And here comes the anger. This should be celebrated but party worship won’t allow it

-
The anger is in the where this is happening? I live just outside of Chicago and see more stores closing than opening. Wages have gone up but that’s because of Chicago min wage and has zero to do with trump. My gas and grocery bills have jumped over 20 percent.
-
You have to consider the high tax trickle down imposed by the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois. This also makes business suppliers move out so there is less competition. You really should move to a free state and get an instant raise.

Interesting theory. How did that work out for Kansas?
-
I don't know datails on Kansas. You tell us if you're from there.
-
Georgia's economy is booming. We also know how to vote to make that happen.
-
Texas is booming too. No state income tax and good paying jobs everywhere.
-
Hmm maybe TX is the place to be. I’m in PA with lowest minimum wage ($7.25 hr) highest gas tax, one of the highest sales taxes (6% on everything but food) state income tax, occupation tax.

Temp jobs for the holidays?
-
That doesn’t account for the wage news. Low unemployment with a maintained high demand for labor increases wages across the board. Eg. “Why should I work for X when Y is offering me more?”
-
Wage numbers are rising because minimum wages are rising, slightly. Including Amazons guaranteed 15$ an hour wage, but even that had to be fought for. Have to look at the number of Americans working 2+ jobs to make ends meet.

It’s almost like the Wall Street Journal(a media conglomerate w/ obvious bias, who also recently endorsed an open facist) is going to share statistical data based on the DLS’ ancient surveying techniqueshttps://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/eriksherman/2018/07/22/more-people-probably-work-multiple-jobs-than-the-government-realizes/amp/ …

The fact that wages are rising is also a fallacy. Wages have mostly remained stagnant. Not just during Trumps presidency but ever the past few decades when ajusted for inflation.

Remind us again how you’ve got beat by a reality TV star?
-
Remind us again how we use an outdated system specifically designed by the aristocracy to protect their interests?
-
You mean the system that protects candidates from just visiting NY, CA, FL and perhaps toss in another random state?
-
Yup, I'm sure am glad we don't elect a president based on the "American Idol" voting system.
