If most “rational” people in your life still support Trump, they are by, ANY definition, NOT rational. Rational people have the ability to “reason”.
All the “rational” people in My Life can reason that Trump is a Uber Fool.
Bottom Line: You need to move to different location.
Watch the second video embedded in the article. That’s the whole Q & A. That’s all voters need to hear. If GA-6 still elects that woman, that’d be all on voters.
OT. Please support SPLC.
Neo-Nazi website raises $150,000 to fight Southern Poverty Law Center lawsuit
Indeed. And not to be a buzzkill, but a realist, HRC arguably trashed DJT in all three debates.
As a small-business owner who’s had to agonize over making payroll every two weeks, I can attest that…
If your business model is based on slave labor – YOU SUCK AT CAPITALISM!
That is GOLD. (I’ve lived in South. Native NW). Slavery and “Lost Cause” still gets A Lot of traction in the South. If Handel went 100% honest and said THAT she would gain votes. “Sad”
Two questions?
1). What part of this do you contest?
Try to eliminate heath care for millions of people. They still support Republicans. Make America the fool before the world. They still support Republicans. Trump makes searingly moronic statements on Twitter. They still support Republicans. Ignore climate change as a hoax? They still support Republicans. Top administration officials under multiple investigations? Treating the presidency as a part to job? They still support Trump.
2). Is it not true that President Obama did the precise opposite of everything listed?
That was a terrible response by Handel and it is circulating around the internet. It will be an issue in this campaign as voters decide whether to vote or on not. Ossoff gave an answer that has a proven track record with voters across the country. Min wage bills are popular in various states, especially if the increases are implemented in an incremental way to enable businesses to adapt.
There seem to be two sorts – A) the ones Josh has been strenuously recruiting and B) new and reactivated trolls.
I thought his answer was the right one. And I think he has effectively capitalized on the statement. Few people watch debates in a congressional race. The key is the soundbites and messaging that come out of them. The message is that Karen Handel doesn’t believe you deserve to earn a living wage. It’s just a bad statement to have made.
Forbes did a piece in 2014 stating that Walmart costs the taxpayers $6.2 billion/year in safety net programs for their workers. In addition to that direct propping up of their low wages, Walmart gets 18% of the nation’s SNAP spending in their stores.
Walmart has a specific department that shows workers every single federal benefit they could qualify and helps them with those applications. They even go so far as to demonstrate why the employee shouldn’t ask for more hours because it would cause them to fall outside of the government programs.
US corporations - Welfare for me but not for thee
It’s truly amazing how people don’t matter to them.
Oh baby. I have many clients who don’t have oodles of money to waste. But I only have one who thinks he owns my ass because he pays me. I consider firing him eleven times a week. Probably will one of these days. You make money by finding the best people and paying them to stay with you. Period. And treating them with respect because they’re professionals. He’s too dumb to understand this. That’s why he’ll always be a bottom feeder.
I know - but it still sounds inhuman to be against it no matter which adjective one uses.
“Livable wage” sounds even more horrible. Maybe that’s the point?
Small business owners wildly underestimate the cost of turnover of staff. Once they are paid decently the employees stay longer. The business is not at a cost disadvantage because their competitors have to do it too. And there is more business to go around since the people at minimum wage have more money to spend.
The way she says it, you’d think it’s ok if they die ----only after the shift is over, of course, and they have discharged their obligations to the employer.
Finally, an honest Republican.
This would raise wages for all of us who work by the hour.
I think he just handed her a bunch of votes she might not have been able to get otherwise.
Like it or not – and I know a lot of people don’t – the common American suburban perception of minimum wage is a kid working at McDonald’s. And like it or not – and I know a lot of people here don’t – most American suburbanites do not think that kids working at McDonald’s should be paid a livable wage.
Everyone here is acting like she gave him sound-bite gold. In fact – for this district in this election – it goes the other way. Her response to him was exactly what people in a middle-class suburban district think; that McDonald’s was never intended – nor should be expected – to be a career. Neither should being a supermarket checker or a Wal-mart greeter or folding clothes at the Gap.
I’m not trying to denigrate those jobs because I know they suck. But you aren’t going to win an election in suburban Georgia telling people that the minimum wage should be raised to a livable level. It’s not the way his potential constituents think.
