But you didn't answer the damn question
[QUOTE=Tiny12;2970237]I don't understand why you two bicker. You're two peas in a pod. The duly elected representatives of the people of Idaho shouldn't decide the minimum wage in Idaho. Instead Bernie Sanders and other politicians in Washington should. And the people of New York City, one of the wealthier cities in the world, shouldn't fund their own policing. That should be up to Democrats in Washington to direct too.
That's crazy IMHO, and anti-democratic. Government should be closest to the people whenever that makes sense. The people of Idaho should decide how they'll be governed, not Bernie Sanders. And New Yorkers should pay for their own policing.[/QUOTE]What if Alabama says 5 cents an hour? Duly elected representatives? How about at the county level or the village of 27 people level?
It's easy to see they would have a race to the BOTTOM, of who could pay less
BTW I wish there were a maximum wage also

That's it.
If anyone wants to "teach" the Democratic Party a lesson about why Trump won instead of Harris, the only pro-active measure to recommend is to get into those 3 states early and often in 2028 and start pandering to the Muslim Community and catering particularly to the Muslim Community Leadership in those three states.
That is what the Republican Party will be doing. Without question. They know.
Otherwise, the greatest "messenger" for the Dems will be Presidents Musk, Ramaswamy and Bannon, their assistant Trump and, most importantly, their horrific economic and foreign policy and stewardship results over the next four years. They are already jacking up prices for goods, products and mortgage loans just by "talking" about what they're going to start doing on Day One.
I see a struck a nerve lololol
[QUOTE=Tiny12;2970358]Yes I did answer the question. Politicians like Bernie Sanders have no business telling Idahoans and Alabamans what to do. I don't give a flying fuck what the minimum wage is in Idaho, Alabama, California, New York or any other place where I don't live. And I'm not so arrogant as to believe that my views should be imposed on people in those states. Like many Libertarians, I don't give a crap either if you decide to whack off your penis, buy new breasts, and start calling yourself the Marquesa de Sade. In fact, more power to you. Maybe you could take up a new career as a dominatrix and pull down the big bucks.
And of course you want a maximum wage. That fits right in with the Bernie Bros' extreme left ideology. You really should pay more attention to your links. Manchin is talking about your favorite politicians.
Trump would never claim you. You're a socialist and farther to the right on social issues than he is. Trump may say differently, but like me he doesn't really give a fuck what bathroom a Trannie uses, just as long as that Trannie votes for him or buys something from him.
Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller might claim you though.
What do you notice about that kid? He's not obese like a lot of American youngsters. He's energetic. He sure as hell can outrun you. If he keeps up a calorie restricted diet, he'll likely live a lot longer than he would otherwise. That's been proven true in rats, dogs, and monkeys, and it's almost certainly true among humans. So stop complaining.
Oh yeah, and good on Biden for commuting those 37 death sentences to life in prison. If there's anything that's truly evil, it's the state directing the execution of its citizens.
"Then Peter came up and said to him, 'Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him?' Jesus answered him, 'I say to you, not up to seven times, but seventy times seven'"
"Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven"
Or, the version I prefer,
[b]Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.[/b]
- The Reverend Tiny[/QUOTE]You're an evil Libertarian like Nick Gilespie or Chas Koch.
I love Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller both would be great Presidents, I'm guessing better than Trump.
Stephen Miller the first Hebrew Nazi for President 2028!!
I'd say nice try but NOT, Manchin and I agree probably agree on 99% of issues.

Elections have consequences
Hey, congratulations, MAGAs, admitted Repubs, pretend Bothsider / Neithersiders, pretend Independents, those decisive 114,900 angry Muslims in PA, MI and WI and any other suckers who didn't vote all Dem straight down your ballot this year!
There is now no doubt about it; the assistant to the assistant to the assistant Presidents-elect, Donald J. Trump, has definitely increased the cost of cargo containers and shipments, which will be added to the price of all those goods and products to be paid for by the American Consumer and no one else AND the cost of the "American Dream" of owning a home, an added cost that typically extends throughout the decades of most borrowers' mortgage loan.
And he has done that just by flappin' his yappy pie-hole over and over again about keeping his economically disastrous campaign promises, even before he takes his Lie of Office and even if he realizes he hasn't got the slightest clue how to do anything nor the slightest bit of energy to do it and decides to just play lots and lots and lots of golf for the next for years and nothing else:
[B]The Fed cut interest rates but mortgage costs jumped. Here's why[/B]
[URL]https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/20/why-mortgage-rates-jumped-despite-fed-interest-rate-cut.html?__source=androidappshare[/URL]
[QUOTE]The Federal Reserve on Wednesday cut interest rates for the third time in 2024. Despite the move, mortgage rates increased.
The 30-year fixed rate mortgage spiked to 6.72% for the week ending Dec. 19, a day after the Fed meeting, according to Freddie Mac data via the Fed. That is up from 6.60% from a week prior.
.........
To understand that disconnect, it is important to remember that mortgage rates closely follow the Treasury yields and are only slightly affected by the federal funds rate. [B]Mortgage rates climbed in November as the bond market reacted to Donald Trumps election win.
..........
"That, in conjunction with Trumps desired policies on tariffs, immigration and tax cuts which are all inflationary spooked the bond market"[/b], Cohn said.[/QUOTE]It could very well turn out that adding at least 20% to the cost of everything is the only campaign promise Donald J. Trump keeps.
Oh well.
