Pro Stock Racing - Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!Written by on April 18, 2012 Looking back to when Pro Stock Racing was more than just a sport
When looking back at photos from the good old days, most magazines have a select group of photographers that they choose from. That's fine until the group runs out of new images. When that happens, how do you get to take a look back at the history of racing without repeating yourself? One way is to find people who attended racing events back then. But how many people were actually taking pictures instead of watching the races? And if they were taking pictures, how many kept them after all these years? With the advent of social media, finding never-before-seen images is just a couple of typed words away. Take, for instance, this gathering of fine snapshots that we're certain have never been printed before. How can we be so sure? Because the photographer is not what many would consider a famous photographer. At the time, he was just a guy who went to the track and enjoyed the races. Lucky for us, he took pictures. Even luckier is the fact that he kept them after all these years.
But finding images like this isn't accomplished by making phone calls to people that might have been there. Were it not for the advent of social media, we would have likely never found out about the ones we have here. Again, luck was in our favor, and we stumbled across a Nostalgia Pro Stock Facebook page that gathers everyone with any interest in vintage Pro Stock racing. Now, this page is not limited to just the Mopar contingent; anything related to early Pro Stock racing can be found there, and all it took was for us to ask the guys and gals if they had any images they would like to share. Within minutes, we started getting images that we felt were cool, historically significant, and to top it all off, never before printed.
While racing in the Pro Stock ranks in today's world takes more money than is required to purchase a small village, the guys like Don Carlton, Roy Hill, and the team of Sox & Martin did it during a time when the money was good (if you won), and it was considered simply a way to earn a living.

Memorial Day 2010
Three black granite tablets honor those who've sacrified to serve their country in Oyens.
The listing of Oyens area veterans is an addition to the Oyens Veterans Memorial completed a year ago. Bob Gengler and a committee worked to complete the addition of two stones to be dedicated this Memorial Day at 11 a-m in the southeast corner of St. Catherine's Cemetery.
Gengler explains the importance of the memorial.
In addition to Gengler, the project was a volunteer effort by Jerry Rand, Bill Evans, Dan Pick, Randy Kellen, Steve Swalve, Marcel Konz, Mike Delperdang and Steve Smith. Gengler says the committee is proud of the memorial and hopes everyone else is just as proud of the honor for veterans.

JACKSONVILLE, NC - A man wanted for murder in the Atlanta area was found with a gun in his jail cell, and lawmen believe he had that weapon hidden in his rectum when he was booked into jail.
Michael Ward remains in the Onslow County jail after his arrest Monday morning.
Deputies say the gun measures 10 inches, including a 4-1/2 inch barrel.
Deputies tell WITN News that Ward was searched and strip searched before he was placed into a holding cell. Jailers also made Ward perform what they call a "squat and cough" procedure.
Ward will undergo a search again today, as well as a medical evaluation at Onslow Memorial Hospital to make sure that no injury occurred.
Deputies say the gun was not loaded, but later test fired and it was found to be fully operational.
State Trooper Scott Merritt says at 9:30 a.m. Monday morning a car driven by Ward passed him on Highway 17 going more than 90 miles per hour. Merritt teamed up with a Duplin County trooper down the road, and pulled the car over north of Dixon.
The Highway Patrol says Ward rolled up his window and locked the doors when troopers approached the car. They say Ward was in the car with a woman claiming to be his wife, the two both refused to roll down the windows.
After some coercion, the troopers were able to get the door open and had to taze the driver to get him to comply. Ward was then taken to the hospital because he was complaining of heart problems and claimed he was unable to get out of the car because he was disabled, and could not walk. Troopers searched the man at the hospital.
Ward, who gave several false names, was then taken to the Onslow County jail. At this point lawmen say he was thoroughly searched again and put in a cell.
Eventually, jailers discovered the .38 caliber handgun in his cell.
Upon further investigation, investigators found he is wanted for first degree murder and armed robbery in Canton, Georgia. Ward was being held in Onslow County awaiting extradition back to Georgia.
His "wife" also gave a false name.

