I think they meant get a glass of water meaning the kids are getting up to play or do something else and the water is an excuse when they get caught rummaging around for sweets in the kitchen . <| sep |> It ' s kinda funny you think it wasn ' t already going to be decisive . first election ? <| sep |> Increasing ALL wages would inflate prices . But that ' s besides the point . If they where already happy with their pay for their education level etc . they really shouldn ' t have been if it ' s near what is supposed to be the bare minimum for people to live without fear of not being able to pay their bills , but again , besides the point , then it ' s silly to not be fine with it any more because someone else got a raise . I mean Bill Gates dropped out of college , yet i don ' t think anyone would argue he should make less then someone with a PhD in IT . Of course that doesn ' t mean their wages shouldn ' t increase too since , as i recall , real wages have actually gone down in the US , but not to make them higher then of those uneducated people .
