“Working-class Americans have waited too long, close to a decade in fact, for an increase in the minimum wage. This has been the second longest period without a pay raise since the Federal minimum wage law was first enacted in 1938.” FirstsLongHas BeensFactsLawPayClassPeriodsIncreaseRaisesDecadesMinimumWorking ClassMinimum Wage Author:Bill Pascrell
“Once a man has tasted freedom he will never be content to be a slave. That is why I believe that this frightfulness we see everywhere today is only temporary. Tomorrow will be better for as long as America keeps alive the ideals of freedom and a better life. All men will want to be free and share our way of life. There must be so much that I should have said, but haven't. What I will say now is just what most of us are probably thinking every day. I thank God and America for the right to live and raise my family under the flag of tolerance, democracy and freedom.” ThinkingMenWayWantShouldBelieveLongSaidTodayAmericaI BelieveFreedomDemocracyAliveShareHavensTomorrowIdealsMy FamilyShould HaveRaisesSlaveToleranceTemporaryThank GodFlagsBetter LifeBe A SlaveTomorrow Will Be Better Author:Walt Disney
“Whether advanced driver training helps drivers in the long term is one of those controversial and unresolved mysteries of the road, but my eye-opening experience at Bondurant raises the curious idea that we buy cars—for most people one of the most costly things they will ever own—with an underdeveloped sense of how to use them. This is true for many things, arguably, but not knowing what the F9 key does in Microsoft Word is less life-threatening than not knowing how to properly operate antilock brakes.” PeopleLongDoeIdeasHelpingUseEyeTermKnowingMysteryCarKeysTrainingRaisesOpeningCuriousLong TermDriversNot KnowingThreateningControversialMicrosoftBrakeEye OpeningMicrosoft Word Author:Tom Vanderbilt
“Certain countries long ago succeeded where the U.S. has failed in commercializing their air traffic control systems, putting them in the hands of private or quasi-private operators able to raise capital, charge fees, and invest in growth, free of meddling by congressional pork barons. You want a drone-friendly air traffic control system? This is the place to start. Our FAA isn't blindly anti-drone but simply marooned in a system that still needs thousands of eyeballs gazing at radar terminals and out of cockpit windshields.” WantNeedsLongStillsCountryHandsAbleCertainGrowthAirRaisesFriendlyLong AgoTrafficFeesRadarDronesGazingPorkOperatorsEyeballsMeddlingCockpitAir Traffic ControlTraffic Control Author:Holman W.
