Secession is the only answer. Buy what’s left of the Republic a few hundred years before we can’t keep that either

Liberals went from hating big corporations to blowing them and bowing down to them in just a few years


The Liberal leaders have never been against being in bed with big corporations. Most large corporations have been run by democrats for a long time. The rank and file liberal, however, has always, and still believes that the Democrats are for the poor and they’re too dumb to ignore what they say and look what they do. A series of feelgoodisms that do not help the poor at all, and fact, generally end up hurting them.

I own a couple sandwich franchises. If I had to double my labor cost I would be breaking even/losing money. The only way I survive is to instantly raise the price of my product by $2.00 a sub.

If you're too lazy to type "you", you shouldn't have a Twitter account.

SOME companies need to be force to pay at least 15$ hour minimum wage ... not EVERY company of course... I work in the construction business... some of these assholes paying 10$ a hour to people doing important shite.. that you might not deem important... but I’ve seen million dollar homes and commercial businesses built like shite because the employer won’t invest in good employees..,

What is stopping those $10 per hr employees from finding the same job with another company for $15 or more? If they are worth more, shouldn't they just be able to get paid more somewhere else?


They cant because they are only worth $10 per hr. This is why minimum wage is stupid and harmful. People are paid what they are worth.

No they usually do find something else that pays more... which in turn makes the company hire another guy with less experience for 10$ to work on million dollar projects... the customer is basically getting fricked over in this equation... because said construction companies are putting a less skilled worker on the job... instead of investing in the employee ... I’m only talking about the construction business here...

The only conclusion is the public education system is a massive failure.

Raising it $2 won't cut it, you would be basically subsidizing those businesses with income generated in your other ventures or career.

In San Diego some restaurants put a minimum wage tax on your check. There the inflation is actually broken out.

Too much thinking required to post any logical arguments for minimum wage.

It's all about "feelings".

"We need to pay a living wage" just sounds nice.

This country is in trouble and this is an example of one reason why.

People who have no idea how a business is started or run are voting for Marxists who also have no idea how a business is started or run, and will enact legislation that will kill businesses and employment opportunities.

Walmart was a small startup once upon a time. So was Coca Cola, and McDonalds. How would an ultra high wage law have affected them?

The Q theory has way more than 200k followers.

Its central tenet is that a cabal of pedophiles who may be controlled by lizard people are actually running the world, usually through kidnapping nonmembers and forcing them to rape children on tape for extortion.

You call me when the left secures a monopoly on batshit crazy.

In the meantime, y’all are both fricked in the head.
