How To Properly Scald A Chicken 

http://thedeliberateagrarian.blogspot.com/2009/02/how-to-properly-scald-chicken-my-never.html

Follow this simple never-fail technique and you will never under-scald a chicken and have a hassle getting the bird plucked,

Remember a video of Sarah Palin being interviewed at a turkey farm? In the background were some troughs, the purpose of which became evident when some gomer came into the frame with a beheaded turkey, dumping it into a trough to bleed out.

The news people obviously set that up but it was still funny.

The biggest obstacle for progressivism working properly is reality. If it wasn't for pesky things like math and the law of economics, progressive's ideas would succeed.

Progressives seem to be of the mindset that if they support something, the rest of society should be forced to accommodate their belief system. Their ideas are so great, they have to be mandated. So they become surprised when their ideas don't go as planned. They forget that other people seek their own economic interests. That's why they become somewhat tyrannical eventually.

Oh well.   No one wants those jobs anyway.   

So, robots will do the jobs Americans won't do?  (Who'd a-thunk it?)

If robots are doing them, Americans won't.

The politics of minimum wage have become irrepressible as labor unions, progressives and socialists are joined by high tech companies and other big businesses that have a vested interest in elevating the cost of American labor.  Meanwhile, our cities are full of unemployed black youth with little opportunity to release themselves from the cycle of poverty and despair.  It is an awful thing for any thoughtful person to behold.

And, its' not just black communities, but anglo & hispanic too.  We may be creating a large number of permanent underclass communities.

Yes.  But it isn't working because as it urns out not enough people who live on the socialist plantation turn out to vote, the ingrates.  The only way the other team can survive is to make more people dependent, which is why they always prefer "everyone equal but poor" to "some unequal but most way better off."

Well, whatdidya expect? They want legal pot, and they jumped the gun. Now their base just gets loaded and spaces out the voting thingy...

(But someone is getting filthy rich off the deal)

Bill Gates wants taxes on robots. San Fran Nan is, no doubt, working to allow them to vote.

And a bonus, they don't need 24/7 advertisements, to induce them to consume. (maybe a small app, here and there)

All in all, yet another new paradigm to consider, and exploit.

There is ALWAYS someone else to blame. I got the software designer and the owner of the store just off the top of my head. If that fails I still have the power company up my sleeve.
