"Butthurt" seems to be a euphemism for "absolutely right about economic impacts" in this scenario, then.

#obama's uphill battle!

I assume you have evidence to the contrary as to how these supposedly "butthurt" companies were wrong, right?

"butthurt" means "pissed off about being in the wrong" actually

hth

...and in this instance, "wrong" refers to ethically wrong.
As you seem to have noticed, left-wing business owners weren't butthurt about cost increases in order to help fellow Americans. Because to them, that was ethically correct. So yeah, left-wingers - affected financially or not - were not butthurt.

Make sense?

Missed this before.

...and in this instance, "wrong" refers to ethically wrong.

That's an entirely different discussion, of course.

As you seem to have noticed, left-wing business owners weren't butthurt about cost increases in order to help fellow Americans. Because to them, that was ethically correct.

Which, I assume, is why left wing businesses sought out waivers and delays as well, right? Because it was ethically correct?

Make sense?

I think so. The ACA was ethically wrong.

Oh, so how were they wrong?

This is such boilerplate Jeff you're playing here. You're the one making the sure claims about economic doom. How about evidence for that?

Alternatly, business owners whine and moan because instead of buying another yacht, they have to support the people who got them the money to buy the first yacht...

"absolutely right about economic impacts"

Somehow, all the clever industrialized nations around us have figured this out, your lack of faith in America is noted.

Also, declarations of surety like that need some sort of supporting evidence.

They have? I'm not so sure of that. Downward spiral and all that.

Why else is the White House delaying implementation?

Objection: Asked and Answered!

You have, again, proving yourself incapable of sustaining a thoughtful dialogue.

"Butthurt" is not an answer.

This is how you engage in discussion. You alter terms until you are correct.

This is not how civilized people behave.

You're going to preach to me about civilized behavior? Really?

How's this: engage in discussion. Answer this (http://politicartoons.livejournal.com/4106694.html?thread=92814278#t92814278). Then this (http://politicartoons.livejournal.com/4106694.html?thread=92821190#t92821190). Show me how it's done.

*yawn*

you aren't worth a single iota of my energy. and as I stated, it's been asked and answered, now you're just stomping your feet.

Duly noted.

Can we answer this (http://politicartoons.livejournal.com/4105176.html?thread=92794840#t92794840)? ;)

Not really much to say. Google results show a lot of noise, passive aggressive Google results show an eyeroll and a lot of noise.

My Google results pretty clearly show that Costco has ~4000 SKUs and Sam's Club has ~5000 SKUs. Your 46,000 number is for Walmart, and we agreed that Costco and Walmart aren't competitors.

So those other economic impacts (http://www.cnbc.com/id/100840148) are what, chopped liver?

In a way (http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2009/06/why-warrens-new-bankruptcy-study-is-so-bad/18834/), exactly yes (http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2009/06/elizabeth-warren-and-the-terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad-utterly-misleading-bankruptcy-study/18826/).

I'm unclear on why half of a significant number is an insignificant number.

What are you trying to say?
