    The only way a mask is a "face diaper" is if what comes out of your mouth is verbal diarrhea.


    That’s what you call getting off to a blazing crawl. Are there any Biden supporters who are with their vote happy so far?
    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.

    Nah. What will happen is that more workers will simply be thrown out of work.

    That's what price controls do. They always cause shortages. In this case, shortages of available jobs (which is already acutely low due to businesses being shut down due to Democrats shutting down 'non-essential' businesses, and due to Democrats funding and supporting Antifa and BLM, the defunding of police, and increased crime).

    Bread will be more expensive as well, since the government is printing money much faster than wealth being created, causing massive inflation.

    There’s also the hard facts

    “Only about 1,000 of these jobs are currently filled. Also most of these jobs were temporary positions slated to last 4 to 8 months while a pipeline would have been constructed. Those jobs would have been primarily in Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas.
    Finally, a State Department report on the Keystone Pipeline found the project would only create 50 permanent long lasting jobs some of which would be in Canada, not the United States.”

    Polls lol.

    Regardless, $15/hour minimum wage will lead to workers working fewer hours; even more small businesses lost, like we can stand that; and an increase in automation.

    Like so many progressive ideas it looks good on paper, but yeah.

    So you whine that there are too many unskilled workers, but then you oppose free public colleges which would turn them into skilled workers.

    So you're just jerking off on the board.

    Yeah, so?

    Let's do a little math...

    Worker works 40 hours a week for $7.25/hr = $290/week

    Same worker works 29 hours a week for $15/hr = $435/week

    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.

    ??? Biden didn't develop the vaccine nor distribute it.

    The vaccine was developed by Pfizer and is distributed through Pfizer's distribution system. It's already available at your local drugstore or clinic.

    Meaningless actually. Kinda like wearing a face diaper or being in the UN. Just do it because everyone else is. Good that the U.S. stays in arrears on those UN dues.

    Lies, lies, lies.

    Raising the MW helps small businesses because the people who work at those businesses will have more money to spend in the business.

    Paying your workers enough for them to afford the product they make is good economics and perpetuates consumer demand.


    Like so many progressive ideas it looks good on paper, but yeah.
    You have no fucking clue what you're talking about.