Mexico's arrested union leader started humble
MEXICO CITY Elba Esther Gordillo started out as a school teacher, then rose to become one of Mexico's most flamboyant and powerful political operators, displaying her opulence openly with designer clothes and bags.
For years, the 68-year-old union leader beat back attacks from dissidents, political foes and journalists who have seen her as a symbol of Mexico's corrupt, old-style politics. Rivals long accused her of corruption, misuse of union funds and even a murder.
But prosecutors had never brought a charge against her until Tuesday, when she was arrested and accused of embezzling $160 million in union funds to pay for everything from a house in San Diego, California, and plastic surgery procedures to her Neiman Marcus bill.
Gordillo was detained as she landed at the Toluca airport near Mexico City on a private plane from San Diego and whisked away by authorities.
Born in the impoverished southern state of Chiapas, Gordillo was just 15 years old when she joined the National Education Workers Union, then considered a sort of electoral army for the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, which governed Mexico for 71 years. She followed the path of most Mexican politicians, rising through a series of union, party and government posts. She was a senator for the PRI and also served in Mexico's lower house.
When a strike by dissident teachers led President Carlos Salinas to oust the old boss of the teacher's union in 1989, the job fell to Gordillo, who was widely seen as a reformer.
The union post made her one of the most powerful figures in the PRI at a moment when democratic reforms were starting to erode the party's hold on power, as well as its unquestioning subservience to Mexico's president.
Even before the PRI lost the 2000 election to the National Action Party's Vicente Fox, Gordillo began hedging her bets. She was the guiding force behind the creation of the New Alliance Party, which was based on members of the teacher's union and was once headed by one of her daughters.
She participated in a high-profile discussion group that included prominent social activists and opponents of the government, including Fox, and her friendship with him infuriated some PRI officials, who managed to prevent her from becoming leader of the party in 2005. She was expelled from the party a year later for supporting other parties' candidates and for founding the New Alliance.
The new party, along with the vast spread of the teacher's union itself, has given Gordillo special leverage. Because it is large enough to swing votes from one large party to another, rivals have negotiated for its backing. Her support was considered key in giving both Fox and Felipe Calderon the presidency, as well as blocking her rival, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, from reaching Mexico's highest office.
She maintained close ties to Calderon and was seen as the force behind the humiliating firing of Education Secretary Josefina Vazquez Mota in 2009. Officials said the firing was revenge for Vazquez Mota mocking Gordillo after it was widely reported that the union leader was going to offer Hummers to subordinates. In the middle of the Hummer controversy, Vazquez Mota jokingly offered a toy Hummer to one of her advisers at a private dinner and Gordillo heard of the incident and became enraged.
Witnesses recall seeing Vazquez Mota's legs trembling so much she had to sit down as Calderon announced her resignation.
Critics accused Gordillo of amassing more than a dozen properties worth millions of dollars. The newspaper Reforma once published a story analyzing one of her outfits and reported she was carrying a $5,500 purse and wearing $1,200 shoes.

Video: Key Groups Could Make The Difference In Virginia
HENRICO COUNTY, Va. (WUSA) - Andrea McCarren and Greg Guise have been criss-crossing the state of Virginia, and after hundreds of miles on the road, were in the Central part of the state Tuesday night.
Bruce Springsteen brought his music, a message to support Obama, and a fervent call to action.
The message was not just for the masses, but a target audience:students, in target-rich Charlottesville.
"It's been great. It's actually started a lot of great political discussions, a lot of people watching the debates, just with how close it is. I think if it wasn't this close, that there wouldn't be as much of an active political discussion about it, " said Marley Hall, a University of Virginia student.
And 65 miles south, in Lynchburg, is Liberty University, the largest Christian university in the world, and the largest private school in the Commonwealth.
"One of the things that is so exciting for myself as a young person is to see that my vote actually counts. So many times in life, we think maybe, maybe not. But this election, we know that our vote counts," said Susan Alkire, a third year law student at Liberty.
Liberty launched a massive voter registration drive, urging its students to vote in this presidential election. That's nearly 13,000 residential students and 84,000 online.
"I believe that Liberty University's community of registered voters, voting for Biblical values, may well make the difference in which direction Virginia goes and where Virginia goes, may well be the next President of the United States," said Mat Staver, dean of Liberty Law School.
School administrators say Liberty doesn't tell its students which candidate to support. Still, Mitt Romney was Liberty's commencement speaker last spring.
Back here in Henrico County, there's a demographic split: this western part of the county is predominantly affluent, white and conservative. The eastern end is more diverse, with a growing black population that is largely Democratic.
In two weeks, we'll know whether high voter turnout in either side of the county made a difference in who is elected president.

