Isn't this like the first step in the establishment of fascism

Have your general squash or dissenters in the ranks.

That sounds like a ~~shake down for a bribe~~ perfectly legal solicitation for a campaign contribution.

Not good for any type of boot. I bought a pair on clearance from Sears. Legit wanted a pair of steel toe work boots for yard work and other work around the house. After about 3 years of light wear the soul started to fall away.

I would have been better off with a cheap work boot from Walmart.

The excess is also insane. When people can't afford or won't afford the high beef prices, will the corporations who make it produce less or take it to market to be used in more sustainable products? As a society we've moved to not just make sure enough food is available but that everyone has an opportunity to purchase anything they might want. With fresh foods that means guaranteed waste, which means higher prices to make up for that waste.

My great grandparents ran a grocery store in a very small town. My grandfather ran a butcher counter that he got regular deliveries for and everyone in town knew the schedule, once the meat was gone, that was it until the next delivery. They grew produce in the summer and always canned any excess. There was always enough food for everyone who cared to buy it, but there wasn't so much that everyone could get everything at any time.

Or maybe the simplest reason, don't expose the mad king to too much public scrutiny. Having trump speak at an event like this is a benefit to Trump, not the NRA. Just as it is a benefit, it is a detriment if his health and mental ability are in question.

How dare you be present! That's just going to result in emotionally grounded adults with a sense of belonging.

How exactly is this unconstitutional? Where in the Constitution do we have a right to privacy? SCOTUS has ruled in past cases that some portions of the Constitution create zones of privacy or protect against government intrusion, BUT they most recently ruled in Dobbs that a woman's medical decisions should not be private.

 
  • Most tipped workers already don't pay federal taxes.
  • Increasing the tipped minimum would do more.

Edit: really there should be no minimum lower than the hourly minimum.
