ahhh, Republicans want corporations to abide by the laws. there are regulations we want set at reasonable levels, but as long as there's a law, we want folks to abide by them.

I've zero doubt that the capitalist eco minded despised the labor forces' resistance to work without higher pay. It hit them in the profit pockets. For a brief moment the employee had the upper hand. Negotiating hours, leniency and wage. Then the squeeze formed. Capitalist paid out but refused to take any ' less' in it's margin . So it increased product value, made do with less employees . Keep increasing costs. Then the real estate business saw the window of opportunity. Folks ultimately need shelter. Squeeze them of any funds they were able to break even on. Thus came the 35% increase and folks back to square one. At the mercy of the basics for survival. Food, shelter, utilities. I'm not an investor or care for living off another's hardship. Yet that's America. Your pain needs relieved and you'll pay the market price to ease it. Never mind you can walk away from that entire web of deceit. Stop depending on a system that favors the ' he who has the money makes the rules'. The problem with the workforce is they were short sighted and didn't realize that no matter what .. Mr profit was not going to ever feel pain. Only pleasure from the economic pain it incurrs.

How can someone claim they are not making enough money to live on when they refuse to work at all? It's always the fault of "big corporations", right? LOL

Black urban areas are being hit the hardest.

We are about to be hit with an enormous homelessness wave due to Bidenomics, inflation, & perhaps by mid-week, a recession too.

Food insecurity has quadrupled in Maryland since December 2021:

These are very dark times for the bottom half of our fellow Americans.

Why are the Libs spending $40,000,000,000 on Ukraine, when Americans are losing their homes & going hungry? Where's the compassion?

The Uber Leftists only care about themselves, & they are out of touch. They are telling Americans to buy electric cars, when they can't even afford rent.
Vote democrat this is what you get. Thats one reason why I stopped

Dems used to be the Blue collar working man...remember "Lunchbox Joe Biden"?

Now, they are purposely infliciting inflation on them to force them to buy electric cars that they cannot afford.

I think a lot of people will stop voting for Dems starting this November 8th. They'll mostly be independents, but even some moderate Dems will cross over. Suburban housewives, blacks, & hispanics too.

After the Pubs retake the House, I hope they don't blow it, like they usually do; with more deficit spending.

Very sad, but we voted for it. Dems will always exploit we the black community for votes, then leave them out to dry. (I use "them" because I don't vote Democrat)

Ironically, the only solution would be for blacks to not vote Dem all, and watch the Dems bend over backwards to get their vote back. But until blacks hold Dems accountable, nothing will change.
