There is NO need for a Federal Minimum wage...

[Mikeoxenormous]

Minimum wage jobs weren't intended as career choices. If social pressure forces gigantic corporations like Amazon to increase the minimum wage that's fine but when you tell small operations that are barely getting by to raise their wages for untrained menial labor the only thing you are doing is forcing them to fire those people and take on an increased work load themselves or become criminals by paying the help "off the books".

Minimum wage jobs weren't intended as career choices.

Why?

Here are 202 reasons why tRump needs to be stopped.

Here Are 202 Companies Hurt by Trump's Tariffs

Do you not remember that under ObummerCare, that the full time working hours went from 40 to 29? That really helped out those "workers" , you ******* idiot.

There is NO NEED when the economy is growing like this:


US weekly jobless claims drop to a near 49-year low

• The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits fell to a near 49-year low last week.

US weekly jobless claims drop to a near 49-year low

The economic incentives that President Trump being a non-politically-correct, loud-mouthed, braggart, obnoxious BUT nevertheless a President IN FAVOR of incentivizing the
economy i.e. the corporate tax cut from 35% to 21% that has "incentivized" corporations that has encouraged all told, Fortune 500 corporations are avoiding up to $767 billion in U.S. federal income taxes by holding more than $2.6 trillion of “permanently reinvested” profits offshore
Fortune 500 Companies Hold a Record $2.6 Trillion Offshore

So how much of that has come back because the cut in corporate taxes to 21%?
All told, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) reported, some $305.6 billion returned to the U.S. from overseas accounts.

That's a $1.2 trillion annual rate, and far more than the $35 billion one year before.Jun 26, 2018
Thanks To Tax Cuts, Companies' Overseas Profits Flooding Back To U.S.

That single incentive that the non-politically-correct, loud-mouthed, braggart, obnoxious Trump pushed through in the only way he knew how, i.e. "deal making" for the betterment of
the country.
As I've put up several times ANY President making statements and policies like these WOULD NOT be incentives to grow the US economy.

Trump is benefitting from the Obama economy
Just like he benefitted from the millions his father gave him

So these statements and policies including Obama's reduction of signed federal oil leases HELPED the economy?

JUST in the ONE specific area that a President can AFFECT gas prices i.e. signing new oil exploration leases OBAMA signed HALF as many as GWB did.

TRUMP signed in 2017 nearly 200% MORE leases than Obama did in 2016.

If your business relies on paying a wage that has been frozen for ten years....you don’t belong in business

if capitalists can Only make it on cheap labor; they need to transition to industrial automation, anyway.

Today’s national gas price average ($2.88) is the most expensive for the beginning of October since 2014.
The average is four cents more than a month ago and 32 cents more than a year ago.

Now to educate you on the "whys"... but it won't do any good because you aren't into reality!

Supply and Demand. Like most of the things you buy, supply and demand affect both gas and oil prices. When demand is greater than supply, prices rise. For example, U.S. shale oil producers increased the oil supply in 2014. Gas prices fell to their lowest levels in five years. But that shale oil boom reversed when low prices put many producers out of business.


Seasonal demand also affects oil and gas prices. You can expect them to rise every spring. Oil futures traders know the demand for gas rises in the summer as families go on vacation and hit the road. They start buying oil futures contracts in the spring in anticipation of that price rise.

Commodities Traders. Commodities traders also cause high gas prices. They buy oil and gasoline at the commodities futures markets. Those markets allow companies to buy contracts of gasoline for future delivery at an agreed-upon price. But most traders have no intention of taking ownership of the gasoline. Instead, they plan to sell the contract for a profit.


Since 2008, both gas and oil prices are affected more by the ups and downs in these futures contracts.
The price depends on what buyers think the price of gas or oil will be in the future.
When traders think gas or oil prices will be high, they bid them up even higher. In this way, commodities traders create a self-fulfilling prophecy.
This leads to an asset bubble. Unfortunately, the one who pays for this bubble is you at the gas pump.


The Value of the Dollar Declines. Gas and oil prices also rise when the value of the dollar declines. Oil contracts are all denominated in dollars. Oil prices rose between 2002 and 2014 because the dollar lost 40 percent of its value during that time.
Oil prices fell in 2015 and 2016 because a strong dollar allowed OPEC members to make more money while keeping supply constant.

Learn Why Gas Prices Are High and What You'll Be Paying at the Pump

Finally think if Trump HAD NOT signed more oil leases than that Dummy Obama and kept up what Obama was doing?

Do you comprehend the term "LEAD TIME"?????????????
That means specifically in the case of that Dummy's NOT signing oil leases that companies weren't doing explorations then two three years later!
It takes TIME and money to explore and THEN ONLY then if there are oil leases signed!
This is one of the major reasons most idiots don't comprehend what happens economically in that it TAKES time to eradicate the damages done by idiots like OBAMA
who signed less than 1/2 as many oil leases as GWB did! So it takes time to then turn the ship around DUMMIES like you evidently think these thing happen on a dime!
WRONG WRONG!

AGAIN use that noggin and comprehend that when speak glowingly of Obama's economic prowess what you are doing is looking at the days events and NOT what was
preceding the events... i.e. GWB signed twice as many leases... meaning oil exploration was moving forward. THE oil companies were then producing from the leases
that GWB signed in the early 2000s. THEN the idiot came in and SIGNED 50% fewer leases.
AGAIN it takes TIME to overcome that stupidity.
BUT I don't understand how a "statistician" like you can't comprehend this FACT of life!

who signed less than 1/2 as many oil leases as GWB did! So it takes time to then turn the ship around DUMMIES like you evidently think these thing happen on a dime!
WRONG WRONG!

