Joe Ferguson forever

Not sure he's deriding southern red state residents per se. At least, I'm not. But look who is paying the majority of the bills. Like I said, dividing the country up by red and blue or allocating voting power by taxes paid would be a win for progressives. All those Medicare and SSI dollars going to Florida would need to come from red states.

you mean by understanding how the balance of power is supposed to work?

You obviously aren't considering where the majority of federal tax revenue comes from. Top 10 states dominated by blue...the new south needs to catch up and pull their load. slackers... https://www.moneyrates.com/research-center/federal-income-taxes-by-state.htm

Nice... https://www.mediaite.com/news/pete-buttigieg-torches-desantis-over-anti-lgbtq-ad-strange-to-prove-your-manhood-with-video-showing-you-next-to-oiled-up-shirtless-body-builders/

No he says, "I helped win control of the Senate"...Dr Oz says "take your vitamins...here's my website..."

It's a lot less funny than Herschel Stupid running for Senate @Doc. In this case this is probably a good move for Poyer and he has some smarts it appears. He's capitalizing while he's relevant. It amazes me that you MAGA's make Biden out to be the manchurian candidate and pay no attention to the puppets the R's nominate. Yes, never was nor is there now a political agenda...

But what happens when unemployment rises? Guardrails are needed. Perhaps one of these models would work better: https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/080515/5-developed-countries-without-minimum-wages.asp

Did you ever consider that Poyer may have been tapped as a potential candidate by the MAGA's? He's almost done with his NFL career. Football players and crazy SEC coaches are part of their stable. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/mike-freeman/2023/07/01/tommy-tuberville-good-football-coach-terrible-senator/70368165007/?gnt-cfr=1

Umm, I think it's that Poyer got in bed with a scumbag to fund his politically charged tournament.

Agreed. There's 2 much big money in American politics. so carve out a lower wage for non head of households. It's not that difficult...

The words minimum and living are not mutually exclusive

Fine by me. But R’s would never agree. I assume this model starts with a living wage at the beginning

Dummy. The point is that self respect starts with being able to provide for yourself and your family. Ya think there would be less riots if more people could?

It’s about competition. I like it, especially when the rules are enforced. I guess that equates to elitism in your mind. Winning is good. Losing is bad. Elites that win without cheating represent the American dream. Poyer’s done that but it appears to have cost him his mind. I’m not in Poyers league but my mind is pretty clear.

At least Poyer has an excuse. Too many concussions

Maybe restaurant workers getting paid a living wage would be a more meaningful show of respect to them than anything else.

When were you promoted from burger flipper to senior arbiter for cultural policy? What u says goes, right?

And you think a grifter scotus judge should have more power than the president? How wonderfully unconstitutional of you.

Holder is absolutely correct: https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4078190-former-ag-eric-holder-praises-supreme-court-decisions-on-voting-districts-in-alabama-north-carolina/ “It makes me a lot more confident that we’re going to have a fair election come 2024 and that this ridiculous notion of independent state legislature theory will hopefully just go away,” Holder said. “That was a as fringe a theory as has ever been heard by the United States Supreme Court. The only disappointment I had in that decision is that it was not a nine to zero decision.”

I accept Nazis right to exist. Same as communists, same as LGBTQ or Rhino republicans. Just keep the game between the lines of the law.

This is very true. See letters to the editor and comments on news stories about this often. There's also been some consolidation of rental properties causing near monopolies and raising rents.

Never been. Always visiting family in London when we're near there. They really never want to go so we haven't. I'd like to.
