    So you're a fan of the corporatist/globalist agenda.

    This kills many mom and pops.

    I don't disagree, but Clinton and Obama did nothing to stop it

    So time for the Dems to stop fagging out by cancelling cartoon characters and children's books, promoting mentally ill trans lifestyles, and selling out to China and letting big tech and just about every other major corporate entity rule us.

    Reagan emptied the mental hospitals too and according to @BearsWiin is controlling the GOP and Democrats from the grave

    Quite the dude

    The US Congress killed wages and the free flow of cheap exploitable labor that you support plays a big role in that

    But sure blame Dutch. He's dead

    Reaganomics was pretty damned Keynesian, though it claimed to be something different. Some of Reagan's policies may have contributed to declines in worker's wages, but the decline has continued unabated, as Bill said.

    Anyone who complains about stagnate entry level/low skill job wages and supports illegal immigration and or the importation of millions of low skilled, poorly educated immigrants is a fucking fraud who should be ignored.

    My only point to wages is supply and demand

    Not every job is designed to be tied to a full time employee

    For example, washing dishes in a restaurant isn’t meant to be a career choice

    I’d be very interested in seeing what a sliding scale minimum wage looks like for certain ages and jobs.

    Let’s also be realistic that high minimum wage results in higher prices. I’m more than happy to see higher minimum wage when it comes to places like McDonald’s that over compensates their prices. I laugh at food delivery with obscene delivery fees during the pandemic. Restaurants about to be packed with better food and competitive prices on the other end of COVID as a example.

    But let’s get the right people doing the right jobs at the right prices.

    Illegal immigration and the minimum wage means less jobs for American citizens.