AGAIN use that noggin and comprehend that when speak glowingly of Obama's economic prowess what you are doing is looking at the days events and NOT what was
preceding the events... i.e. GWB signed twice as many leases... meaning oil exploration was moving forward. THE oil companies were then producing from the leases
that GWB signed in the early 2000s. THEN the idiot came in and SIGNED 50% fewer leases.
AGAIN it takes TIME to overcome that stupidity.
BUT I don't understand how a "statistician" like you can't comprehend this FACT of life!

And you really show your ignorance when you make truly unsubstantiated statements.
I had attributed a higher intelligence quotient for you based on your "statistician" statement but once again stereotyping is wrong!

You are certainly threatened by my job, just not sure why. Guess moron are always threatened by those superior to them.

I made a statement about gas prices that was 100% accurate and provided a link to support it.

No it wasn't 100% accurate! The fact is in
Gator... please deal with the FACTS... the price is not ALMOST 60¢ more than early 2017 when it was $2.33.
Quarterly retail price of gasoline in the United States 2018 | Statistic
Average Gas price today:$2.88...
What is $2.88 when you subtract $2.33. 55¢... NOT 60¢!
So once again your job as a "statistician" should be in jeopardy as you don't know the difference of $2.88 versus $2.33 which IS NOT about 60¢
You were off your 100% by ALMOST 10% (Note I said almost using your "statistician" approximation technique..actual you were 91.6667% accurate... but NOT 100%!
Finally again you don't seem to catch on to the bigger picture here Gator.
Unlike juveniles who use emojis to express yourself or juveniles that use exaggeration and most important unlike juveniles that don't comprehend that huge projects
like drilling exploratory wells takes just a little time and when as I've shown Obama reduced the number of oil leases that makes it even longer!

 

[healthmyths]

So these statements and policies including Obama's reduction of signed federal oil leases HELPED the economy?

JUST in the ONE specific area that a President can AFFECT gas prices i.e. signing new oil exploration leases OBAMA signed HALF as many as GWB did.

TRUMP signed in 2017 nearly 200% MORE leases than Obama did in 2016.

Today’s national gas price average ($2.88) is the most expensive for the beginning of October since 2014.
The average is four cents more than a month ago and 32 cents more than a year ago.

Now to educate you on the "whys"... but it won't do any good because you aren't into reality!

Supply and Demand. Like most of the things you buy, supply and demand affect both gas and oil prices. When demand is greater than supply, prices rise. For example, U.S. shale oil producers increased the oil supply in 2014. Gas prices fell to their lowest levels in five years. But that shale oil boom reversed when low prices put many producers out of business.


Seasonal demand also affects oil and gas prices. You can expect them to rise every spring. Oil futures traders know the demand for gas rises in the summer as families go on vacation and hit the road. They start buying oil futures contracts in the spring in anticipation of that price rise.

Commodities Traders. Commodities traders also cause high gas prices. They buy oil and gasoline at the commodities futures markets. Those markets allow companies to buy contracts of gasoline for future delivery at an agreed-upon price. But most traders have no intention of taking ownership of the gasoline. Instead, they plan to sell the contract for a profit.


Since 2008, both gas and oil prices are affected more by the ups and downs in these futures contracts.
The price depends on what buyers think the price of gas or oil will be in the future.
When traders think gas or oil prices will be high, they bid them up even higher. In this way, commodities traders create a self-fulfilling prophecy.
This leads to an asset bubble. Unfortunately, the one who pays for this bubble is you at the gas pump.


The Value of the Dollar Declines. Gas and oil prices also rise when the value of the dollar declines. Oil contracts are all denominated in dollars. Oil prices rose between 2002 and 2014 because the dollar lost 40 percent of its value during that time.
Oil prices fell in 2015 and 2016 because a strong dollar allowed OPEC members to make more money while keeping supply constant.

Do you comprehend the term "LEAD TIME"?????????????
That means specifically in the case of that Dummy's NOT signing oil leases that companies weren't doing explorations then two three years later!
It takes TIME and money to explore and THEN ONLY then if there are oil leases signed!

$2.84/gal price in 09/18 subtract $2.41/gal price in 2017 is hmmm... 47¢ way way far from your 100% accurate 60¢!

Oh and by the way the above sources are government data but of course you don't believe that do you?

Finally I do understand that "statisticians" are sloppy when it comes to "estimates".... I mean look how far off you were...17%...!
See I came from an industry where it truly was a life and death issue that required "six sigma" dedication...i.e. we were doing things that had to reduce the chance of
people dying from your "sloppy" 17% for example to less than 3/1000th of a percent.

$2.84/gal price in 09/18 subtract $2.41/gal price in 2017 is hmmm... 47¢ way way far from your 100% accurate 60¢!

Oh and by the way the above sources are government data but of course you don't believe that do you?

Finally I do understand that "statisticians" are sloppy when it comes to "estimates".... I mean look how far off you were...17%...!
See I came from an industry where it truly was a life and death issue that required "six sigma" dedication...i.e. we were doing things that had to reduce the chance of
people dying from your "sloppy" 18% for example to less than 3/1000th of a percent.
Oh and please get rid of your emojis ... but wait don't! They continue to show your ineptness and juvenile mentality!

Have you always been so anal?
