You are the one insisting that government is forcing you to abort and take a diq up your ass, when all that government is creating is an enabling environment for those who wish to abort or put a diq up their own ass. But I guess you will insist on not seeing the difference.
You still get me wrong.
Govt should clear away from civil right liberties that we hold dear. What is govt doing forcing me to accept ideals I dont hold.
Govt out of our lives, we can go shoot racoons and deers without some power brokers telling us we need to in the forest.

Paying tax is a must because government enforces it's payment, but no government is forcing you to abort or bend over and take a diq up the ass basilico.

Or am I just ignorant of the fact that they are forcing you to meticulously prepare to allow a diq to invade your ass and abort your pregnancy?

Do tell, because I must insist on defending you before they come for my ass too!
Looks like you never understood me. I meant Govt has a role in regulating our lives, but should limit its role as much as possible without forcing anyone to accept what the welders of power think whats right for my mind.
Just that.
Let govt create an enabling environment for me but not force me to accept what some crazies in govt determine how I should have a world view

Government can not just issue guidelines. Its like asking government to issue guidelines for paying tax or do not steal or shoot someone with no way of enforcing the line.

People like trump will come along and steal and not pay tax and shoot people on New York streets and get away with it. I don't want that, thank you very much.

But see irony and your hypocrisy. You say "govt should stop poking its nose into people's lives", but you want government to poke your nose in my gay bedroom and the inside of my womb!
I meant common sense guidelines. Paying tax is a must.
Govt should protect life too, not force me to pay for those who dont want to know they can get pregnant in only 5 days a month and can take measures to prevent it.
Gays can do their thing but should not force me to accept their beliefs that they was born dat way.I also have a mind too and I know that walking into an exit point is weird.And especially an exit point that needs to be meticulously prepared for an invasion.

Indeed automate is an option, and has already happened with the likes of Ford half a century ago, McDonalds and Walmart a decade ago, and just yesterday, Amazon opened a fully automated supermarket in UK. And that's not because of the minimum wage but because of profit seeking by reducing their wage bill, so it would be wrong to blame the minimum wage for it. If you were old enough in the 80s and 90s you'd remember "Productivity" was the management buzzword of the time as companies sought efficiencies and cost reductions by further automating.

Like I said, tricky, as companies will find ways to get around paying the minimum wage since you'd not find it easy to impose US tax on robots in China or Mexico.

By the way, are you aware US companies keep their revenue abroad? They buy US debt in the form of treasury bills and earn interest from US with it too, to show you how dubious company managers can be.
Big companies like Amazon have automated as much as they can. They can afford to buy robots which work all day n night without complaining, no medical covers, no pension matching etc.
However they put a human face. I like face to face shop when I can, a bit of online.
Technology is a way to beat manrdated minimum wage Many companies can almost literally eliminate human workforce but have not been forced to so far.

My take is that govt should stop poking its nose into people's lives, how they work, buy, get paid, sleep etc. Govt should just issue guidelines not force some matters especially to small businesses like voodoo shops.

I'm beginning to be bothered with this $15 minimum wage, which I have supported in the past so companies don't pay $0/hr as they might want to, but companies will just shift staff to China or Mexico to avoid it.

What America needs is "buy America" like Ghandhi introduced in India, but Americans seem to prefer cheap wherever they can get it from, and don't seem to do collectivism unless it involves guns or qnonsense, which is why I like the proposal of his as stated below.

Earlier this week, Hawley unveiled a separate minimum wage plan that would send quarterly refundable tax credits to workers earning less than $16.50 per hour, though only workers with valid Social Security numbers would be eligible.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/sarahhansen/2021/02/26/republican-sen-josh-hawley-proposes-legislation-requiring-15-minimum-wage-for-billion-dollar-companies/


They should get the quarterly refundable tax credits from taxing company itself to pay for it, and include companies who rely on imports too. And do one of those Kennedy propagandas "Ask what your country can do for you and buy American!" That should do it, but I know I'm just being naive and it's more compkex than that.

This is as tricky as trying to pay a living wage in Nigeria in my opinion. Government can't afford to pay it and would be hypocrites trying to get the private sector to. But it should remain on the agenda all the same.
Big companies might not shift to China.
They will simply automate, have robots do tasks performed by humans.Including making pizzas and flipping burgers.
Joe Biden advice: Learn to code ( That was in a very different context by the way)
Democrats really dont want that.Someone was proposing taxing robots.

Before the elections they praised Gov Cuomo to high heavens , hiding the fact that he ordered covid-19 elderlies back to Nursing homes.His brother Fredo hosted him on his CNN prime time show showering him with praises on his handling of media briefs over Wuhan virus.
By the way do you know Xibiden has banned the name China virus and all federal agencies should use covid-19.Why? Yet they are describing UK strain and South Africa strain.

deceptively left out that the bulk of the power produced by fossil fuels and nuclear is also frozen.
It was global cooling in the seventies.Then it became global warming in the eighties. Then it became climate change .

Dear Basilico the Right Wing Nutjob,


Solar power works by light not heat. Even when it is snowing or cold, energy is transferred as long as the sun is visible. A solar power system also has an inverter battery system to store energy for when the sun is out.


There are also electric and hybrid trucks.
Don't know what ignoramus taught you that. A fossil fueled plant has a rating of how much power to produce. Comes down to how much fuel to burn.
A hydro only needs a certain amount of 'head" and volume to ensure rated generation power.
A nuclear plant only needs a certain amount of nuclear fuel to produce rated power.

