Drop those statistics and you'll find our rate compares favorably with the rest of the world . We don't have a gun problem , we have a criminal problem . And it's aggravated by a revolving-door criminal justice system . FWIW my wife and I agree that non-violent offenders in many cases would be better off left in the community with close supervision - and a job , as contributing members of society rather than a drain . It'd also leave more room in prison for those who truly are a menace .

He even passed up so many easy questions that even I knew. It could be a gambling thing. Bookies will take bets on anything. Certainly to bet on James losing that night would have been super high stakes. Perhaps the "mob" bet heavily on that happening and threatened him and all his family (including the cute young daughter). Lose tonight or you all die. OR, as he is a professional gambler himself, maybe he's the cheat and got someone to bet a fortune of his own money and bet against himself. The returns would be huge. Isn't that a crime? If so, perhaps the FBI should find out who bet against him and won a fortune. He so obviously threw that game. The woman that beat him didn't even look very happy during last night's show. Had a "deer in the headlights" face. For whatever reason, James definitely took a dive Monday night. After 30 some days of winning large and easily, no sane gambler would have bet against him unless it was rigged and they knew it was coming. Note: Perhaps the old Ken Jennings win should be looked in to also. The woman that won and kicked him off, lost the very next show. |

Where I worked some years ago we had a union contract that spelled out the wage we had to pay and it was more than minimum. To get people to work for us, we had to pay higher than the place next door. That was even higher than the contract. Simple supply and demand at work. |

Minimum wage is pretty much a scam that doesn't mean much. You're right. It means that employers can't pay their employees $1 an hour or wherever the race to the bottom would end up. In practice, though, even McDonald's has to pay more than minimum wage, or people won't work there. That's why they're exploring all the automation they can. Cindy Hamilton |

That's why they're exploring > all the automation they can. Yup, here ya go (this is from November 2016): https://www.illinoispolicy.org/mcdonalds-counters-fight-for-15-with-automation/ "Calls for a minimum-wage hike nationwide and in Illinois are increasingly met with businesses' use of technology to cut costs. As the Fight for $15 campaign, led by the Service Employees International Union, or SEIU, protested for higher wages again Nov. 29, McDonald's continued to unveil self-service kiosks throughout the country to counteract costly wage mandates. McDonald's announced Nov. 17 it was expanding its digital self-serve ordering stations to all of its 14,000 restaurants nationwide. This new automation is something a McDonald's location in Chicago's Loop has been testing for months. Chicago was one of hundreds of cities worldwide where the Fight for $15 campaign held strikes and protests Nov. 29, as well as April 14. If protestors stopped by the McDonald's at Adams and Wells in Chicago, though, they would have met their replacement – an automated McCafé kiosk. That store, which is anticipating Chicago's minimum-wage increase to $13 an hour by 2019, has been testing out coffee kiosks in the restaurant instead of having employees serve it. The kiosk features a touch-pad for ordering and paying. The screen also prompts customers to answer questions about their kiosk experience, giving the impression this is something that could be adopted as an alternative to hiring – and something McDonald's is now taking seriously with the nationwide rollout of them. This kind of automation, which replaces a human employee with technology, is one of the unintended consequences of Chicago's minimum-wage increase – which the Cook County Board recently extended to suburban neighborhoods, too. It may not just be a coffee machine either. Cary, Ill. features the nation's first drive-thru-only Burger King, which saves on labor costs. Other McDonald's locations have used self-service kiosks with touch-screens for paying. And while self-serve kiosks don't seem too unusual, San Francisco-based Momentum Machines has created a robotic hamburger-making machine the company claims can produce 400 high-quality burgers in an hour with minimal human supervision. A robot making a hamburger sounds a bit absurd, but the desire to circumvent artificially set wages certainly isn't. California and New York are the next two states that could see a loss in low-wage jobs, with both states recently passing statewide minimum-wage laws. California's minimum wage will increase to $15 over the next six years, while New York's will increase to $15 by 2018. While this will mean that some workers will see an increase in their wages, many will lose their jobs altogether. California Gov. Jerry Brown, who signed his state's minimum-wage hike into law April 4, admitted, "Economically, minimum wages may not make sense." Yet Brown still caved to those pushing a policy that will cut young and inexperienced workers from his state's workforce. Illinois may face the same fate, after the Illinois General Assembly approved a minimum wage hike May 30. The legislation increases the minimum wage to $15 per hour over five years. Young, inexperienced workers who rely on finding minimum-wage jobs are already having a hard time. In Chicago, approximately 1 in 10 black teenagers ages 16 to 19 are employed, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, reported in new research from the University of Illinois at Chicago's Great Cities Institute. And the employment rate for Chicago Latinos ages 16 to 19 has plummeted by 42 percent since 2005 – with only 15 percent employed in 2014. The trend carries over nationwide. In 2015, 16.9 percent of those ages 16 to 19 nationally were unemployed, compared with just 5.3 percent of all ages. This particularly hurts minority communities, with 28.4 percent of blacks ages 16 to 19 unemployed, versus 9.6 percent of black workers overall. And those numbers would get worse with a national increase in the minimum wage. A 2014 report from the Congressional Budget Office estimated that, if implemented then, between 500,000 and 1,000,000 workers would lose their jobs by 2016 as a direct result of a federal minimum-wage increase to $10.10. Fast-food workers who have protested in Chicago and elsewhere for a higher wage might have justified frustrations about lackluster wage growth, but an increased state-mandated wage would only increase unemployment. It would also further harm low-income and minority communities that have already been disproportionately hurt by Chicago's and Illinois' decades of bad economic policies. A $15-per-hour wage won't seem like much if there aren't many jobs left – and technology is enabling more businesses to take that route..." |

My first pay job (other than paperboy for years), was when I was 15-16, around 1969. It was $1.60 per hour then and stayed that for a few years. Luckily, I lived at home so it was all spendable money for anything, not bills. It was never intended to provide a living for adults. It was intended for teens still at home wanting to make extra money for themselves. Now people expect it to cover all costs of living. Good one. Guess again people. |

Sour cream with horseradish is also good on roast beef. My husband idiosyncratically enjoys cocktail sauce on pot roast. Yesterday I had some leftover shrimp for lunch. I mixed mayo, lime juice, and powdered chipotle chiles and dipped them in. It was pretty good.
