If they work in a tip share restaurant, they have to definitely report them. They can end up losing money in certain instances.

True true. Most should work in that environment, I doubt most do.

Outside of people working in the fields slinging lettuce I cant think of a single job that pays only minimum wage. Waiters and Waitresses dont count since they work for tips and never report that income. Most of them are well over $15 an hour and they dont even know it. The $15 an hour thing is one of the biggest hoax/myths perpetuated by left wingers, right next to "the wage gap".

In 1964, minimum wage was $1.25. Back then, people were paid with 90% silver coins. So in essence, they were paid five 90% silver quarters per hour. That is roughly .90 troy ox of silver, which would be about $13.55 on May 1, 2020.

They $15/hr rant isn't that far off of what people were paid 60 years ago (adjusted for inflation).

Karen is a reference to White women who are sticks in the mud. Apparently Karen is a stereotypical White peoples name (I dont know any Karens). Jenny is a reference to a white chick a black dude is f##king while his black chick is "unawares"...

I love VN. I'm learning stuff all of the time.

No its not. Its called apathy. Democrats are neck deep in it... and mix in massive despondency and you have yourself recipe for disaster for the left.. Or a banana fosters served by bisexual Swedish bikini models for the right.

That is not true. Democrats are united in their disgust for Trump. Voter turnout was higher than expected during the primaries and caucuses. Democrats would crawl over broken glass to vote against Trump. That is not apathy. Biden was nominated, not because he inspires anyone, but because he is viewed as the most practical opposition to Trump. I really believe that Trump helped Biden garner the Democratic Party nomination by making it so obvious that he didn't want to face him in the general election. Trump's actions with Ukrainian President Zelensky make it very clear that Biden was the candidate that Trump didn't want to face... that did wonders to help make Biden's best (and only) argument for the nomination - he was the most viable opposition.

You know what would make political debates more interesting? Hooking up the candidates to lie detectors. That or shooting them up with sodium pentathol before the debates begin.

How about just sitting them down at putting a gallon of JD in front of them for 2 hours. The first 30 minutes or so would be pretty vanilla, but the last 90 minutes would be interesting.

That would prevent Trump from debating though because he doesn't drink. But then again, even a sober Trump would be interesting.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Can't have easy voting. Those Red Hats didn't get the memo about how mail in ballots will bring about full blown communism.

It's never been an issue about convenience. It has been an issue with regards to voter integrity.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Still: papers. Precedence has been set and then you scare the devil out of everyone and anything becomes possible.

I can see it now: you want out of quarantine? Papers.

I think you are missing his point.

Lol. No they won't. They can't even pay their bills.

OK, I read an ABC article on this:

Trust, testing and tracing: How South Korea succeeded where the US stumbled in coronavirus response

I don't think the cultural differences, including trust in the government, would be conducive for such measures in the US. Perhaps if they really, really scare us good, better than they have already? How do you get compliance without crossing into dangerous territory with regards to liberty/rights?

Have you been paying attention the last 2 months? They can do it as an emergency measure.

We assumed you already were.

Lol, nope eaking out that living.

And is Biden offering an optimistic view of the future? Or is he just saying Truman is a bad man and pickles are his favorite breath mint?

Truman??? Is Biden that old?

Joe Biden Again Says ‘Intercourse’ When Discussing Trump’s Coronavirus Response

Former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee, again bizarrely used the term “intercourse” when discussing President Donald Trump’s response to the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.

“The pandemic is the president has no intercourse whatsoever with the rest of the world on dealing with these things,” Biden said during an interview with MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Friday.

Biden then recounted the Obama administration’s response to the 2014 Ebola crisis by mistakenly referring to the deadly illness as the “coronavirus” outbreak, before quickly correcting himself. “Barack Obama led on the corona — I mean, excuse me — in the pandemic that occurred when we were in office. It was kept in Africa. We organized the world, we put things together.”

Biden first used the term “intercourse” during a Monday interview with CBS4 Miami, when asked if he would restore funding to the World Health Organization, which President Trump halted in response to its actions with China at the start of the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan.

Lol. No they won't. They can't even pay their bills.

That is dumb.... and totally inappropriate at a time when 30 million Americans have been put out of work in the last 6 weeks. As I have frequently pointed out in the past, 8 of the 10 poorest states in this country are bright red states (Mississippi, West Virginia, Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Kentucky, South Carolina and Oklahoma).

 

[NurseGoodVol]

I'm kind of behind the curve on this "Karen" thing. I've heard it mentioned a few times over the last few days. What is that a reference to?

Best answer I've found...
What does being a ‘Karen’ mean? - Quora

Now that is a "journalist" with an agenda.

Oh boy...Here we go..Inappropriate? Dims couldnt pay their bills before and they can't now. What has changed? Who screeches about free school and debt forgiveness? Democrats. Why? They are poor AF and can't pay their bills. Science.

Now those "poor" states..outside of West Virginia...they are the most diverse states in the Union. Guess who the poorest of the poor are there? (secret hint pro tip: it isn't White people who vote Republican).

Joe Biden Again Says 'Intercourse' When Discussing Coronavirus

Per Merriam-Webster.com:

The Definition of the English word "Intercourse": noun .... in-ter-course

(1) : connection or dealings between persons or groups.

(2) : exchange especially of thoughts or feelings : communion.

(3) : physical sexual contact between individuals that involves the genitalia of at least one person.

********************

If Breitbart thinks that Joe Biden's use of this word is bizarre, then maybe they should take three seconds and look up the definition of "intercourse", so they could see that there is more than just one meaning of the word? Any 3rd grader should understand that Biden's usage applied to the 1st definition shown above, which can be easily found on "merriam-webster.com". The only thing strange is that the people at Breitbart either didn't know that "intercourse" doesn't necessarily only refer to "sexual intercourse" - in which case, they were either too lazy to look it up, or they are just plain ignorant... or perhaps even both... or maybe they are the pervs, who are only capable of applying the use of any English word to any possible sexual connotation?

No, thanks. I would much rather make fun of the people at Breitbart for not knowing that the word "intercourse" had more than just one meaning, while the Volnation poster known as @Franklin Pierce apparently didn't have a clue either, or he wouldn't have posted that as an intended swipe at Joe Biden.
