  • I think the problem is inflation and stagnant wages. When you get paid a living wage, but a teacher is making peanuts, it feels wrong.

    It's not that you are getting paid too much. It's that most people are being paid too little.

  • Exactly.

    This whole discussion feels like nobody watched ENT.

    The Federation exists because Archer was such a fantastic mediator. Add in his rapport with T'Pol and Shran, and his willingness to die in the place of a Tellarite ambassador, and it's little wonder he was able to knit the beginnings of this alliance together.

    I really got an Archer vibe from Pike in "Spock Amok" (SNW S01E05), when he dealt with the R'ongovians.

  • I can see the argument from a certain perspective of the language, outside of context.

    But remember when this amendment was passed. Right after the Civil War.

    So, they wanted an amendment to bar traitors from federal office. Then they put in a section saying Congress has to actually make laws enforcing that rule, or it does nothing. And then, they didn't make any such laws?!

    So, what, they went through all the work to make a constitutional amendment, and then it does nothing?

    No, they clearly felt that the rule was clear enough as it was, and section 5 is there to allow Congress to make supporting laws built upon that to help enforce that rule. But that rule should have teeth on its own.

  • I've heard good things. I might need to give it another shot. I was unaware Cordero was in it.

    I bounced off it after an episode or two. I struggle with that sort of awkward humor, where someone hiding the truth makes things worse (which is the vibe I got from the bit I did watch, but it's been a while).

    That said, I've seen a lot of clips of later episodes, and the show is definitely funny. (The Time Knife and Jeremy Bearimy are hilarious.)

  • I used the lottery for the same reason for a long time. Then they raised the price and lowered your chances to win even further.

    Also, seeing people win a "$1Billion jackpot" and take home less than $400M after taxes, meanwhile multiple billionaires can be shown to pay $0 on taxes... It's pretty disillusioning.
