    The purpose of the Keystone pipeline is to safely move oil from the midwest to the refineries in the Gulf, such as those in the State of Texas, and to provide a market for Canadian and midwest oil by transporting it to shipping ports in Texas.

    Now it's back to trains and trucks. An oil train just exploded recently, one that would not have to been there had the pipeline been in place.

    Oh, I am 100% satisfied and happy with my vote because I knew that if Trump won, another 500,000 people would have died from COVID.
    Covid19 has killed no one. This virus doesn't kill in and of itself. Argument from randU fallacy. Random numbers are not data.

    Like so many progressive ideas it looks good on paper, but yeah.
    Automation will happen anyway, regardless of the wage, but I won’t support it. It’s why I don’t use self serve registers.

    Bread will be more expensive as well, since the government is printing money much faster than wealth being created, causing massive inflation.
    If you are correct that is an even worse scenario than the one I laid out in my post. I had everybody staying in neutral at least . You have us going in reverse. Hope not but you are probably right...

    Free public colleges are not free. Someone has to pay for them. That's higher taxes, dude.
    They won't magickally create skilled workers either.

    PLUS, the employer can now create ANOTHER JOB to fill the remaining 11 hours of work you cut from the worker.

    And those 11 hours @ $15/hr = $165/week, more than half the original wage while working 1/4 as many hours.

    Using math to prove you're a fucking idiot.
    No. Same worker is now UNEMPLOYED. He makes ZERO dollars per hour.

    may I present the honourable Sleepy Joe the child stroker who does not know what day it is. Who supports the BLM and all their violent crimes - we give you our great leader and we are so proud of him. ................... PS: We landed a man on the Moon ya know??

    LIFE IS SHORT - SMILE WHILE YOU STILL HAVE TEETH.

    we must all learn to hear what we do not like - the questions is not, "is it pleasant?" but, "is it true?"

    The keystone pipeline does not increase the cost of energy. It also provided many jobs, until Biden killed it.

    So you are taking your business elsewhere? You wish for businesses that use self serve registers to go out of business and put MORE people out of work???? Gotit.
