“we just want someone who will take abuse for low pay.” - employers

Always seem to find the required number of Democrats willing to cross the aisle to enact punitive legislation.

The Controlled Opposition party is remarkably reliable.

Way, way more.

Ban social media and advertising/marketing. Smart phones are just a small computer.

That sounds like criminal charges should be levied more than just letting the owners off with paying a fine.

No reasonable, articulable suspicion of crime? No ID.

Just commenting re: the manufactured shortage of labor. I don’t disagree that nearly all agricultural industries will be affected, but this result seems like the outcome of short-sighted voters, more than anything else.

Upstate NY and pretty much everywhere outside of developed metropolitan areas have gone MAGA and have been voting Republican against their own interests for years.

This is what they voted for- to shoot themselves in the foot.

The majority of white women voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024.

"White women are still voting for the Republican candidate

Although women as a whole have historically voted for Democrats, white women have not. Instead, over the last 72 years, a plurality of white women have voted for the Democratic candidate only twice, in 1964 and 1996."

Oh please. Boomers as a cohort have earned the enmity. They stole the economic welfare of their children and children’s children while hoarding resources and lavishing themselves at every turn. Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z have all been sacrificed on the altar of Boomer prosperity. All the while, they made sure that the ladders they used to gain a foothold in upward mobility were immediately pulled up afterwards.

The last 40 years of decline is directly attributable to the choices and votes of Boomers, who, because of their enormous population size, have had an outsized influence on all aspects of American development.

So many Boomers have proven incapable of remote Mgmt. If they don’t have staff in line-of-sight, they always seem to default to “they’re not working hard,” regardless of actual productivity.

Boomers need to retire already and remove themselves from their perches at the top of corporate ladders.

History will remember John Roberts’ SCOTUS as a cornerstone in the USA’s decline.

The lefties yearn for the reel

Too many people are having kids and should never have become parents. Boomers flooded the world with their negligent parenting.

The race is quarterly profits before implosion

The government should have been taxing the Corporations that made enormous profits from the surplus value their employees generate and then requiring said Corporations to invest annually in pensions matched to Cost-of-Living indexes.

In the US, instead we got 401ks so the poors are required to cheer the stock market and pretend they’re temporarily embarrassed Capitalists, rather than the scornful reality of being wage-slaves.

*was avoidable, by taking steps 25-40 years ago. Boomers took us right over the edge of any cliff they could find, again and again.

I sincerely hope the voters throw this guy out on his ass and then follow up with new indictments to replace the charges he had dismissed. Guy is pure corrupt scum.

Republicans are the enemy of anyone outside of the billionaire class. They have persisted by duping the dumbest and least discerning for decades, aided by the machinery of religion, which inherently removes the ability to parse facts from fiction.

Republicans are a threat to America.
