Jeb! obviously meant labor force participation and full time over part time (ties in nicely with anti Obama derp). Still, dude needs to be super careful and understand that he gets nothing from anything involving "work harder." Stick to the script, jobs wages and ponies for olds.

I'd go $50 on the Donald at 20-1 if you're interested. I don't expect to win but I'll spin the wheel on the stupidity of the typical GOP primary voter just for fun.

Have staked several people for live tournies on 2+2 and have always paid promptly. I use Chase QuickPay.

They can, but not at one employer.

I'm sure you can see why that would be inconvenient for all involved.

We recently hired a carpenter to work four 10s for us M-Th, but he has another full time cabinet-making job that he works in three 12-hour shifts on F-Su. There are people who want to work 7 days a week.

It is quite a pain for businesses to have to offer their employees rest from work. I feel for the job creators.

No. You are wrong. In a few ways.

I'm not too worried about Wisconsin removing the 1-day off law. If Wisconsin somehow brings back sweatshops or hellish factory conditions, people will just vote back in labor protection laws like they did in the first place. And then dorm-room libertarians will understand why we even have those things. Circle of life, etc.

Well, the intent here seems to be to give employers a list of employees who have stated in writing that they're willing to be on call 7 days a week.

So with regard to choice and force, I think it's a little bit of column A, and a little of column B.

Currently, employers who want to force their employees to work 7 days a week can't. Now, they'll be able to force employees who have waived their "right" to a day off to come in, even if they didn't want to on that particular day.

That's my worst-case-scenario reading of the actual text.

Like suzzer says, I doubt this leads to sweatshops.

Well at least we've agreed that it's about employers being able to force people to work the 7th day and not blah blah blah employees can't choose FREEDOM!

Exactly. "I'm not in favor of increasing the tax burden on a middle class that has seen no wage growth under the Obummer economy." I look forward to working with congress on a comprehensive plan to strengthen our infrastructure for generations to come."

**** isn't hard

Trump finishing third is the more interesting bet.

More like a bizarro world Nader (massive ego, terrible hair, never held office, convinced he can accomplish things that others can't because of WIM).

Dean was a respected governor who just got out in front of the anti war movement.

Dean has some similarities in that he was not disciplined, but that's a horribly unfair comparison to trump.

Will Trump have a similar initial excitement, but ultimately go as far as Dean did?

Still waiting for Ikes to confirm our wager lol. Maybe these polls are getting him nervous about risking 1 grand on the highly rational/intelligent GOP primary voters?
