Given the current level of unemployment in Honolulu very few are working for the minimum wage. If they are they should share lodging with others in a similar situation until they can afford to live alone if they choose to. Nothing says you are guaranteed private living quarters.

there are a lot of factors to consider when offering your building as a shelter.
.
at minimum, the building needs to have an adequate number of workers present to open the doors, turn on utilities, direct operations, and control the crowds. so, osteen needs to be sure enough church workers were available to work 24/7 shifts for the next two weeks.
.
there needs to be a plan for food, water, security, sanitation, medical/medication issues, cleaning and more.
.
things can deteriorate quickly without planning, staffing and supplies as was evidenced when the new dome opened as a shelter with little or no advanced planning, inadequate staffing, no food, water and no medical supplies.
.
easy to blame osteen if you are not the one responsible for providing two weeks worth of security, staffing, sanitation, food, water and medical supplies that evacuees require.

Given that the word "sentimentality" has definitions that are about four miles wide, it is difficult to be sure exactly what the professor meant,

You really have no idea who Zero Hedge is. CNN and other news organization shun zero hedge because of its inaccuracies. So the little teaser is just a lie. Zero Hedge has been characterized as conspiratorial, publishes misleading information and serves as relible Russian propaganda outlet.

Why should the State provide police protection service to any communities that do not pay for local police? Our State government is suppose to treat all Alaskans equally.

Aren't most strandings intentional, e.g. sick or exhausted animals grounding to avoid drowning, and then others in their family strand themselves trying to help? What other explanation can there be for obviously intelligent animals repeatedly grounding themselves like this? Assuming the veterinarian got blood samples to analyze, when will they know it the animal was sick? She didn't actually give him ibuprofen, did she? That stuff's nasty.

"When you start running out of ideas to change the present, you start messing with the past, history, past figures and Canadian traditions."
Unbelievable!!!
Did you even read the article? The author has ideas to change the present. The whole premise of this piece is about dealing with "present" issues.
You, and others, as he suggests, are just not listening, or do not want to listen.
He lists a few legitimate "present" concerns:
"slow implementation of recommendations made by the inquiry investigating the death of seven First Nations youth in Thunder Bay; and we’ve seen the grieving family of PERSON, the First Nations victim in a racially motivated killing, forced to flee their homes because of threats made against their children at school."
Your complete inability, or desire, to understand what he is saying suggests you come to the discussion with a mind already made up.

I wonder if this would/should bring an end to the practice of tipping. Australia and Norway ensure a "living wage" for all, including restaurant workers; but tipping is not practiced. One can see how restaurant workers making $10/hour would come to rely on tips to make ends meet. But if they are to be guaranteed a minimum living wage of $15/hour (and I wouldn't begrudge them that), then should tipping still be expected? Somehow I suspect they will want the best of both worlds---the Australian/Norwegian minimum wages, PLUS tips. | unbiased | 755316 | 1,742,567 |
I seem to remember a reduction in employees due to layoffs in the recent past. Is the County really that better off now that they can afford these ridiculous raises? I doubt it.

Every single Alaska Native grew up on some kind of plantation. Most if not all of us, grew up on some kind of church plantation. So in that sense we are looked upon with some degree of contempt from nearly every side of society. We all grew up as slaves to some kind of plantation manager.
Even non-Natives who are employed by the largest employers in Alaska – Native corporations and their subsidiaries – look upon their employers – us- with some degree of contempt.

If conservatives truly believed in not having vote subsidies, then they would be first in line to cancel the taxable benefit for political contributions instead having contributors liable for the full amount of financial support without forcing other taxpayers to pick up a significant portion of the cost. Truth is they are very happy with that taxpayer funded benefit even when it vastly subsidises one or two parties over all the others. I remember reading something a few years ago about the Conservatives amassing about 80% of that years taxable benefit while only having the support of 38% of the populace. Some people only complain about taxpayer benefits if they aren't personally benefiting from them.

4. 90% of Canadians live in large urban centers, far away from anywhere they would need a truck. If every single vehicle in small rural areas were a truck, you would still have a majority of them being sold to suburbanites, who do not need them.

"Yeah! Eat the rich!" Except most small business owners aren't rich. They have no pensions, no holiday pay, no sick benefits. They have to pay their own CPP contribution just like everybody else, then in addition they must pay the employer's portion on top of it.
