If Texas wants to get rid of masks, that’s fine. Just stay out of every neighboring state, your irresponsibility should not be allowed to cross borders. Build that wall. Build that wall.

I like brown people, I don’t like highly contagious and or deadly diseases. Texas compromises our war against COVID. They risk lives for convenience

Glad it morphed into an infrastructure topic, kinda.
That being said, I want to remind the board that people are a robot away from losing their job.
It’s inevitable. AI is simply more efficient. Obviously there will be certain jobs/industries that AI won’t be able to replace, but I really wish a national/international dialogue was started amongst world leaders on this.
I mean we got billion dollar factories getting built, but maybe 2500 permanent jobs once it’s up and running. And that’s a hard ‘maybe’.
Tech is developing at warp speed, so while we keep bickering over nonsense, before we know it we’ll be knee deep in a labor crisis.
We’re already at the cusp of that due to lack of talent/skills in intermediate/high level positions, as well as falling birth rates and people living much longer.
Might wanna get on that....

I agree. Society and the work force is changing rapidly. Another 400k applied for unemployment comp. last mo Food lines are growing. Homelessness is skyrocketing. The call for a 1 payer healthcare is nearly required right now. Especially during this pandemic. A minimum wage is never sufficient and raising that is impossible in the current political realm. Our infrastructure is literally crumbling before our eyes. It requires a socialistic approach to fix healthcare, earnings, and infrastructure for US. “We the people”
And you are wrong Mr Peen socialism is not communism, not even close. Communism is what you saw on Jan 6th, They attacked our democracy. That’s what a communist does.

I don't believe passing a living wage is impossible in this political climate. If one just looks at the Covid relief bill there wasn't a single Republican vote for it yet it passed anyway.
I think the problem was trying to tie a living wage into a Covid bill was the issue. The living wage issue was a problem long before Covid. I just don't think you could make a direct connection between the two. Did it make the minimum wage more difficult? Yes it certainly did. But as I stated, it had been an issue raised repeatedly for years before Covid.
We will certainly find out. Unlike what some claim nobody "gave up" on a living wage. It will be brought up again soon.
