Who left? Who are they bringing in?

You really just need to be combative for the sake of keeping me an enemy huh? I'm sorry you feel that way. The question was to establish a base line, whether whomever answered could put the actions and words of a few protesters out of their mind and respond as if in a vacuum. To which the answer is 'No, of course not.' Do you understand how your bias made you answer that way? I hope so. Because its dangerous and hateful. Thank you for participating in my experiment.

Who is a good fit for Columbia, now? Ward - Army, similar recruiting standards, lower budget I would imagine at CU Kolat - Navy, see above, might be in his perfect spot now Pearsall - young guy, might be a good fit for Manhattan-area, Ivy League experience, might help Penn save face if he gets his own HC job within the conference Bedelyon - Rider, might be holding out for RU job down the line Antonelli - Blair, might be a good opportunity to get back into college coaching Tirapelle - HC experience in the Ivy's, has coached almost exclusively, at schools with similar recruiting pools/standards Papadatos - Hofstra, commute changes a bit but could be an interesting challenge Russell - Cornell, could be a good first gig for a young coach Borshoff - Binghamton, this is second least likely I think, but who knows.

Great question. One option, offer people a minimum wage (other industries use the minimum wage too) high enough to afford the rising cost of living. Another, enact measures to control the cost of living and keep it reasonable for the poorest or for everyone so we don't feel the 'reverse racist-ed' of having a roof over our heads. A thought experiment, if these are the only options, which would you prefer? (don't say, 'neither' just to not answer. Its a hypothetical, you're not committing to anything) Are there other options and what are or could they be?

Thanks for your feedback. My answers in Blue! Do you think people that work for minimum wage don't work hard? Did I say that...no...why is it always about making someone a victim? You brought up ‘victims’. So you agree they do work hard. So why say it because they already do? Or do not take responsibility for their situation? Again, did I say that...no. Teaching people to work hard and self-responsibility is what the focus should be. Not overinflating minimum wage for industries and jobs that were never meant to be a career choice and the only way to make a living. This is a bigger conversation around how businesses are run and the economics around it. Agreed, but why shouldn’t/couldn’t this be a career choice? Can a worker not become an owner? It might be that conversations like this and opinions like this are things that paint an unrealistic picture of fast food work. That some think lesser of the work and in so create a cultural bias towards the job and those that seek it. They are thought of as lesser so it doesn’t hurt to much to keep them from making a decent living earning enough to get out of the untouchable occupation. Also, that you make a general statement to start this conversation then say, ‘its part of a bigger conversation’ hinting that there is nuance to these situations and probably shouldn’t be painted with such a broad brush. Can you still struggle to survive while having the ideal qualities that others might use to make leaps forward in their earning trajectory? Have no idea what you are asking here. I merely think society should focus on building good work ethics and self-responsibility in our youths...not overinflating wages for certain jobs and hence overinflating prices. What I am saying is that if a person has a good work ethic but cannot get above the poverty line for one reason or another are they less deserving of assistance? Its not an either or kind of thing. One doesn’t necessarily lead to the other. Companies have engaged in price gouging. Driving up prices while it was needed for production then keeping them high to squeeze more profits while inflation has dropped. Is that practice ethical, moral, or worthy of celebration? Does that make them less deserving of help to make their situation better? Again, quit trying to make someone a victim. Please explain how my question frames it that way? If someone at the age of 18 finds themselves on their own, should a minimum wage job likely one of few they qualify for, offer enough money so as to not need other government assistance? Depends on the job. Fast food should not have a $20/hr minimum wage. If someone is unfortunate enough to not be able to qualify for a higher level and paying job, then that is a whole other conversation. So, ‘I don’t feel fast food deserves $20/hour(Fast food should not have a $20/hr minimum wage.)’ By your metric, these people are less than and therefore do not deserve enough money to allow them a life they can enjoy. Took a while to get here but glad we finally did. You have no good reason you just don’t like them. Glad someone finally said it out loud. Free money? Is it 'free money' if billionaires use tax shelters to keep money that should otherwise be paid in taxes? And do you have the same opinion that something is 'fixed' by them holding on to it? Here's a secrete....there is no such thing as free money no matter how bad you want to make billionaires out to be the boogeyman. Your third question, again I have no idea what they heck you are saying and asking. You just don’t want to give help to people you feel are beneath you? Billionaires are, mistakenly, celebrated and admired in our culture so its fine if they get handouts. That is a pretty sick way of thinking. But not unsurprising. Thank for attempting to answer my questions. Its been enlightening.

Thanks. A book that received the Alex Award for books meant for 12 to 18 year old readers. Probably not appropriate for 5th graders across the board. Some parents might be ok with it though. At a school library for 6th grade and up, should be fine. So at a neighborhood public library, sure. Again, have the conversations with your kids. But let me just reiterate. No one has put forth any evidence that this book has appeared anywhere inappropriate. If you don't like the book and would rather it not be in your child's 5th grade library. I can understand that. If that library also serves 6th graders and up, then you might be out of luck. You should contact the school to see about restricting this material from being checked out. If not, talk to your kids about material that is appropriate. But understand that they will become curious about this stuff eventually. Its a sad day when they grow up. Even just a little bit. But it is how things are meant to work. Don't punish other people because you can't deal with it.

Outrage is the reason. Blame and being the victim while not outwardly saying they are a victim, because their side is not the ones that are snowflake victims.