Sound confusing but when you click on address book the screen is blank as if you have no contacts ... what folder is it displaying something hidden?
The search bar displays in:"contacts"
You have to click on the contacts folder to get it to display the contacts, why doesn't it go directly to the contacts folder?
Now if I double click on an email address in an email it opens a new contact, when you save the contact, it is saved somewhere other than the contact folder.
Where are these addresses getting saved and how do you save them in the contacts folder?

After her widely reported possible nipple slip at the Oscars, Jennifer Lopez is making headlines again for a gender-bending photo shoot in the March issue of V Magazine. In the boxing-inspired spread shot by Mario Testino, Lopez can be seen with her hair swept back in what looks like some sort of baby pompadour wearing a masculine-looking groin protector, and grabbing said groin protector provocatively.
In short, it's all very hot.

Caring for your skin is not a one-step process. Many steps come together to give you beautiful skin that looks and feels great.

Enjoy your daily cleansing and moisturizing routine knowing that you are effectively restoring and conditioning your skin for a lifetime of great looks.

Where the first doses will be shipped will be based on the requests they receive this week.
The second shipment will include 31,000 doses of the injectable vaccine and another 23,000 of the nasal mist.

"Game of Thrones" star Hafthor Bjornsson has been crowned Europe's Strongest Man after winning the annual contest in England last week.
The strongman-turned-actor, who plays Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane in the hit fantasy series, iced out the competition in Leeds after performing a series of strength-testing challenges.
The 400-pound Iceland native was the only participant to complete the atlas stone challenge, in which one must lift a heavy concrete sphere onto a large barrel.
After he completed the task, Bjornsson ripped off his shirt and exclaimed, "I am the future of strength. I am the King of the Stones!"

UPDATE: The Rockford Police Union plans to push forward with commercials running that criticize Mayor Larry Morrissey and his administration.
The State Board of Elections says this ad violates election law because it's intent was to influence voters. There is no fine but rules that must be followed within 30 days.
Police Union President Terry Peterson says they will form a committee that focuses on informational labor issues and will disclose expenditures. He says these ads come as the result of their contract dispute and not the election. In fact a new ad will come out after Tuesday's election.
Just to be clear this ruling is a separate issue from the one that involves Democratic Rockford Mayoral Candidate Jim Hughes.
The union argues they have nothing to do with the election, but the contractual impasse between them and the city. That's scheduled for arbitration in April.
This is a separate issue from the one that involves challenger Jim Hughes.

|USDA Rural Development invites pre-applications for grant funds
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Colorado Rural Development is currently accepting pre-applications for the Rural Business Enterprise Grant (RBEG) program. The RBEG program provides grants for rural projects that finance and facilitate development of small and emerging rural businesses, help fund business incubators and help fund employment-related adult education programs.
In Fiscal Year 2012, last year Colorado funded nearly $366,950 in RBEG applications statewide. "This grant program reaches the core of rural development by benefiting small and emerging private businesses and increasing economic development in areas across our state," said April Dahlager, director, Business and Cooperative Programs.
Eligible applicants include rural public entities (towns, communities and state agencies), Indian tribes and rural, private, non-profit corporations.
The RBEG program serves as a catalyst for rural communities to launch new business ventures. In Fiscal Year 2012, Windsor Restoration & Historical Association Inc. received a $99,950 RBEG to renovate the remaining 1,336 square feet of the Windsor Hotel building complex to create a conference center with several areas for use by rural small businesses to enhance and expand their market area and clientele.
"Being able to provide funding to rural areas that can be the catalyst for economic development is a crucial part of Rural Development's mission," said Dahlager. "This program has been very competitive in the past years, and I encourage applicants to apply early, as this year, funds are limited," said Dahlager.
Pre-applications must be submitted to a local Rural Development office by Dec. 31.
For further information on rural programs or to locate the closest office, visit http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/co.
USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, administers and manages housing, business and community infrastructure and facility programs through a national network of state and local offices.
Rural Development has an existing portfolio of more than $172 billion in loans and loan guarantees. These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America.

