause the downfall of civilization!
We have had cars for well over a hundred years now, and it looks like Tesla is the only company that has cars that can be stolen!. Shit! First fires, now stolen vehicles.This electrical car thing isn't going to work at all.
Umm, Thanks, Obama!
It's not a computer, it's a "tablet". They are locked down in hardware to only run the OS they shipped it with.
Wrong.

I've already installed Linux Mint on my wife's W8 Touch screen laptop. She just stopped using it under W8.1 because the experience was so awful. Under Mint, she's happy. But I digress.
There's just a few things you have to change. If you want a dual boot, there is a little more to do, because when you enable the device to see another OS, it won't see W8. In my case, it didn't matter, because I had no intention of ever booting into W8 again. Overall, installing and using Linux is pretty easy.
Dammit Microsoft, you had something nearly perfect with the Surface Pro 2 and then wrecked it.

So little ones, you can come out of the basement. Come, take your friend's hand and walk up the stairs. One at a time, and breath deep and regular. The light - yes, it is scary - but it will not hurt you. And those people you see over there? They might be the mafia, just looking for someone to kill, or they might be enraged pot growers, having just heard that human blood makes for bigger buds, and you look like a fine source, or they might be some rogue cop on a rampage, or a kook looking to shoot up a McDonalds. Or they might be.......THUGS!
Then again, they almost certainly aren't - they are probably just normal people. So don't run back, please, come back to the outer world. It's really not so bad.
You assignment is to stop watching Law and Order shows for a month.
It gets better, really, it does, little ones.
In other words, sexual harassment policy at your company twenty-five years ago really sucked. Is there a conclusion you wish to draw from this?
Yes.
Don't get advice on how to treat women from women that hate men.
Old people drive far fewer miles then most. They are as dangerous as teenagers on a per mile driven basis.
And your evidence for that is what?
Old people smell funny?
