There are 5 companies who are notorious for paying their workers over minimum wage and they are Costco, Shake Shack, Ben & Jerry's, Zappos, and QuikTrip.

4.7.15 Bellringer

I think that the three women that were on the list that were selected were good, but I don't think that Wilma Mankiller was a good choice because I haven't even heard of her before.

I think a way to fix it might be to make the European flight regulations more like Americans which is to not allow the pilots to leave the cockpit until the plane is safely landed.

I disagree with the schools decision on punishing the boy for the haircut. They shouldn't be able to restrict something like a haircut one someone.

An easy way to make a healthier living style would be to make things that are good for you more accessible and things that are bad for your heath less accessible. If we cut out all the fast food restaurants and made healthy food like fruits and vegetables cheaper, more people would eat them. Another fix is to try and encourage people to cut back on tobacco use. If we had less of that, more people would have a better lifestyle.

I think that it is a goo idea to raise the age on allowing people to buy tobacco, but I feel that the people who really wanted to smoke would still smoke.

3.16.15 Bellringer

1. How social media is affecting the news?
2. I believe a good option is switching it to online only, because that is where most people in my generation access it.
3. I believe that is will allow people who regularly don't watch the news to see what is happening and it will allow for more discussion on those topics because of the more interest in it.

3.13.15 Bellringer

1. The bill the senate passed that lets people over 18 carry a weapon without a permit
2. That criminals already have weapons and it allows good people to be able to protect themselves.
3. That people with carry the weapon and not have any training on how to use it.
4. I feel that this is a bad idea, if someone really wanted to carry a gun, they should get a permit. This allows people to walk around, untrained, with a gun. It creates a bigger problem than it does solving one.

1. How Obama's new bill will help students with their student loan costs.
2. This is significant to me because I will be having student loans of my own in the next couple of years.
3. I think that this is a good idea and is a big step toward making college more accessible to average people.

3.10.15 Bellringer

1. This article is stating that recreational pot is harmful to young adults.
2. No, it doesn't change my opinion.
3. It doesn't change it doesn't change it because there are still many good things like pain relief that you can achieve with this.

3.3.15 Bellringer

1. Allowing some organizations to dismiss the ban on smoking in buildings.
2. That it will decrease business in these places.
3. They said that they think it is going against what they are trying to promote, which is health.
4. I think that smoking should be allowed in these places, if someone is against smoking then they don't have to go to that establishment.

3.2.15 Bellringer

1. Recalling the 'Common Core Standards' bill.
2. There will be no standard set for the state.
3. I would keep the 'Common Core Standards' bill or just update it because all the schools in the state already practice this and without anything in place, you can't assure that students are being taught what is necessary for their education.

2.25.15 Bellringer

1. They are discussing the "No Child Left Behind" bill.
2. I don't like the "No Child Left Behind", because it allows kids to pass without getting the grades.
3. It is related because it affects the whole public.
