May 8 bigyaz commented on Proof That Paying McDonald's Employees More Leads to Happier Employees.

In fact, there are MANY studies that show that pay is far down on the list of predictors of workplace satisfaction. Does anyone really think making $9.19 an hour is going to make a worker significantly happier than making $7.25 -- while doing the same mind-numbing, smelly, disgusting work?

That said, I think paying $7.25 an hour is unconscionable.

@32: Bullshit. They don't get college credit in almost all cases. And the only skills they hone are taking orders from hipsters and compiling calendar items.

It's free labor for the Stranger, and they should be ashamed. No way could Savage defend it if you put him on the spot.

@1, 7: Actually, call the cops about your stolen or vandalized car and see how seriously they take it. You can go in and fill out a report, but that's about it.

If only they had devices that you could carry with you and read outdoors...

Finkibinder shows up in a lot of videos, egging on the cops until he finally got the response he was hoping for. Well done, SPD.

May 2 bigyaz commented on Late-Night May Day Wrap-Up.

Slog spent all day yesterday downplaying the chance of any vandalism or violence. So to expect an evenhanded accounting of events -- such as mentioning all the crap that was thrown at the police -- is unrealistic. Kiley et al are nothing but apologists.

May 1 bigyaz commented on Police Throwing Flash Bangs into Crowd "Like Beads at Mardi Gras" at 5th & Olive.

Goldy has zero credibility in covering these events. He's been going out of his way to minimize any possible disruption, so now that the troublemakers are throwing rocks at police and vandalizing he's looking for ways to blame the cops.

That's the best photo Charles has ever posted!

Charles: Thank you for ending this argument (the existence of God) once and for all.

Apr 29 bigyaz commented on Jason Collins Isn't the First Openly Gay Pro Basketball Player.

The Sports Illustrated cover used the phrase "major American team sport," which is totally accurate. Not their fault that various Tweets and blog posts failed to qualify it properly.
