    Sure, likely true. You want to make them even poorer with federal policy.

    Totally. That’s why all the richest states are blue and the poorest states are red, our terrible economic policies that make people even poorer.

    This is why we need universal healthcare and a robust welfare system or UBI. It’s obvious those stores were struggling anyways and using this as a scapegoat is convenient. It’s sad that people lost their jobs but a business that can’t pay a living wage is a failure, no matter how desperately you want the rich to walk on your backs over that puddle.

    It’s pathetic that you guys fall for this every single time. A corporation or billionaire whines about anything and you immediately drop to your knees and put their balls on your chin. And then you cry about globalism like you’re not the ones enabling them to be able to do whatever they want, whenever they want.

    Why do the shittiest jobs have to pay a living wage? They are for teenagers and shit
    42% of the country makes less than $15 an hour.
    Any concession that $15 is a bullshit arbitrary number that carries different value depending on zip code?
    Any concession that most of those zip codes are red? Poor and uneducated is just how you like em.
    The policies you favor fuck the poor hard

    And thats a fact beyond dispute
    More or less factual than the election being stolen from Trump?

    Our?

    Kreist. If you live in a big city than everything is more expensive and wages are then, naturally higher. That’s where the min wage is already close to $15 an hour. And every big city outside of Texas is blue. The rest have been Governed by Democrats for decades. Tell me how these rich blue states have done anything to lift people out of poverty?

    All the money in the country is in blue states.

    All the money in red states is in blue cities.

    All those red counties that republicans love to point out during presidential elections equals 30% of this countries wealth. 2500 counties out of 3000.

    This is the worlds lone super power, a couple years ago we had the greatest economy in history and it was all blue. You are the economic crumbs we wipe off on our pants.
