I'm not going to comment about tariffs at this point, but what amazed me was that I was able to elicit from you a favorable comment about Trump.
If that is the way you look at it I am OK with it. The problem is the statement was neutral. For the record I am in favor of tariffs to level out the trade imbalance.

I saw that. Was just trying to rub it in.  ;)

Time for Trump and the Trumpsters to put up or shut up. Call for a $15 minimum wage (like Amazon) if you really care about the low/middle class!!!

Here's a takeaway that some need to read and reread:

Quote
Is it required to hit any incentive targets in order to get the $15 minimum wage?
No, we are phasing out the incentive pay component and the $15 will be a simple minimum with no targets required.

Can anyone think of a major historical experiment in socio-economics that took away incentives that might have failed?

You need to look at the whole package and not just one-liners.

The whole package as in the USSR 70 year experiment in removing performance incentives?

I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

That would be great

Though it might be devastating for small businesses.

That's not the only thing that's important, individual liberty is more important, that's why I'm all for companies making their own minimum wage, and against the government forcing it on everyone.

Induvials is what makes up our great country. When I ask what's best for the country I am asking what is best for everyone.

I agree! and for that reason I don't like the government taking away our freedom to make our own decisions "for the greater good"

If businesses were honest and did what was fair we would not need them to step in. Unfortunately history has shown us this is not the case.

While I strongly advocate for individual liberty, I won't always say it's more important, there's a balance needed between the טובת הכלל and טובת הפרט.

To have fresh blood acting similarly.

The two (morally) lowest occupations IMHO are journalists/reporters and politicians. They both stop at nothing to advance their personal interests.
