Progressives continue to weaponize government

[candycorn]

You'd have to ask Bill but it probably has something to do with AMZN paying their employees a minimum of $15 per hour while Wal Mart does not; it probably has something to do with the NY State health department (like all state health departments) having to subsidize Wal Mart employees health care needs since they are paid so little they qualify for public assistance. It probably has something to do with the often repeated phenomenon of Wal Mart first rubbing out smaller competitors in neighborhoods and small towns only to abandon those towns and neighborhoods later on.

But you'd have to ask Bill.

Walmart sucks. A scam. Walton's huge conservative assholes have more money than the bottom 50% LOL. Good job. New York is so prosperous they don't need any help.

Wal*Mart is doing it legally. Ethically?

A disgrace like many companies with the same business model of paying the minimum wage which the GOP keeps low.with unions and the greatest generation basically gone, we need the government to regulate business ethically. Australia has a $19 minimum wage LOL. Where are we going wrong?

The minimum wage should be raised. The $15 per hour FMW is a pipe dream. Raising it incrementally over 3-5 years to perhaps $10 an hour is fine.

So?

Having the “richest country in the world” title is fine for chest pounding and perhaps bumper stickers. Doubling the minimum wage is stupid if you were going from $2.50 an hour to $5.00 an hour. Incrementally raising it by about 33% is responsible, reasonable, practical, and fair to all involved.

As for your personal attack…fuck you too.

Yet another reason that rational people are small government, constitutional conservatives. When the left gets in government, they exploit the powers of office and then they weaponize government to expand their power and wealth.

“Walmart does not belong in New York City,” de Blasio declares, while defending the city’s generous tax breaks for Amazon.

Why would Bill de Blasio declare that any business doesn't belong in New York City? Why would he brag about turning away jobs and tax revenue for the city he is supposed to serve?

Let's see. NYC subways falling into disrepair along with low income housing, an increasing homeless problem, and the NYPD who wants to take his ass out the first chance it gets!
No wonder Bill announced his candidacy!
He needed a reason to avoid NYC.

[Hiryuu]

As a conservative don’t you think a city has the right to decide what kind of businesses they license to operate in their borders?
I grew up in a city that did and still does not allow fast food, billboards, or strip clubs in the city limits... isn’t that their right?

Obviously, it's their right, but is it right? After all, it's the taxpayers who are flipping the bill, right? (no pun intended)

Meh, the money and consumers go where they want to go.

Our local area got all in a tizzy and blocked alcohol sales, and Wal-Mart trying to "protect the community".
So, Wal-Mart built a Superstore 1.5 miles past the line and a liquor store was built less than 1000 feet past the line.

The only thing they did was cut the community out of the loop as far as revenues are concerned.

NYC is a third world shithole?

It is now. It was a third-world shit-hole in the 70’s and 80’s. They turned to Rudy Guliania (who completely turned it around in the 90’s) and it’s been on the fast track to complete and total collapse ever since they turned back to the Dumbocrats.

Housing costs are a mess, high taxes have run businesses out of town (and prevented Amazon from moving in), education is an absolute disaster (maybe even worse then third-world shit-holes), and on and on.

When someone is wrong, I don’t mind saying so.
Raising the FMW to $15.00 from $7.25 (more than doubling it!) is irresponsible, reckless, and a shock to the system. The argument that “Well, Sweeden does this” or “Canada does that” is valid in some cases when you’re talking about nationwide policies, large systems, etc (Healthcare, Firearms Management, Immigration)… When you’re talking about a change that affects one sector of the whole and making that radical a change….the argument is baseless.

Everything you know is GOP propaganda.. minimum wage is way way overdue for a rise. 35 years of GOP give away to the rich now....only zombie GOP voters make it possible and the propaganda. Not a personal insult when 30% of the country believes the rich pay too much in taxes and Hillary is a criminal ditto Obama learner holder while 90% of the world all the journalists and law enforcement know the Obama administration had not a breath of Scandal in the real world.

Bologna. Most educated people knew he was a slightly mobbed-up New York City real estate narcissist. it's amazing how easy he took over the GOP by just parroting Fox noise and Rush Limbaugh... And his fifth grade bullying.... I actually hope his slightly crazy foreign policy and trade Wars workout, but considering he was a terrible businessman except for his brand name insanity LOL chances are he's just a screw up. He probably didn't even want to get elected LOL nothing but trouble for him except for all the money he's making for a change.
