The former POTUS doesn't need more ammunition but that doesn't stop him from getting it: https://www.npr.org/2023/12/20/1220725977/a-breakdown-of-the-colorado-supreme-courts-ruling-on-trump In. 4-3 decision, the Colorado Supreme Court has ruled the former POTUS cannot be on the ballot in the state primary race. This is frivolous on a couple levels. If/when this issue goes to the US Supreme Court, may be the one-time they vote 9-0 to strike it down. US politics is becoming a bigger circus with each passing day. It's going to a miracle rounding up these clowns in both sides.😎

What I'm about to say may SOUND like a contradiction...but it certainly is not if you examine it with experience and insight. I'm a big supporter or labor union and the right to organize. I'm also a big supporter or private businesses and profiteering. In a Capitalistic society such as this, labor wages and working conditions in general rise when GOVERNMENT offers a viable alternative as competition. This is what Franklin D. Roosevelt did back in the 30s and 40s with his various worker programs. The wages offered were so high that if the private sector wanted to have a work-force, they HAD to raise their wages in order to lure people back to their jobs. Infact, we saw a recent example of this on a more minor scale with the Pandemic relief a couple years ago. With the government helping people to pay rent and giving them such large unemployment checks, companies HAD to offer higher wages, sign-on bonuses, and other deal sweeteners just to get people off the dole and back to work....lol. So yes, you can allow people the freedom to work for any wage they AGREE to work for. Infact, they SHOULD have the freedom to do this because you never know who all may be in a pinch and need to take anything they can get. But if the government does IT'S job by offering alternatives, then the wages will still increase. Also the government can help by suppressing INFLATION so that your dollar will stretch further, then there would be no need for constant wage increases.

If I had NEVER been to the USA....no I wouldn't.

As it relates to AfroAmericans (ADOS/FBA), we should only be concerned with issues that affect us. Otherwise, it is a distraction to keep us from focusing on reparations. Whatever is going on with Chinese women and their wanting to have babies in America has nothing to do with AfroAmericans.😎

Pay disparity will always be an issue especially within a capitalistic framework. Then, there's the racism and gender piece of it too. There are a few elephants in a small room. Most Americans are taught to get an education so that they can get a job working for somebody else. People need to become educated in how to go from 1) trading labor for wages to 2) becoming producers instead of merely consumers. There's a huge difference between working for someone else and working for yourself. It starts with self-investment. Take the two women mentioned above. As A-list actresses, there's nothing to stop them from separately or joining forces to produce and direct their own projects. But, it's easier to let someone else do the heaviest lifting whether it's financing the project or building the business. Then, workers want to demand better pay or fair pay. Their effort is misguided from the beginning. It starts at the negotiating table. Of course, as long as someone else is willing to work for less there's never a labor shortage. Catch 22. Unions and other efforts have been undertaken to resolve everything from pay disparity to working conditions. Even in that regard....follow the money. Nonetheless, I could write a book on the subject of labor and capitalism but I'll stop here for the Q&A.😁😎

Yeah, it would be kinda weird filling out forms for a school-aged child and under mother's occupation....prostitute.😁 Even worse, when that mother shows up for a PTA meeting and fathers and teachers and the janitor give her the side-eye or a wink and a nod.🤣 I don't believe anybody wants either one of their parents to be a prostitute or drug dealer or a bank robber as an occupation.😎
