    So AOC raises a bunch of cash for the Texas weather victims whom Texas' Senators abandoned, but AOC's rhetoric is just too dangerous for Amurrica to tolerate. OK, Trumpists. Enjoy CPAP.

    I don't know about a $15 an hour minimum wage, but I would tax the hell out of businesses that pay workers low enough that they qualify and get public assistance - taxpayers shouldn't be subsidizing businesses to keep their employees fed.

    Everybody's focused on the pay. The hours are just as important.

    My wife is part-time at her store, as only management can be classified as full time. Still, she has regularly worked 36-40 hours a week for the past three years, mainly because she accomplishes more in one hour than her colleagues do in 2-3 hours. And her managers rewarded her for that.

    A month ago, a corporate directive came down that part-timers can't work more than 28 hours a week. Next week she has 19 hours. They'll get you one way or another.

    RE: full-time employees qualifying for public assistance ... so every employee at local newspapers, TV, and radio stations.

    RE: Keeping people limited so they aren't classified as full time just to avoid providing benefits... that crap needs to stop, too.

    Raymond Bryant, sounds like a Christian name. And not from country south of Oklahoma

    West Virginia can be bought off cheap. Deregulate the coal mines and build high speed rail from Wheeling to DC & NY. By the time they are all dead, WVa will be gentrified.
    Might be easier just to make the other half of the population disabled

    That’s the key
    There were so many times what he did on a Monday or Tuesday that pissed you off would be forgotten by the time the Friday outrage came
    Normal people got exhausted by all this
    Trumpers reveled in it
    I like it the way it is now, even after only a month

    I would not be at all surprised if we eventually find out there were multiple people with access to his Twitter account. There were different levels of syntax, spelling and punctuation that didn't seem to come from the same person. And yes, the whole four years were exhausting.

    Stephen Miller might even be a worse writer than Trump.
    Because he has training, he looks at it vocationally, he tries and he still sucks.
