@ScottPresler Yep, we did it in Florida and now those same people who wanted $15/hr minimum wage are crying because they can't afford groceries or fast food AND teenagers can't find jobs because nobody wants to pay them $15/hr.
@MissingLink5_@BridgetKaneFL We did that research. That's why we voted yes. Because they have the budget with the exemption to lose NONE of those things.
@alyssamariiee11 And also that life should be more affordable but you shouldn't vote for property tax relief because its you duty as a tax payer to just give the government what they say they need.
@PKPatchworks The McDonald's near us has never taken down its Now Hiring sign in the last 6 years. All 3 of my kids applied and had interviews. None got hired. Two got their lifeguard certification and became lifeguards instead.
@dstaples His team has been a first round exit for 4 years and last year the Captain left the team hanging because he didn't feel like playing. Good for him. Completely unsurprising.
@SIGzero989@RepRyanC@EndPropTaxNow You are literally the dumbest person on the internet today. Congratulations. Not one brain cell working to produce any of this AI slop.
First- the early voting isn't convenient to Rs. In Lakeland they're low income areas and the people who live there aren't R. It's during the workday 9 am - 6 pm.
Second - Democrats send out info to their voters on how to request a mail in ballot and reminders to do it. Republicans just take it for granted people will show up.
It won't be +30 again but the sky isn't falling yet either.
Early voting? For sure. I mean R's mostly vote day of. Early voting in Polk is at Simpson Park. It's specifically for people with no car in that neighborhood. They're not voting R. Rs vote in their polling place the day of because it's convenient. I have 2 jobs, I don't have time to travel to an area of town I never go to during a workday.
@jgent15 What's weird is they had 50 years to convince everyone to change to permanent standard time if they were so passionate but nobody cared enough but Arizona.
@DonPJenn@JasonStiff Not in a time anyone who works or has a young family was alive. In fact we extended it 20 years ago and no one cared. Time to extend it again
