20% December

For the month of December matts and I's project of building a tee shirt thrower. This month Matt and I designed the model to be built. All we need to do is build the thrower itself. The two pieces we need are a manual dog ball thrower and a PVC pipe to fit the tee shirt wrap. We didn't have any major obstacles this month. I would say on a scale of one to ten we got a 7.

Socialism communism capitalism schools

Let's start with capitalism schools they are mostly private schools and very competitive every thing would be ran by private entity's.

Socialism schools are the most diverse out of the three they are a mix of public and private

Communism schools are all public and are more based out of the strengths of a student and they are ran like a tech school.

Minimum wage increase

USAtoday said "The action at the state level comes as organized labor and liberal groups have backed a wave of strikes by fast-food workers in cities across the country to put a spotlight on hourly wages. Advocates are pressing for a national $15 hourly wage, more than twice the $7.25 federal minimum wage." And nytimes said "Increasing the minimum wage is a misguided way to address the situation. It wouldn’t target those hurt the worst: the unemployed and low-skilled, and in fact would build bigger barriers for those without a job."washingtonpost had this to say "It’s no surprise that Nader, 78 years old and still fighting the good fight, worked with a couple of dozen liberal Democrats in Congress last year on a bill to lift the minimum to $10. That would still be below 1968’s level, but it would represent a $5,000-plus raise for close to 30 million workers at or near the minimum today (it would also add $25 billion to gross domestic product, according to the Economic Policy Institute). That bill went nowhere without White House leadership; even a lunch-bucket Democrat like Tom Harkin refused to hold hearings on the idea." Washington post also said "The assumption that corporate America is united against a higher minimum wage is wrong. Carl Camden, chief executive of Kelly Services (and co-chair of the Committee for Economic Development, the business-led think tank), tells me he supports raising the minimum wage and indexing it to inflation (something Mitt Romney supported in the campaign). “We have to focus on the issue of quality of jobs,” Camden says. “We need to make it meaningful to work.”" All of these thing together tell me that the miniunm wage is fine just the way it is and to raise it would give money to undeserving people.

Trade vs. investment

A trade is a short time thing with its own advantages and disadvantages a trade is any investment under a six month period while a investment is a long term thing that is over 6 months. A trade has a catalyst which is a major event that either lowers or raises the stocks value. A short sell is where you buy stock with borrowed stock and keep the dividen. The dividends are something associated with investments where the better the company the more money you get in return.

Stock exchange day game

I came in through the back door and then my teacher opened the door and we rushed in. I ran straight to one table and swiped the table of all the candy on it to the floor and went to the next and called that mine then I went around and collected all the twizzlers and started my hoarding my booty. Soon I collected half of the classes twizzlers then me and Matt merged our candy together with twizzlers and tootsie pops. We went on with just 1500 dollars to collect more candies. We bought more tootsie pops  with that money. Class was then over me and Matt made over 8 grand and took second overall.
