Those comebacks to the minimum wage debate are great! And accurate.
Have to admit I'm finding the whole Royal
thing quite fascinating. Princess Di was
cool too, but there was no such thing as
social media back then. Really none of
our business to tell our cousins, with
their centuries of tradition, how to
conduct their royal affairs; but, here's
what I think it all boils down to:
Despite the number of feel good stories
and movies with happy endings, it's not
possible for a commoner to marry into a
royal family and live happily ever after.
I think you mean polygamal power.
What is polygamal power? I don't feel dumb because Google didn't know either.
Before reading about all this Oprah interview blow up I didn't know Meghan is black. That's indicative of the level I follow the society pages.
Polygamal being married to more than one person at a time. An argument in defence of polygamy: Ban the legal recognition of polygamal marriages and you’ll still have polygamal cohabitation.
I didn't know Piers Morgan and Meghan Markle were longtime online friends and they finally met for drinks and dinner in London, which is where she met Prince Harry and that he started writing bad things about her after she cut him off. That adds a whole different dimension to his attacks on her.
A minimum wage is not meant to be your wage for life it's a starter job if you do a half decent job and show up everyday you won't make minimum for long. Raises in minimum wage disincentivizes good work because the better workers end up without raises they have earned to subsidize the barely competent making more.
I don't know who decided what was "meant," but that's not the way our capitalist society works for many. It would be nice if you could explain this to corporations that have walked away from raises, pensions, training programs, and both pay as little as they can get by with and then lay people off if a mere whiff of lesser profits gets to them. Whether the minimum wage was "meant" by someone somewhere to be just for "starter jobs," it was always meant to be something you could live off without government support.
