Guess you most likely won't like this either: Cops can randomly stop any motorists, at any time, anywhere, and carry out licence, registration and vehicle compliance checks, and drug and alcohol tests. Oh, and if these random licence checks detect the driver is driving while disqualified...

You get what you vote for.

Exactly why Australia didn't want to import beef from anywhere...but was seemingly 'bullied' into doing so by President Trump, his tariffs and his seeming dislike of the country.

Could be that jobs like that are a career for some people. Maybe the only jobs on offer in some places. Cashier is a job. There are cashiers everywhere, in places like banks ('tellers'), casinos, clubs, supermarket checkouts, stores, and fast food restaurants, bars, pubs etc.

It really should be a wage that makes it possible for someone who works 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week doing any job to provide themselves with the basics to live not in squalor. Food, clothing, a roof of some sort over their head...that's not a tarp or tent.

It's not BS, it's fact. Congress mandated a federal minimum wage long ago. States can set their own minimum wages, but they can't be less than the federal one. I see in another thread in this site that Florida is to increase its minimum wage to $15ph in 2026. Voters spoke. Yes, seems more than a...

The market? Like $5 per day for agricultural workers in CA not that long ago? Employers would pay $1 per hour if they could? $1hr and no benefits... for workers with no college degree and doing 'entry level' low skilled work?

Trump could slap Australia with 12.5% tariff for allegedly importing goods made by slave labour Trump could slap Australia with 12.5% tariff for allegedly importing goods made by slave labour Trade minister says Australia has ‘robust, comprehensive and world-leading legislation addressing...

Probably why they got voted out of office.

Ah yes, diversity. There's a video on Youtube: "Fit In or F*ck Off" ( Explicit Australian Anthem)" Warning: Bad language. etc. Not racist.

The death penalty needs abolishing. It's barbaric and is a failed system. You'd have to wonder why this guy wasn't in a prison cell where he couldn't hurt anyone. x This case is a perfect example of how 'you' only have to make one mistake protecting 'your' daughter/s and this or worse can...
