      Perhaps if it was tied to cost of living and/or inflation.  But pulling a number out of your butt because it sounds good is not good policy.  Treating all businesses like they’re large businesses is not good policy.  $15 dollars in New York is not the same as $15 dollars in Omaha.  Furthermore, increasing taxes on businesses takes away revenue for wages.  Importing millions of unskilled workers every year floods the market with labour and depressed wages for lower skilled workers.  Maybe try stop doing all of that, and I might entertain some kind of minimum wage.  But a national minimum wage is bad policy.  States, just like provinces should control that process.  One size fits all policy is not productive.  Also, eliminating good paying union jobs by fiat like pipelines should stop as well.  Stop killing jobs you don’t like.  It’s fascist.

      I like how Conservatives are cool with Union Jobs when they contribute to pollution. 

      The problem with wages is that they haven't been tied to inflation. They've been stagnant for years while the cost of everything has gone up except average wages comparatively.  

      $15/hour would only be a good starting point for many places.

      $15 is almost $20 Canadian.  You’re insane if you think we should raise our minimum wage that high at a time when many businesses have been unable to open because of covid.  Most are hemorrhaging money and people like you want to raise their labour costs by 100%.  You’re an economic illiterate.  Real wage growth doesn’t come from government decreed, it comes from profits but most importantly demand for labour.  Which people like you flood the supply and depress wages by making labour less valuable with you stupid policies.  You’re good intentions will kill jobs and kill businesses.  But you don’t care, it’s all about virtue signalling and symbolism.  Btw, wages rose during Trumps term as president.  Biden’s minimum wage hike will cost millions of jobs at a time when businesses are most fragile.  I swear you people are retarded.  Or just don’t care.

  2. A national minimum wage is ridiculous. $15 dollars an hour in New York is much different than $15 dollars an hour in Omaha Nebraska. Regardless, if Democrats stopped implementing job killing and wage killing policies, you wouldn't need the government to set arbitrary minimum wages. Democrats kill jobs through bad policy, like the recent pipeline decision, and they bring in massive unskilled labor every year that depresses wages. Create a demand for labor and wages will rise naturally. But Democrats are globalist whores now.
  3. I think the answer is yes. Vaccinating most people with one dose, and giving them 92% protection makes more sense than using the second does to bump it up to 94%. High risk people could be given the second dose I guess. But the majority of the population should just receive the one dose. You could vaccinate the country a lot faster that way, and achieve great results.
  4. Complete nonsense. Try to post without so many strawmen, false premises and false choices. Otherwise it's not worth responding to.
  5. The issue for most people is to what degree is man responsible for any changes. That's hard to quantify. It's also hard to quantify any potential reverses that might happen with any reductions in CO2. But the crux of the issue is that alarmists continue to preach that climate change is a urgent issue, but at the same time, allow the biggest CO2 emitter on the planet to continue to produce C02 unabated until 2030. It can't be both an urgent issue, and China allowed to continue to massively produce C02 for another 10 years. Either alarmists have to start addressing China in a meaningful way, or STFU. We continue to damage our economy, put in place policies that affect our jobs, and wages and standards of living, while the biggest polluter on the planet continues to pollute at will for the next 10 years. It's more than absurd.
  6. Meh. Democrat riots killed and injured police and destroyed people's property. And they're now the globalist anti-worker party as well. Their future is much worse. People won't like policies that hurt jobs, wages, etc.
  7. The future is bright. The GOP is rapidly becoming the blue-collar party. There are signs across racial and ethnic demographic groups that Republicans are becoming the party of blue-collar Americans and the change is happening quickly. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/meet-the-press/gop-rapidly-becoming-blue-collar-party-here-s-what-means-n1258468
  8. Biden administration refuses to condemn Andrew Cuomo. Remember when Democrats constantly asked Republicans to condemn Trump? Just more hypocrisy.
  9. More snow covered solar panels and frozen wind turbines are definitely the answer! ?

      Too much reliance on wind and solar, and older pipes that are susceptible to colder temperatures now.  Apparently that's anti-government! ???

      Because no state or province has ever lost power during a severe weather event!  Texas is the first and only!

      Bubber's problem is he didn't listen to what you said, Shady. Instead he invented something he wanted to believe you said and expected you to prove it.

      Some poor twisted souls do that...a lot. In fact it becomes pretty much who they are. I could name names.

      But I heard you Shady, even if Bubber refuses to. You're talking about too much reliance on unreliable energy sources. Not total reliance. Total reliance isn't what you ever said so how could a mind get so twisted that it expected you to prove that?

      It's funny too, because these people only squawk when Texas has power problems after a severe storm.  When California, or Puerto Rico, or New Jersey, or New York, etc have power problems after a severe storm their silent.  When Ontario and Quebec and days long power outages during the ice storm a few years back, these people were also silent.  It's more hypocrisy.  It's all they know.

  10. Democrats will fix Texas by making it more like California.  Rolling blackouts when the weather’s nice too! ?

  11. Texas’ power problems stem from reliance on wind and solar, which are not sufficient power sources.  Green energy policies don’t work, and people are suffering because of it.

      News flash the vast majority of their power comes from non-renewable sources. Facts are immaterial if you are a true Q believer though.

      The objections to the spread of anti-white racism is itself spreading. Baby-steps so far though. They have to be brave right now and that's rare.

      “I ask that Smith College stop reducing my personhood to a racial category. Stop telling me what I must think and feel about myself,” she said. “Stop presuming to know who I am or what my culture is based upon my skin color. Stop asking me to project stereotypes and assumptions onto others based on their skin color.”

      Watch the whole thing here:

  13. Auston Matthews is the best player in the NHL.  Mitch Marner is second best.

      I want to see which one of McDavid or Matthews can lead their team to a championship before I make up my mind about that.

      Neither is in Crosby or Ovechkin territory yet.

  14. AK’s are already banned. You’re banning guns based on their look and not what they actually do. It’s absurd.
  15. Avoiding the lying of the liar in chief huh? Not surprised.
  16. BREAKING: New immigration bill introduced by House and Senate Democrats will bring illegal aliens deported during the Trump administration back to the U.S. and provide them with citizenship

      Send them to Roxham Road...the RCMP will carry their luggage !

  17. Democrats caught falsifying evidence for the impeachment trial.  They changed dates of tweets and added a verified check to an unverified account.  Police state tactics.

      Yep, these liberals turn into police state fascists when Trump is involved.  But he’s the fascist! ?

      Well they are telling people not to travel abroad. That's consistent. 

  20. Did Joe not think there was proof?
  21. Biden makes at least 4 false statistical claims at CNN town hall on Tuesday. #LiarInChief

     

  22. You have to be careful though. Somebody going through bad depression might want assisted suicide. Depression is generally a temporary thing. Killing people for temporary reasons is not a good policy for society to have. So no, just because somebody asks for it isn't the end of it.
  23. Wuhan Lab to receive US tax dollars until 2024.  Joe Xiden is China’s bitch.

  24. I never said that. You’re lying.
