So much anger from the righties tonight. So much denial and refusal to discuss the issues that about to smack them right between the eyes. Denial is a wonderful thing to some I guess. FYI, your CONSTANT whining and whining about Biden are pretty tiresome as well, too bad there's no emoji for that. |

FYI: I wasn't the least bit surprised that you couldn't resist jumping on my "Bidenomics" reply. It worked like a charm! |

1. They were getting paid not to work 2. They demand to work from home 3. They demand a $15/hour, or more, minimum wage. No wonder prices are up. 4. Working 40 hours a week is hard 5. Bosses are mean because they actually expect results I could go on, but you get it. |

If minimum wage is too low, you have tons of people supplementing with welfare anyway so their effective earnings might as well be the same as a higher minimum wage.
Raise the minimum wage and take away the excuse from all the unskilled labor that claims they don't make a livable wage, they'll probably still mostly end up broke due to debt as they will always live beyond their means regardless of what they earn. What I'm not seeing is a proportionate boost in pay for higher paying jobs. If I previously earned 6 times as much as a McDonald's worker, then they boost minimum wage so that I'm only earning 3 times as much as that same McDs worker, it's a kick in the nuts for me because that plays out as a pay cut based on cost of goods. |

Regarding inflation, I may have missed it but I don't think anyone mentioned that some of the inflation we have seen is due to massive government spending during the Trump administration.
Before all the Trumpsters call me names or post laughing emojis, notice I said some of the inflation. |

I say get rid of the minimum wage completely. If two entities (worker and employer) come to an agreement on an amount of pay for work completed, why should the govt be involved in that discussion? Let's be honest, some people currently making $15/hour don't deserve that much. We need more personal responsibility and less cradle to grave support from the government.

Of course this was before such menial, unskilled jobs got you shot at, beat down, hauled through a drive up window or chairs thrown at you because you didn't give somebody enough dipping sauce. And we are ALREADY paying for entitlements out of our pockets. |
