Note: you can transfer them to another user by copying the files into another users profile space under the WT folder. However, you probably can’t force the WT to read the bookmarks from a flash drive.

Notice the path. It is in your profile space. In other words, the WT library uses the space set aside for application settings specific to the user. You seem to have a roaming profile - are you running it at work?
In any case, you are out of luck in this regard. The WT has programmed it to specifically use this space.

Which is better minimum wage or minimum income?
by hoser inwe were having this discussion in the office the other day and we came to the conclusion minimum wage is better because it still adds to the economy vs minimum income which someone could potentially stay at home and do nothing and still get paid without producing a thing for the greater economy.. thoughts?.

I don't think people actually understand how market forces work and how trying to distort the market inevitably doesn't (but may win votes in the short term).
THIS!
Right now, in the U.S. minimum wage law, there are exemptions for the mentally handicapped. Why? Those are the most vulnerable. Shouldn’t it be in place especially for them? The reason is clear: if you require an employer to pay more than the value of the labor, the employer refrains from hiring. Just like if you set the price of an apple to $100 by law, nobody would buy apples anymore.
But a politician can go to apple growers and give them a load of crap about how much more revenue they would get if only they would vote said politician into office.
Those that vote this way can’t see just a few steps down the chain of causation.

@sparky1:
I agree with all your numbered points, except 1 & 5.
Concerning #1: If you give everyone a basic minimum income, what do you think will happen to prices?
Concerning #5: To supply any product, you have productions costs. There are entire supply chains, with consumption along the way. Production will increase in cost, what do you think will then happen to prices?

Minimum wage does serve a purpose, which is to protect the folks that are the least skilled and have the least options.
It does the exact opposite. It causes unemployment. It literally reduces options to nothing for many unskilled laborers. Well, unless you count welfare... it makes that option very compelling.
If it was not for minimum wage, employers would off jobs at $3 dollars an hour, and the folks who have no other option would have to take them.
So? If that is what your labor is worth, then you need to take it and learn more skills. Find anything you can and take it, or else you will never get anywhere.
If your labor is worth more than $3, then employers won’t be able to get away with offering that to you. Your labor is valuable and you will be bid away by competitors, and through that mechanism, your wages will rise to meet their value.

@hoser:
Exactly. In the short term, you would see these disruptions.
But they wouldn’t shut down completely. They would attract the labor by offering $20/hr. To cover that, prices will rise. That will happen throughout the supply chain. The recipient of minimum income/wage would soon find himself roughly back to where he started. In this example, $15/hr would be the new $0.

Question for the minimum income advocates: What do you think will happen to prices once a base income is established? To help: what would happen if the minimum income was set to $1,000,000 per year? Do you think a loaf a bread will stay anywhere near the same price?

Let’s pass a better minimum wage law: $1,000,000/hr for everyone! I mean, why stop at $15/hr? Why are we being so stingy? One million per hour for everyone. Poverty would be a thing of the past. Surely nothing bad can come of that!

People with mental or physical disabilities... [snip]
People with mental disabilities are exempt from minimum wage laws. You can hire a mentally retarded individual for $1 per hour if you want.
They are exempt because if you require an employer to pay $15/hr for the labor of someone who is mentally retarded, that employer will simply not hire those people. Those exemptions are put into the law for this very reason! It is much better to have these unfortunate people hired by someone, staying active in something, instead of just sitting at home.
The same applies to interns. You can hire an intern for $0/hr. Is that exploitation? Many interns would disagree.
If the value of your labor is less than the minimum wage, then you are unemployed.
