What a disaster that will be.

I have a very Liberal friend that owns a couple of shops and he is all for the $15 per hour mini BUT when I asked him why he doesn't pay his people that now he said if he did he would go broke. If it becomes the law I guess he will go out of business.



They will probably just write up a EO for Joe and he won't even know what he is signing.





We can only hope that someone has enough sense to not introduce this wage increase now because there are so many small business's that are just hanging on due to the Covid. I won't hold my breathe though.

Hopefully soon. I generally oppose it on a national level, but regardless of whether one supports it or not, it should not be part of the COVID relief bill.

China would love that. Many manufacturing jobs still pay below $15/hr. Biden would be gifting tons of new jobs to China, perhaps more than they can handle.

I can’t see any employer paying $15 an hour full time plus benefits, it’ll,be $15 part time no benefits.

They'll increase the min wage incrementally over several years. Not all at once. $1-$2 added each year. All the states which increased min wage have done so incrementally over several years. Even red states like Florida have gone to $15 min wage, with incremental increases each year.

They voted for the cow pie sandwich, they’d better enjoy it!

I would put up a LOL sign when he goes bankrupt.

Yes, that makes the idea of minimum wage sane!

When Biden talks about children rubbing his hairy legs in the pool, or when he pinches an under aged girl's nipple, the left is silent. The leftist controlled lame stream media also protected known child predator Epstein for years, even as their own reporters were presenting executives and management with crystal clear evidence that Epstein was still preying on children. It was all ignored, because you can't speak out against the leftist elites. Clinton even paled around with him on his private jet and island. Not a peep from the left about this.



When Trump says (in a secret recording) that of age women would allow him to grab their privates, he is worse than Hitler, according to the left.



The extreme hypocrisy is deafening.
