That's what I thought, thanks!

Any raise at all must result in layoffs, higher prices, a reduction in profit, or some combination of the three. There are only so many jobs that require significant education. Over half the workforce in the US have college degrees, which just means more and more jobs require one to have a degree. Jobs that used to only require a high school diploma, now require college degrees.

You must be a leftist. It is just basic arithmetic. As labor becomes more expensive, all things the same, you have to use less labor you want to maintain margins. Have you noticed how many people are sweeping here? As the cost of labor goes up, a power-sweeper that costs $250K that does the work of ten staff becomes more attractive. The driver will earn a little more than one of the old staff, but the other nine staff will be out of work.

Thai labor law mandates that employees be paid for overtime. The labor department will go after employers vigorously that do not comply. While there are employers that cheat, they are not the norm. And as the minimum wage increases and they watch the margin decrease they will have fewer.

I acknowledge that you did not provide the relevant facts I requested. Didn't you know them? The only "fact" you mentioned was that he could not have been indicted while being President. I do not disagree with that.

When were the "crimes" committed, and how long ago did he get out of office?

What does Hunter's influence peddling have to do with the left's claim that Trump will be a dictator in his second term? I think it safe to say Hunter has never done anything to support himself that did not relay on his father being in office. No, I'm not telling you that. I was telling you I support jailing most anyone convicted of any crime that has sentencing guidelines that call for it. I also stated that I believe that the only reason Trump is being prosecuted/persecuted is because of who he is, and not because of what he's done. I then asked that if the crimes are so serious, why did the left wait until the election cycle to charge him? I went on to ask what you think Jared Kusner had done that you see as a serious crime. You did not respond to what I was telling you, nor did you answer any of my questions. What do you mean by normally? I think the sanctions on Qatar (and sanctions on Iran) were in in the best interest of the United States. What "many of which" are you talking about, and when were the crimes committed? I bet you don't even know. Apparently the left cared nothing about what he was doing as long as he was contributing to Democrats. Not sure what you are talking about. Jordan Klepper? You seem to be confused. I do not now, nor have I ever cared that Hunter Biden is a drug addict. Why are you even bringing him up?

No. The left (as always) will direct us further left, by whatever means possible, in this case, climate change hysteria.

To the poor among us maybe, but not really that much in the scheme of things to most here.

I would guess 1.8-2.4

I thought it would be here this year, I've been looking forward to it. As I understand it, it will be on the new TNGA-F platform the Tacoma Land Cruser and Lexus shares in the US.

I think people that support minimum wages silly.

So, hire fewer people, but pay them more? That's what will happen when the minimum wage is increased.

Don't worry, the left will save us!

People that are stupid don't know it. Not enough information for me to suggest what I would do, but how much time and effort is being cheated (if that is actually the case) out of 5K worth?

Weak No, they are not. You made an unsupported claim and you should support it. I am not stalking you. I am asking you to provide an in-context quote of Trump saying he plans on being a dictator. You have not. The links you provided do not contain quotes that support your false claim. Why don't you just post the quotes? If me asking you to support your false claims is embarrassing, put me on ignore. I'm only responding to your responses to me, yet you accuse me of stalking and call me an idiot. That's hilarious, albeit typical of the left. I think everyone knows you cannot provide an in-context quote of Trump saying he plans on being a dictator, because such a quote does not exist. If you do not want me to continue asking you to support you false claim, just do not respond to me.

Nice to see you take a fair and balanced view. I support jailing most anyone convicted of any crime that has sentencing guidelines that call for it. I believe that the only reason Trump is being prosecuted/persecuted is because of who he is, and not because of what he's done. If the crimes are so serious, why did the left wait until the election cycle to charge him? What has Jared Kusner done that you see as a serious crime?

That's because you're a leftist.

Right.

I am still waiting for you to provide an in-context quote of Trump saying he plans on being a dictator. If you do that, I will apologize for calling you a liar. You post links that do not contain quotes. Why don't you just post the quotes? Oh, that's right, because you can't.

So, draining the reserves is actually a good thing, right?

And no quotes. I know you weren't taught what "quote" means during your leftist indoctrination at university, but posting links does not qualify. Still your turn. I am still waiting for you to provide an in-context quote of Trump saying he plans on being a dictator. If you do that, I will apologize to both you and your lying fellow leftist danderman.
