Rep. Barbara Lee in California Senate race says minimum wage should be raised to $50

In a standout moment, Democratic Rep. Barbara Lee, former mayor of Oakland, discussed a proposal to raise the federal minimum wage to $50 per hour.

A perfect example why Calif. is going down the drain.

Higher minimum wage often has the effect of raising the cost of living as well so I wonder whether this really helps anyone.

Poll -- Ethiopian restaurant in Pattaya?

Jingthing · yesterday at 08:51 AM1 day

There are a number of cuisines types that are probably more obviously missing in Pattaya now (notably Indonesian and Malaysian) but this topic is about Ethiopian. I'm curious about the interest and possible demand for a decently priced, reasonably good/authentic Ethiopian restaurant here. I know that many urban Americans are familiar with Ethiopian food, but I'm not sure about Europeans and other nationalities. It's my impression that it;'s a kind of food that once tried, the majority will li

Seafood buffet

georgegeorgia · yesterday at 02:43 AM1 day

I would like to try a beautiful delicious seafood buffet I don't know where to go in Pattaya for this ,hence I'm seeking analysis on this project I'm not particularly concerned about price , but as I don't like crowds or people sitting near me , I don't like too many people where it's obnoxiously overcrowded where people are pushing shoving fighting for the food I find people seem attracted to me like honey to a pot , I could be in a restaurant say Sizzlers and there is hundreds of tables

“Djalili: UK should seize ayatollah’s properties Omid Djalili, the British-Iranian comedian, said the British government should seize the assets of Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, including his extensive property portfolio in London, “People are not seeing these people coming in from the West to create regime change,” he told Times Radio. “Look at the new supreme leader. We’ve just found out that in Britain he has properties worth £250 million pounds. And when the Ukraine war happen

Iran is winning and will likely win the war against the USA

Jingthing · 14 hours ago14 hr

It certainly doesn't please me to realize this dark reality. This is a war that Trump (snookered by Israel) should have never started in the first place. However, this war more than anything else clearly signals to me that the American empire is declining rapidly. Maybe call it a suicide. This topic is being started to discuss and track the events related to Iran winning this war against the USA. I call it a war against the USA rather than a war against the USA and Israel because it would be

The International Left's Dangerous Appeasement of Iran, A Wake Up Call for Global Security! In an era where state sponsors of terrorism like Iran continue to escalate their nuclear threats, it's alarming to see elements of the international left, including disillusioned citizens of Western countries, turning a blind eye or even justifying such actions as responses to USA/Israel aggression, especially after repeated attempts at negotiations . This pattern of appeasement not only undermines glob

United States and Israel Launch Strikes on Iran The United States and Israel launched coordinated strikes on Iran early Saturday, marking a dramatic escalation after weeks of tense nuclear negotiations between Washington and Tehran. A U.S. official described the operation as “not a small strike,” while Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz called it a “preemptive” action. Israel simultaneously declared a nationwide state of emergency in anticipation of retaliation. Donald Trump: ‘Massive and On

Trump hasn't even gone that far. His response to being questioned about the fact that we now know it was a US target was that he didn't know about it. Next question.

Might I ask, please, what did you have for breakfast, 60-years ago? I have a great memory for such important details of my life. And, nostalgia is definitely NOT pointless. In fact, enjoying nostalgia is something that can prolong life, and improve our feelings of wellbeing. Did you know?

Like sending your children to school and then coming to the school to attempt to identify their remains that were burnt beyond recognition by a US Tomahawk missile. Imagine if some country blew up a US school and then just said it was a targeting mistake? That's the way to create super-soldiers who seek revenge for the rest of their lives.

After Aggressive Pruning: Can/will this tree even survive?

GammaGlobulin · 3 hours ago3 hr

Dear Folks, As we all know, most trees in the city, or the suburbs, get pruned. Most seem to survive this cutting. However, some never recover. At this time, I am worried about my favorite tree which has been growing near my property for some time, and which has provided me with welcome shade from the sun, during the Hot Seasons. I have no idea concerning the botanical name for this species of tree. I just know that it once was beautiful. My hope is that it will re-grow into its former se

Why do electric-power outages very rarely happen during evening hours?

GammaGlobulin · 19 hours ago19 hr

Dear Folks, Have you ever wondered why grid-related power outages are extremely rare during evening hours, while PEA workers are asleep? Yet, they happen all the time while these PEA workers are awake and ON-THE-JOB? Ever wondered about THIS? Just an innocent question...and.... Can you, or anyone, provide a good and logical explanation? Please feel free to chime-in with your thoughts. Thank you. Best regards, Gamma NOTE: By evening hours, we mean about 7:00pm to 5:30am, in case we need
