In Denmark, McDonalds workers make $25 an hour and, if they are over twenty, the company starts paying into a pension plan for them, and in addition they have a full 6 weeks of paid vacation.
Now how much do you think this costs customers? The Economist looked into this and found out that the Big Mac costs 76 cents less than it does here.
Don't believe the lies that raising the minimum wage would force prices to go up.
BREAKING: O.M.G. The woman accusing Graham Platner of "intimidation" has been EXPOSED as a top Republican operative who has worked with his opponent, Susan Collins!
This is EXACTLY what they did to Al Franken…
On Thursday evening, the New York Times ran a story in which a woman, Lindsey Fifield, accused Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner of grabbing her by the arm, twisting her arm, and of standing in a doorway menacingly blocking her exit.
The New York Times could not corroborate any of her accusations, but ran the story anyway, along with allegations from a few other women that Graham Platner could be unsettling, had dark thoughts, and generally had spooky vibes as a boyfriend.
They also spoke to several other women who said he was a lovely boyfriend and they happily supported his candidacy.
It’s now coming out that Lindsey Fifeld is a lifelong GOP operative who has worked with Platner’s Republican opponent, Susan Collins, and successfully persuaded her to vote in favor of Brett Kavanaugh, Trump’s Supreme Court justice who is an ACTUAL rapist.
In one message to a friend, Fifeld wrote “I will personally go campaign for Collins.”
Reporter Ryan Grim at Drop Site News reports that “In 2014, Fifield began work as digital director for American Action Network, a Republican Super PAC that oversees House races. The next year she became social media manager for the Heritage Foundation, where she stayed for the next seven years.”
“In 2022, she joined the Super PAC backing Nikki Haley for president, switching to the official campaign side the next year, and staying until the campaign flamed out. She now lists herself as a visiting fellow at the Independent Women’s Forum, a prominent dark money group that is best known for helping usher Brett Kavanaugh on to the Supreme Court and giving Susan Collins the talking points she needed to make her decisive speech in his favor.“
“The NYT breezed past all this, saying she was ‘a Virginia conservative who has worked for right-leaning groups and Republican campaigns.’”
“Meanwhile, the timeline Fifield gives of their relationship is confusing, because during at least some of that time she was actually dating a different person, her longterm boyfriend who became her fiancee before she called off the wedding in 2018. We all know this because she and [Zionist extremist Bethany] Mandel did a podcast episode on it that went mega-viral in Republican circles back then.”
It should be noted as well that Lindsey Fifeld has a long history of making up baseless lies about Palestinians targeted by the Trump administration like Mahmoud Khalil and Rumeysa Ozturk.
Folks, pardon our French, but this is *bullshit.*
This is an abhorrent attempt to weaponize domestic violence and the mental trauma of dealing with PTSD in order to sink a leftist candidate who staunchly opposes the Israeli genocide of Gaza.
Oh, and if that wasn't enough, the reporter on this article is Katie Gluek, an ardent Zionist whose parents are Israeli settler-occupiers in the West Bank.
Platner’s campaign responded with “Let’s be very clear: This is a lifelong G.O.P. operative who’s dedicated her career to electing Republicans.”
What else is there to say?
Graham Platner is obviously a very imperfect person, but we are not electing him to be our boyfriend. He has been very open about his struggles with PTSD; he saw four of his squadmates killed in an IED explosion in Iraq.
This smear campaign, based on uncorroborated allegations by a woman who literally said she would work for his opponent, is part of his punishment for being a progressive who isn’t afraid to stand against Israel, to stand against the health insurance behemoths, and to demand a better life for the American people.
They managed to sink Al Franken like this. They will NOT succeed again!
🇺🇸 Trump : " İran'lı Kadınların haklarının da savunucusuyum, Onlar beni seviyor "
🇮🇷 İran: " O bir pedofili, kadınlara ve küçük kızlara nasıl baktığını herkes biliyor,yapmaya çalıştığı kendi pisliğini kapatmak için bize saldırmak "
BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly terrified that #EvictTheTrumps is going viral globally, and it’ll convince more countries to do Albania-style protests against their governments to demand all his real estate properties be shut down so they can’t be used for sex-trafficking.
🚨TRUMP IS NOT WELL
This rally is a bust. He’s seated. He’s mixing up major details.
He just claimed he pardoned a farmer in prison for seven YEARS for fixing a tractor. He was as a diesel mechanic in prison for seven MONTHS for tampering emissions. Trump’s mind is mush.
ABD'li dünyaca ünlü yazar Stephen King:
"Trump, Amerika’nın damarlarına zerk edilmiş bir tümördür. Kendi narsist egosu için koca bir ülkeyi ateşe vermekten çekinmeyen bir tiran bozuntusudur. Yazdığım hiçbir korku hikayesi, bu adam kadar ürkütücü olamaz."
🚨 BOMBSHELL: The entire crypto market has completely collapsed under the disastrous Trump administration.
He wiped out a staggering 80% of major assets while his family tokens plummeted 99%. The White House is almost intentionally destroying entire crypto market!
I LOVE how @NicolleDWallace is covering this, with the same gusto the right wing went after Biden.
The White House SWEARS trump was wide awake yesterday, but we all know what wide awake is, don't we? trump was OUT.
He is a total laughingstock.
25th Amendment NOW
BREAKING: #EvictTheTrumps is going viral worldwide with more countries planning protests like the recent Albanian riot to force their governments to revoke all licenses, permits, and other ties with the Trump family's businesses and real estate holdings.
BREAKING: Leader Hakeem Jeffries just announced that Democrats will support legislation that permanently bans Donald Trump's taxpayer funded slush fund for January 6th Insurrectionists. Let's go.
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke and they kept it a secret. FDR couldn't walk and they kept it a secret. Eisenhower had heart attacks and they kept it a secret. Reagan had colon cancer and dementia and they kept it a secret. Trump's health is much worse than whatever they let us see.