Solar needs sun. When it's cloudy the solar plant can't produce it's rated power.
Wind plants. Can't produce rated power when wind changes direction or it's not windy. Stuff man can't fix only optimize.

Load flow optimization requires a lot of knowledge. When the renewable sources are not producing their rated power , the grid requires traditional sources to kick in during peak demands. In other words renewables are vulnerable to weather vulgaries and are not reliable.They need traditional power generation sources.
But as long as we are not producing power from fossils the left is happy.Its a feel good orgasmic feeling for the left.

What about storage of power?
Minerals have to be mined for the battery, don't make me laugh by insinuating that trucks getting the stuff from the bowels of the earth will be solar powered.

Between 12 a.m. on Feb. 8 and Feb. 16, wind power plunged 93% while coal increased 47% and gas 450%, according to the EIA. Yet the renewable industry and its media mouthpieces are tarring gas, coal and nuclear because they didn’t operate at 100% of their expected potential during the Arctic blast even though wind turbines failed nearly 100%.

That is because turbines in Texas aren't built to withstand unusually cold temperatures, as are turbines in colder climates where wind production is used.
In Saskatchewan, we have had -54 c several times in February already and there are zero frozen wind turbines. Texas only went to about -10c and things are shutting down. Lol.

Texas leaders failed to heed warnings that left the state's power grid vulnerable to winter extremes. Incompetent leaders are the problem.

Annoyingly, my province is sending electrical power down to some southern states in the US because of the unusual freeze. Most of the states are those stupid red states.
Salford, I mentioned in passing that fossil fueled helicopters are being used to spray chemicals on wind turbines.

Great ''real life'' world view.

It is true that we underestimated how deep the theft from those demonRats and their RINO accomplices will be in Nov 3rd 2020. We had hopes that Trump and the good Lord will turn thing around for us. But God had a better plan, apparently. He wants American to have one last taste of how/what rigging an election can cause to the integrity, health and soul of a nation. The devil will have his way with the gay-loving, job-killing, quid pro Joe Biden - for a short while.

Americans know better now.

And before quid pro joe's term is done, MAGA train is in full steam ahead mode - killing off every last remains of demonRats still clinging on to anything in the US. The results will be a landslide win like never seen before - not even Reagan's landslide win will come close!
Exactly. Liberals are happy Trump is out
Media has fed them outright lies invigorating a pathological hatred of Trump.
They hate Trump bevause he was for Americans first, they want profits and domination.
Full commie now.In all countries where fascists and commies took over, their first step was to kill opposition.Today even liberals here say Trump supporters need to be deprogrammed.
Stalin sent any threat of his to Siberia. Pol Pot simply murdered them. Castrol simply executed his critics. All the time the voters of these dictators were of the premise of equal opportunity and justice.

Today Joe Biden signs executive orders, takes no questions from the media that hounded Trump in his sincerity to work for the Americans.Kim Jong Un with Trump, CNN had to embarrass him


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtvU01CM8Hs

The media has been against Trump, at least 75m know that, while I believe Xibiden was rigged in.

Xibiden prolly does not know what he is doing. Just a stooge while I believe other entities are pulling the strings behind him, ordering him what to do.

Just an update on media lies. Gov Cuomo ordered all Nursing Homes to admit everyone who had covid-19 or not. The estimate number of covid-19 deaths was 9k according to York. Last week it was revealed to be 15k. Fredo the Gov CNN anchors brother frequently hosted his brother to portray how Gov Cuomo was handling covid-19 while trashing Trump plans.Trump sent a medical warship to York, Maddow of MSNBC claimed it would take months to arrive, it took only a few days to dock in York. They sent covid-19 patients to the ship instead of other patients who were needed to be removed from hospitals to create more room for covid-19 patients.The media covered all this up.We now know that Gov Cuomo was afraid to reveal the extent of his orders on the number of senior's deaths in NHomes fearing an investigation. Fredo covered this up, while bashing Trump on covid-19 deaths to make him look bad. Oh by the way Fredo is Chris Cuomo the CNN prime time anchor.Of course liberal nutjobs dont know why Chris is referenced as Fredo , from the Godfather by Mario Puzo.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0eS-9v_Abo

Early evening Mayor De Blasio is calling for an investigation into Gov Andrew Cuomo handling of the covid-19 . Gov Cuomo who was being touted as an AG or Presidential candidate fortunes are falling. Demonrats eating each other allowing deaths to make Trump look bad.

Trump from his first day was hounded by the state dept he was in charge of. Media was in sync, demonizing everything he did, said or even thought.
There is a well synchronized opertion to take him down orchestrated by Obama (or his masters).
There is no way they will admit Joe Biden did not win. America has been invading countries to install democracy and was seen as a beacon of democracy. For the courts to throw out Biden, a lot of powerful people will have eggs on their face.They cant let it, thats why we have National Guard in Washington after it was needed for a sham impeachment.And most likely DoJ and three letter agencies are in it for public face.

Today the media repeats allegations of fraud are false.And the song is played out all over.
The covid-19 vaccine was not announced till after elections , they kept mocking Trump for saying a vaccine by 2020.

Very well coordinated anti Trump bias, media , Big tech. FBI refuses to probe allegations of fraud , but can send 25 agents to investigate a noose.

Trump brought a new way of thinking, renegotiate treaties, fight China, fight terrorism by striking the head of the snail, Middle East peace. He trashed leftist climate change agenda .