The 42 compounds in Pharm Exec's "2011 Pharma Pipeline Report" reflect this evolutionary moment. The list of firsts, of significant advances and downright breakthroughs, is unusually promising. New classes of HIV-inspired protein inhibitors are set to increase the cure rate in Hepatitis C by 50 percent. In multiple sclerosis, the advent of new oral therapies and new approaches may dramatically cut disease progression. Patients with lupus will have the first new treatment in half a century, and better, safer bloodthinners will finally lay old warhorse warfarin to rest. The vaccine pipeline heralds first-ever prevention against such widely varied threats as malaria, MRSA bacteria, and anthrax. And in cancer a few new treatments have hit the bull's-eye on new targets and pathways, including previously untreatable triple-negative breast cancer and advanced melanoma, while a small group of non-small-cell lung cancer patients may have a Gleevec-like success story. Meantime, the anti-CETP inhibitors have risen from the grave, as several competing molecules, much-tweaked for safety, race to become the first-in-class good-cholesterol gooser—and rake in Lipitor-sized profits.
"The next innovation for pharma will come from a more comprehensive approach to disease," says Mike Wokash, a veteran of Big Pharma who blogs at http://Pharmareform.com/. "Too many of the big players are still looking for a product in a market for next year rather than looking to make a real impact on a disease in five or 10 years." Now, with comparative effectiveness and price pressures in the offing, regulators, payers, and consumers are all demanding better value, guaranteed efficacy, and proven outcomes—and for pharma, chasing innovation demands more investment of all kinds than ever before.

Protect Yourself from Medical Debt Overload with Self-Advocacy
December 27, 2012 in health care costs, Health Insurance, Hospital Bills, Insurance Bills, Medical Debt
You or someone you know may be closing out the year with large amounts of medical debt even after insurance payments or what you thought were relatively minor surgeries or other procedures. In fact, you may feel like you've been hit by a blizzard by the sheer number of bills related to that one procedure. And they keep on coming.
One step you can do is confirm or validate the bill, especially if a lot of time has elapsed since the initial service. This simply means you want proof that you had the services rendered and do in fact owe the balance due. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, credit agencies are supposed to help consumers to ensure that bills are correct and fair before payment is rendered. But without good knowledge of these laws and taking the time necessary to investigate, you could end up paying much more than you owe. Here are a few other ways to stand up for yourself and your bottom line.
Keep Proof of Charges
The bad apples that pollute our debt collection environment may be operating on an entirely fraudulent basis. There have been many news stories of consumers receiving calls from phone bank operators, posing fraudulently as legitimate debt collectors. A tip off is that in many instances, the caller will fail to fully identify him/herself, their company, and the nature of the call. There are also reports that unprincipled companies are using 'bread crumbs' of financial data in order to manufacture phony debts that their workers demand payment for during outbound telephone calls. Collectors have been known to threaten litigation or other legal action without any legal basis as well as fail to provide written proof that a debt is owed when requested by the consumer.
One big part of your arsenal is the paper trail of charges, as well as Explanation of Benefits (or EOBs) that show whether or not the insurance company paid their fair share. Keep all of these documents on hand so that you can prove any overcharges and trigger an analysis by a credit agency.

