"Greedy corporate overlords"? Do you realize that virtually every single small business in the country is a corporation? The guy cutting your grass is a corporation (if he's legal). The guy washing your car is a corporation (if he's legal).
BS class warfare nonsense like that is how we got Trump.
You act as if these companies are huge conglomerates. In reality the vast majority of businesses this impacts are small businesses with a small number of employees and small margins. Paying everyone $15/hr eliminates those margins and puts the shop out of business.
They aren't just working more hours, many have been laid off altogether while many small employers just closed and moved outside the city limits. For the restaurant/service industry there's also been an increase in the number of illegals hired and paid even less than before under the table.
There are still a few countied in Florida where voter rolls are NOT public info. that dates back to the Voting Rights Act and voter intimidation. A few counties are still highly protected.
Florida is the exception, however.
Where is this going? The gov't is desperate to tax e-cigs, that's where this is going. So much is being paid for right now with cigarrette taxes and those are falling off a cliff.
As I said a law degree used to be mandatory for all agents and now there are a few other paths for IT people, etc. The VAST majority of field agents (the guys with guns) have law degrees.
"Trump himself asked russia to locate emails from hillary clinton's servers on public broadcast television."
Completely tongue-in-cheek to mock Clinton. Only an imbecile would take that seriously.
A law degree used to be mandatory, now there are a few exceptions. But to infer that the nominee for Director is a lawyer as some sort of gotcha is really grasping. The Left is damaging themselves in ways they can't even comprehend with this hysteria.

Why not increase the minimum wage to $100/hr then?
$19/hr in Seattle IS a very low wage.
Liar.

The Washington study considers MANY more data points.
Illegal immigration has decimated the availability of those entry-level jobs.

Now everyone can have their unique ID tattooed on their wrists to make it more convenient.
Crap, I thought for sure 2021 was going to be the Year of Linux Desktop! they spent 8 years preparing for it to!

You're assuming AMT doesn't exist as a back door mechanism for state actors in the first place.
The Anthony Weiner documentary is fantastic.
With a king too?

People aren't buying the Russia! Russia! Russia! hoax. The troll campaign seems to have backfired.
Sessions was a Senator on the foreign relations committee. Meeting with Russians was his job.
FBI agents must have a law degree. Why is it unusual that the FBI Director might be a lawyer. Is that supposed to be something negative?
We do pay to educate people. They need to want that education in order for it to take.
The local paper isn't required to report Trump's missives either.
