So that is why Biden did vaccine mandates, taking away peoples medical rights? Democrats are full of crap as well, medical freedoms my ass. How about thinking ahead about how a child is made if you don't want a baby. Is it really that hard?

Biden never did "vaccine mandates." There are still millions of people running around unvaccinated that are breaking absolutely zero laws. I assume you're talking about the requirement for federal employees to get vaccinated which was a private matter between an employer and employees. (Which strangely Republicans love until it's a matter that affects them...) Every single employee was still free to remain unvaccinated again, without breaking any laws whatsoever, they just weren't free to remain in their job.

Biden tasks OSHA with vaccine mandate

But President Joe Biden this month threw the tiny Labor Department agency into the raging national debate over federal COVID-19 vaccine mandates. The president directed OSHA to write a rule requiring employers with at least 100 workers to force employees to get vaccinated or produce weekly test results showing they are virus free.

People too stupid to understand that rising minimum wage causes the prices of everything to go up are the only ones asking for it.

Example 1: Fast food worker, makes $10 an hour burger is at $5. Wage is now $15 and burger becomes $8. You could have had two burgers in 1 hour of work but now you can't.

Example 2: AC business' charges $100 per service call. The secretary was making $13 but will now make $15. AC business now will charge $130 per service call.

Whenever minimum wage increases the prices of goods increase. You will never catch up and then other people near closer to minimum wage gap get hurt the worst.

First of all, in your own example the fast food worker experienced a net benefit of $3. Your second example makes absolutely zero sense unless the AC business employs only one AC tech and their average service call lasts 15 hours.

Second, your examples are ludicrously, absurdly wrong. Actual studies by economists have shown that on average, raising the minimum wage to $15 would increase fast food prices by only 4.3%. So if your example was based anywhere near reality, that $5 burger would increase to a whopping price of...$5.22. The horror!

Why do you need to work a minimum wage job to begin with? Most of these were for people going to college or high school students. If you want a degree get something that will make money such as engineering. An underwater basket weaving degree will only leave you with student loans you can't pay back. If you don't want to go to college pick up a trade like working on A/C units or similar. Many make more than a college student once trained and don't have any student loan debt.

Why do you need to work a minimum wage job to begin with? Nobody WANTS to work a minimum wage job, but somebody has to. There simply aren't enough engineer or plumber or business executive jobs for everyone to have one, and even if there were, who would flip the burgers?

This is just yet another example of uninformed right wing "feelings over facts" thinking.

The State of Skilled Trades in the U.S.
“We have 7.3 million open jobs right now, most of which don’t require a four-year degree,” Rowe said. “They require training, they require skill and they require a willingness to master a trade that’s in demand.”

The challenge with filling those open jobs, Rowe says, is the mindset that promotes college education over apprenticeships and training. In doing so, he says, we create a list of “alternative jobs” that leads generations of high schoolers to question why they’d ever want to become, among other things, a plumber, welder, pipe fitter, steamfitter or electrician.

I am not encouraging a 17/hr wage for McDonalds but those wages should somewhat keep up with the standard of living. I made 4.25/hr back in 94 and MW is now 7.25/hr. In 30 years it's gone up $3? That's ridiculous.

I don't care about identity politics or woke social issues, I care about economic issues and the environment.

When Democrats win, they cave to Republicans and give them 90% of what they want. We move nine steps to the far right.
When establishment Republicans win, they get 100% of what they want. We move ten steps to the far right.
When Trump wins, there's just chaos. We probably move as far to the right as we would with anyone else in office, but more in a chaotic and absurd way which is at least amusing for the rest of the world. Plus, Trump's redeeming qualities is that he's so stupid and lazy (all he likes to do is whine on Truth Social, golf, and watch Fox News or Newsmax or whatever) that he couldn't even do as much harm as someone like DeSantis could do, because his brain isn't in it, and his administration just gets too mired into scandals.

Face it, the American Empire is collapsing, and I'd rather have it end in farce than tragedy.

Republicans aren't fighting for the middle class. They don't even pretend to.

Both parties don't give a crap about anyone but themselves, they use the people to sway an opnion and then will drop them in a heartbeat if the tide changes.

I can at least say Dems are not trying to take away medical rights to my own body or dictate what books I can read or classes I can take in college. I also know that Dems are also leading the charge to raise minimum wage which helps low and middle class workers.

So that is why Biden did vaccine mandates, taking away peoples medical rights? Democrats are full of crap as well, medical freedoms my ass. How about thinking ahead about how a child is made if you don't want a baby. Is it really that hard?

You lost me when you have at a mandatory vaccine during a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. You are a moron. Too bad you didn't die of covid.

Democrats could codify abortion access. Why don't they? Have they even tried?

The House passed a bill codifying Roe. Please tell us which ten Republican Senators would have voted for it?

Why won’t Democrats eliminate the filibuster so this wouldn’t be an issue?

Because Manchin and Sinema would lose any leverage they currently have.

And because if they eliminate the filibuster to codify Roe, the Republicans can flip it the other way, as soon as they get total control.

But the Republicans... but Manchin, but Sinema, but the parliamentarian, but but but... all the Democrats have are weakness and excuses.

The Democrats are just an inverse of Republicans. Democrats can't govern and can't legislate and all they do is make excuses. Republicans, they steamroll everything and act shamelessly and with impunity. and guess what, they have no consequences, because the Democrats are too weak to make them face any consequences.

If the tables were turned, could you IMAGINE the Democrats playing as much hardball as the Republicans just did on the debt ceiling?
