El Luchador, Offthemat, ionel. All great points and I welcome the discussion. I wish the article would address all of this also. But perhaps an article cannot deep dive the topic and must address on the surface level only. No matter how insufficient the analysis and conclusions.

I start this by saying I am generally against minimum wage laws due to their effect on the young and unskilled first time job market entrant. However, being a little bit numerate I find the anti-minimum wage people have some more work to do here. Original status vs. Wage hike: 500,000 workers x $15 per hour = $7.5 mn per hour worked. 482,000 workers x $20 per hour = $9.64 mn per hour worked. So a 3.6% drop in employment is accompanied by a 29% increase in money earned per hour. The arguments have to go much deeper into things like loss of total hours worked. Loss of buying power (i.e. quality of life) for all the buyers of the food. Increased use of welfare services, etc. And also the effects higher barriers to entry at the lowest levels of the employment pool. There are tradeoffs and they must be addressed. Is it better for 482,000 people have 33% more buying power at the cost of 18,000 being out of work. We could easily pay the 18,000 their lost wages ($270k) out of the increased taxes on the $20/hour workers. I am not arguing for ever higher and higher minimum wages. Otherwise the Buzz Lightyear Minimum Wage - To Infiniti and Beyond - would apply. I am stating that a more coherent and comprehensive counter argument than 500k workers vs 482k workers working must be presented and defended.

Last sentence is gold. "At publishing time, sources indicated that zero people so far had been arrested for the Russia collusion." https://babylonbee.com/news/investigation-concludes-trump-is-the-only-one-who-didnt-collude-with-russia That last sentence is, of course, parody because many people have been arrested and their lives ruined over this hoax. The "funny" part is they were innocent.

i am surprised anyone is surprised at this consequence. It was blindingly obvious that raising the cost of giving up a counter take down would lower the risky activity of taking shots and also over-rewarding the first take down would lead to 3rd period stallfests. Don't people who know wrestling, wrestlers, and the mind-set of those at the top of the sport make the rules and also comment on these pages?

Why did CNN use He pronouns? KBJ’s biologist had not confirmed it yet. Any responsible journalist would have thrown possibly in there also. Or the very useful “ may or may not” which covers 100%of all possibilities in every single instance.

WAIT!!??!! Did tariffs lower trade barriers? HOW is that possible? Did negotiating for fair trade and doing so from a position of strength result in FREER trade for American companies? Don't we have 51 former intelligence honchos or 17 intelligence agencies or 13 Nobel Prize economists who can tell us this is not possible or 23 others who can say Kamala Harris' plan (which she could not articulate) was better for the economy? https://jobsanger.blogspot.com/2020/09/nobel-prize-economists-say-biden-better.html https://www.binance.com/en/square/post/15302291556025 https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-tariffs-economists-academics-trade-policy-letter-2025-4 Maybe economists should write fewer letters and try to found, create, and operate more businesses to learn how the economy works.

So, did each port cost $20,000,000 dollars (20 MILLION!!) to build? Or are there several billion dollars still unspent which can be returned, recissioned, repudiated, or "unspent" by whatever means necessary? Goal: 500,000 charging ports by 2030. Interpolated number to date should have been around 175,000. Biden/Buttigieg performance 384. Yet judges are saying that this administration must continue to fund the hoax. https://freebeacon.com/latest-news/biden-admins-7-5-billion-ev-initiative-built-fewer-than-400-charging-ports-in-3-years-watchdog-says/

Brilliant. PSU Trumpian Lions. And their wrestling headgear should have Trump hair also! And rename the pinfall the Trumpfall when PSU gets one. "Barr wins by a Trump." "Mesenbrinnk gets another technical Trump".

Maybe the criminals are getting better. Or the defense lawyers. Or the jury pool in a city like NY does not care if criminals steal from them, beat them, rape them, kill them, etc. Maybe Bragg simply needs to go to trial against more straight white males from the other side of the political spectrum. We know for a fact that Bragg is creative in creating new interpretations of the law and new ways to prosecute cases in front of the right judge and jury. Heck, he does not even need to articulate a crime nor a victim to get 37 felony convictions in New York.

Trumpian Lions. Can we get a better graphic artist than I to put Trump Hair on the Lion profile?

We have found the problem. T'weep and others believe that crime is not a big deal. How much "little deal" crime becomes a burden on the citizens nearby? Every attempt to put structure on this question is highly successful (3 strikes laws, sentencing minimums, etc.) and then ended as soon as the success of it is noticeable and quantified. Note that T'weeps' team also is very specific about who is doing "no big deal" stuff. Grandmothers from Kansas taking selfies between velvet ropes must be bankrupted and jailed to the max extent of the law. Illegal aliens doing 8 more illegal things . . . Meh, not a big deal.

THE SOLUTION. The Washington Orangeskins!! I love it. The other solution is to keep the Redskins name but change the logo to a potato. With feathers, of course.

17 of the "intelligence" agencies wrote what they were told to write. Even the 14 of them that DNI Clapper declared were not part of the hoax. Are those other 14 agencies just FOMO Hoaxers? Freelance Hoaxers? Just hoaxing on rumors of made up fakes elsewhere or only when told directly to fake information? Hoax Ninjas all up in those "intelligence" agencies!!
