1. thou shall be responsible for thine actions.

Playing devil's advocate, that can be interpreted both ways. A mother putting down an unwanted pregnancy could be regarded as the very act of taking responsibility for one's own actions, as opposed to loafing an unwanted child off on the rest of her family or on society more generally.

There is simply no good argument in favor of 3rd trimester abortion that wouldn't also apply to just killing infants.

Logically you could indeed apply the same arguments to recently born. Some societies have done so. Our own society decided to use birth as an arbitrary cut-off for issues such as citizenship and rights. Birth does possess the practical advantage of being an extremely obvious moment in time. Conception would be another very obvious point, albeit one that leaves no room for circumstance like medical necessity or moral reasons.

Hence why sarcasm is dangerous in court.

Everywhere I see Now Hiring signs.

How will the economy recover if a large portion of the work force is on unemployment?

Because soon inflation will be so high because of those high wages that people will have to go back to work.

perfect system joe is setting up here.

I deleted that post because people wanted to talk about abortion and I sort of shoe horned unemployment in there. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I was making that joke (sadly it's not a joke) to the wife a year ago or more: The government will get its $15/hr minimum wage, but by the time it does it'll be worth what $6/hour used to be worth. At this point that might be the better outcome. Their complete lack of even the semblance of financial discipline is a dangerous road that could easily lead to currency collapse.

I am told by the generation that payed 2-3 times their annual salary for a home that paying 10-40 times it is a sign of a strong economy, not one begging to collapse. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

What's really troubling is the White House will release a congratulatory statement for themselves like, "Joe Biden's American Family Plan lifted 5 million children out of poverty" and people will celebrate it, but are too dumb to realize printing money and handing out checks to those families is going to markedly increase inflation and those 5 million children are going to be even poorer next year... UNLESS you print even more money the next year to hand out to those families which will inevitably cause more inflation and those same people will be even poorer the following year... UNLESS you print even more money the following year and keep going until the general public realizes our government has gotten themselves into one hell of a Ponzi scheme.
