I mean the evangelical security guard last known registered as a Republican, best friend said was Republican, and spoke out openly against pro choice democrats to the extent of making a list and murdering families and injuring others was actively voiced as being left leaning by the media simply because it helps their narrative. I don't think they are looking to verify anything.

"Our intelligence reports say they are not making nuclear weapons" -i dont care, we are bombing them. "Our intelligence reports say the facilities weren't completely obliterated" -i dont care, your intelligence is fake news because it doesn't fit our narrative.

Minimum wage is current around $16 there. Standardly you put a plan in place with a set date and partial increases up to that day to allow companies time to plan and get ready. For instance the last time federal minimum wage increased, it rolled out as such

"The 2007 amendments increased the minimum wage to $5.85 per hour effective July 24, 2007; $6.55 per hour effective July 24, 2008; and $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009. "

7.25 was what they said they were going to go to, but rolled it out slowly to prepare everyone.

16-30 in a 4 year roll out makes sense

People act like $30/hr is high. Note this would be the mayor of NYC, so it would be raised for NYC only if he got his way. The cheapest place you can get to live on your own there I am finding is 2600 a month. So say you made 30/hr. That's $62,400 working 40 hours a week. Take out Federal/state/city taxes ends up being around $46,112 take home. The place costed $31,200. Making the lowest rent findable in Manhattan 2/3 of $30/hr.

They wouldn't be able to get approved to even live there if they tried. They would have to rent a room from someone else with a 4 bedroom place renting to 4 people for around $1200/ month. And share bathrooms/kitchen/living space with people. And they would still struggle to get by if they paid for health insurance, travel costs to and from work, food, and the whole living crap.

$30 isn't radical for NYC, it's like base needed salary... And hope you have a good stable relationship with someone else making the same, then maybe you can get your own place together, just don't do something stupid like get pregnant because you can't afford to not go to work, and can't afford to put them in daycare so you would both have to uproot and move real quick finding jobs elsewhere.

You know something is strange when the president somehow is starting out with higher disapproval than approval.

When people ask have that parties always been this divided, I think those numbers show we never had this much divide before. Before it was, well I like this candidate, but the other guy we'll see how he does before shitting on him. Then the disapproval raises throughout their term.

This may be the first time I've seen the words "no worries" in any political comment section on here

I never sold my soul but I know some people who would be wondering where the "World of Warcraft" was.

Spain helped put clothes on the backs and guns in thehands of the soilders to ensure they won the revolution against the British. While John Adams grabbed much of his influence on the laws being created from Spanish influence. Things like Taxation without representation Adams and Locke directly source the Spanish. "Life Liberty and Property".. was sourced from Spanish rightings/law.

Throw in that Spain owned what became the Louisiana Purchase from 1762 to 1801 (in which the American Revolution occurred) I doubt they were looked upon as not people. France, Spain, American Revolutionaries vs Great Britain was the over arcing war at the time.

We only bought it from France because it was traded right before back to France for Tuscany, a treaty with Napoleon where the king of Spain wanted to give Tuscany to his daughter.
