I love it when a newspaper’s opinion section contains contradicting articles.

In my local paper today there was an article about how minimum wage should not be raised because the point of a minimum wage job is not to provide for the employee, but give them skills and training for higher end jobs later in life. This article was written by the CEO of a neighboring town’s chamber of commerce.

An article on the other page, written by an actual journalist, looked at the general opinion of CEOs of major companies and economists, and how they generally agree that the minimum wage in America should be raised. This is in response to a dying middle class caused by the growing wage gap between the rich and the poor, and how that is choking the economy and American capitalism as a whole. The article in question referenced quotes by the CEO of Goldman Sachs, Warren Buffet, and several others while calling lobbyists at the US chamber of commerce one of the main causes of the defunct economy.

This amuses me.

Being a introvert is like being Robert Downey Jr. in your head

and Castiel in real life

this is the best definition of introvert by far

(via the-chibster)

We all wear masks, for the social world, for our family, our friends, and for ourselves. As we come to better know ourselves and the world around us we chip away at our masks piece by piece.
The masks we wear protect us from the hurts of the world, from our fears and insecurities, and the deepest parts of ourselves; the parts of us that we most fear to see.

One of the greatest and most terrifying questions that can ever be asked, is what lies behind your innermost ;mask, the one that protects you from your darkest truths and truest self.

Methinks the next Papi update will take a brief departure from Papi to show what Libi’s up to.
