  1. 99% of the toilet paper is made in US......lmao Nothing to do with this subject
  2. It's only $13.51 (46% off) and free shipping.....and it's VISUAL...... [Hidden Content]
  3. I currently manage a bank......I used to run big box retail (75-100) employees. Both companies have/had a payroll budget. You were required to hit your monthly dollar budget. Managing call outs and vacation, I would approve some overtime. It is NOT priced into a business.....it may be priced into contractor jobs, but don't think for a second the owner of the contractor company does not want to save payroll and limit the OT. The most controllable expense in a business IS payroll. You seem to think my opinion is I want straight time no matter the hours worked. I never said or even implied that. I will be clear, if you work over 40, you should get time OT pay. I only said Trump was taken out of context. If my bonus is paid off of total profit for the year, I want to limit unnecessary expense. Overtime is the easiest to control...... and BTW, I'm salary - if I work 40 or 60, I get no overtime and I am fine with that,......I make it up in quarterly bonuses.
  4. I'm in as well. I would love to meet some of the posters I feel like I know but never met. I'll be happy to contribute whatever is needed for the party.
  5. I bet the CEO of the company takes a pay cut to make up for the payroll and benefits...... I bet they don't increase the cost of loading and unloading to make up for it, thus passing the cost of the raise and benefits to the consumers (SARCASM for the ones that need to be told)
  6. They are masters at taking things out of context....almost like they have never had a real job. Business owners/managers either approve or deny overtime......Ask ANY business owner if they like overtime. I don't know one business owner that would rather pay someone 50% more pay to do the same job. The dumb that is out on social media amazes me......Business owners do not have unlimited funds....I find it troubling that people do not understand the basics of how a business works.
  7. Under the current administration homelessness has increased 12.1% from 2022 to 2023. I wonder what could be done to help our homeless situation if the laws on the books were followed and migrants crossing illegally were jailed and immediately sent back.......I bet a plane ticket is cheaper than 3-5 years of housings Where is the outrage from the left that immigrants are being treated better than our own citizens? While I think there should be limits on financial aid, if we are going to spend it, lets spend it on our own citizens. [Hidden Content]
  8. That all you ever have......lol My point still stands, you have selective outrage......
  9. You made that up just to post it.....I'm not poor and I think $15 hour is to much for a burger flipper. Why not just make it $50.00 an hour.....Lets give ABSOLUTLEY no incentive to do better to make more money..... I don't see you posting and showing any outrage at all the money the government is spending housing ILLEGAL immigrants, while our own citizens are sleeping on the street......
  10. "Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body? A woman's fundamental right of individual liberty, to her own life, grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes," Melania Trump writes in her upcoming book.... If a man has no say.....then why should he be financially responsible? I was lucky as to have joint custody of mine and didn't go bankrupt. I know people who have had to pay A LOT of child support and don't even get to see the kids daily......
  11. If that number reaches 5,000 or a single day’s encounters exceed 8,500, the authority is mandatory. Directly from the bill....... The one thing your word document said correctly is The President has the power alone to shut down the border (just like Trump did).....Which is why Trump is double digits ahead of Harris on the border
  12. Who should we take care of first, our own citizens or immigrants coming across illegally and trying to bypass the system. It is a pretty clear answer to me......
  13. The bill creates a new statutory authority for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to close the border to people seeking asylum after certain “trigger numbers” have been met. If over the course of seven days, the cumulative number of people arriving at the border (at or between ports, and regardless of whether they are actually processed for asylum) reaches 4,000, the authority is discretionary. If that number reaches 5,000 or a single day’s encounters exceed 8,500, the authority is mandatory. @Big girl - you should really read bills before you comment on them. It makes you sound uninformed......
  14. They should of just expanded Medicare and Medicaid to treat people who either can't afford to have health insurance or their employer does not offer. They should of left the private sector alone. There was no need for insurance for all..... The other issue is some folks are not responsible enough to get and maintain insurance. In my profession I see MANY people who make really good money, but have sorry credit because they don't pay their bills on time. There are also some that KNOW if you're sick and call an ambulance, they HAVE to transport you to a hospital(money or no money) - they also know if they walk into a hospital, they cannot be refused treatment......This is why a week stay in a hospital would bankrupt most people if they had to pay.
  15. Vance won the debate easily...... It may have swayed some independents to Trump side.
  16. It let 5000 immigrants in per day - that's 1.8 million a year.....I'm glad that bill did not pass.
  17. Before Obamacare - my deductible was $250.00 Now, best Deductible is $2500.00 The concept is not flawless......
  18. There may be some truth to that.....They are currently being attacked by a country and by a terrorist group under our current weak administration
  19. The fact you both point out lies of one but not the other...... "with my healthcare plan, you can keep your Doctor" Probably the most costly lie to date
  20. Iran attacks Israel....... Russia attacks Ukraine (under Obama AND Biden) 2 assassination attempts on Trump Meanwhile, Some time in 2019, the world is safe enough for President Trump to be the first President to step into North Korea.... One could almost say the current administration's foreign policy is a disaster........LOL

  22. 08-27-2024 State Today Harris +1 Arizona Trump +1 Trump +.6 Georgia Trump +.7 Harris +.6 Nevada Harris +1.5 Harris +1.6 Penn Harris +.8 Harris +3.8 Wisc Harris 1.8 The race is tightening up. I'm using 538, which takes an average of several polls. 8-27-2024 is when I made this original post. If I was a Harris supporter, I would be concerned. While the polls have not been perfect, 538 was the most accurate, and the one consistent is Trump has out performed the poll numbers in 2016 and 2020.....
  23. Hard to believe someone that desperate.....Based on his face covering, you would never convivence me he didn't plan to kill someone that night.
