It's always been legal. It has simply changed its appearance like a chameleon.
Why can't she be praised for doing something positive without being told if she can or should be doing it? Proactive behaviour is something that should be praised and encouraged, and is the sign of good character.
I question whether anything she does will be good enough for you because you can't seem to give her an inch of credit on something as simple as paying people who work for you.
You should be indifferent to a few rapists, murderers, pedophiles, and other twisted fucks having to do a little bit of labor while they serve their life sentences. Why shouldn't they? My tax dollars are keeping them alive. You're just grasping at straws by replying with something very specific that is off topic and applies only to a VERY SMALL percentage of the general population. We can discuss prisons in another thread.
Non violent drug Offenders are the largest population in prison.
They serve time for crimes that didn’t involve violence and are treated as slaves by the private prison industry for profits.
dont mislead people with this garbage
Yes, because it's better to kill 10 innocent men than let 1 guilty man go free, am I right? I mean, they're all twisted, have no remorse, and are generally the worst and irredeemable scum who have ever graced the planet.
At least, until you or a loved one gets sent to prison due to circumstances out of your control. Then it's terrible, horrible, and monstrous right?
No, it is very much on topic. The assertion was that 'slavery doesn't exist'. It does. In part, these are all symptoms of the same problem: that we are 'fine' with people not being paid for their services because we feel 'they deserve to not be paid'. This is what leads to people questioning the 'necessity' of a living wage - ergo the topic and complaint.
I'm sure a lot of us will get sent to the gulag one of these days for making a politically incorrect joke.
Oh my god the screen won't stop shaking because of your link. How do I stop this?
Are you familiar with the concept of 'established pattern of behavior'?
Just to lay it out real quick, there's this thing in psychology where you can make what's called 'reasonable assumptions' based on a person's prior behavior
The basic concept of it is that our friend Tim goes into Coffee of Doom on Sunday after church. On the way there, he picks up a paper from a news stand. Once there, he orders a black coffee and a sesame seed bagel. He finishes the coffee there, he finishes the bagel on his way home
The following Sunday, Tim leaves the church, he picks up a paper from a news stand, he orders a black coffee and a sesame seed bagel. He finishes the coffee there, he finishes the bagel on the way home
The Sunday after that, Tim leaves the church, he picks up a paper from a news stand, he orders a black coffee and a sesame seed bagel. He finishes the coffee there, he finishes the bagel on the way home
And the Sunday after that, Tim leaves the church, he picks up a paper from a news stand, he orders a black coffee and a sesame seed bagel. He finishes the coffee there, he finishes the bagel on the way home
In following this consistent schedule, our friend Tim has established a pattern for his behavior. For someone like the staff of Coffee of Doom, they can use this established pattern of behavior to base reasonable assumptions on. It can be reasonably assumed by the staff of our hypothetical coffee shop that Tim will be arriving at Coffee of Doom sometime in the early hours of the day. Depending on how long the pattern has been followed, they could even go as far as to have his sesame seed bagel and black coffee waiting for him in advance, because he has established a pattern of behavior
Admittedly, I'm a little behind on the times with Ocasio-Cortez, but it is my understanding that paying her interns a living wage would fit very well within an established pattern of behavior. It is a reasonable assumption to make
Am I incorrect?
Could you point me towards anything that would cast doubt on her intention to follow through?
Where does your own skepticism stem from?
Do you have examples of the things Ocasio-Cortez has done that would lead you to this skepticism?
Over-qualification is a bullshit excuse used by sheisters who don't want to pay people what they're worth. If you "over-qualified", that means you're worth more, and they don't feel like paying that when they could just hire some schlub off the street and pay them a much lower rate to do the same job you would have done.
Also, in my great-aunt's day when she was getting into computers, that last part of your post was pretty much 100% accurate. People came in looking like lay-abouts, with scruffy beards and awful hair, casual clothes, etc., but they got the job, because if you went into an interview for systems specialist/administrator looking like that, then you must be really damn confident about your abilities. (that was her take on it anyway, I don't think it occurred to her that back then, computer nerds weren't in such abundance)
There are plenty of volunteer positions in poorer places, you short-sighted goon.
Our local zoo runs pretty much solely on volunteers because funding for public works/attractions is garbage here.
Did you have some kind of argument? We were talking about unpaid internship abuse not generic volunteer works such as community service.
Unpaid internships are horse-shit and you know it. That's the argument you've been trying to skirt around this whole time. My point is, there's money set aside, these politicians are hardly poor (namely the ones who've been in the game for quite possibly literally decades), they can afford to pay people who need somewhere to live that's close to work and, you know, food.
A lot of people think unpaid internships are dumb. It's something I've always avoided. If someone REALLY wants to do it why should we stop them? It's their choice. Instead of getting government involved I encourage that people make others aware of these types of abuse internships. Government generally makes things worse and there are a lot of ways to get around regulations.
These are literally government internships.
Holy fuck lmao
People who think capitalism could function without government of any kind are strange
To be completely honest, if anyone could work with your ass, it would be super charitable from them regardless.
WOW why doesn't she pay them HER FULL SALARY??????? Shes not even a real socialist smh what a fraud
So you do believe the words of proven liars at face value, you just can't admit it in simple language. Personally, I'm going to assume they're spewing outright horseshit until news breaks saying they actually did what they said they'd do for once in their miserable lives.
Also, I fail to see any logical reason why they'd wait that long to enact proper pay for their interns when a bored diesel mechanic sharted out a pay policy that'd make those interns quite happy indeed in under two minutes. They're waiting for guidelines because that's a convenient excuse for them to continue to demand their interns work for free. They will find another, and another, when excuses run out they will do the absolute bare minimum to satisfy the law while doing everything in their power to find loopholes. Maybe it's only minimum wage, scheduled for just 20hr/week, while demanding they take the other 30hrs worth home with them. Maybe its withholding benefits, or making them pay out-of-pocket for the supplies they use, they'll figure something out.Those slimy sacks of shit on Capitol Hill clearly care more about funneling money into their office' coffers than they do the welfare of their interns, because if they didn't they'd already have been paying said interns a fair livable wage.
What do you consider an insult? Because I believe these are the replies you are referencing.
One, arguably two of these posts could be construed as insulting. The rest are people literally just disagreeing with your perspective.
What even constitutes a "far left bubble" in this case? You want to know what I think? I think the response to this thread has been completely benign and baseline. You are bringing your far-right point of view because like a lot of people on the right you simply cannot pass up the opportunity to take a snipe at Ocasio-Cortez, regardless of how petty it is.
excuse me, can you point out where any of those posts explicitly stated they were insulting sgman? ??
can i get a link to this
it sounds fucking hilarious
it was literally years ago, but i'm pretty sure it was pre-legalization by the supreme court, and that it was in a thread about a classic wedding cake dilemma
calling someone a sad little man is pretty insulting
most of the rest of them are low iq snipes that have no substance
@Chubbs I found it!
First: Oregon bakers weren’t fined over cake — they were punished for s..
Second: Are there any secular arguments against gay marriage?

We were speaking in general genius. They can make laws such that unpaid internships are illegal for certain federal services for all I care. It's a bit different when you are involving private firms.
Fix your link because it vibrates the thread
i think you might be a dick.
You are spending way too much time on T_D if you think this forum is far-left.
You guys are forgetting the alt right chuds like seano and sgman don't see interns as human, since they're Democrats. It's the fake world they hide in. Stop debating alt right and start clubbing alt right before they start clubbing you.
aren't you supposed to be a christian or something
