Did you ever go over to a friend's house to eat
And the food just ain't no good?
I mean the macaroni's soggy, the peas are mush, and the chicken tastes like wood.

Pastafarian denied his religious rights
May we all be touched by his noodley appendage.
It sounds like it's time to start mailing cooked pasta messages to ICBC (whoever they are). I bet once they stop being able to enter their offices because they are filled with noodles, they'll see the error of their ways and send that license along promptly.
I'll be compiling my macaroni manifesto.
May his sauce be to your liking.
I wish I could give you a *quality I loved this.
If Walmart Paid Its Employees a Living Wage
I'm all in favor of Walmart paying their employees more than they are, which is horsecrap...
BUT...
This video is a crap argument.
The statistics are riddled with problems.
Just off the top of my head the problems with it...
*They picked Ohio, which isn't indicative of what a living wage would be across the US. It's 16th in cost of living by state rank. That's a crap state to select.
*They picked a 68 cent box of macaroni to show the increase in prices. I completely agree the amount they determined by percentage isn't much, but still, pick a reasonable item to show. Better yet, just say if your average grocery bill is $100, it'll go up X amount.
*As many as 15% of Ohio Walmart employees isn't 15%. Just because you make something that would qualify for food stamps doesn't mean YOU qualify for food stamps. If you're a dependent on someone else is makes a lot of money, you don't qualify as an example. Get the actual amount of people who do if you're going to project numbers about how much food stamps go to Walmart employees.
*I completely am in favor of everyone who works a full work week should get a living wage. 30 hours isn't a full work week! 40 is. Yes, EVERY Walmart employee who works 40 hours a week should earn a living wage. I saw that and wanted to throw things because it completely undermines a good policy idea with crap like that. Nobody considers 30 hours a full work week.
With all that said, bobknight33's argument is horsecrap. Food stamp measures in this case come into play as a reaction to underpay by the employer. Walmart is not paying its employees $8 because they know their employees can get food stamps to make up the difference. They pay their employees $8/hr because they don't have to pay more than that either because of market forces or because gov't regulations don't force them to pay more. If they could, they'd pay $4/hr, food stamps or not.
To argue it's because of any other reason is an exercise of complete naiveté towards the benevolent job creators who are only trying to do good by society.
And to think workers would just not work for such a low wage would only occur if they had other opportunities that paid better. They already don't have those options as is. This would magically change because you took away food stamps?!
Without food stamps to make an unlivable wage a living wage, here's what would happen - Walmart employees would have to work other jobs in addition to their Walmart job with similar low skill requirements. This would increase the labor pool (same number of workers who work more hours = higher supply of workers), and that would drive the cost of labor down, so Walmart and other low skill employers could pay EVEN LESS!
bobknight33... what a brilliant solution for low wages for jobs! You just exacerbated the problem.
Why blame Walmart? Why should I hire you at $13/hr knowing that the government would subsidize that wage by 4 bucks?
I would just hire you at $8 bucks and let you get assistance if you needed it.
Its the governments fault.
The government should just stop giving assistance if you have a job.
Then Walmart employees could not afford to work at the low wages.
This would force Walmart to raise its wages to compete for workers.
and the Mac and cheese would 2 cents. Same result and we each shopper pays for the increase.

Have you ever went over a friends house to eat
And the food just ain't no good?
The macaroni's soggy, the peas are mushed,
And the chicken tastes like wood
So you try to play it off like you think you can
By saying that you're full
And then your friend says, "Mama, he's just being polite
He ain't finished, uh-uh, that's bull!"
So your heart starts pumpin' and you think of a lie
And you say that you already ate
And your friend says "Man, there's plenty of food"
So you pile some more on your plate
While the stinky food's steamin', your mind starts to dreamin'
Of the moment that it's time to leave
And then you look at your plate and your chicken's slowly rottin'
Into something that looks like cheese
Oh so you say "That's it, I gotta leave this place
I don't care what these people think,
I'm just sittin' here makin' myself nauseous
With this ugly food that stinks"
So you bust out the door while it's still closed
Still sick from the food you ate
And then you run to the store for quick relief
From a bottle of Kaopectate
And then you call your friend two weeks later
To see how he has been
And he says, "I understand about the food,
Baby Bubba, but we're still friends"
How to (Properly) Eat Sushi
Seems like there's a lot of over reaction going on here.
It's pretty obvious this guy is talking specifically about eating at high end, absurdly expensive sushi restaurants. If anything, he fails to be specific about this because he's the type of person who doesn't understand there's any other type of sushi out there.
Here's a fact though; if you go to a stupid expensive restaurant of any type, you're generally not going to find condiments sitting on the table. Why? Because the food was prepared by a chef with a specific flavor in mind. That is exactly why you're paying so much fucking money to eat there!
If you order $75 mac-n-cheese made with white truffle shavings and 5 types of imported "fromage", you're not eating somewhere with salt sitting on the table.
Most sushi restaurants are serving the tastes of their local market. So, ignore everything this guy says and eat it any way you like. But if you happen to find yourself as a guest at an absurdly expensive sushi restaurant (or macaroni-n-cheesery), maybe try sampling the food the way it was prepared.

Pat Robertson: “Is mac and cheese a black thing?”
I am thought that perhaps he just didn't understand it as a Thanksgiving/Christmas tradition as well, but like you it seemed more like he had no idea what Mac and Cheese was... This goes right up there with the Paris Hilton's Wal-Mart comment... I mean the local grocery store has something like 5 shelves of the stuff... plus the restaurants and everywhere else...
What was odder is the black lady on set with him going "Yeah! It is a black thing!" Then says how she has it once or twice a year... we have it perhaps that much a month... and we're white...
>> ^ReverendTed:
At this point, I honestly didn't think there was anything Pat Robertson could say that would surprise me.
How does anyone reach his age without having experienced macaroni and cheese? It's a staple. Every buffet has it. Nearly every restaurant has it as a side item. Does Pat not ever eat out?
I wondered if perhaps he just didn't understand it as a Thanksgiving\Christmas tradition, but it sounds like he's got no idea.
