Winners only.

If this was directed to me, Start with the 1.9 TRillion stimulus package (with a TR in front), Platform promises for 15.00 an hour min. wage, cancelling student loans, and free college for families under $125,000 income, open borders, and killing our countries energy independence (oil pipeline) for climate change (while promoting Russia’s pipeline). Plenty more, but I’m sure you already knew that.

It wasn’t, but you’re right. First off, the stimulus is to help corporations, if it has an added side benefit of helping a few poor voters, hooray. The minimum wage makes no difference in a monopolized economy where corporations control all prices and wages anyway. The border I already addressed on the last page, energy independence......we may have a debate on this one, climate change has been hijacked by corporate carbon credit peddlers who care nothing for the actual planet. Democrats are not liberal on any of these policies. They just steal the votes of liberals (useful idiots) who think they voted for a liberal.

At 15.00 small business will suffer. I feel for the mom and pop shops. I agree with a lot of your commentary. If only the stimulus could get to the sick and unemployed/or under employed. The pork is crazy!

I own a cleaning business, so I know. It’s not the minimum wage that kills me so much, because I can just raise my prices. it’s the taxes and insurance regulations in my industry. I just received a bill from unemployment insurance that is double what it was last quarter. Hard to pay my employees enough when I have to pay for every other company’s unemployed people who are sitting at home.

I hear that! Taxes, and Walmart will always undercut us.

Taxes for Walmart doesn’t even mean anything any more. They have virtually no competition in their industry. For raising taxes to work as a strategy in a free market, there has to be many companies competing in the same industry who have to raise their prices at the same level as Walmart to keep profitable and pay their employees the same wage. If there was a dozen smaller competing company who were willing to only make 1 billion dollars for selling the same amount of products that Walmart sells and makes a profit of 2 billion for, the economy would work the way it should. That’s been destroyed already.

I was just arguing with another liberal on Facebook about a specific issue that I’m a liberal on. The border. I live on it. . My vision of an open border is everyone comes through and receives legal documentation to actually live life in our country. What’s happening is that they are just flooding people through down here and releasing them into our communities without legal standing to get a job, own a home, buy a car, carry legal insurance, etc. etc., but they sure will let them vote. What a shitheaded way to use these immigrants. They came here for a better life, not to be used as political pawns and useful idiots. That’s not liberal. That’s not humane. I’m not on board with this plan.

If that’s the case, the whole world should be a free for all. There shouldn’t be any nations with borders. It’s gotta be a two way street. Is there any nation in the world that lets masses of people come over the border?

The livable wage (7.25) was all I needed to read.

?. Winners only bro. You're in the wrong thread.

If giving people a liveable wage makes them suffer then so be it.

People really need to understand what a “useful idiot” is, and the books that our politicians get their ideas from. It’s not fake news to read the same books they read and find out what they believe. Animal spirits is a book about how to basically control the economy through human emotion. That’s a super basic explanation, but social media gives this strategy a new level of significance since the book has been written. It’s scary how smart these people are, and how long the strategy they’re partaking in has been in motion for. Working for the Obama campaign really clarified some things for me. Things aren’t what they seem folks,

The people who run the world are basically the top psychiatrists, but it’s more like a cult or dark religion than medical. People who hide knowledge, they hide it so others are ignorant and ripe for the pickings.

The health of the oceans is the real climate crisis. The atmosphere is largely replenished by the oceans. If the oceans have no life, nothing does. Water is where everything is born.

Zero carbon = zero you, basically

The people who are against increasing minimum wage are basically the same as people who owned slaves and communist sweat shops. Facts.

The people who are for minimum wage increase think that we should all be employees working for a made up wage for a billionaire corporation. Facts.
