Is it just me, or does that read like the rantings of someone whose ideology is circling the drain and she knows it?

She knows that there is a real possibility of her desperately needed climate of impunity disappearing as a result of this scandal, and knows she'll need to find real work if that happens.

Does anyone have a video about the difference between an insult and an ad homiem?
I'm tired of seeing this argument.

Why do you need a video? It can be explained in 5 seconds: "You're wrong therefore you're an idiot" is not an ad hominem; "You're an idiot therefore you're wrong" is.

Three words: Purchasing Power Parity!

look it up.

Official Unemployment Rates around the world (meaning those that gave up don't count): 2013

Denmark: 7.1% Australia 5.6% Germany: 5.3% France:10.5% United States 7.5%.
As far as these 5 countries are concerned, Denmark and the United States represent the median. This is despite the fact (according to the OP) that they represent the outlayers on price fixing. This would suggest something other than the number behind the dollar sign being responsible for unemployment among those with sufficient skill to bother filling out an application.

The column I'm looking at is the third one from the right, as that is the most recent year full data is available. If you look at the two to the right of that, so far not much is changing.

Three words: Purchasing Power Parity!

look it up.

I once went through the just the income and sales taxes, without looking at the actual prices of things (which are generally higher in any country in Western Europe), and came to the determination that what you actually have to spend from a full-time minimum wage job in Denmark is slightly LESS than one in Ontario, Canada (where the minimum wage was $10.25 at the time).

It's no wonder that Danes live in relative squalor.  At my (slightly better than minimum wage) job, I manage a pretty nifty apartment and even the odd night out.  A Dane in the same situation probably couldn't afford more than a bed-sit, and I've got a bedroom, kitchen, den and storage/work room.

Hey, don't Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Austria, Italy, or Switzerland. None of them have minimum wage, and none of them have people starving in the streets.

Germany doesn't have a minimum wage, so that graphic is part fail.

Can you imagine if after 9/11 if President Bush had just said: "You know, our liberty and way of life has been threatened so I'm going to propose a market solution to terrorism."

And how did government intervention exactly help counter terrorism? We spent obscene amounts of money on the war on terror and we're no more safe than we were before 9/11.

But I take it that government intervention will totes fix climate change. After all, what better institution is better suited to curb pollution than the biggest polluter in the world? /s

Claims government needs to do something about climate change. Uses War on Terror as an example.

You got a cluon from me. I feel LESS safe because gov't post 9/11. and gov't has had 40 years (that I know of) to fix climate.