So in writing about the Mets and their catcher/shortstop situation, I lumped the two results of the injuries to Josh Thole and Ruben Tejada- the premature promotion of Jordany Valdespin and the ineffective catching tandem of Mike Nickeas and Rob Johnson- to a lack of organizational depth.
Somehow, I completely forgot about Omar Quintanilla, a player a href="http://mets.lohudblogs.com/2012/01/03/a-pair-of-acquisitions/"whose acquisition I praised this winter./a My bad. The Mets did well on shortstop protection.
Now assuming Tejada is out for a while, the worry here is that Valdespin, a highly unfinished hitter who has not excelled defensively at shortstop, will have his development stunted by trying to master the position, and the strike zone, on the fly at the major league level. After the game, a pumped-up Terry Collins said that Valdespin had "paid his dues" in the minor leagues, but he hasn't, not really, and especially not at shortstop.
If the Mets turn to Quintanilla instead, they could employ a plus defensive shortstop who is hitting quite well at Triple-A. (He had two hits last night, and is at .300/.382/.522 for the season).
Perhaps this is mooted by the return of Ronny Cedeno, which would be a shame, since Cedeno's bat doesn't belong anywhere near a major league roster, let alone a starting role. In fact, when the Mets signed Quintanilla, I assumed they did so to get a better Cedeno alternative for less.
Anyhow, I thought it was worth clarifying. The catcher problem is an inventory one. The rushing of Valdespin? My guess is the Mets are simply looking for impact bats at this point. Valdespin profiles as a marginal prospect if he doesn't figure out how to take a pitch or catch the ball consistently, so I'd sure prefer to see him doing that at Triple-A. And let the veteran depth they do have- Quintanilla really stands out relative to Triple-A alternatives at other positions, let alone the pitching staff- man shortstop for a few weeks.

At this point, the issue with Quintanilla is that there's no space on the 40-man. Space could be cleared, but at the price of having to DFA someone. The 2 candidates right now who stand out as candidates are Batista and Satin. There's really no one else to cut. Both would probably clear waivers, although there's a chance a team looking for IF help could take a chance on Satin. However, they will already need to DFA someone already to make room for another catcher, and Batista is (at least currently) the 5th starter – although that could change if he performs poorly tonight, in which case my guess is that he'd get the ax. So that limits the options even further. At some point it becomes a numbers game and right now there's really no room to clear a spot on the 40, so Valdespin – who is on the 40 – is here, at least temporarily.
Finally, I think that when you're talking about the short term (which we're hoping the injury to Tejada will be), starting an impact (although still undisciplined) bat isn't awful as a high-risk high-reward strategy, since the initial scouting reports on him will probably be very limited and so he might be able to take advantage of mistakes before pitchers learn how to exploit his weaknesses.
Edgy DC
The stunted development angle is hard to demonstrate. Tejada was up getting at-bats while still wearing diapers, but seems to be developing nicely. Valdespin is here to bring versatility and athleticism, as well as shortstop reps, for the next week or so. He'll be sharing time with Justin Turner, and then Ronny Cedeno will take over, and then Ruben Tejada will take over, and barely a blip in his developmental calendar will have passed.
Calling up Quintanilla is certainly an attractive option, but it would take a painful 40-man roster transaction, and it hardly seems to be worth it for the presumed difference between calling him up for a week vs. calling up Valdespin.
Meantime, Valdy won the game for you last night. For you! GET ON YOUR KNEES AND THANK HIM, YOU UNGRATEFUL WRETCH!

