You basically described every Republican running for office. It's all about jobs, jobs, jobs, but once elected it is about legislating what can and cannot happen inside a woman's body, screw dealing with jobs.

AGAIN! And as you did in another thread. For YOU, it's all or none. Oh, and I am working on the latter suggestion.

Sure, but rents aren't tied to minimum wage, if they were the rents in NYC and SF would be much, much lower than where they currently are.

Rent control and roommates and multi-generational housing arrangements are the norm in NYC.

So you choose to deflect rather than answer the question....why am I not surprised.

No, I was talking about the 2010 elections. That was the one that was all about jobs, jobs, jobs, and the moment they got elected it was no longer about jobs and all about social issues and trying to govern women's bodies.

You won't have to. It's already happened The Plummeting Labor Market Fortunes of Teens and Young Adults | Brookings Institution

Do the search for the San Jose metro area and see that only 19% of kids 16-19 were working, and only 58% 20-24 age group had jobs. These both rank 80ish out of the 100 largest metro areas you can search. AMONG THE LOWEST IN THE NATION, and lower than Portland's.
