And Bella is correct- California is spilling out residents. Too bad they will fuck up other states with their CA bs. Fucking idiots.

Just what we have been living in the last 3 years

I think he hit himself on the head. He's gone. It's a shame. He seemed intelligent and interesting.

Nothings wrong with raising the cost of goods and services if the market calls for it. But when someone artifically raises the cost of one, the others are then raised as well. It's a balancing act, and it's an act best left to the market. Free Markets and competition breed the best products at the best price. Supply and demand dictates price. It's best if left to itself. It's referred to as The Invisible Hand. In a free society it's completely and totally fair. If you want to make a higher wage, then go for a higher paying job and do what's necessary to obtain it. You're free to pursue and your free to stay where you are. It's up to the individual.

If you have 10 dollars from raking leaves as a 10 year old kid.You can go to mcdonalds and get a happy meal.
If the person that pays you to rake the leaves is the manager at that mc donalds he makes a wage for it.
If you demand 30 dollars for raking leaves the next time, you are taking a larger chunk of his salary. So after a while of doing without his starbucks coffee to pay you, he demands a raise. He gets 1. But the menu price goes up on the happy meals to cover his salary increase. You go back the next week to get your meal and it takes a larger chunk of your leaf raking money to buy it. What do you? Knowing you, you would then demand 40 dollars. Then the manager would have to ask for another raise to cover YOUR wages, which in turn would increase the happy meal price yet again.
And so the roller coaster keeps going.
In the long term,your money will not buy what it bought before, even though the numbers are larger.

No, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to start an upsetting topic. I really work avoiding deep online discussions. They never end up being enjoyable, and Chat is so tedious.
I was referring to the inflated minimum wages that have taken place recently. It’s too nuanced a topic to properly discuss on this forum. In a free market, if wages are artificially raised, they affect cost. The market dictates prices, wages and costs. When someone steps in an artificially effects anyone of those three, the others will also effected. Manufacturers compete for consumer dollars. That field of competition creates the best possible productat the best possible price. And then depending on the product and what’s needed to produce it, we get wages. It requires more resources and training to produce a rocket than it does for Amazon to pack a box for shipment, or McDonalds a customer’s bag. I could’ve used clearer examples, so please be generous when reading my explanation.

The dingbats dropped a missle in the water at your back door step and all you can do is
Damn!

This incident is equal to a premature ejaculation.
A british submarine trys to fire a missile and it just lobs out and sinks.
