Trump is now beefing with his buddy Karl Rove. He said worse to Steve Bannon before they reconciled tbh.

Twitter putting these guys to shame again. Parler was meant to put Twitter out of business

[/b]Some of us earning very high are still complaining of high cost of living[b]. Wages are not rising as fast as inflation.I don't know how guys living on low minimum wage survive.
Last time I earned that was when I was a student at uni in Manchester and I shared a flat with 3 other colleagues also working minimum wage jobs. We do combined buying of groceries too and that was how we were able to get by.

California makes almost everyone feel that way. You think you're very comfortable till reality hits you.

salford1:
I don't trust that guy. I am surprised with this development though.

Look, these MAGAts know policies like these are popular with their base when you go past the "anti establishment" and immigration issues.
Trump knows this as well. Thats why he eventually became "open to it".
It's the same as Biden's coronavirus plan. It's popular amongst their base but agenda must agend.

He's a Populist fake Conservative, [/b]just trying to drag voters with left-wingers.[b]

When a conservative is not true to conservative values, they find common fiscal ground with socialists. [/b]After all populism includes elements of socialism.[b]

$15 is too high for a mimimum wage. Mcdonalds is a billion dollar company. I don't expect them to pay $15.

$12 is very OK, and expensive Cities like California and New York can impose their own living wage. In a pandemic period where labour is highly dispensable, we should not make it overly difficult for companies to hire. I'm sure everyone saw non-farm payroll stats yesterday and employment stats today. $12 is enough. $15 will lead to accelerated outsourcing decisions, and leave only service economy jobs. Na with clap dem dey take enter dance.

People act like companies are wealthy evil entities. Companies are owned by shareholders like.you and me. The price we pay for the stock (whether we actively invest or through our pensions) is reflective of a future expectation of profits. Should companies be burdened with unrealistic profit-eroding labour costs, then we the people who put our savings in these companies whether wittingly or unwittingly have also been sold an overinflated asset whose future earnings are now no longer what we thought they would be.

Best believe if AOC or Sanders came up with this idea - MAGATs would have gone bat crazy about how they want to America to a communist state. The hypocrisy of those guys is what gets me the most.

I personally think states should be left to decide. But minimum wage can't remain stagnant while inflation keeps rising. There needs to be a balance.

budaatum:
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.

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 tax credit idea seems reasonable enough. But yeah, this minimum wage issue must be tackled sooner or later.

raumdeuter:
Companies worth over 1billion can afford it, I dont support enforcing it on everyone cos it can kill small businesses

$15 for companies over 1billion and $10 for everyone else looks like the best compromise in this political climate.
States should look to implement something like this(based on the cost of living of course).

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?

Josh Maja Disallowed goal vs Tottenham....

Maja is such a good finisher...his shots are always aimed at the top corner.
Reminds me a bit of Anelka with that...

RichardRandy:
U could right , but I think u are very very wrong calling Ibos out on ur coment just beocz of some1 who dis something bad..
Are their no bad Yoruba's ?
Are there no bad Hausa's
Or are there no bad people from ur side?
IBO's are very good people I schools among them..they are the most welcoming as far as Nigeria is concerned
Forget the media hype of Yorubas being welcoming and all that I stay and work in lagos.

I'm not ibo but we should stop making coments like that especially on sensitive issues like this.
Yorubas are trying hard to use their media to condemned.others but when its their own is guilty they cover it.
I have been observing that since I joined this forum

I was just going through the first page of this topic and its so so disgusting to see such coment THIS IS VERY BAD and I don't expect u to partake in such

Ignorance knows no tribe. All you can do is just shake your head at these foolish tribal squabbles.
Oh and please don't make igbos as victims in this(I'm Igbo) - they also take part in this "Name Checking" wars whenever a topic on crime hits the front page.

Godarz:
It's March 4th

When Trump would allegedly become the 19th president of the US and the US will become a Republic witb freedom from the UK and cease to be a corporation or something



Well we shall see. Maybe Trump will invisibly take over the throne...or something

Yep. The "shadow Government" will finally come out of the shadows and destroy "China Joe" and his globalist establishment politicians...

