If Mort Divine ruled the world

Well I'll be damned.

Christopher Ranch, which grows garlic on 5,000 acres in Gilroy, Calif., announced recently that it would hike pay for farmworkers from $11 an hour to $13 hour this year, or 18%, and then to $15 in 2018. That’s four years earlier than what’s required by California’s schedule for minimum wage increases.

Ken Christopher, vice president at Christopher Ranch, said the effect of the move was immediately obvious. At the end of last year, the farm was short 50 workers needed to help peel, package and roast garlic. Within two weeks of upping wages in January, applications flooded in. Now the company has a wait-list 150 people long.

“I knew it would help a little bit, but I had no idea that it would solve our labor problem,” Christopher said.

cf had me convinced the laws of supply and demand don't apply in utopian "Commifornia".

damn, I messed up. I just told a bunch of black people on FB that Africans enslaved other Africans for the slave trade and they're acting like i'm dropping alternative facts

 

[Dak]

So much for the efficacy of African Studies.

Orgasm gap

 

[Dak]

It looks to me like the only persons having sex problems are straight females. They might want to work on that

I find it funny that women are so intent on emasculating men with all of this feminist nonsense and yet can't see that they need a fucking man (that isn't a little bitch) to satisfy them.

Go watch a masculine man chop wood for an hour and see if that doesn't help your sex life more than reading a women's rag about how they should prefer men that cry.

 

[Einherjar86]

I guarantee that a woman watching me chop wood would enjoy little more than a mediocre comedy act. I have scrawny arms and bad hand-eye coordination. Somehow I still convinced a woman to marry me.

 

[Dak]

Well CIG makes two points, and two that I think I generally agree with either together or separately:
1. A guy who can demonstrate independent mastery of things other than SJW activism (whether it be physical or mental in nature - I'm being very lenient in my interpretation) is going to be more attractive (which one has more weight depends on the woman).
2. A straight woman who indulges in feminist propaganda is less likely to be brought to orgasm by any male.

 

[Einherjar86]

The first point will be generally true whether you're talking about women or men. Everyone likes people who have their shit together.

As far as the second point goes, I'm inclined to disagree, although I would admit that, on an individual level, it's probably accurate in some cases. I just don't think it's a generalizable principle.

50 Shades of Feminism wasn't a blockbuster seller.

 

[Einherjar86]

No, but We Should All Be Feminists was.

Your intellectual capabilities most likely turn your woman on. I'm speaking to people that aren't mingling with intellectual mensches.

 

[Dak]

No, but We Should All Be Feminists was.

The first book in the 50 Shades trilogy sold over 100 million copies. I can't find any sales stats on the book you listed. Sweden forced it on their highschoolers apparently, so that's a taxpayer funded 1 million max. Only 99 million more to go.

I'm not saying 50 Shades wasn't trash, but there's something there in that modernized dime store smut that got a bunch of women all excited.

they are really just ridiculous creatures

look at this response to a woman who claims to have never had an orgasm in her life (stupid Bachelor shit I run into on sports websites now, because women think the Bachelor is sports and they are ruining my existence)

1. Imagine a man saying he’d never had an orgasm at the age of 25. I’m sure those guys are out there, but they’re few and far between, because in our society, men are supposed to. And yet, for women, there’s still a lot of shame associated with sexual pleasure.
2. That’s garbage.
3. Men: BE BETTER AT SEX!
4. Honestly, what is your problem? Figure out how to make a woman feel good and then do it, for crying out loud.
5. R.I.P. Raven’s ex. You just got dunked on so hard on national TV that I’m pretty sure you’re dead now.
6. If Raven’s lying, and she did have good sex with her ex but is just saying this to get back at him for cheating on her with that nurse, it’s the most impressive troll job I’ve ever witnessed. I wouldn’t put it past her, given that she’s already told us she hit him over the head with a stiletto.

I get what you're saying Dak. Are we really comparing sales now?

We Should All Be Feminists was on the NYT Bestsellers list for at least seventeen weeks. I don't think it sold as well as 50 Shades, but fiction always sells better than nonfiction. Pointing out that differential proves very little because it's remarkable that a book explicitly on feminism sold that well in the first place, and stayed on the bestseller list for so long.

Also, Sweden distributed copies to high school students. They didn't "force" it on them. Stop being so sensationalist, please.

Sweden distributed copies to high school students ..... They didn't "force" it on them.

hmmmmm, so you fail to see the problem here?

"they're basically forcing it on them, but they're not really forcing it on them"

The distribution of literature is the exact opposite of what authoritarian systems do. Tyrants burn books, they don't distribute them.

It would be different if they prohibited every book but We Should All Be Feminists.
