  Minumim wage may go to $10 per hour...

  i understand the reasons for the desire to raise the minimum wage, but as a small business owner, i'll have to raise prices to keep my margins profitable.

  a 30% hit is pretty substantial.. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/07/business/bill-pushes-for-increase-in-wages.html.

  Cantleave: Because most of my employees are highschool students or college kids living at home. The few people that are actually trying to support their families are paid $15 already. I will likely re-evaulate my business model and close the shop. Thus unemploying 10 people.

  Thanks for the replies! I watched a bit of the Nasa coverage from the Mauna Kea telescope facility. It's pretty interesting that they are now watching other stars for the "blips" (shadows) the orbiting planets cast on orbit. I think it's a pretty interesting time to be alive.

  cheers!

  You should create a "Meta-Sparlock" thread where we can discuss all the threads about Sparlock.

  I need blue ray and high definition to really feel the poor wizards pain...

  Well, every little thing he does is magic...

  and

  Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

  so...

  He's a being from another world that is so much more advanced than we are technologically.
