To compete with the government freebies (tax money supported) some (many) corporations are now offering higher wages to entice the lazy to come back to work (higher wages that offer the worker a chance to experience the mere ability to live from paycheck to paycheck without having to juggle debt so much). Unfortunately even more small business may fail because they can’t (or won't) compete with a corporations ability to pay higher wages.

No more mom and pop stores it looks to me like one big corporate take over. Like the shade tree mechanic their days are numbered (typically, a shade tree mechanic isn't a career).

That was the weirdest advocation of a living wage I've read to date. But ...

So it is Trump's fault?
Because he listened to Fauci.
And Fauci is of course a communist trying to undermine the ECONOMY
I am slowly getting an idea how some Trumpers tick.
No, i really have no idea

Only thing is Im not for government controlling prices and wages. I am pro union and I wish people would form one where they can, its not against the law. Heck, I mention it at work now. But its weird when I ask, they’re ticked off with the hours and wages, really upset with how hard it is too make ends meet and constantly threatening to find another job that pays better. But then there they are the next day doing nothing but complaining again. If you ask me this is the perfect time to stir the pot and make demands of our corporate overlords.

Oh well,

For all the Bidenettes and all you Cuomo brothers from other mother’s.



Guy gets away with killing 10,000 elderly in nursing homes and he gets to keep his job. But grope some women and has to exit stage left the next day. Says a lot about society I guess.

[Arlo]

Not the best bait ... but keep chucking it out there.

[Rockstar]

Andrew Cuomo resigns: He personifies abuse of power at the expense of the vulnerable.

The unborn, the elderly and women - depend on the powerful to use their strength to protect. Cuomo failed them all.

The hero of the Democrats and the liberal media actively opposed the advice of countless health experts and returned the covid positive elderly under his watch back to their nursing homes and to their and fellow residents’ certain deaths.

He then evaded efforts to accurately count the death toll in New York’s nursing homes. He instructed his staff to alter the numbers in the mandated reports that documented what exactly happened that turned the homes for New York most vulnerable population into COVID death factories.

But whats with this hey. With help from his brother at CNN he did get a 4 million dollar book deal out of it.

All those caring people who were supposed to care about people and care about caring of those who cared where did they go?

[Arlo]

Sorry, with it being obvious regarding those you admire, politically, morally and intellectually, I'd say you like to make divisive noise and that you'd rather scream than celebrate.

Celebrate, huh? Celebrate Coumo and what he has done and then tried to cover it up? Or should we celebrate the fact how he got a 4 million dollar book deal out of it. I guess I could celebrate if I was drinking whatever it is you are.

What woke political catchphrase playbook are you using which told you ‘celebrate’ would be a good choice of words? Maybe it’s just me, but it just doesn’t seem a word anyone would voluntarily to use after such a crime has been exposed.

[Arlo]

^Case in point.

[Rockstar]

Really that’s it? “case in point” then run off? If someone uses his god given right not to subject himself to an unknown vaccine you chastise him for not caring for others. But if someone calls out your hero who disregarded his science advisors ends up killing thousands of senior citizens then gun-decks the logbooks, he rapes women, and gets a 4 million dollar book deal out of it. The best you can come up with is how we should not be divisive and celebrate?

What Would Tribesman Do? This


Btw, anyone know if Tribesmen is still alive?

Oh well,

The issue with unions is that they're now more about political action committees than about looking out for their rank-and-file. That, and union leadership and management to often go along to get along or union leadership is corrupt and/or incompetent.

I’m happy for you now go have fun celebrating like good little party propagandist.

[Buddahaid]

Meanwhile, back at the secret compound in Montana, the miraculous plan to overturn the 2020 presidential election and 'reinstate" the turd that never was in "state" remains silent. Where is this unconstitutional action to preserve the constitution?

I understand your need to project as much as your need to exaggerate. I'm a cold war U.S. vet but someone much like you (on a different game forum)
felt the need to call me a communist simply because I didn't think he deserved to be taken seriously.
