Speaking of liberals and of Red Lines, the Freedom Socialist Party (oxymoronic party name aside) in Seattle is looking for a web developer. It's looking to pay this web developer $13/hour, but its Presidential Platform lists a move to $20/hr minimum wage. The national average pay for web developers is an annual $62,500, which is $31.25, assuming an annual 2000 hours worked.

It's the Warren Buffet argument. "I don't have to pay more, so I won't, even though I insist that it's a good idea."

Who do they think they're going to get for 42% of the national average in a city that costs more than average to live?

Someone who is about to graduate from college
That's a laughable salary even for someone straight out of college.

Not sure if joking. Are you really not aware that GS majors are getting hired by Big Corporate as HR troubleshooters and legal advisors at salaries that would give science and tech grads a boner?
American Studies majors -- poor and struggling.
Gender Studies majors -- hand-wringing all the way to the bank, and on their way to running P&G.

Re: 2nd Term Part VIII - The Thin Red Line
And there is the trouble - engineers and scientists should be running manufacturing corporations, not bean counters or liberal arts majors.

Re: 2nd Term Part VIII - The Thin Red Line
You want bean counters running accounting departments along with engineers running engineering departments. Those are specializations that require focus, and you can put narrow people into them.
For the big picture stuff, I'll take liberal arts majors running corporations if the other choices are business majors or lawyers.
No argument on scientists, although the vast majority of people who do science are essentially lab techs, not scientists -- c.f. the difference between "doctors" and "physicians."
