Where Liberals come from


Recommended Posts

WHERE THE HELL DO ALL THESE FLAMING LIBERALS COME FROM?


 

I know I have asked myself that begging question repeatedly.

I used to think liberals were inherent, were naturally meant by their DNA to be half the gene pool so we humans would always have “fair minded,” discussions and synthesis of ideas, and reach mutual conclusions for Humanity’s preservation. You know—like, from out of DNA—cometh survival?

But, no. That’s not my final conclusion.

These unmerciful, deadly parasites called liberals are foreign objects that have polluted the gene pool—infiltrated and placed by human intelligences of vast, cool, evil, and envious designs.

 

No, really.

Here’s how and why it was done.

About 3,732 years ago, the vast, walled city-state of Babylon— 200 square miles in size—ruled the known world. This world then consisted of what would become Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, Turkey, and Iran, a truly vast empire.

Holding all this together was the king of Babylon, Hammurabi. He did it with the natural wealth of Babylon; a river ran through it. The tamed Euphrates and mass farming were the basic source of Babylon’s wealth and power. That, and Hammurabi’s code of laws designed to keep it whole, and producing more wealth, food, and services—and a limitless supply of willing serfs and enforcers.

With the advent of cities, walls, empires, kings, politicians, and enforcers of law, what was needed most was a limitless supply of dedicated serfs—human beings willing to work the land, support and pay the king, and to mindlessly cheer and buttress what amounted to their own, self-inflicted enslavement.

Over 10,000 years’ time, they were bred for this labor by the state.

Human beings became farm animals.

 

If you were in favor of king, state, and your own enslavement, you were supported and allowed to breed. If you were against this and questioned or fought it, you were not allowed to breed because you would be dead or in prison.

Simple, yet ingenious.

Like breeding dogs or farm stock animals for specific purposes.

The power and glory of the state were irresistible. No mere human force could entirely subvert or halt this juggernaut. Its stunning brilliance and organization had its birth and was supported and furthered and enhanced by simple farming—and by farming-humans bred specifically to that purpose.

This was the perhaps fatal infection of our human gene pool, over a period of 10,000 years, with a corrupted, yet sweet strain of innocent, blameless humans, domesticated and subdued by power-seeking, envious forces of domination and control—the state.

Simple farming necessitated the creation of science and control: mathematics, writing, astronomy, measurement, weights, volumes,  transportation, medicine, navigation, governance, and the art of warfare against other humans. These endeavors were all necessarily created and fermented by farm planting and irrigation procedures, by scheduling, calculating production, management, taxes and collections, by storage and distribution records, and the like.

 

This created more kings, plantations, desmans, villages, cities, wealth, overlords, laws, enforcers of the law, and—necessarily— an obedient, willing, naturally supportive population of serfs and slaves who cheered the king and their own, blind enslavement, no matter what.

This was the birth of liberalism.

And by suppressing freedom, independence, rugged individualism, and the human spirit to survive and conquer—the kings and rulers partly killed off the free will and uniqueness of enterprising, compassionate, caring, real human beings.

Kings and rulers and their ilk bred in their “good” and bred out their “bad.”

Good and bad were whatever they said it was.

And there you have it: pollution of the gene pool. Maybe forever.

What can we do about it?

Have you ever tried talking and reasoning with a liberal about Obama or Hillarious? Because, somewhere in that experience is your possible answer. It’s your problem, not mine.

Here ya go, Dive... and it was up in your neck of the woods.  Oh, and let's not forget about the minimum wage increase mandate that put many restaurants out of business there too... I believe in Washington State...

 

A CEO raised his company's minimum wage to $70,000 a year, and some employees quit because of it

When Dan Price, founder and CEO of the Seattle-based credit-card-payment processing firmGravity Payments, announced he was raising the company's minimum salary to $70,000 a year, he was met with overwhelming enthusiasm.

"Everyone start[ed] screaming and cheering and just going crazy,"Price told Business Insider shortly after he broke the news in April.

One employee told him the raise would allow him to fly his mom out from Puerto Rico to visit him in Seattle. Another said the raise would make it possible for him to raise a family with his wife. Overnight, Price became something of a folk hero — a small-business owner taking income inequality into his own hands.

But in the weeks since then, it's become clear that not everyone is equally pleased. Among the critics? Some of Price's own employees.

The New York Times reports that two of Gravity Payments' "most valued" members have left the company, "spurred in part by their view that it was unfair to double the pay of some new hires while the longest-serving staff members got small or no raises."

Maisey McMaster — once a big supporter of the plan — is one of the employees that quit. McMaster, 26, joined the company five years ago, eventually working her way up to financial manager. She put in long hours that "left little time for her husband and extended family," The Times says, but she loved the "special culture" of the place.

But while she was initially on board, helping to calculate whether the company could afford to raise salaries so drastically (the plan is a minimum of $70,000 over the course of three years), McMaster later began to have doubts.

"He gave raises to people who have the least skills and are the least equipped to do the job, and the ones who were taking on the most didn’t get much of a bump," she told The Times. A fairer plan, she told the paper, would give newer employees smaller increases, along with the chance to earn a more substantial raise with more experience.

Gravity's web developer, Grant Moran, 29, had similar concerns. While his own salary saw a bump — to $50,000, up from $41,000, in the first stage of the raise — he worried the new policy didn't reward work ethic. "Now the people who were just clocking in and out were making the same as me," he tells The Times. "It shackles high performers to less motivated team members."

He also didn't like that his salary was now so public, thanks to the media attention, and he worried that if he got used to the salary boost, he might never leave to pursue his ultimate goal of moving to a digital company. Like McMaster, Moran opted to leave.

But according to the Times, even employees who are "exhilarated by the raises" have new concerns, worrying that maybe their performances don't merit the money. (Arguably, this is evidence the increase is actually a good idea, potentially motivating people to achieve more.)

For his part, Price — who's also under fire from other local business owners and his brother, who says Price owes him money — stands by his plan, but doesn't begrudge his critics. "There’s no perfect way to do this and no way to handle complex workplace issues that doesn’t have any downsides or trade-offs," he tells the Times. "I came up with the best solution I could." And certainly, many of his employees agree.

Maybe I can ask Adam for $70,000.00 a year just for showing up and spreading the love:lmao: :wub:
