Excellent points!!!! Minimum wages must be raised and you're right, not everyone in the service industry gets tips. What Walz has accomplished in Minnesota (my birth state) is something I'd like to see implemented at the national level.

Trump getting his cheeks clapped - losing in polls, losing in fundraising

Kamala Harris needs to define the no tax on tips as just for the restaurant and hospitality. Trump wants to extend to all money made off Wall Street trades too!

Yes a minimum wage increase has to be on the table.

Tips are a big help for service workers but how long w it take.

A hike in the minimum wage should come first.

Kamala Harris is a creature of the oligarchs. Her relationship with wealthy donors and the impracticality of her economic policies contributes to this critique, i.e. the $500 million she received from California donors during her 2016 Senate run, which included major contributions from tech executives and media moguls. Her reliance on wealthy donors compromises her ability to advocate for policies that genuinely benefit the working class and frames her as an elite agent.

Yes, they will be fooled. Like the voters that only watch Fox. Seniors enjoying a very comfortable retirement will vote Trump.

These ppl even the religious, young and old believe all his garbage. It's hard to understand. They believe he can make it an all white American Regime. And he will be the crowned orange puppet.

There's no way they would let him

try to change anything. The authors and some past administration

participants in Trump's admin, have contributed to it.

Fox should show a docu on Russia and what life is like there. Maybe it will open their eyes.

No one is going to read a 900-page book, but you can listen to the chapters you find interesting. https://oxfordcommamedia.substack.com/podcast/.

It's an audio recording of Project 2025's book "Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise".

It's a labor of love for our Progressive, Democrat, Independent, or sane Republican friends. It will always be free, no paywall.
