@CuatroJoe @LibertyCappy Yeah, correct it's supply and demand for labour! Band immigration and birth rate alone pumps up the wages without a need for a minimum wage.

@LibertyCappy Yep. Higher minimum wage = higher unemployment. It’s basic economics. Supply and demand for labor. Labor costs more = employers demand less labor.
English
Cool, I would agree, if not less. I mean, my company employes maybe 16k people 90% are hourly paid not great jobs, there is a c suit with 5 people and another maybe 5 good head of positions. That's like 0.06%.
For the vast majority of people, your never getting there and throwing away your life trying doesn't benefit you.
I prefer to consider myself a permanent contractor, you have a job, I quoted what it would cost a year to do it. I'm not doubling my brief for the same quote in the hopes that I would get a reward that's not coming.

@NoTanksSoo @DeanLamarr60244 1% of workers is what I would consider hyper successful

Talent without character is a liability that has not cost you yet.
English
@SalesClips @DeanLamarr60244 What percentage of workers would you consider "hyper successful"? 10%? 5%?...1%?
Most of this is just trying to sell mid and low level employees on a dream so you can pay them in one day promises and not cash.
English
@DeanLamarr60244 Depends what you want out of work. Safe and happy or hyper successful. Can’t have both

@WeegieBored1 Look it's obvious, they just hate the working class.

@DamianLow3 Look I don't trust any numbers anymore, it's all twist. It will be something like we have been charging more people with manslaughter so they appear in a different row or it's done by poling 1000 people in the Cotswolds or something.

That will be a blow to Elon Musk’s civil war

@patchyhistory @donnyfaison Ok enlighten me, what is the direct cost of vaping (not tobacco) to the public? Find me a number.
English
@NoTanksSoo @donnyfaison This is about vapes, and also this doesn’t include the time and staff wasted on people who completely preventably destroyed their lungs
English
They should only make vape flavors for the people who vapes are for, old boys trying to quit. The only vape flavors should be:
- uncut tobacco
- cut tobacco
- bovril
- liver and onions
- warm ale
- mashed potato
- dry roast peanuts
- pork scratchings
- the smell of the barbers
Interesting AF@interesting_aIl
The UK government has launched a program to make vaping less appealing > Simple flavor descriptions, for example: “Apple,” or “Cola” > Make vapes less visible in stores > Plain packaging for tabaco products
English
@patchyhistory @donnyfaison "UK tobacco tax revenue is roughly £10 billion to £11 billion per year, which significantly exceeds direct annual NHS treatment costs for smoking-related illnesses"
They pay it themselves and give you 8bn a year for the privilege.

@NoTanksSoo @donnyfaison Taxes are will pay for your healthcare when you fuck up your lungs

@thewayeyesee @NoTanksSoo @Lairdysnr Okay, let's do it this way: Does your current leadership share ANY of the blame for the way your country is currently doing?
English
Yup.
Fuck Thatcher.

I don't mean to be disparaging, but, it's complicated. I wouldn't really expect an American to know the ins and outs.
Blair set up a whole load of changes that changed the way the country ran. He was also quite popular before we knew how It was all going to turn out so politics has been emulating him basically since.
English
@NoTanksSoo @Lairdysnr Whatever it was, it's certainly not the people in charge now, is it? Nor the last decade or two.
Good grief.

Weed is associated with schizophrenia, isn't it? Which has lead to quite a few murders.
And by material costs I'm assuming you mean the health care burden so I shall post my same response as I did to the last guy
Average UK life expectancy of a smoker is 10 years less.
Average NHS cost of a patient is £3600, average additional cost of smokers is plus 40% (£1440) multiplying by let's say 40 years = £57'000
Cost of a OAP over ten year additional life = £190'000 - £230'000
The smokers are cheaper.
English
@clarkyboi97 @NoTanksSoo @donnyfaison because weed isn’t linked to addiction and cancer in the same way that nicotine is. The social ill of smoking comes from the material cost imposed on others by smoking. you can handle a fart on an aeroplane you can handle the smell of weed.
English
@Lairdysnr Thatcherism turned your country from a proud nation that handed Argentina its ass into a welfare caliphate poorer than the poorest US state?
Even rage bait has to have some element of truth.

@jkrtr0_0 @NoTanksSoo @donnyfaison I’ve had neighbours who smoke weed and the smell travels several gardens up the street. What happens to the ‘your actions impact other people’ argument here? In genuinely curious.
English
@donnyfaison @_jkpnro Well some of it is and some of it isn't. If I said you should have to show how many baby mamas you have and what your EBT card gets each month before you can stream rap music.
Yeah there is a joke in there but also an implication that is the basis.
English
@NoTanksSoo @_jkpnro It's not a joke I should be able to control what vape flavors you are allowed to buy and limit them based on my own personal preference, which is old man tastes and smells. Mwahahahahahaha
English
@jkrtr0_0 @donnyfaison What's your stance on legalization of weed?
English
@NoTanksSoo @donnyfaison because your choices impact other people you fucking nimrod.

This has to be one of the most ridiculous posts we’ve ever seen on this app, and that’s saying something.
Rupert Lowe MP@RupertLowe10
A Restore Britain Government will allow pub landlords and other venue owners to install a smoking room. If adults want to smoke inside a contained room, and the landlord is happy to provide that, then it's none of our business. Crack on.
