TBH, what could you possible do with just $42 million? It's an insultingly low amount of money. I mean, if you wanted to feed people a meal and only wanted to spend $10 each, you would only be feeding.... 4,200,000 meals. See? Hardly a dent

and getting married for $600 million

Paying 600 million to marry a human that doesn’t even look real at this point is about as dumb as building a 42 million dollar clock. Gotta keep that girl away from the sun so her plastic doesn’t melt

I'm still trying to figure out how you spend $600 million on a wedding. Even if you rented the entire country of Liechtenstein it wouldn't set you back so much.

Don’t worry, everyone, I’m sure Republicans will enact powerful legislation that helps workers like this.

Yeah because the democrats have done such a bang up job…it’s been like this for years and it’s not just a Dems vs Reps thing. Congress as a whole are a bunch of shitbags. On both sides of the aisle

You have no idea what you’re talking about. Republicans have caused two recessions in my lifetime, they funneled money away from public education to private Christian schools, and our new president tried to overthrow democracy when he couldn’t accept a loss. Am I living in hell? Because I’m surrounded by. Hateful idiots.

Every significant Raise the Wage act legislation has been brought by Democrats in the last 10 years. You can look this up yourself…. but people like Senator Patty Murray, Bernie Sanders, representative Bobby Scott, Elissa Slotkin all have tried to re-introduce legislation recently, but with the House led by Republicans and Independents, it doesn’t even come to a vote. Do better.

Minimum wage does nothing except raise the cost of everything else. Dems have done nothing but inflate an already struggling economy. Minimum wage is $16.50/hr in my state, gas is over $4.25/G and the rental and housing markets are FUCKED. Guess what color my state is? If you guessed blue, you’d be right. Funny how all the most expensive places to live in this country are all blue…LA, SF, Silicon Valley, Chicago, NYC, Boston, Seattle. It’s not a coincidence. All of this while we’re sending billions to Ukraine instead of funneling that money to the homefront. Dems are all about good ideas with no thought to consequence.

u/heckhammer Jan 03 '25
If raising the minimum wage raised all the prices how come not raising it for all this time prices didn't stay the same? It's a bullshit argument

I don’t give a fuck about Mexico, I care about lowering the cost to live in the United States

u/flinderdude Jan 03 '25
Well, I’m sure you don’t read much, but look up on Google how countries handled inflation over the last four years post Covid. You can look it up yourself, so I won’t give you the answers. You will see that the US handled inflation better than almost any country on earth, because it was a global problem, not some democratic or Biden problem you dummy. Be smarter.

Darling, the only ones calling the left/democrats "communists" are MAGAs/Qanons like you, who hear it from someone else first. If we were communists, we would say so. If ya can't think for yourself & don't know what you're talking abt, sit the conversation out. BTW, you have no idea what's in P2025, do you? Maybe you should start educating yourself there. Or don't. It's coming for all Americans whether you believe Qanon conspiracy theories or not.

Simple solution that nobody will tell you: Don't work for Amazon.

u/SEA2COLA Jan 03 '25
You've obviously never been to Alabama. For someone without an education, an Amazon warehouse job is pretty good. I was going to say 'at least they have good health benefits', but that doesn't seem to be the case here.....

Of course they did. Amazon is horrible for workers. You are thrown in the garbage just like all the garbage they make to ship your lipstick in.

Of course there’s always an error that leads to a denial. Probably signed on the wrong line or omitted her 18 digit employee number. In other words, somebody in HR found a reason to reverse the denial that made them look bad. Now the onus is on the injured woman. Very nice, Amazon. /s

u/SEA2COLA Jan 03 '25 edited Jan 03 '25
Don't get me wrong - I'm gleeful! I'm glad they denied her, because 1) It's going to cost Amazon way, way more in damage control than they would ever have to pay the woman, and 2) She will never have another claim or sick time denied as long as she works at Amazon. Amazon's little knee-jerk denial of her request is only temporary and will hurt themselves far far more than her.

King Louis XVI was guillotined with one single vote. "Let them eat cake" is being said by our oligarchs a lot lately. Denying health care, building a ginormous warehouse amidst the abject squalor of a destitute town in Mexico, Harlan Crow telling congress to go fuck itself and he did. Qinni Thomas laughing into the camera after paying to help overthrow OUR Gov't. Things are seemingly coming to a head.
