I think what is being ignored with the silly Norway example is that that in 2007 (last year I found) the homicide rate was .6%. Not like they have a rampant problem that long term internment will solve.
Aside from that, how many criminals here in the US have been paroled for violent crimes including murder?

How much revenue/profit does your " kid" generate for the owner, and the corporation.
Someome knows the answer
Somewhere in there lies "equitable"
Even the Royal Navy's lopsided scheme for distributing prize money, and the privateers' and pirates', recognized that.
It is also how we justify bubble brained talking heads and even mediocre sports figures making more $$ than teachers, researchers, doctors, and others who actually contribute to society. The revenue they generate for the owners.
For reference only, not suggesting this a "solution". It was in a ddition tomtheir pay.
Command structure of a Navy ship c.1810, showing prize money groupings
The following scheme for distribution of prize money was used for much of the Napoleonic wars, the heyday of prize warfare. Allocation was by eighths. Two eighths of the prize money went to the captain, generally propelling him upwards in political and financial circles. One eighth of the money went to the admiral or commander and chief who signed the ship's written orders (unless the orders came directly from the Admiralty in London, in which case this eighth also went to the captain). One eighth was divided among the lieutenants, sailing master, and captain of marines if any. One eighth was divided among the wardroom warrant officers (surgeon, purser, and chaplain), standing warrant officers (carpenter, boatswain, and gunner), lieutenant of marines, and the master's mates. One eighth was divided among the junior warrant and petty officers, their mates, sergeants of marines, captain's clerk, surgeon's mates, and midshipmen. The final two eighths were divided among the crew, with able and specialist seamen receiving larger shares than ordinary seamen, landsmen, and boys.[1][2]
Examples[edit source |
Perhaps the greatest amount of prize money awarded was for the capture of the Spanish frigate Hermione on 31 May 1762 by the British frigate Active and sloop Favourite. The two captains, Herbert Sawyer and Philemon Pownoll, received about £65,000 apiece, while each seaman and Marine got £482-485.[3][4][5]
Interestingly, the captain's share was decreased, and " the others" share increased a like amount, in 1808.

Never did
Worked lots of jobs, among them mucking stalls, tobacco pickin, busboy, washing cars, driving trucks, wrenching on and painting airplanes, air traffic control and flying airplanes for the smallest and the biggest.
Not too proud to do any of em over again if I have to
Every job isn't worth the same, but every worker is worth a share commensurate to his contribution, not the scraps justified and rationalized by your dismissive comments.

And the Demorats love to keep 'em on "The Government Plantation"................free stuff anybody?
LOL....and you and I are to decide what wages company X should pay its workers based on their corporate earnings?
Mickey Dee seems like they have a model that is quite successful. MD also has plenty of people looking for secondary or tuition income without too much of a problem. Yes they have a high turnover but if many would look into the restaurant and fast food industry they would see that is standard for that type work.
MD's first obligation is to their shareholders and not their employees......you know, just like in the airlines.

Where in the constitution, does it say you should be able to raise a family of 8, flipping burgers ? Did McD's have something to do with your decision to have 8 kids? Just asking!
Is McD's holding a gun to these peoples heads, forcing them to work there ?
And just to think, these employees could be working over 40 hours a week, if not for BaRack-O-Care...........where's the b!tchin' and moanin' concerning that?

Haven't figured out McDonald's is the new plantation yet? Just because no woman would mate with you somehow makes you superior.

I already said I am not to decide... Straw man
The sub, or just barely sub full time scheduling to avoid benefits thing was in wide use before the Heritage Foundation designed Obamacare, so, another straw man...
People will work for any wage before starving, so the fact that they can hire means nothing, another straw man
Unrestricted capitalism has always resulted in a bottom rung that just barely gets by, who happen to supply the labor that creates the revenue that feeds the fat cars their caviar.
Unchecked, there are revolutions, either bloody, or in the form of underground economies and sub-classes of people that learn to work the system, instead of working.

How about sourcing your claim Heritage designed Obamacare.

For proof of this read about the corporations owned by Carnegie, Morgan and others in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Now those were the good ole' days for labor. Working 16 hr days for pennies on the dollar why the bosses and owners made millions. Three cheers for unfettered capitalism ...... blah blah blah.

Heritage designed Obamacare was a tiny stretch
Heritage came up with the individual mandate and related aspects as necessary for universal coverage to work. That was the model for RomneyCare in MA.
RomneyCare was the model for ObamaCare, with of course the expected meddling by the Insurance Lobby.
Heritage of course denies it, but the whole individual mandate/everybody pays/everybody gets covered was a staple of their model.
A legit argument can be made that doing it in a state level is constitutionally different than doing it on the federal level. However, the people spoke, and the Supreme Court decided.
