while we are talking about economic stimulus i thought i’d bring up the $15 minimum wage.
pros and cons?.
Pro: only an adjustment of the original starting wage ( meant for parttime children dren according to one source
Con: basic costs follow the supply of money. Too many people stay in starting positions and never learn a skill.
Other wages would have to rise to attract schooled people. A corollary of this is the tuition increase ehen the government attempted to increase college attendance
do you think there will be another round of stimulus checks?

I would settle for a sheet of plywood. Can anyone say Weimar republic?
the new york times as well as other news agencies are reporting that in order to help save the planet we should limit our daily bathing.
they say daily bathing really because popular in the 20th century because elites decided to impress and use petroleum based soaps and take advantage of their indoor plumbing.
a lot of this daily bathing ritual was just for show.

So true. Looking back through my rosy glasses we had ( and still have as family memorabilia ) durable useful stuff. Cars you could work on ( and had to) The mansions of old were not much much larger than the homes few can afford being built now.
I do not want a 1914 (😊) dentist or surgeon though. The hippie movement of the 70s brought back scabies, lice and other 3rd world ailments; now the old hippies are in the driver's seat.
he’s really implementing the democrats agenda!
he’s wasting no time !.
Woke: becoming aware that conceptions of family, gender, race we had are WRONG we have to embrace in your face transgenderism, climate change , no race difference in crime ( economics is the root) , white males are automatically bad. All this at peril of being " disfellowshipped".

Shower with a friend. On the lawn.

i have a question.. have every member of the governing body (past and present) been american citizens?.
while i understand that some may have been born outside of the us, ultimately to serve in the world hq long term, i imagine that they all had to become 'americans'?.

GB would have green card as non employed special case?
There were a bunch of religions that came out of america in the 1800s, partly because of improving economic circumstances and immigration
don't know how many of y'all still watch it.. this month's topic is "the king of the north" - cook goes into monotonous detail over the jw interpretation about rome, germany, ussr, russia, etc.. leaving aside for other commentators the emotionally manipulative videos of jws in russian holding cells, the tearjerker interviews, the god-awful stiffness of cook (i suspect he has never genuinely smiled, much less laughed, in his 60+ years), just thought i'd comment on one topic.. the centerpiece of the program is a "morning worship" monologue from splane.
let's again just leave to the side the dude's pomposity, smugness, and inflated sense of his own genius, and think about this part of his monologue.. he was tracing the history of the "king of the north" and talked about how "britain" (not england, not the united kingdom, not great britain, but "britain" - no idea why they have that fixation - anyway...) became the kotn in the 19th century.. paraphrasing his comments: "britain would not have become kotn if france had its way.
france was much wealthier and more powerful, but at the battle of waterloo, britain defeated france.
Adverse weather. .. Conservatives have a car. Liberals have bicycles. Conservatives have control of their life. Liberals rely on somebody else( government) to pick up the slack.
This ought to calm the debate (;

so, in a couple weeks, the jws move on in their bible-reading slog to the book of deuteronomy.. take a gander at deuteronomy 23:12,13:.
a private place should be designated for use outside the camp, and there is where you should go.

Nobody ever got diarrhea? I think one scenario has a long parade with ones arriving while others are still leaving.
I think the stories are enhanced versions of some real event. Maybe a few hundred exiles crossed the desert. Maybe there was one helluva big rain, david and Jonathan fought off 5 men standing back to back...on and on.
