laws about minimum wage should apply to disabled people

laws about minimum wage should apply to incarcerated people 

everyone deserves a fair living wage for their labor

“If that was the case then employers wouldn’t want to hire disabled people.”

Cool, make them. Crack down on discriminatory workplaces. Some person’s labor is not worth inherently less than when someone else does the same job.

Citra is REALLY bad at meowing. She sounds like a broken party favor when she remembers to actually meow.

OH MY GOD

Being an orange female kitty is already rare, but you had to go adopt the one in a million who can’t cat properly

She came in a two pack so I had to.

Simcoe (left) and Citra (right), both girls. Both rescues. Both biological litter mates (sisters). Both long term loving projects to teach human trust to.

Simcoe got 100% of the meowing capabilities.

Peak 2018 nightmare state is the government telling this to a frightened child.

A landmark climate-change lawsuit brought by young people against the US government can proceed, the Supreme Court said on 2 November. The case, Juliana v. United States, had been scheduled to begin trial on 29 October in Eugene, Oregon, in a federal district court. But those plans were scrapped last month after President Donald Trump’s administration asked the Supreme Court to intervene and dismiss the case.

The plaintiffs, who include 21 people ranging in age from 11 to 22, allege that the government has violated their constitutional rights to life, liberty and property by failing to prevent dangerous climate change. They are asking the district court to order the federal government to prepare a plan that will ensure the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere falls below 350 parts per million by 2100, down from an average of 405 parts per million in 2017.

By contrast, the US Department of Justice argues that “there is no right to ‘a climate system capable of sustaining human life’” — as the Juliana plaintiffs assert.

Bear forever in mind that this is a conservative government, a Republican government, arguing that no one has the right to a livable planet.

This is insane. Surely “Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” would cover having a planet capable of sustaining life, no?