I'll never understand why some people can't behave their damn selves!!
Imagine going to destroy another man's country while bragging and attacking its citizens as "lazy".
The sooner we strongly condemn these guys the better. The frustrating ish is they are never on the receiving end of the xenophobic attacks...its the innocent/legitimate people that have to bear the brunt of their greed and foolishness...

Iheanacho's goal vs Burnley (Ndidi assist - Ndigbo connection )

Kelechi Van Persie ...

https://streamwo.com/01f483a0

It was a great finish. We all know that is his strongest point...

Well now that that's out of the way...Senate should pass the corona stimulus bill by the end of the week.
Sanders and the progressives are being too hasty with the minimum wage thing...they should listen to Biden

Subzero047:
Iheanacho with an 'eye of the needle' through pass

Yeah I saw that...

Clown. Dont start what you can't finish.. "rational" one.

Mention away for all I care. I'm not going to civil with a cringing bit of shit like you.

Typical Breitbart comments section reading fool...you like to insult people till you're on the receiving end...now it's "oh you're emotional" to save face.

This fake attempt to appear "mature" will not work. Next time you'll realize you're not the only one that has a sharp mouth...

You're an idiot. I am not interested in engaging a disingenuous, attention seeking man child.

Don't quote me and I could care less whatever else you do. Take your stupid Milo Yiannopoulos stunts and go shove it up your ass...

I don't give a Bleep who attacks you - don't attack me. You're one of the dumbest people I've ever come across. Stick to copy and pasting Breitbart comments and never ever insult me again.
It's not my fault you didn't get enough love and attention while growing up...

Obrigardo:
All i know is that a "trump" will be going to jail this year . Let them gaslight all they can.

I have no problem with diversity of thought. What I will not accept is a 25 year old man child who thinks they can insult and stalk people's profile crying "censorship" when he gets ignored.

Triggered by facts indeed. Calling someone an idiot and "spitting on them" are facts.

Dumb ass moronic Trumpanzee who thinks the discovery of Breitbart makes him one smart cookie.

Attention seeking bitxh ass lowlife. Who else creates over 3 profiles just to come on here to call people "leftists" and insult whomever ignores them?

A fool at 25 is near irredeemable...

I don't know what some of these Breitbart Nigerian Trumpanzees/Conservatives are smoking, but whoever is the MOD of this group needs to tell them to chill before this thread turns to something else.
The next time that 25 year old Kwara Milo Yiannopoulos man child insults me again - I sure as hell will do more than just give him the attention he's begging for.

I'm saying it now before anyone gets "disappointed" with my behavior...

basilico:
He had fawning press coverage , well he is photogenic. 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.
Now that he is no longer needed They are on his neck. He wont last.

Cuomo getting press coverage doesn't mean he was touted for shit.
Show me one poll where he polled highly as an option for president.
People are not happy with him and want him gone...thats how things should be...not blindingly worshipping him.
Your point about the Covid name??
Look, sooner or later you'll eventually swallow your L. 81m plus electoral college > 74m. Deal with it.

basilico:
Its hit NY Times. Fredos brother is cooked. A typical play thing. He was being considered to replace Xibiden .Looks like the left has a new candidate now to replace Xibiden.
Gov Cuomo goose is cooked.

He was never "considered" to replace Biden. Yanning opaks without reasonable proof as usual...

wirinet:
Yes his supporters are massive, but not massive enough to win national elections. It's only massive enough to win elections in rural towns and villages populated with illiterate or semi illiterate white men.

When he can win the both the popular vote and electoral college - then we'll agree he's really bigger than Reagan.

pompeiimagnus:
Baba, I am really looking forward to Trump's speech tomorrow. He has been very quiet since leaving office, ironically, his social media ban has actually bolstered his brand and popularity among his magans.The GOP is now his party, and every elected Republican has realized this. While I don't like his style, the reality is that his supporters and followers are massive.

Yeah I might have to tune in tbh...

salford1:
If those ones were Christians, I would immediately change my religion. They are Baal worshipers and cultists. Lol.

Loool I swear. They know better than to be pushing the religious angle unlike their shameless Nigerian supporters.

Nigeria really needs to start taking Bipolar Disorder seriously...