- 1 Local Clone of a Google Code Repository for Internal Use
Local Clone of a Google Code Repository for Internal Use
- Advait thinks it might be good for people in lab to be able to push to and pull from a non-google computer that has a clone of gt-ros-pkg
- The goal would be to use this as an internal git repository with the option of pushing to gt-ros-pkg hosted on google.com when code is ready to be publicly downloadable.
Create bare git repository on internal git server
- ssh skynet.hsi.gatech.edu -lmycroft
- mkdir internal_git_bare
- cd internal_git_bare
- Clone gt-ros-pkg with advait as the user on skynet.hsi.gatech.edu:
git clone https://email@example.com/p/gt-ros-pkg.hrl/
- Convert to a bare repository using steps from here:
- cd gt-ros-pkg.hrl/
- git config --bool core.bare true
- mv .git/ ../
- rm -rf *
- mv ../.git/ .
- create an internal_hrl branch:
git branch internal_hrl
- change default branch to internal_hrl:
git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/internal_hrl
- this is the only branch that we should use from the internal server.
Clone from the internal server
- cd to whichever directory you want to keep your repo in. (e.g. cd ~/git)
- git clone email@example.com:/home/mycroft/internal_git_bare/gt-ros-pkg.hrl
- git checkout --track origin/internal_hrl
- now you will see two branches (master and internal_hrl)
- usually Advait would expect people to work in the internal_hrl branch
Add a remote branch to work directly with the google code repository
- git remote add -f gt-ros-pkg.hrl_google_code https://code.google.com/p/gt-ros-pkg.hrl/
- git checkout -b google_code_master gt-ros-pkg.hrl_google_code/master
To release code
- git checkout google_code_master
- git checkout internal_hrl <path to files to release>
- git commit -a
- type in some descriptive release message.
- git checkout internal_hrl
- switch back to the internal_hrl branch
- ssh to skynet and push to google code.
Getting a single folder from svn
- clone just that folder into a separate git repository.
- then merge this new git repository into gt-ros-pkg.hrl using these instructions.

Bluewit, the cat
Courtesy of correntian NWLuna, we have a Petidote with a real cat to admire today. Meet Bluewit, who has a story attached to his name, but we'll let NWL tell it, mostly because I don't know what it is.
I'm not sure if Bluewit is singing in this picture or if the vet asked him to open wide and say "Ahhhh" or if he's just bored with us, although I'm leaning toward the latter. If we're lucky, NWL will come by and tell us more about this handsome guy. Read more about Petidote of the Day 2012-11-30

Dizzy videos
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Stability is a must when shooting and this thing does not perform well in that catergory... thithing moves all over the place even on my huge full face ! Not reccommended
Not my favorite.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
In theory this is a great accessory, except that the first time you watch the video you realize just how much you move your head! Difficult to keep steady and doesn't provide the greatest shots.
Used this to mount it to our dog
The first part of this video and again a few seconds into it is with it around Deso's chest and hanging the go pro off to his side. This was one of my first videos so its pretty shaky.
I haven't really used it
the only time I've really used this was for "mounting" a go pro on the dog. It bounces around if you are doing anything active but I can see it being very good for scuba and snorkeling.
Great, took it diving and snorkeling to Jamaica and it did a great job at capturing the reef. Stayed in place and totally functional.
Doesn't stay on in fast motion
The mount will slide off your head in fast bouncing motions unless you tighten it soo much that it starts to hurt. It's produces good shots overall though.
Don't mind looking a little foolish?
I wear this when I swim, drive, and sometimes when I just walk around and want to record my life. I get some double takes but whatever. I wouldn't recommend doing any crazy bouncing activities like mountain biking, it gets pretty shaky on the head. But for day to day capturing its a fun view.
does this fit on a ski helmet?
does this fit on a ski helmet?
Yes, but it isn't super secure. I would highly recommend going for the helmet mount.
I second Mark on that- definatly better to get a helmet mount and use a short cordage to tether it to your helmet as a backup.

