It’s declining by degrees. Imaginary racism will find everyone eventually, even you. It’s good to call it out and mock it. If that bothers you, ignore it.
I mean, you immediately jumped to a conclusion and started an argument about immigration when no one brought it up. No one thought monkeypox was racist and no one is blaming immigrants for it.

There’s been a big shift in Hispanic politics, and they’re turning into republicans. Like James mentioned, they just flipped a Texas seat red last night that has been in Democrat control for over a hundred years. Also, Elon Musk endorsed her and has left the Democrat party to become a Republican. I’ve noticed a war between conservatives and populists and the rise of what they call “Barstool” republicans, who are more liberal. I’m wondering how this all plays out.
There’s a big chance an immigration bill gets passed soon. There’s a push to bring in more immigrants because of job shortages from the right. I would never have thought they’d get a gun bill passed, but here we are. This election is going to be very interesting.

Good employees do get poached. Are they offering incentive bonuses? They’re doing that here but it’s not really helping. Fast food places are the hardest hit right now.
I don’t know…I’m not in the fast food industry to be clear…there is a ‘fast food’ type mentality coming to healthcare….
It’ll be one of those situations where it looks greener on the other side of the fence…then all the things they were promised will magically disappear…but by then it’s too late…
I pay my people over industry standard…
Ah, I don’t think anyone would be running off to work at McDonald’s then

Remember when Bush refused to acknowledge we were in a recession?
It’s bad decision after bad decision.

I think Joe has natural aging issues, probably a little more than typical, but I don’t think he has dementia.
Pushing an energy bill would completely turn things around for him. He won’t because he’d have to agree to new drilling. He promised to cut everything Trump put in place in regards to energy. And he has.
