And then there's Robin and golf,Wife and I watch a lot of British murder mysteries and have to agree: The Scots are especially hard for us to understand. We've been known to rewind 10 times when a Scot says something that seems important to the plot.
However, the Kiwis aren't far behind — especially on the North Island.
Of course you do, you got yours and that's all that matters in your bubble.For clarity, I disagree with Federal Minimum Wage laws
You will never see me complain about higher prices.until you phony shitz get higher prices and blame the wrong fellas. What spoiled little brats of crackers we've nurtured. PLONK.
Minimum wage is basically forcing someone to pay more than the value an employee. I suppose most like the idea of replacing people with automation.Of course you do, you got yours and that's all that matters in your bubble.
Then you aren't paying attention. Even Forbes came out with an article a few years back saying the wealthiest needed to chip in more, this was during the eat the rich days. They were warning about pitchforks and such if the wealthiest continued to exploit the lower classes. Even $15 an hour is not enough to support a single person, let alone a single mom or divorced or widowed dad. Nor adjusted for inflation is it near the over $20 an hour people were paid in the 60's at like a$1.50 an hour. Roamers, I don't expect to change your mind, but some reading you might want to check out: Howard Zinn: A people's history of America. They also made into a movie if reading isn't your thing. No man is an island unto himself and no one is self made. Everyone who succeeds does so with help. The richest amongst got there by being in the right place at the right time and exploiting others. Nor can you maintain wealth without exploiting others. I'm a capitalist just like you. The difference, I understand we are all in the same boat, drinking the same recycled water, breathing the same polluted air. It takes only one freak incident to turn a person's world upside down and none of us are immune from accident and catastrophe. I don't care how I'm remembered, I just care that we take care of each other instead of attacking each other. It's better for business and better for the soul than worshiping the profit motive and exploiting others.Minimum wage is basically forcing someone to pay more than the value an employee.

Evidently minimum wage is $7.25. I have never seen anyone paid that little for even menial jobs since my kids and grandkids have been working.
Are you talking ag workers? California illegals?they would pay less then that around here if they could get by with it.
Are things bad in France again?he predicts another French revolution.

We live in a messed up world. I can't blame service workers for not wanting those jobs, given how horribly some customers treat them. I sure as heck wouldn't do those jobs for the money they are paying.
For that matter, there are lots of high skill and formerly high status jobs where folks are quitting in droves, largely because they are treated so poorly. You just can't treat teachers or nurses like garbage and expect them to want to do their jobs.
As I write this, I recently discovered that someone from Texas has been calling local schools and making threats. These threats mostly have to do with trans people. Two things: Texas is over 1500 miles away from where I live and as far as anybody knows, there are no trans kids in local schools. So the school districts are left with awful choices: do nothing and end up holding the bag when/if something horrible happens, or lock the schools down and look like you are overreacting. I'm glad I don't have their jobs.
There have been repeated calls and my understanding is that the calls don't rise to the level of something that is illegal. These calls are being made from a business in Round Rock, Texas.hopefully the superintendent calls both DHS and FBI, and hopefully those morons make at least one more call while those agencies are still able to do something.

Apparently it is only actionable if it names specific persons.that’s crazy - threatening students, or a school, across state lines no less isn’t illegal?

Been following, but couldn't figure it out; think I got it now.Apparently it is only actionable if it names specific persons.
The person making the calls doesn't smell right.If yes, something doesn’t smell right.
Or the story is a story. Big bad red staters picking on blue state tranny.The person making the calls doesn't smell right
