SEATTLE'S MINIMUM WAGE HIKE HURTING LOW-LEVEL WORKERS, study says.

From the article :

The working poor are making more per hour but taking home less pay. The University of Washington paper asserts the new wages boosted worker pay by 3 percent, but also resulted in a 9-percent reduction in hours and a $125 cut to the monthly paychecks.

The law also cost the city 5,000 jobs, the report said.

Also, many of these $15/minimum "working poor" lost their public financial assistance, because they make too much now.

One study says the "working poor" need to make $24/hr to be better off without public financial support such as food stamps, rent assistance, family assistance ...

What a hot mess!

The US and Japan are meeting with the UN today at 3pm.

President Trump said that "the American people are going to be very sad."

Why? Because I bet we are going to blow up North Korea and take out a lot of South Korea AND our troops in the process.

On Fox, they are saying that we should start shooting down NK's missiles - why haven't we? Because I bet we can't. I don't think it has ever been tested.

I don't think we have any other options but to blow NK off the face of the earth, otherwise Jacka$$ (no, I'm not talking about Trump - get serious) is going to take out Japan and Guam. China is doing NOTHING. If we do go after NK, is China going to blow us up? Crap.

Nothing good can come out of this.

The ideal thing, in this instance, is if some drone plane just shot "Dear Leader," and no one else.

Trump is going back on his word and becoming Schumer's and Pelosi's butt buddy.

Trump tweeted:

The WALL, which is already under construction in the form of new renovation of old and existing fences and walls, will continue to be built.
3:20 AM - 14 Sep 2017

I tweeted to him that I will not be voting for him unless the wall is built. He is losing his base supporters according to the radio. I told him if he does not fulfill his campaign promises, he will be nothing but a 4 year president.

People who do not keep their promises make me sick! I would rather Trump kept his promises even if he couldn't get any of it passed because of the crappy Republicans instead of caving in to the damn Democrats. The Democrats will never make a deal that doesn't benefit their agenda. There is no playing fair with the Left.

What politician has kept his/her promises?

Trump's lucky if he makes it to four years.

He's pissed at the Republicans--so he's courting the Democrats.

Well, if that's how it's going to be, I'm just going to have to send Trump a lot of Preparation H!

The situation with N. Korea is going to equal a world war, only in the sense that the entire world is against them.

I know previously pro Trump columnists like Anne Coulter and Laura Ingraham are furious. I wonder how much of his hardcore base feels that way?. There are people on the left furious that those Democrats instead of all resistance all the time made a deal with the" racist"/"sexist"/"fascist" "Hitler" reincarnated etc despite the-the left getting basically what they wanted

My take on it is he was getting nowhere with the Republican Congress and the courts are blocking him so he decided I want a "win", a deal no matter what. He has decided to screw the Republican "losers" who he never liked anyway and deal with the Democrats. We are talking about a man who donated a lot to Democrats and attended a Clinton family wedding. I am pretty sure as a businessman from New York City he worked with Schumer before.

Trump has no ideology. He believes there's a sucker born every minute. Some of those are Republicans.

Oh God, the U.N. is here.

Like Hannity just said, it's not if - it's when.

I'm tired of all this crap. Let's just do it and get it over with. I'm ready to check out of this place anyway.

I think she's getting at some kind of armed confrontation with the UN/NWO/lizard people/illuminati etc. Image

Wouldn't whoever comes to power after him be just as much of a problem, only with a stronger case that their paranoia is well-justified? If NK's state collapses we need to worry about their nuclear weapons ending up on the black market; if their state doesn't collapse we need to worry that they'll still have them and have far more justification in maintaining an arsenal.

I don't see a winning outcome for us, beating fatboy won't end the threat.

We generally don't do armed confrontations with humans,only for self defense purposes.
We go at world domination a different route.
I mean,gees,we told you we come in peace. :D

What the hell, it's not like I'm speaking in riddles here. Connect the dots. The UN is here because they are meeting with us about Doofus. They already met with the U.S. and Japan last Friday about Numb Nuts.I'm saying if all we have left are military options, then lets just do it and blow him off the face of the earth instead of just p**** footing around. The whole mess of them will have to be taken out because I'm sure there are others to carry out his crazy assed agenda and if we get blown up in the process, I'm ready to blow this joint anyway (no pun intended) - at this point in time there's nothing in life that I would really miss.
