On a side note, it was your boyfriend who started this post.

Whatever you say, coach Jim Mc'G'
I'd say the response time was the (last of many) dead givaway(s) .. that and you "both" 'don't eat fast food' ... yawn.
I hate to admit it, but my odds now favor monkey-face, if anyone, as most likely to be a unique human, out of the 4 of "you"  |

OMG. Are you still stuck on the side effects of too much alcohol? Still seeing double? Still think you are Sherlock Holmes chasing down conspiracy theories? Or just like your avatar; slow & stupid.

I didn't know that clever or insightful was sending the thread on a totally unrelated tangent about pig farms and pig shit. I didn't hear you trying to keep the thread on course. Of course you did pepper the thread with your usual condescending bullshit. I'd suggest you travel a bit outside of your piss scented state, and go to visit NC for yourself. I was just there, and it was quite beautiful. I guess that one has to choose whether they'd like to smell pig shit, which I never witnessed, or human urine and feces, which I did smell recently in my trip to SF. So many choices.
But ya, Dean's response was him being his stereotypical "fucking idiot" self, which for some reason we never hear you complain about, OR his completely biased sources. So again, you really should shut the fuck up hypocrite. |

I pick on California because it's an example of where liberal leadership can take you. Adding the $20 minimum wage mandate for fast-food workers and the potential layoffs to the already high unemployment, will only amplify the crisis below.
From the LA Times:
| Quote: | California’s massive budget deficit, coupled with the state’s relatively high level of joblessness, has become a major barrier to reducing the billions of dollars of debt it has incurred to pay unemployment benefits.
The surge in unemployment brought on by the COVID pandemic pushed the state’s unemployment insurance trust into insolvency. And over the last year California’s joblessness has been on the upswing again, reaching 5.3% in February, the highest among all states. The March job numbers come out Friday.
To keep the safety-net program operating at a time when the taxes paid by employers and earmarked for jobless benefits are insufficient, Sacramento has been borrowing billions of dollars from the federal government. The debt now stands at about $21 billion and growing, an increasing burden for state deficit fighters and for the businesses that pay into the jobless insurance program.
Payroll taxes paid by employers are rising not only to cover payouts to unemployed workers but also a state surcharge and a gradually increasing federal surtax to help pay off the principal on the debt. But the tax increases are not enough to deal with the huge loan the state has incurred, or at least not in any timely manner.
California already has paid more than $650 million in interest on the loan — and another approximately $550 million is due on Sept. 30. |

Then you should have no problem when we point out examples of where conservative leadership can take you; higher murder rates, higher suicide rates, higher mortality rates, higher infant mortality rates.
You are okay with higher murder rates but not minimum wages. I am okay with higher minimum wages but not murder rates. It's called freedom of choice. I embrace it, why don't you? Or is freedom just another thing conservatives pretend to want?

| Make sure you don't consider homelessness in those states who claim to be "empathetic" as their virtue. Of course, only in a signalling type of way. |

Techno continues to lead with the story that cities are dangerous because Democrats are in charge, But no place in many red states is safe.
No insight offered—or expected. Back to fast foods. The percentage loss of jobs—elided by Techno because it doesn’t fit his rant—is under 1%.
How many fast food workers in North Carolina—or Mississippi or Alabama—need food stamps to survive? |
