Title: Mike Rowe - FTW Post by T And T Garage on 07/17/17 at 14:05:15 If you don't already - you may want to listen to his podcasts. http://www.facebook.com/TheRealMikeRowe/posts/1602470736429730:0 It's hard to say he's not center-right leaning - but IMHO, he's one of those rare, rational right leaning folks. |

Title: Re: Mike Rowe - FTW Post by WebsterMark on 07/18/17 at 04:53:06 That's him. Always enjoyed his show when I caught it or when he writes an occasional guest editorial. In his "Dirty Jobs" show, he went to jobs where peopele got, well...they got dirty! But they made a living, some a very good living! He was always reminding his audiance you don't need a college degree to be prosperous. A message that struck home with me. You need to take advantage of those opportunities when they come up, don't be stuck up and think you have to wear a tie to work to be successful, work hard and don't be afraid to get dirty! |

Title: Re: Mike Rowe - FTW Post by justin_o_guy2 on 07/18/17 at 07:00:20 I didn't know how much I agreed with him. It's too bad that every step of every thought process must be explained by the reasonable to get the unreasonable to see. |

Title: Re: Mike Rowe - FTW Post by WebsterMark on 07/18/17 at 07:23:51 reasonable / unreasonable is one way to look at it, but those terms bring opinion into the equation. politics is opinion based on facts with two or three sides to them Another phrase is educated vs uneducated. Not education as in schooling but educated on a particular topic. a plumber vs a non-plumber for example. in my field, I know more that the people I talk to otherwise, why would either of us bother. I have to explain everything. I'll be in Jacksonville, FL tomorrow talking to about 20 engineers who are way smarter than me on about 99% of items, but on this one thing, I know more than all of them combined. I've done this a million times so I know what they will do. they will listen, some will understand, a few will refuse and look for alternative explanations not based on math. For example; minimum wage laws hurting those they intend to help is a mathematical fact. it's easy to point out. what's harder to point out is when some people ignore that fact. you can't keep them on topic. our governor in Missouri pushed through a State Law which overturned the city of St Louis's law to raise minimum wage. the governor is right of course but it's been interesting to watch the protest against him and how the mathematical fact of to high a minimum wage is ignored. |

Title: Re: Mike Rowe - FTW Post by justin_o_guy2 on 07/18/17 at 07:32:12 The SJWs think their beliefs about How it Should Be are reasonable and all that needs to happen is Force those greedy a55holes to Pay a living wage to everyone... And they don't have the first clue about business. |

That repeal could damage an already fragile economy. So far in 2017 St. Louis has had a decent year - with an elevated minimum wage. What's that phrase? If it ain't broke, don't fix it? I guess we'll see what happens there in the next year.... Oh - btw, this thread is about Mike Rowe and the philosophy he promotes - not minimum wage. Let's talk more about getting young people getting back into trades. |

Title: Re: Mike Rowe - FTW Post by WebsterMark on 07/18/17 at 08:20:11 I was answering Jog but apparently you two have this school girl thing going where you have to ask someone else to tell him you said this and back and forth..... which is stupid and candidly, all your fault TT. You bring interesting opinions but you're such a richard sometimes, who wants to bother exploring them?... |

Title: Re: Mike Rowe - FTW Post by raydawg on 07/18/17 at 09:16:45 OMG........ politics is opinion based on facts with two or three sides to them OK children, the word of the day is, convoluted. [kon-vuh-loo-tid] adjective 1. twisted; coiled. 2. complicated; intricately involved: a convoluted way of describing a simple device. For extra credit, look up the word, insane. Dismissed. |
