    Interesting move trying to sneak $15 minimum wage into this bill. You know, because what struggling businesses need right now is larger payroll expenses than the ones they already cannot afford.

    If they aren’t actively trying to close down small business they do a good job of pretending like they are.

    No one was trying to sneak that into the bill. It has been publicly known and discussed since his bill was introduced.

    And just so you know...

    "Mr. Biden’s stimulus package would increase the wage to $15 per hour by 2025"

    It was no big deal to Republicans when Trump did it, so it’s no big deal now. Quit trolling Dame. You’re clogging the fuck outta threads with Republican tit for tat..........they don’t need any more encouragement than their stunted minds and rampant paranoia already give them.

    Edit: Gaitz is an opportunist who wants to appear to be above the fray, yet wants everyone to know that the FEMA pick has a history. In other words, he’s playing both sides for everything he can get......

    Not necessarily out of guidelines if they all wear masks and practice social distancing while indoors. Family members who reside together do not need to follow those rules when in close proximity to each other.

    The way I see it is that the Alaskan pipeline, which is an old design, is surpassed by this system. The real injury are jobs lost in this project and all the subsequent business loss supplementing this pipeline.

    Not 100% sure I understand this comment. The Alaska pipeline is old at this point, yes, but Keystone XL isn't in Alaska.

    The XL was intended to transport oil from the Alberta oil sands, but as I understand it that isn't financially viable to extract at this point anyway, with the price of oil so low.

    I'm not an oil industry guy, so maybe I've got that wrong.

    I was comparing the new design advantage to the old design in Alaska. That Alaskan pipeline has got to be 50+ years old. ........Nothing to do with location but I was thinking the new technology has got to have redundant systems which would be a safer transport system.

    Makes sense, but it's a bit like saying your car is new whereas mine is old. It may well be true that yours is newer and better, and that's great for you, but it does me no good at all. I still have to drive my old junker. I live on the other side of the country, so you couldn't even loan me your new car if you wanted to.

    At least he didn't grab her by the pussy and say her family came from a shithole country and her grandfather was a sucker for dying in the Korean War and..........
