Biden signs EO to raise minimum wage to $15

Because it did happen. Because Dems love War. You need some new news sources Chief and toss out the conspiracy CNN crap you must read. Children will die over your vote. Trump was the only President in all of our lifetimes not to engage in new War. He made the World peaceful and America full of prosperity but now hate has ruled the day.

^unless you were around for Republicans like Ford and Nixon, both part timers, or Carter.

Ok I read up on this more. It is partly true partly false.

1. Weird it isn't in mainstream media. I haven't found reputable sources about this. If you have it please share.

2. The us has operations in Syria and iraq. Those I believe should be ended entirely.

3. One article states It's very common for usa to transfer supplies back and forth between iraq and syria. Which is what happened in this case. And it something that isn't specifically about biden. It's been going on already. But yes you could make a point that he could end this right now. True. But doesn't mean it wasn't happening, and is now happening because of biden.

4. I'm making conclusions from bad sources, as are you. Let's get some good info and go from there.

Boy that's a lot to unpack....

1. Cnn is garbage, I agree.

2. Biden did not start a new conflict with syria. Stop arguing for a minute and read more about this. I've posted about it already.

3. The u.s. has generally been very warmongering and I agree it's terrible and needs to stop.

4. Trump was very good about not starting wars. He did drop some bombs though. But yes, far less than all recent presidents.

5. Trump is a narcissist and bad person in a lot of ways. Regardless of who you vote for. You've gotta be able to at least see that.

6. I didn't vote for biden.

7. I think in general repubs and Dems all love war. It's really a shame.

8. Trump actually did make some inroads to peace like with north korea. Surprising and I'm happy for that even though it was short lived.

I wish people on this board were less argumentative. I clearly have different views than you but can you see how I respond intelligently and politely.

If people tried to find common ground things would go a lot better. That's what I'm trying to do.

Fair points all. Disagree with you far as moving in on Syria. The issue the left has, and will always have, is the fake Russia collusion narrative that they and the media pounded down our throats, in an effort to disrespect our vote. Democracy requires respect for the vote and they abused it. For that, there cannot be peace. Will not be peace as peace is not a one way street. Grandpa Joe will never get it unless it’s forced, as they are currently trying to do. He does not deserve peace.

Of course it's not in the MSM. Why would you expect actions by the USA that put Biden and the establishment would appear in the MSM?

Videos and eyewitnesses not good enuff for you?

Uhhh. One of the trump kids went to a meeting with the Russians to get dirt on Clinton, but it fizzled out.

But - I also don’t believe that the Russians worked with the trump campaign. No collusion. I do believe they hacked the DNC to weaken Clinton - but they probably did that because they saw how horrible trump was going to be as president

Biden's an idiot. If this takes effect enjoy the new things in our country like the McDonald's $10.00 menu, $10.00 dollar General, and you can purchase gifts at the $50.00 below store. I have gone to war and can tell you those countries that have us in there scope are viewing him and his tactics as weak and they will try something.

First, it's federal employees only.

Second, the argument for a national $15 minimum wage is extremely complex. Some people will benefit, others will lose out. It is by no means clear it would be a net positive for the poor.

This would massively disrupt the food services industry. Companies would have to completely restructure their businesses in most places. They would need to move hard towards automation and slash human hours.

At my job we use scribes to improve physician productivity. These are college students getting experience for health care related fields, usual med school or PA school. The pay is minimum wage, but the learning experience is invaluable for them. $15 minimum wage automatically shuts down our scribe program. Hard stop. It's too expensive.

That type of policy might work in wealthy coastal urban centers. But in most places it would have a huge negative impact.

Why even have Free Public Schools if you are going to Flip Burgers and demand $15 a wage?

Biden will restore faith in our Government

My wife and I are both federal. I make $55 an hour and makes $37 an hour. There is no federal employee at my place of working make under $20 an hour.

Finally a president that does something to help those that can barely feed themselves. The USA has had a minimum wage of 7.25 for sooo long. If you work 40 hours a week that is a grand total of $290 before taxes. Please tell me how anyone thinks they could live off that.

This is stupid. Minimum wage isn't meant to be a wage for long term dependence. If you want a livable wage, go get a real job. Inflation is going to make this raise irrelevant too. Don't be a nitwit.

The first job in hs argument is such bs when you realize millions of people are working those jobs. And aren't "first job in hs anyways". It's a cop out to pay people garbage.

Look it up. Number of people paid minimum wage or right above it. And the demographics. It's deplorable.

And no one should be paid so little when ceos have more money than they could ever possibly spend. Why? So it can just sit in their bank accounts doing nothing?

Jealous little socialist. Its none of your business what the "CEO" does with his or her money. Got issues with it? Become a CEO and you can give all YOUR money away.

Raising the minimum wage will also grow the size of the economy, as most of the increases will go right back into the economy in spending, rather than the saving the employers would do with a lot of the money.

If $15/hour is good...wont $30/be twice as good?

We still have the best Military ever, and 330 plus Americans who would give their life for love of Country, We are in great shape.

Gobbledygook. Hypocrite. If you have ANYTHING beyond funding your minimum ability to survive and you haven't given your excess to someone else who has less, dont talk.

$30 should be the minimum hourly wage.
