*assuming I didn't already have it

Hope so

It’s been like that for over a month. Same with grocery stores. Don’t understand why other retailers couldn’t be open and do the same precautions. So ridiculously stupid.

what moron would
1. write down on paper - should we get him to lie and prosecute him or get him to tell the truth?

and

2. hang on to that piece of paper to where it will be found and come up in an internal investigation

The FBI looks bad here , and I think Barr ultimately goes after Comey

Go back to sleep

Would be great to see more politicians come to their senses like this man.....

Sad

Crotch is scared that Jesus is losing his grip

Probably heading to Ft. Lauderdale

Wind turbines cause cancer

She doesn't give a damn about illegals. She just wants to buy votes.

Illegals are more deserving than Crotch or 10ac. They've done way more for America than either one of you have...

That's literally the truth altho on the other hand we have a system that gives folks plausible reason to pretend our empire wasn't built on cheap (not to mention free) labor. We should be going around thanking illegals and poor folks like we do the military but that's not in the cards.

fuck that

we should be heavily fining business and individuals that hire illegals to get work done under the premise they do work Americans won't when actually its about exploiting poverty for their own financial gain.

Thanking illegals for working in poverty while Jeff Bezos is on his way to being Americas first trillionaire and the Waltons have more money than some banana republics - built on a flood of cheap labor that Democrats and Republicans were all to willing to let into this country.

Look in the mirror before you pat yourselves on the back for being so "woke" to real problems in this country.

....Although this country would trade away hedge for a corona infested, murderer drug dealing, illegal any day.

That would be a good trade...

That's where capitalism is supposed to kick in and the wage goes up until an American will take the job. But it seems the c word is only trotted out when it's time for the little guy to get doodoo'ed on. Doesn't cut the other way. Murica!

why would wages ever go up if we have porous borders that allow cheap labor to flood in continuously?

The American consumer is at fault too, they won't be willing to pay $4 a pound for tomatoes or $100 for lawn care, but it has to begin with controlling the amount of labor in the job market to drive wages to a living standard.
