those are like adarq's old REA squats, just safer because you've got the machine instead of a BB.

My response is: Union Yes. You can guess the rest of what I feel about it. Instituting a living wage is humane and makes economic sense. The main (rational) argument against wage hikes is that they'll boost unemployment because business won't hire as many people if they have to pay them more.
This is thoroughly refuted by the majority (though not 100%, it's not like climate change where the consensus in the community that studies the issue really is near-total) of economic studies of the phenomenon, which show that there is little to no effect of wage hikes on employment rate. For a good, recent review of the evidence and an attempt to explain why wage hikes show no such effects in real life, check this out: http://cepr.net/documents/publications/min-wage-2013-02.pdf.
There are also irrational or evidence-free arguments against wage hikes, which amount to the equivalent of telling homeless people to get a job. Hard to know where to start with those.
The irrational argument in favor is that we are forcing people to live in poverty even though we have the means to do otherwise, and that is immoral.

« on: November 30, 2015, 01:52:36 pm »man i'm slow, that's less than a second (or just over a second if you take the high end and add the 0.3 for HT) off my FAT PR.
What was your fat pr? Your 60m was no greater than 8 when i trained w you, so im giessing no worse than 12.5 unless you had a bad race...
A second is a lot!
13.1 in first race, 13.0 in second race (i think).

lebron doesn't have "better" genetics than curry. that statement makes no sense; they do different things. it's like saying pedro martinez has better genetics than ichiro suzuki.

feel a little sick today and very sluggish. planned to wake up on the early side so i could go to the gym but decided to go back to sleep instead. gotta hang out with my brother this afternoon before he leaves town so no gym until tomorrow. this weekend turned out to be more of a break than i meant it to be.
