I have had multiple people claim this at me this over the last few days and when challenged thus far nobody has actually be able to articulate how he or for that matter anyone else in his entourage plans to do this, especially in light of Republicans consistently and steadfastly working against any and all minimum wage increases at least since Nixon.

So, the ball’s in your court.

“Trump will raise wages.”

Okay, smart guy, how?

I would have left a thumbtack on every chair, and a bucket of whitewash balanced over every door.

Smooth brain. No ridges or lumps, nor valleys or bumps; all facts and just logic slide right off.

You broke it, you bought it.

Ah, the Vetinari principle. One man, one vote.

Vetinari is that man, and he has that vote.

It’s satire, but it’s also very, very realistic.

Some people are apparently incapable of learning anything except by rote. To them, every problem or situation has one solution, and they have no answer for any situation that has not previously been explicitly spelled out to them and the solution memorized, and failing that they not only won’t know what to do but they flat out won’t even try. There is no such thing as figuring out a new solution to anything based on logic or deduction. In any process, they will refuse to understand how the result is actually derived from the actions taken, nor what each step does or why it is done.

I’ve had to work with several people like this over the years and it’s both exhausting and infuriating.

In my line of work I have also been forced to interact with people, mostly clients, who cannot understand hypotheticals. Any abstract or non-concrete concept is completely lost on them and worse, usually exposing them to one will make them irrationally angry in response – which they will immediately direct at you, you nerd.

These people are not only allowed to vote, but also drive cars, own firearms, and have children. It’s shocking.

Seems like someone spent a little too much time studying the blade.

Those watches, if any of them even actually ship, are guaranteed to be straight from Aliexpress.

Edit: Wait, wait, wait. I thought of a better one. https://youtu.be/nQy-eJALZI0?t=143

Oh, for sure the prices will remain inflated forever. I was just gauging the longevity of trying to use this as the stated excuse.

One wonders how long greedy corporations will continue to use “the dockworker’s strike, don’t you know” as a lame excuse to jack up retail prices now. Four months? Six?

I’ve got my tricorne hat on and everything.

Right under the Tree Of Liberty.

Ah. Another sterling strategy from Donald “Neville” Trump.

I can only conjecture it must have cost a mint.

Crikey. I have to wonder what that ~2TB unit must have cost in 2016.

Interesting that the one has such large capacitors in it. I imagine that is as last-ditch effort to keep the board powered long enough to finish flushing all of its caches in the event of a power failure.

I mean, from a legal standpoint, sure.

But realistically, given that she’s currently the sitting vice president, the odds of her actually being in the campaign office versus being in the White House or at a meeting somewhere on on a jet or giving a speech or elsewhere on the campaign trail are, including many decimal places, zero.

I also don’t expect anyone dumb enough to actually try shooting at the campaign office to know that, though.

That also doesn’t preclude anyone else from being in the office.

Functionally, there really isn’t. The only reason it still exists at all is because “tradition.”

What hydrogen cars?

The sum total of Toyota and whoever else’s efforts still amount to an inconsequential fraction of the vehicles currently in operation, probably not even a notable portion of a percentage point.
