The minimum wage was tied to inflation effectively in Venezuela, where it caused a runway snowball of inflation that crashed the economy. The minimum wage law was raised almost 100 times since Chavez took power.

If you're a programmer, then you can recognize a functioning system. A functioning system of trade means that people with X level of wealth can work, get some money, and then turn around and buy goods from other people providing goods and services for that person of wealth X. When you raise the minimum wage, by definition, you destroy that free and legal system of trade for people starting at the lowest wealth levels. Here are the ramifications then of raising the minimum wage:

1) Small businesses in the poorest communities no longer make profit. They must shut down and move to wealthier communities
2) People who worked for those legal businesses once employing people in those poor communities now must commute to wealthier communities, or shift to working in illegal markets

Result:
increased crime, decreased education levels, increased misery. This is a delayed effect resulting from minimum wage increases and has been documented in the Economic literature.

Simply measuring jobs as a statistic, when Z factors can throw off its measurement ignores the simple reality that minimum wage laws in fact increase misery in poor communities due to the destruction of their free and legal systems of trade that wealthier people enjoy and take for granted.

There was no 'lead tainted water'. There was a switch to a water supply that the people who did the switch failed to handle properly, with the resulting switch in acidity without a protective chemical additive caused lead to leak from the old pipes. A combination of the people who technically should know better dropping the ball and local mis-governance led to the Flint lead problem.

That's odd, because the Internet wayback machine shows that the 'Editorial Board' line was added years after the site was published; the only attribution when it was first published was 'Valley News', and when you visit the actual Valley News, you see that opinions and editorials are all attributed to the actual writers of the opinions, not some hidden 'editorial board':

August 5, 2011: Democratic US Senator Bernie Sanders: "These days, the American dream is more apt to be realized in South America, in places such as Ecuador, Venezuela and Argentina, where incomes are actually more equal today than they are in the land of Horatio Alger. Who's the banana republic now?"

Exceeds $1.27 trillion.

127 million homes * $20,000 roof replacement cost / 20 years per roof * 1 decade (10 years).

Fear mongering is the order of the day.

They forgot to convert from meters to feet

It tastes like chicken

What about the thousands of Doctors who ignored their Hippocratic oath and accepted the bribes? Any mention of them, or are they irrelevant in the larger 'big company bad' political movement? Is their crime so politically useless as a message to not warrant mention or punishment?

If a person throws a rock at another person and injures them, the rock is not sued, the person who throws the rock is sued. If a third person had fabricated the rock, let's say out of concrete, then that third person is not liable, because, for one thing, they have no reasonable way to prevent the main offending party from throwing the rock.

For example, suppose a person were walking up some steps and slipped and injured themselves. It turns out, it was icey, and the person who owns the steps did not put salt on them (a reasonable precaution), in which case the owners of the steps would be responsible, as they have the reasonable ability to prevent an injury, which it is reasonable to expect might happen in icey conditions, and did not do so.

Let us extend that to the internet web site. How can a dating site reasonably protect people from misuse? If there were a reasonable standard to guarantee people's identity through the website then the website could be considered negligent if they did not implement that reasonable and common standard. There currently exists no such reasonable and common was to guarantee a person's identity online, and so the website has no obligation to protect from fraudulent use.

Was the energy transmitted in digital packets near the rats or were the cellphone radiation sources analog broadcast sources?

  If digital, what was the nature of the digital packet?

  It is conceivable that a digital non-stochastic regular pulse could cause more damage to organic systems which are used to bathing in stochastic (random) levels of radiation.

This is a 21st century pet rock. Something that doesn't make -anyone- better off, but is a drain on resources...

Since the Chargees to the Charges are in Russian, and are unlikely to appear in court, then it is similarly unlikely that they will defend themselves against the charges. Which means that whatever Rosenstain stuck out there is just a floater for public news and comment. He could claim space aliens hacked the DNC server with the Russians and there is no one to argue otherwise. Hence, it is a farce.

And what do you suppose the training rules were that Youtube used to train its AI 'reviewers' with? I am going to bet there was more than a little politics in the mix
