Sorry, but since you have not bothered to practise the ideology you are propagating, I refuse to take any advice from you because you do not know what 'comprehension' is or means, and you are in brazen contradiction of the lifestyle you are ignorantly propagating.

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.

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!

The opposite of Zombeism will probably be an outright thoughtless rejection of any opinion or position by others.

No quite the opposite, necessarily, since the "thoughtless rejection of any opinion or position [given] by others" can also be because of zombieism, as in, the zombieic programming to not have the brains to reject.

I got bored. Had nothing to watch, and someone recommended this with the caveat "only if you got nothing better to do". I guess they know me well.

From the very first episode, my mind could not stay glued, but knowing I would have to post about it on here, and considering my conversation with an individual who has opinions about a book he hasn't and can not read, I figured, buda, do not be a hypocrite, and at least watch season 1. But I failed. By episode 3 I was just about done, though I let it run till episode 8 or 9 in the background.

For me, this is just way beneath my level, I'm sorry to arrogantly say, especially since I suspect many of you might love it. I can imagine the responses already telling me I don't know what I'm talking about, but I insist I very much do know myself.

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is crap telly, in my very subjective opinion, though you might find it interesting. And yes, I found better things to do.

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.

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!

Not for presidency, he can't. It's not as if he has built up the sort of following that made Buhari the APC presidential candidate. In fact, Sowore will not even make junior minister in APC, though he might in PDP if he pays somebody.

Sowore is just not organised at all, and I am very disappointed in him. He is the sort of person who should be mobilising youths here on NL, the biggest Nigerian platform, but do you see him here? I don't, and I'm very very dissapointed in him indeed I am.

I love how the appeal court that decided this is in Akure and not in Osun State.

And it is time for my state to dump APC for PDP, though I do not support this for the presidency, yet, especially if they choose Atiku. But if APC chooses that jaguda Tinubu, I guess I'd be in dilemma. If only Sowore or someone else could grow up.

Any suggestions please?

As per jobs moving abroad if minimum wage is increased, Walmart and some other big cooperations have been importing from China for donkey years anyway. Same people resisting increment to the minimum wage would complain about high cost of items if Walmart were to produce all it's stuffs in the country.

This reminds me of my co-workers often complaining about Tim Hortons, McDonald's, Popeyes, burger king e.t.c hiring mostly Filipinos and other migrant workers over white high school kids.

These same dudes also deliberately ignore the fact that high school kids, even though living for free with mum and dad, would instantly reject those $10 per hour minimum wage job. They would rather sit at home and play video games instead of working like a slave just so some CEO's and shareholders can earn fat wages/bonuses and high returns for shareholders. The Lebanese dude operating the 7 McDonald's franchise in my city drives like 3 different types of Bentley around town.

When an immigrants living with 5 other immigrants in a 3 bed apartment gets hired at these $10 per hour minimum jobs, these same very conservative co-workers complain about foreigners taking their kid's jobs. I just don't get it.

That's why it's a tricky issue. The natives are too wealthy to do minimum wage jobs so the foreigners do them instead. The owners need the foreign cheap labour so they support immigration to get it. The immigrants want the job as it pays more than is paid at home so they'll jump over walls and swim in shark infested seas to get them. And the trumps take advantage of sit down at home playing computer by magaing them to build that wall.

This vent and venom should be channelled to those that brought the evil govt to being

I am one of those who supported my bubu. The choice at the time was between him and the puppet GEJ who was sleeping while Nigeria was being raped and plundered, so I stand by my choice, especially when you say "brought", as if Nigeria is not a democracy. Were you asleep at the time or could you not have "brought" the government you wanted?

I said at the time that my bubu will teach Nigerians a lesson with the hardship he will impose on Nigeria and he surely has without a doubt. He called us lazy fuqs, and he was telling the truth.

Hopefully, you will now all wake up and realise your vote counts for four years at a time, because whether you voted for bubu or not, you are responsible for bringing him to power. It's called Democracy, rule by the ruler we the people elect, and I hope we remember that next time.

Meanwhile, Join the Nairaland Democratic Party and be the change you want to see.

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.

https://voxeu.org/article/robots-should-be-taxed-while

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.

Walsh said Trump’s insistence that he, not Biden, won the 2020 election, has been eagerly adopted by a Republican base that is more primed for conspiratorial thinking than ever. “When I ask people specifically about QAnon, it’s only a rare Trump supporter that can give me any specifics, but damn near all of them are just general conspiracists,” he added. “There’s just a huge general overlap in that most of the Republican Party base voters now are conspiracy believers… Because the base is evangelical, the base is now conspiratorial, and they are one and the same.”

Another prominent Republican, ex-GOP Chairman Michael Steele, cautioned that it’s specifically white evangelicals who’ve largely been taken in by QAnon and other mass delusions, driven at least in part by Trump’s insistence that 2020 election results were not legitimate because Black voters in urban and suburban areas played a significant role in the outcome.
The Independent: QAnon has merged with white Christian evangelicals, experts say — and the results could be lethal.

Hmmm I find this proposal by Josh Hawley interesting. Maybe he's not as useless as I think he is.

What do you think? cc budaatum Salford1 Ibime Ladyhippolyta88 etc?

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.

the command to love your neighbour is also included as part of the Old Covenant(YHWH), the term "neighbour" meant to indicate even those who are also your neighbours obviously.

How about the command to love your enemies too, even after they have slap your cheeks 7 times 70 times, is that Old Testament too?

And if you obey it are you not disobeying the OT eye for an eye? Though it was not exactly a law, I must admit, and just an understanding that was yet to evolve till Christ thankfully evolved it.

By the way, I was agreeing with you.

"Professing love, yet refusing to obey the commandments as stipulated by the person of Jesus Christ is meaninglessness."
