"$15/hr will kill small businesses" is this true?

Looking for some discussion on this. I am supportive if $15/hr but I do admit I might not be looking at all the angles. Is there a concern there that small business owners will not be able to compete with larger companies? Will this push out small businesses? I have always been of the mind that if you cannot pay a living wage that your business model is broken.

Anyone else listen to AM950?

I am just about done listening and supporting them. The new morning show Santita Jackson. Her show is constantly riddled with anti-democratic party propaganda. Today she had guests and callers calling in calling the Democratic party the enemy of black people.

This seems to be a common thread because although I don’t always catch her, it seems when I do there is a guest spewing similar rhetoric.

Can anyone else agree or disagree? Or maybe I am way off base?

Was there new footage yesterday?

Does anyone know where I can find it?

Sorry to start a new post about it but I need to find it.

Welcome to the persistence.

We cannot afford another 2010. We need to expand and make sure that our elected politicians are working for us.


Today we get to celebrate and tomorrow we start asking where do we go next! I am super excited about Stacey Abrams taking fair fight to Texas!

If it goes to the supreme court then what?

If it makes it there and his appointees, Thomas and Alito install him as president... then what? What happens then? I know people are going to reply that it won't happen. But I'm sorry there are countless things that weren't going to happen. Honestly what do we do then?

Tweets not showing up in posts.

All I get is link to tweet. Is there a browser compliance issue on my end?

I am running Chrome on a macbook pro.

Trump's easiest way to 270!

Is if he loses about 100 lbs!

I just can't stand this. I know they have to get the vote right but

I cannot stand the yo-yo he's going to win, he isn't going to win. PA is in the bag, it's going to be close. Nevada is done, not-so-fast. Blah blah blah blah blah.

My nerves are completely shot. My eyes are blood shot and I think I need a shot!

This has to end. The country can't keep sitting on pins and needles.

We need to be better prepared regarding GOP tricks

We were not informed well enough and not active enough in the runup to trump’s presidency in terms of the groundwork that the GOP was laying. The lack of fed judge confirmations should have had half the country up in arms. The KNEW what they were doing and the KNEW that they would have a candidate in the white house to fill those positions. When it came to Garland we should have had pitchforks and clubs because that was criminal.

We need to be watching what tricks they are laying with McConnell in leadership role again if that holds. I will not sleep on the job this time around.

When will we get more count totals?

I seriously cannot take this anymore. My retinas are burning out from staring at screens.
