    Canada’s covid-19 second wave is a humbling moment after a summer of bragging

    I just read some of this with a different browser... The lefty trolls from Canada are really tweaked. In case any good Canadians are reading this... (which is most of you in my experience) I am pretty sure this thread was created just to give a few of our alien lefty trolls from Canada a taste...

    No-Show Joe: White House bizarrely cuts feed to stop Biden taking questions

    another DNC troll... with the old change the subject post. I note there are a few of you here who do that routinely. It must be a pretty easy way to get your 15 cents post.

    A funny thing happens at $15 per hour...

    another flawed assumption by piezoe... you have been full of them the last few years... I don't get ticked by intelligent posts.... or even opinion... I get ticked by people who make non responsive or deceptive posts.

    A funny thing happens at $15 per hour...

    Because given our current safety nets and benefit cliffs.... the poverty line is a very subjective concept... But, again... I was not taking a stand on whether increasing the minumum wage is a good thing or a bad thing. I just think its fucking ridiculous to have a govt mandating an increase...

    A funny thing happens at $15 per hour...

    As if that info was not in the report...fuck off with your usual sophistry and use your brain. Obviously some academics think raising minimum wage creates jobs....others and the CBO would not be choosing those academic's models.

    Not content to merely kill his residents with no power in the cold, Texas Governor ups the ante

    What the Biden administration is doing is sickening... (sadly its also a pun.)

    A funny thing happens at $15 per hour...

    And... if you were really concerned about inequality we would cease taxing anyone but the top .2 percent. The idea of income taxes on the middle class and lower upper class to combat inequality is insane. And if you were really concerned about jobs... our politicians would cease importing...

    I did not comment about consumer spending or govt revenues... What I said was... . ECONOMY Raising minimum wage to $15 would cost 1.4 million jobs, CBO says https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/08/raising-minimum-wage-to-15-would-cost-1point4-million-jobs-cbo-says.html

    Re-opening Schools in the era of COVID

    At this late stage of the year, if a child has not had in person school or a hybrid... what is the point? A part time, hybrid model which is suggested (with no actual date being set yet) ... will likely be more disruptive than useful for actual learning. In my opinion with respect to...

    A funny thing happens at $15 per hour...

    How about we cease importing a million potential workers a year... and let our markets function properly. Over and over history has shown us command economies have failed with misery for all but the cronies. Let's fix our country by starting with a govt which creates laws which give our...

    A funny thing happens at $15 per hour...

    note... I have not taken a position with respect to min wage. I am just countering the bullshit I see from lefties implying that it does not cause job loss and business loss. In a sense I am simply agreeing with my day 1 - econ 101 class a. Marginal this equals marginal that. b. There is no...

    Not content to merely kill his residents with no power in the cold, Texas Governor ups the ante

    I don' understand why people think that anyone can show that masks may have worked. 1. We have data with which shows masks did not protect those who wore them vs those who did not.. 2. With respect to protecting others... We just don't have the ability to separate out... what a mask...

    We have a new war! Lockheed, Boeing and Northrop rejoice...

    I can see why so many consider you a troll. CA is not Cherry picked. Its the big blue state. I was not a big fan of Trump other than his court picks. I did not vote from him in the primary. Rand Paul is the most closely aligned with what I think is important.

    A funny thing happens at $15 per hour...

    I obviously mentioned where I had my info from... so no one would think I was claiming any sort or expertise... But the funny thing is... he is better authority than you, (when you are commenting on economics or law.) While he is has not gone to culinary school or restaurant management school...

    A funny thing happens at $15 per hour...

    This is a real life understanding of economics. Its nice when the left tells the truth instead shilling the shibboleths. I have had clients watch their avocado business get destroyed and shift to Mexico as their water costs go up. At the margin an increase in costs drives business elsewhere...

    A funny thing happens at $15 per hour...

    When they jacked minimum wage here... many of the restaurants started taking parts of the tips to cover the increased wage. My son told me many of his friends said they were netting less after the increase... then Covid hit...

    DeSantis for the win

    Texas and Florida are illustrating what stupid selfish sons of bitches the democrats in Control of California are. Now... with just a few weeks of school left some of the San Diego area public high schools are circulating emails about re opening for some in person classes. Such political b.s...

    We have a new war! Lockheed, Boeing and Northrop rejoice...

    You make whatever points you wish. If you wish to address whether CA is still a net giver you may. I just checked... and the most recent articles mention 4 blue states as net givers... and some red states... but not CA. I saw the SF chronicle state last spring that CA is no longer a net...
