Boebert should serve them some of her pork sliders; then they wouldn't be around to COLLECT those unemployment checks.
(Her pork sliders sickened a bunch of people at a rodeo in 2017. Now, the saying in Colorado is, "Not my first rodeo with bloody diarrhea&quot

Thought it was genius on Pelosi’s part. Once people learn what a living wage feels like they aren’t going back.

The republicans quickly realized what they had agreed to but the barn door was already open and the horse was gone.

In Florida we hear a lot about lack of workers and jobs that can’t be filled. But until they pay a decent wage they won’t be filled. And our unemployment rate is 4.8%. So not a lot of people on the dole. Which is the Republican reason for lack of workers.

I learned a long time ago that supply and demand does nothing for labor. Despite what I learned in University Economics. For the first time in my life labor has the power. And even with no organization are making their own decisions.

Why work 50 hours a week to live in poverty when you can not work and live in poverty?

We are approaching a time where unions could make a major comeback with good leadership.
