Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
Minimum Wage Vision
Walter Williams makes some good points, which should be obvious to everyone, about how the minimum wage actually works. In doing so, he adheres closely to my own perception of what such a law can do and what it can’t. This just proves what an intelligent guy Professor Williams is; he agrees with me.
Minimum wage laws do not raise wages. In order to do that, it would have to be within the authority of Congress, and the state legislatures, to find extra money. Such laws don’t even pretend to do that. What they do, is outlaw jobs. That’s it. Just those two words. Outlaw…jobs. You have a job, and the job doesn’t fall within the stipulated parameters, your employer is breaking the law until he comes into compliance by changing the attributes of the job, or getting rid of it.
Either one of those solutions will fulfill the requirements of the law. One costs money, the other doesn’t. But my point is, the law does what the lawmaking body has the authority to do. Making your job illegal, falls within that…getting you some extra money, does not.
