[robot salsa] Welcome to [robotsalsa] where you will find neither robots nor salsa. What you will see is an occasional pinch of dark humor, a dash of Sci-Fi random fandom, pictures of cats doing hilarious goshdarned things, and finally some World News with views that stray outside of the Left/Right paradigm because of course we know that idea is just an illusion.

Consume a larger spectrum of data with New Integral-Vision! Enjoy.
truth-has-a-liberal-bias: On Jan. 1, 1981 (when Democrat Jimmy Carter was President) the minimum wage went from $3.10 to $3.35. Nineteen days later, Republican Ronald Reagan became President and the minimum wage didn’t go up again until April 1, 1990. The minimum wage went up twice under Daddy Bush & twice under President Clinton, but then we had another long-stall…from Sept. 1997 until July 2007, there was no raise. If you look at the 30-year time period of 1981-2011, you see that 19 of those 30 years went by without an increase in pay for millions of Americans. This has made the minimum wage no longer a “minimum wage”. And this problem is long overdue to be addressed. We need a Living Wage in the USA. Remember Ralph Nader? I do. Fondly.