5 Right-Wing Myths About Raising the Minimum Wage, Debunked (Part I)
January 30, 2014
The Contributor
If the 1968 federal minimum wage had kept pace with inflation it would be $10.75 today. But it is only $7.25, an amount so low that many full-time workers need such government assistance as food stamps and Medicare just to get by.
There is a bill before Congress and endorsed by President Obama that will raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hours and index it to inflation in the future. That means the wage will increase as inflation increases so it never falls behind again. Meanwhile there are reports that President Obama is considering using executive action to raise the minimum wage for employees of federal contractors.
Corporations like Walmart and McDonalds like the current situation of really low wages at the bottom because it puts more into the pockets of those at the top. So the corporate/conservative machine is grinding out propaganda against raising the minimum wage. Here is a look at five of the most common propaganda points theyre trying to trick us with.
1. Myth: Only teenagers make the minimum wage.
A common conservative myth, repeatedendlessly, is that only teenagers earn the minimum wage; that its a starter wage and people quickly move up to a better wage as they gain experience.
There may once have been a time when most people who earned the minimum were teenagers in starter jobs. But times and the structure of our economy have changed for the worse. According to the Economic Policy Institute, 87.9 percent of those affected nationally by increasing the federal minimum wage to $9.80 are 20 years of age and older. The share of those affected who are 20 or older varies by state, from a low of 77.1 percent in Massachusetts to a high of 92.4 percent in Florida (and 93.9 percent in the District of Columbia). Also, more than a third (35.8 percent) are married, and over a quarter (28.0 percent) are parents.
Notably, 49 percent of people making the minimum wage are adult women.
2. Myth: A minimum wage is government interference that just distorts the market. If there are lots of people looking for work, then wages should fall.
The problem with this myth is that we live in a consumer economy and a consumer economy does better when more people and businesses have more money to spend. In other words, the economy rises and falls based on how much demand there is for the goods and service that our companies provide.
When the economy slows and people are laid off this increases the supply of people looking for jobs which causes wages to fall. As wages fall, demand falls because people have less to spend and the economy slows even more. So even more people get laid off, putting even more downward pressure on wages. This can become a death spiral for an economy.
This is why government action is so important. A minimum wage provides a floor to how low wages can fall. Every business watches out for itself and lowers wages when they can. But when every business is lowering wages it hurts every business. So while all businesses are engaged in the task of watching out for themselves government has to be there to watch the big picture and step in when necessary.
A second problem with this short-term market thinking is that it gives businesses a financial incentive to use their influence to push policies that keep unemployment high, thus forcing down wages. Senate Republicans filibustered the Bring Jobs Home Act and the American Jobs Act as just two of more than 400 filibusters in recent years, helping to keep unemployment high. Companies that are fighting what they call government interference so they can continue to pay low wages are cutting their own throats because they are really causing their own customers to have less to spend.
3. Myth: Raising the minimum wage costs jobs.
This is one place where conservative ideology is clearly refuted by looking at what actually happens. When you have states next to each other, and one raises the minimum wage while the other does not, you can compare the results.
It might seem obvious to people that raising wages will cause companies to hire fewer people. But not when you think it through. Well-run companies employ the right number of people to handle the demand for the goods or services they produce. They dont just have extra people sitting around reading the newspaper, who they will lay off if they have to pay a couple of dollars more an hour.
Picture a store with only one cashier and 20 people in line. Pretty soon people get impatient and leave. A sensible manager is going to put the right number of cashiers at the checkout lanes to handle the number of customers in the store.
In Australia the minimum wage is $16.68 and the unemployment rate is 5.8 percent. In the U.S. the minimum wage is $7.25 and unemployment is down to 6.7 percent, but is falling largely due to people leaving the labor force because they just cant find work. This is not to say that the unemployment rates in Australia and the U.S. are different because of the difference in the minimum wage, but it does show that the high Australian minimum wage has hardly crashed Australias economy.
4. Myth: Raising the minimum wage hurts blacks, Latinos, fill in the blank.
Many conservatives play a propaganda trick by claiming that raising the minimum wage hurts the very people liberals want to help. Fox News Art Laffer called the minimum wage the Black Teenage Unemployment Act. At far-right Townhall, Walter E. Williams claimed that increases in the minimum wage at both the state and federal level are partially to blame for the crisis in employment for minority young adults.
This claim uses a core misconception as its underpinnings, that increasing the minimum wage costs jobs. Since (fill in the blank) group faces high unemployment, raising the minimum wage shows you are a hypocrite because all you are doing is costing (fill in the blank) jobs. But this is as false as saying that raising the minimum wage takes away jobs.
