Worth repeating;
Dashy;"Once again you missed the mark entirely of what’s going on here. It’s become the norm because of dumb ass democratic policies you know like paying people to stay at home and get paid more?
If you raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour which you’re going to see is less people hired and more kiosks. These are steppingstone jobs and not meant to be career jobs. I have no idea what a quarter pounder cost these days at McDonald’s but for arguments sake let’s say it cost four dollars. If they’re paying somebody $7.50 an hour or whatever and they are forced to pay an employee $15 an hour,Do you think the quarter pounder is still going to be sold at the same price? You’re going to be hurting more people mainly the customers that buy their products because they will have to pay much more.
Simple economics that Democrats don’t understand because they can’t run anything. When they do run some thing they run it straight into the ground. You know basically what’s happening today with runaway inflation, racism, the unsecured border that Biden is in charge of, well actually supposed to be Harris but she’s a joke because she doesn’t know where the real problem with the border is.
I wish she could go back and have the same education I got back in the 60s and 70s before critical race theory and all the bullshit started coming into place you could maybe understand things.
Or maybe you are my age at 61 but you stick your head in the sand and pretend like everything is OK."

Why do you believe that the Marxists who control the Democrat party want "valid, eligible to vote" people when such people would probably vote For the Conservative party.

I don't think they care about either, SWMBO, I think they care about only "likely to vote D" voters.

The vital goal of education in any year is to promote critical thinking in students. I guess you missed that point when you were in school back in the 60s and 70s. Current minimum wage of $7.25/hr. has not been increased since year 2009. Between then and now prices of products and services have steadily increased over the years. President Biden argues that higher earnings would improve the overall standard of living for minimum wage workers by providing them with a more appropriate income level to handle the cost of living increases. Republicans disagree. The expressed goal of the Republican party is to be "100 percent" focused on blocking the Biden Administration.

Well once again you misconstrue things. I don’t believe Republicans are against raising the minimum wage but you don’t double it all at once! That’s where Democrats just don’t have business sense and can’t run anything except into the ground.

Yes we have to be focused on blocking Biden 100% because it’s a radical agenda that we can’t afford. If he actually put forth a plan that helped Americans it would be a different story. Biden is not in charge anyway he’s just the feckless old weakling mouthpiece who resides in the Oval Office while Obummer runs things in his basement👎🏻🤮

Well, Dashy, the express goal of Joe Biden has been to negate everything Trump did, like low unemployment, secure border, low inflation, turning the screws on countries like Iran, keeping Putin subdued, keeping China subdued, yada, yada. You know what? He's done a super job of it too. Of course, minimum wage, as any economist worth his salt will tell you, is just the ticket to hurt the lower and middle class. Each time it is raised, it puts more lower class workers out of a job by, among other things, bringing in more robots and automation. The best thing that could be done for our economy and jobs would be to remove permanently the minimum wage. Let's get these people working! It might also help with the crime problem. The Dems will never face the real problem. Let's face it, Joe has no clue what to do and half of what he wants to do is bad for America--maybe all he does is bad.

DASHY

If former president, twice impeached, dopey Donald Trump was doing a "super" job, he would still be in office. The minimum wage has not been raised since year 2009. Current President Joe Biden thinks raising the minimum wage will be good for America. The best thing the voters did for our economy and jobs was to permanently remove Donald Trump from the office of President.

Still hanging onto the Minimum Wage huh, Dashy. Trump has forgotten more than Slo Joe ever knew. If Slo Joe says the minimum wage is good for America, then the best thing you can do is to run the other way. Fast! Slo Joe has shown us in a measly one year what not to do, and you worship the guy. I would be ashamed to admit that I supported Biden if I were you. But then I'm not you.

Well as usual you’re completely wrong once again – it’s too easy. Look at the current economy numbers and a paint a different picture. We wouldn’t be in this mess right now we have Trump as president

DASHY

Most posters on OPP would agree with you. President Joe Biden must feel like the guy at the circus who follows the giant elephant with a bucket and shovel to clean up all the messes he left behind. Trump leaves behind his chaos, corruption, racism, lies, xenophobia, misogyny, narcissism, autocracy and conspiracy theories. President Biden brings all the tools he needs to complete the job.

DASHY

Trump tried and failed and left a big mess behind.

AmericanEagle Loc: Indiana

Are you talking about his diaper? Tell me what job has he completed? The world is burning and he’s fanning the flames.

Please supply your list of things Biden has done and completed.

Even Bill Maher gets it now.Modern day Dumbocrats lost corrupt cause. Only way they can win is to subvert voters laws, end the filibuster like they are trying to do now. Get ready for the silent majority to rise up if that happens. Most corrupt party in history

DASHY

Here is a list of 100 of Joe's accomplishments. https://capaction.medium.com/what-has-joe-done-for-me-lately-biden-administration-accomplishments-98c71f9ce2d8

Maybe you could enlighten us as to the tools Biden is using - or will use - to clean up the mess. Come to think of it, maybe you could explain what mess he has to clean up. Most thinking people in the U.S. seem to be under the illusion that we are in a mess since Jan 20. Why don't you expound on what mess he has cleaned up. Don't forget to tell us why the border isn't a mess. Maybe it's Trump's fault. OK. How so? Have fun!
