Donald Trump Says Elon Musk Will Lead 'Government Efficiency' Task Force
  • As Gerrymandered as most red states are now and all the voter suppression tactics, I don’t know “stupid enough” would be the cause. The popular vote WILL go to Kamala. It’s whether the gaming of the electoral system can be overcome.

  • JD Vance says "childless cat lady" comments were a jab at Dem's "anti-parent and anti-child" values
  • Republicans: Dem’s are anti-parent and anti-child

    Also Republicans: No free lunches for children, no child tax credits, no child care assistance, get rid of public schools so you have to pay more, nothing to help make children affordable.

  • It has now been 15 years since the federal minimum wage rose to $7.25
  • Dude, what are you talking about? I live in rural Indiana. I also realize that cost of living is not the same in every area and making the minimum wage one flat rate creates problems when the cost of living is not flat. This is common sense, not a bias against “flyover states” like the one I live in. That’s why I said it should be pegged to cost of living reports that are already conducted by the government across every region of the country. This way if rent goes up, it would automatically be accounted for and adjusted.

  • It has now been 15 years since the federal minimum wage rose to $7.25
  • No, but the same food and lodging costs drastically different based on location in this country. A New York City cost of living would bankrupt small businesses in rural Nebraska who also price their services based on regional costs. It’s just more logical than a flat minimum wage for the whole country.

  • It has now been 15 years since the federal minimum wage rose to $7.25
  • Minimum wage should not be voted on by congress. It should be pegged to cost of living by region. The government already does all this measuring of cost of living by region. Make the minimum 125% of cost of living and be done with it. It’s clear congress can’t handle the task.

  • Privacy Focused DNA test

    With 23 and Me getting into selling information for added revenue, the privacy of DNA testing providers makes me not want to use the service. Can anyone recommend a privacy focused DNA testing company that has a good track record?
