Feared U-T job cuts aren't San Diego's only layoffs
"Nine bucks an hour (plus tips) doesn't quite cut it in Southern California's economy." For you, maybe. And if that's the case, all you have to do is not take the job. Problem solved. But there are a lot of people who aren't worth any more than that, and/or are perfectly content to get it.— September 22, 2015 1:06 p.m.
Biotechs belted
So, first, was the $13.50 a pop price heavily subsidized? If so, by whom? And if the drug really is 62 years old, the patents have long expired, and anyone can make a generic copy. Come on, Don, you can write a better, deeper-reaching article than this. It looks like you were quick to decry him and his actions rather than find out what's really going on.— September 22, 2015 1:03 p.m.
Low: Bicycle stolen from dog in Mission Beach
Umm, if the garage door was "unable to close completely", maybe that wasn't the best place to store valuables?— September 22, 2015 12:59 p.m.
City Heights slumlord on notice
If I lived in a place that was so terrible, I'd move.— September 22, 2015 12:58 p.m.
Qualcomm layoffs begin
"But I can never find another job that pays that much!" A sure sign you were already overpaid.— September 18, 2015 3:14 p.m.
San Diego's poverty rate 15.7 percent
We "have to do it"? For how many of them? What happens when we reach that number and more still want to come? A lifeboat cannot take every drowning person. It'll sit lower and lower until it tips over, and everyone's drowning again. We can, and should, take LIMITED numbers of people who show that they can be contributing members of society. But the masses screeching, "We're poor, we're hungry, we have nothing, we need everything" should be turned away before they capsize the US. We've already taken on far, far too much unpayable debt in a hopeless attempt to "fight poverty" that has done nothing but created more of it.— September 18, 2015 11:44 a.m.
Will self-driving cars and delivery drones take your job?
Greater efficiency always benefits everyone in the long run. People have been crying that technology kills jobs for decades or centuries. Instead, it's created huge numbers of good-paying jobs. Which would you rather do... perform menial labor for minimum wage, or design and build and install and service and program the robots that replace the drone laborers? Go to school, kids...— September 17, 2015 9:12 a.m.
U.S. Dentist Fears Patient Safety, Income Loss From Cross-Border Competition
I know several people who have gone to Mexico for dental work. They all seemed to be as happy as people who went to US dentists. My brother and I are always kidding his girlfriend... she's deathly afraid of Mexico, too, and we'll say something like we could be in a plane flying south, and the instant it crosses the border, it's suddenly running badly, there are chickens and goats in the aisles, maybe a guy in a sombrero firing a six-shooter out a window... people have this idea that the entire country of Mexico is filthy and corrupt and the people are stupid and lazy and nothing works and only morons and criminals go there. I guess we're all free to make our own choices! If the US dentists are so concerned about "safety", they could lower their prices... but of course they can't, because our government-run health care system makes it too expensive to operate without charging huge sums. Regulations, red tape, requirements, having to deal with insurance company bureaucracies, it all costs money.— September 17, 2015 9:10 a.m.
Two Qualcomm billionaires give big to Democrats
So where are all the leftist cries about "too much money in politics, wealthy special interests are buying elections, the little guy has no chance"? You ALWAYS hear that when the Koch Bros. fund something they believe in. But not a peep when it's huge labor unions, Michael Bloomberg, or other wealthy Democrats pouring enormous sums of money into campaigns.— September 17, 2015 9:03 a.m.
