1. trump tries to make america become dysfunctional and frozen up and distracted by making it attack itself through the jan 6 psyops riot at the capital, and then investigating itself. if that doesnt cause dysfunction and gridlock in government what will right? trump figures it will make it much easier then to take advantage while our government implodes. its all a distraction. you figure kamala harris would investigate things right? thats what trump wants, to drag her into his mess. kamala should instead be busy telling the parlimentarian to take a hike and disregard her opinion that the robert byrd rule should apply. why? so america gets the 1.9 emergency trillion covid and minimum wage bill passed intact. if mitch mcconnell can fire a parlimentarian and hire a new one that lets him and all republicans have their way then why cant kamala do the same? we need to get rid of the filibuster and the byrd rule and get this bill passed with the $15 dollar wage left in it. america needs help now. kamala needs to move now and flex her muscles to show mcconnell and the parlimentarian and the corrupt senate and trump and those seditious fascists who is boss. she needs to take control and save america from financial ruin by disreguarding the parlimentarian and passing the bill intact by passing the bill with 51 votes. she has every right and americas blessing to do so . the slavery enabling filibuster and byrd rule does not apply and in fact must be abolished. time for joe and kamala to step up and make america whole again.

2. Kick em while their down why dontcha !!
   Like small businesses haven't already been closing their doors left and right.
   This shouldn't be. Wrong time to be expecting everyone especially small businesses already struggling to pay more.
   What a stupid idea.

   The Sad thing is, as soon as employees get tbe Increase the Employers will cut tbete hours!! Some folks will never get ahead, especially folks with children.

13. 001. American People do your RESEARCH. Be objective and listen to all News and all other platforms. You will see the truth. Wake up Americans!!! I believed in Democrat, then I started doing my own Research because the main News Media, I noticed they were lying repeating the same stuff to push the narrative and agendas. Talk is cheap, Research and correct knowledge is priceless. I was born into a Democratic family

14. Time to finish moving my company's overseas

15. Due in is a moron

16. Yes, lets give the US dollar even less power.. it's time!

17. Pay cut for all of the corrupt congress!

18. Give our service workers some dignity and raise the minimum wage to a an income they can live on without having to work two or three jobs! You people got some nerve! You’re killing the people especially since most can’t afford the no nothing employer insurance policy or live in a stupid state without expanded Medicaid or high open market rates with no offered subsidies as was proposed by ACA! But labor is cheap and replaceable! Our nation stinks and it’s no wonder people have such a low opinion of government who we pay six figures to keep us down and their corporate buddies in dividends and corporate campaign contributions for the same government officials! How corrupt! This is one of the reasons nobody wants to belong to either party and fear the other ones motives! It’s a sshhtt show!

19. all you do with raising the minimum wage is getting rid of the low paying jobs, its not like all of a sudden businesses can afford to pay workers more. Well, I guess some can like amazon who profit off billion dollar government contracts.

20. The cost of goods and services reflect minimum wage, if minimum wage goes up, so does the cost of goods and services.

    So you end up with roughly the same purchasing power, but now the federal reserve bank has printed a ton of money and the USD has lost value. (Because when there's more of something, it's devalued, when less it's more rare and therefore more valuable)

    Sorry America, you're in a recession now.

21. Like this guy, he is talking sense.

22. Jesus Christ Is the same yesterday today and forever…

23. Raise minimum wage. Best way to put those last remaining struggling family restaurants out of business

24. Its been time. Should have been raised to $15, 30 years ago.

25. Yeah, let’s destroy more small businesses.

26. There shouldn't be a disagreement about the $15 minimum wage increase. Four years should be more than enough time for businesses to make financial projections and budget adjustments. If not, they shouldn't be in business.
