There is no labor shortage. There is a *cheap labor* shortage.

Employers that pay a decent wage are fine. Employers that want to pay their slaves $7.25/hour are suffering - AS THEY SHOULD BE.


‘Decent wage’ is as subjective a term as there is. Until the pandemic and the resultant government policy to pay the lower end workers more to sit at home than go to work, $15 seemed like a ‘decent wage’ for entry level unskilled workers. Step daughter will start at guaranteed $20 an hour to spray cars as they are about to enter the car wash. Apparently they all share tips so she is expected to make $25 an hour. The small businesses offering $15 an hour can’t find willing workers.

America's largest reservoir, Lake Mead, which is formed by the iconic Hoover Dam , is on the brink of its first-ever water shortage. Currently the reservoir is only 37% full, and it's heading towards its lowest levels since it opened in the early 1930s.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

This DOJ spying scandal is crazy... I suspect we are going to be learning of a lot more corrupt actions by Donny’s DOJ over the coming months...

It's bad
Really bad
Nobody is surprised
Trump was willing to use Ukraine for politics
Why not use the DOJ for politics
Pretty low

I really miss that place. Years ago I interviewed a woman who said they were not female friendly to get promoted so tell her to be careful. Thought that was 20 years ago.

I do wish they would expand down here. Along with Mighty Taco.

Didn’t conservatives used to mock California for this type of thing?

Conservatives no longer consider access to electricity as important as access to FB and twitter because of Trump

The republicans who run TX are so inept that people think this spoof video is real. It’s trending on Twitter:
