@RogerGalligan Hamas has committed multiple acts of war against Israel for decades. They started a war, and are losing.
They continue firing rockets even during "ceasefires".
They use civilians as human shields.
This would all end tomorrow if Hamas surrendered.
Raising the minimum wage ensures MORE people make ZERO. It eliminates jobs.
Cashiers are replaced with self-service. Four servers are replaced with two servers and an expediter.
Fresh food replaced with pre-prepared, half the cooks lose their jobs.
Some businesses just close, and EVERYONE loses their job.
@AlZeidenfeld The real minimum wage is zero. Some people make more, and others end up out of a job.
Keep raising the min wage, more people are unemployed, more people are homeless.
Or is that the plan? To make more people dependent on the government?
@mentze85196 July and August are rough, but as I get older, I can't take the Colorado winter cold anymore.
There's more livable days in FL than anywhere but California. And no income tax and lower cost of living is quite nice, as well.
@richsra@RealAirPower1 Bullshit. You can't miss fast enough to win.
It's very easy to miss, easier at high speeds, you can empty the magazine on Vulcan very, very quickly.

@MattisRedacted Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive ...
Those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

@rsayre@CynicalPublius@infantrydort Because headquarters always loses sight of the purpose of the mission. Not just DOW/DOD, but EVERY headquarters of EVERY organization.
They get wrapped up in the administrative battles, the political correctness, the flavor of the month.
It needs a hard reboot.
