When the Soviet Union collapsed due to Reagan’s brilliance they were of no consequence except for their potent nuclear arsenal. As our economy collapses we will be much the same.

After Regan the Bush’s both senior and junior ignored this defeated nation instead of bringing them into our fold. We had this ability and did not use it. Obama did much the same.

The USA has the ability to win wars, and then loose the peace. We do this often. Just look at the Middle East to confirm this.

No kidding.

“$127,000 for a family of four is just barely enough to get by”

Hmmm, let’s see if we can solve that problem:
Door #1. $50/hour minimum wage
Door #2. Move to a lower cost area
Door #3. Learn more and better skills to get ahead
Door #4. Take a second or third job

Which Door will you take?

This isn’t to raise anyone’s pay since we all know it equals out when a loaf of bread costs $20. It is about what money people have somehow managed to save. They want to devalue the dollar. Soon, your life savings will not be worth diddly.

More middle and upper class people will be moving out of California soon... and more fast food workers will be replaced by machines.

I would like to see compensation for POTUS, VPOTUS, Congresscritters and federal judges fixed at a multiple of the minimum wage. Even people who hate the minimum wage will likely agree to that.

The State and Federal taxing authorities should waive any and all taxes withholding for anyone from CA.

The UW makes those crazy projections all over the country.

According to them, only 15% of Americans can afford to live in America.

My 1st and only question to this idiot would have been,

DO YOU OWN A BUINESS OR HAVE YOU EVER OWNED A BUSINESS?
The answer would be no, I rest my case you are as dumb as you look

They will soon find out that the minimum wage is zero. It’s zero.

It’s a campaign promise. Her only goal is to get elected. She’ll say anything.

Raising the minimum wage would be easily absorbed by big corporations but smaller businesses still struggling to recover from the Covid idiocy would go under.

What I DO favor is taxing corporations for every employee that has to rely on welfare or food stamps to get by and make that tax more expensive than paying the employees. This would give the woke corporations a nice dose of socialism and recoup some of the welfare money that is paid out.

If $50/hr makes sense, why not $1,000/hr?

If logic supports any figure no figure is illogical.

Make it $20,000/hr and by this time next year we’ll all be multimillionaires.

AN EMPLOYEE that has no financial impulse control is NOT the fault of the CORPORATION.

I have done accounting for over 66 years.

NO COMPANY can control the stupid spending behavior of their employees.

IT would be challenged as a RIGHT To PRIVACY if they did.
