And I’ll just reiterate. This petty ■■■■ that Republicans are gonna throw at Biden and his administration should be dismissed 100% of the time. You don’t get to spend 4+ years championing a man like Trump and then expect people to take you seriously.
By all means, come at Biden when something actually bad happens. We can have a conversation about that. But until then, keep on walkin’.

That post had to be tongue in cheek. There is no way someone could complain about patronage after wholly supporting Trump for 4 years.

Outworked and outperformed…
Well except for the whole getting more votes thing.
But other than that I disagree, he failed this country due to his lack of leadership in the pandemic and Americans died because of it.

A better business operating environment.
I’m not giving him credit. You haven’t proven your premise.

And you’ll decide when that is?
Feel free.
Because Trump sacrificed the economy (and lives) to try to keep the Stock Market up and IIRC the first President in recent history to leave office with a net JOB LOSS for his Presidency, you can expect the numbers to do noting but improve.

I actually don’t doubt that minimum wage plays into it some.
But wage increases when foreign trade is being restricted in an ok thing.
Wage increases when “free trade” is the norm has the opposite effect. Its why Rs and Ds have been the perfect storm to wreck our countries industry. One wanted “free trade” traditionally, and the other wanted “higher wages”.
Either thing on its own is sustainable, but combined they’ll kill an economy over time. If you want higher wages, you need import tariffs so domestic goods are still competitive with imports. If you want free trade, you need unrestricted labor, to again be competitive with foreign goods.
If you try to do both, like we have been, you end up with a market where domestic products are much higher, or non competitive with foreign goods, and industries slowly move to foreign markets.
yes there is.
They get a raise to 12 in 2021.

There’s not “many of them”. The focus on minimum wage is all out of proportion to the number of people actually making it.
Biden isn’t Trump. His kids will not be a part of the government siphoning off tax payer money.

192,000 people
“Currently, approximately 192,000 workers in New Jersey make between $10 and $10.99 per hour, according to U.S. Census Bureau Monthly Current Population Survey (CPS) data, and will therefore directly benefit from the increase”
They will be getting another $1.00 per hour in 2021.

192,000 seems like a lot of workers to me.
