Those who enlist and aren't cut out for the military are released, no penalty. You either have no military experience or, you do, and are whitewashing the reality.

It could warn you when you are making bad driving decisions such as taking your eyes off the road, and driving with one hand. It could increase awareness of cars that are decelerating as well as let you know when you are tailgating, or speeding, and it can also alert you to disable vehicles which will allow you to move over a lane to give the stranded pedestrian room to work on their car or emergency vehicle to reach the car quickly.

You do know that you are never forced to join the union right, not in a legal sense at least. A company may hire anyone it wants, but as an employee you may be required to pay the union as you receive benefits directly derived from the unions existence.

The reason that SCOTUS struck down that portion of the law is because if it were to allow it to stand, that would be endorsement of the state's ability to codify the necessary documentation for non-citizens to carry with them which could lead to a patchwork of 50 separate laws which creates more problems for non-citizens.

Bullshit. Dropping the minimum wage would do nothing to spur employment. Why would employers higher more people that they don't need even if they could get them at a reduced price? And while there is a small uptick in unemployment associated with a higher minimum wage, it is typically statistically insignificant and creates a transfer of wealth from employers to employees thus driving demand. But don't let macroeconomics get in the way of your Randian world view.

Teenage unemployment is skyrocketing and yet we have some of the lowest minimum wages(adjusted for inflation) the country has seen in its modern history. It's almost like wages have nothing to do with teenage unemployment at this point.

No, cars weigh more today then in 1982 and we get better gas mileage then we did then too by about 3 MPG.

Yes, but having a living wage doesn't exacerbate significantly the problem for young black men, but it does solve many other problems. Australia has a $15+ min. wage, near zero governmental debt, and an economy that runs.

And there isn't a market in the world that is 'free'. At best we have a competitive monopolistic market. I swear, everyone took Intro to Micro and never paid attention to the entire section on why markets fail.

No, those wages are good, everyone else is just getting ripped off.

1200/month rent
300/month health insurance
200/month car insurance/renters/life insurance
200/month cell/cable/internet
100/month electricity

That is the basic break down of my budget. I have the cheapest insurance that I can get, the cheapest rent, the cheapest internet and cell service. The only thing we splurge on a little bit is the cable because I enjoy watching sports and the kids love the disney channels.

Total = 2000/month and we haven't even touched gas, food, car repair/maintenance. 11/hr * 40/hr/week * 4.3/weeks/month = $1862/month and that isn't even taking out taxes. Not everyone lives in bumfuck idaho, not everyone is single and at university. Some of us have families and can't just get up and move away when we feel like it.

You assume that the demand for labor is quite elastic, I would argue the opposite, that it is quite inelastic.

I love the "if someone cannot support themselves on $12/hr" bullshit. You know most people support more then just themselves, they have kids, spouses etc. My wife makes 13 and change an hour. Her "full time" job comes in at 35 hours a week, just enough for her to be considered full time. After taxes and health insurance she brings home 650 every other week. Rent alone is 1200 a month, cheapest in our area, throw in $90 for cell service, another $90 for cable and internet plus another 100 for electricity and we have no money at the end of the month and we have the cheapest health plan they offer and if me, her, or our kids ever got severely sick/injured we'd be screwed. She has an education, in fact graduated top of her class but graduated 2007 as a teacher, so you see where that is going. The idea that 10, 11, 12, 13, or even 14 or 15 dollars an hour is a living wage is a joke. If I didn't have the Post 9/11 GI Bill coming in on top of her wages we would be going into a massive amount of debt so that I can get my engineering degree.

It should have been good. It was made by Big Huge Games Studio which was bought by 38 and then rebranded as Kingdom. 38 has never created an original IP.
