  1. Lost jobs due to businesses automation?! Uh, they are doing that already and have been since the Industrial Revolution. If they could automate every job, even if they only paid workers $1.00 an hour, they would.

    1. Progressive Humanist they did NOT have robots during the industrial revolution, that is the automation they are talking about.

    2. So true. Fastfood restaurants are alrady getting the technology to replace all of their workers. They dont want to pay some high school kid $15/Hr

    1. it only benefits new employees also. not people who started 20 years ago at $5 an hour n jus now making $15 an hour. lol .. so somebody who been somewhere for 20 years is going to make same as some 18 year old new employee… so fair… good thing joe already said its not happening .

    2. Thats why they choose to pay us pennies. Makes sense, i mean, its not like they could raise it themselves……………………………..
      (Corporate tool)

    3. Here we go with the upside down people again. This is what happens when you invite the disillusioned republicans in

  2. Tell me. If someone started, let’s say three years ago at seven fifty. Now that person makes fifteen. Is that person to get a seven fifty raise, because the new minimum is fifteen? Or is the plan to have everyone make the same?

  3. The min wage debate is pretty null when you’re turning a blind eye to forced labor, involuntary servitude, and human trafficking.

  4. So you bash conservatives for their faith and then virtue signal by bringing on your own “reverend” to push the progressive agenda. Despicable.

    1. conservatives are brainwashed fools.. jesus is not who you think he is… god is like ghosts, aliens , bigfoot .. etc etc.. thousands of years and no PROVEN evidence

    2. @Music Biz Morty Says the brainwashed guy that has no more evidence that God doesn’t exist than those conservatives have that God does exist. It takes a lot of arrogance to tell someone what they believe is wrong when you can’t prove it is wrong. Typical progressive liberal…, they think they are smarter than other people when in reality they are part of a hive mind of illogical, irrational and virtue signaling idiots who have lost all critical thinking skills.

      By the way genius, there is more and more scientific consensus that Intelligent Design is the only explanation for our Universe. Unless you believe a tornado could sweep through a junkyard and build a fully functioning Boeing 747. That’ s about the same odds as there not being a creator or group of creators.

  5. The Rev. needs to be concerned with God’s judgement of the Church that’s coming….that’s it. I feel bad for them but I can’t stop God’s wrath.

  6. Teaching financial literacy would go a long way in reducing the amount of conversation surrounding this topic.
