Quote:Originally posted by AURaptor: Quote:Originally posted by JEWELSTAITEFAN: is Shoe her full name? Yeah, her twitter handle is often 'June', but that can change almost on a daily basis. YouTube her @ Shoeonhead. Kinda an odd name, and I can't recall if I heard her explain where it came from or not, but either way, she's certainly unique. Her RL b/f ( I think they're engaged ? ) is Armored Skeptic, also on YouTube. He's got some really cool vids, but they don't come out all that often. 'Shoe' sorta reminds me of a young Sarah Silverman, before she stopped being funny. Not that Shoe is an actual comedian, but she's got real personality. And a sense of humor, which apparently Sarah no longer possesses.

Now that i think about it, it follows a pattern I've seen for 20 years or more. Young, scrappy and talented comedians , all edgy and full of independent thought and free thinking, get success, then conform to hard core Leftist ( join us or you're a Nazi ) mindset. Kinda depressing, to be honest.

There is almost zero diversity of thought on college campuses today and I think it would be a shame if she ended up just another talking head somewhere instead of teaching after all this settles.
Quote:In our working paper, we take a first cut at estimating the effects of monopsony on both employment rates and wages. Employment, we calculate, is 5 percent to 18 percent less than it would be in a competitive market. (Here is Marx’s reserve army of the unemployed.) This effect can explain all of the decline in employment rates among prime-aged men observed by labor economists. The results for wage rates are even more disturbing. Given the way our economy works historically, labor’s share of economic output should be about 74 percent if labor markets were perfectly competitive. Because of employers’ power to drive down wages, labor’s share of economic output falls to somewhere between 51 percent and 64 percent. This transfer significantly increases income inequality.

Or has it wandered off into bashing professors and Democrats? Getting back to wages, there is an article written by real professors of economics: More and more companies have monopoly power over workers’ wages. That’s killing the economy. www.vox.com/the-big-idea/2018/4/6/17204808/wages-employers-workers-monopsony-growth-stagnation-inequality The trend can explain slow growth, “missing” workers, and stagnant salaries.

The disciplinary actions taken against Lindsay Shepherd that she had recorded the meeting was excellent evidence of what is going on. It's even worse in Canada where there is no right to the Freedom of Speech and what is being done to Jordan Peterson. They're churning out millions of little Communist SJW douchetards like you, and it needs to stop.

The median wage for a nurse is about $68,000. Given what we know about the labor market power of medical institutions, the true competitive wage for a nurse would be at least $90,000. However, because most areas have few hospitals, they can suppress nurses’ wages without worrying that nurses will move to a rival hospital. Some nurses will drop out of the labor market entirely, but the hospital still earns a greater profit by shrinking its operation and cutting wages dramatically. For the labor market as a whole, the median annual compensation is $30,500. If markets were competitive, we estimate that this amount could rise to $41,000. www.vox.com/the-big-idea/2018/4/6/17204808/wages-employers-workers-monopsony-growth-stagnation-inequality The Joss Whedon script for Serenity, where Wash lives, is Serenity-190pages.pdf at www.mediafire.com/folder/1uwh75oa407q8/Firefly

You have 2 brothers that went to college (you say) and because of that you know colleges are turning out millions of communists? You have a brain the size of a chick pea.

Quote:As a result, it is not possible now, and doubtless will never be possible, to determine reliably whether any portion of the observed gender wage gap is not attributable to factors that compensate women and men differently on socially acceptable bases, and hence can confidently be attributed to overt discrimination against women. In addition, at a practical level, the complex combination of factors that collectively determine the wages paid to different individuals makes the formulation of policy that will reliably redress any overt discrimination that does exist a task that is, at least, daunting and, more likely, unachievable.

It's obvious you are just really really jealous that some women are what you see as "taken care of". Why don't you go find a nice rich psycho and offer to be a househusband rather than sit around and debate something you are too stupid to understand the basics of?? You can clean a house and make all the meals and take care of the lawn and the bills and the hundred other things for the rest of your life in exchange for "room and board" right?? If it sounds so great, you really ought to give it a try...

Do Right, Be Right. :)The youtube video has references. I’ll check the first one: www.consad.com/content/reports/Gender%20Wage%20Gap%20Final%20Report.pdf “The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.” So Little Miss “but, muh wage gap-" didn't actually read the reference because it is not there, but I know how to find it from the title. And it does NOT say what she says it says. It is at https://goo.gl/2ZuKpH Click the link, go to Summary and Conclusions, the last paragraph, which is on page 36: Quote:As a result, it is not possible now, and doubtless will never be possible, to determine reliably whether any portion of the observed gender wage gap is not attributable to factors that compensate women and men differently on socially acceptable bases, and hence can confidently be attributed to overt discrimination against women. In addition, at a practical level, the complex combination of factors that collectively determine the wages paid to different individuals makes the formulation of policy that will reliably redress any overt discrimination that does exist a task that is, at least, daunting and, more likely, unachievable.Translated that from weaselly words to English: There is a wage gap but we are claiming it is impossible to prove it is overt discrimination. Even if you could prove overt discrimination, and we still claim it can't be done, formulation of policy is impossible. In other words, this fucking worthless 2009 report does not say what Little Miss “but, muh wage gap-" claims it says. Sadly, George Bush’s Dept. of Labor paid for this damn thing. They got what they wanted: “It is impossible to prove overt discrimination and impossible to do anything about it even if you could prove it. In Our Humble Opinion.” If you want to ask about Denmark in 2018, the answer is there is almost no wage/gender gap. How about the USA in 2018? The records aren’t good enough to say anything worth saying about the cause of the gap, much like in 2009. More research is necessary. www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2018/02/why-do-women-earn-less-than-men/
