    Freedom to require payment for services creates coercion?

    California burger flippers are soon to be making 20 bucks an hour under minimum wage law.

    Sure, some will raise their prices, adjust hours, etc., and stay in business. There might even be some who simply absorb the cost. We could come up with many scenarios. It does seem a stretch, though, to say that anyone who closes up was simply a bad businessman.

    Great Patriots, Mostly Peaceful: Trump’s Promise to Free Jan. 6 Inmates in DC Jail — Almost All of Them Assaulted Law Enforcement Officers

    Yours is a dismal imagination, indeed. Either way, I appreciate your concern. What you fear will not come to pass. I will be OK. I didn't say "universal healthcare," I said "free" universal healthcare.

    Then his generosity is checked by reality, as I suspected it was. Not sure why it took so long for this to come out on your side. It's no strike against his goodness. I agree. That hasn't happened here. But the converse is also true: when true words don't come out of someone's mouth, it is...

    Letter to a Christian Spouse (or other loved ones)

    Statements he made that I agree with 100%: We each have to be true to ourselves God isn't bothered by doubts God doesn't punish doubts Live authentically Face all things as best you can, honestly Change is a constant in life Whether or not I agree with the rest, I can relate to pretty much all...

    I'm sorry, but I don't know what this is saying. Thanks for the post, though.

    I don't want free healthcare. I don't want free anything. I want to be free. You can't have both.

    Great Patriots, Mostly Peaceful: Trump’s Promise to Free Jan. 6 Inmates in DC Jail — Almost All of Them Assaulted Law Enforcement Officers

    I suspect you were being sarcastic, but it is not funny at all. It is a civic disgrace (at best) that partisan citizens turn a blind eye to government's abdication of administering justice because those who need justice meted to them are motivated by ideas shared by the partisans, or when...

    I'm not sitting the election out.

    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    It's a good enough reason to not vote for anyone. If I were running for president, or for Congress, or for some local position, and you discerned that I would abuse some citizens in some way and favor others in some other way, would you vote for me, knowing that with your vote you assent to the...

    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    I should have qualified my first post with "this independent thinker" instead of "the independent thinkers." I only speak for myself, of course. And, in short, I can't vote for Biden because he doesn't secure the rights of the people equitably.

    Those are your ideas and your words, not mine. Laugh at them if you want, though.

    No forum rule proscribes the contribution of substance to the discussions.

    California burger flippers are soon to be making 20 bucks an hour under minimum wage law.

    The question is not whether or not it's a wonky definition, but whether or not it conforms to reality. Does it? If someone else controls where you go, when you go there, when you leave, what you do while you're there, how much you keep of what you produce…are you not a slave to that person...

    LOL, yes, I do meet my own criteria: "I invite all those who advocate for minimum-wage increases to share with us…" "Any advocate of minimum wage increases who is, or has been, a business owner, and who will answer the few business-health questions submitted above…" I do not advocate for...

    Your posts resisted calls to consider business factors. But since you're re-tracing, let's keep moving. I do know that. We are in agreement there. I have asked for specifics. I get answered with generalities or hypotheticals. But I'll ask again: Does your son pay his employees more than...

    California burger flippers are soon to be making 20 bucks an hour under minimum wage law.

    LOL, I'm not the one putting my nose in other peoples' business here. Not sure why you're assuming I advocate for anything other than what I've advocated for. I expect employers and employees to negotiate an arrangement they each agree to. I make no assumptions. Your "counter" has nothing to...
