This sadness has to stop. When does Maryland go into effect?

Yes. Goes into effect end of year. Many other states also. Maryland is probably only 1 year behind us. What is their timetable?

All of the major retailers start at $15 here in NJ. I believe they had until the end of the year to do that and decided to do it sooner. It isn’t a debate on whether is should or shouldn’t happen. It already happened. You’re fighting a battle that you already lost a year ago.

Just because you and I had to work for nothing growing up doesn’t mean that it was ever ok, and doesn’t mean people should be paying their dues like we did in 2021. It’s that kind of bitterness that hurts the country as a whole. Didn’t I just do that?

The reality is, strong states have already put the $15 in place with great results, and we’ll just drag the weak Red states along kicking and screaming like we do with everything else.

You’re desperately holding onto a dead ideology. Trickle down failed, and the country has moved on. The slaves aren’t coming back to anything that pays less than $15.

People love capitalism when they have an unfair advantage over workers. Once that shifts towards workers ever so slightly, you lose your minds and pretend there’s a labor shortage when it’s about low wages. It’s time to pay up chompers. Businesses that don’t will be gone, and they’ll be replaced with ones that do. See how that works?

But that’s not what we’re seeing. The added 300/week wasn’t the reason people aren’t returning to work. Businesses that realized this early on and raised their wages will be the ones that survive. The others will be gone in a year. The floor is now 15/hour and no one is returning to awful restaurant/retail work. Not ever.

I’ve never seen this in my lifetime. Red states took away unemployment and people still refuse to work for less than 15 an hour. Millions are quitting their crappy jobs. It’s pretty amazing.

Yes, and I mean good luck keeping the ones you have left.

Good luck keeping those employees!

You have to stop being so sad. It was a great day. Record day in the markets, infrastructure bills passing. Joe also told business owners to piss off and pay a living wage. Unemployment and inflation decreasing. The whole premise for this thread is fake. Great days ahead!

What a day for Uncle Joe. 2 infrastructure bills going to pass. Maybe Joe will fix the collapsing buildings in Florida.

That would be up to Nancy and the FBI to decide.

Rioters at the Capitol were targeting former Vice President Mike Pence, who refused to help his boss, former President Donald Trump, subvert the results of the 2020 election. In video showed Wednesday at Trump’s second impeachment trial, rioters chanted “Hang Mike Pence!” and “Bring out Pence!” as they roamed the halls searching for the former vice president and other lawmakers. Outside, the mob set up a makeshift gallows on the field near the Capitol. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-video-shows-capitol-mob-calling-for-the-death-of-the-vice-president-plaskett-says

“White rage” is very unattractive to most Americans. https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/republicans-joint-chiefs-chairman-critical-race-theory-congress/2021/06/23/84654c34-d451-11eb-9f29-e9e6c9e843c6_story.html

We should take it a step further. Every American should have to register what their religion is with the federal government. That way we can make sure “both sides” are being heard. It should be set up like the sex offender registry. I should be able to pull up my town’s data and identify my neighbor’s religion for my own safety. You’d be ok with that right?

He’s definitely not a member of a fascist cult. People should stop saying things like that. This is perfectly normal.

The Delta variant doesn’t care which way you lean politically. Please keep us updated on your recovery.

Funny how there’s so many conservative libertarians all of a sudden. I wonder why that is? We won’t ever forget what you did. Lol.

You’re a Russian. Vladimir Putin has a HIGHER approval rating than Biden among Republicans, new poll reveals. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9702447/Vladimir-Putin-HIGHER-approval-rating-Biden-Republicans-new-poll-reveals.html

That’s not fascist at all. Nope. Definitely not a fascist. Why would someone think that?

It’s called being an American. You should try it sometime.
