Should the federal minimum wage be raised, kept the same or lowered?

in my opinion, the only thing raising the minimum wage does is raise the cost of living and devaluates the dollar. I respect having a minimum wage, but lowering it would actually help in forcing a recession.

If you like, argue and write which country you live in in the comments. By political choices I mean literally everything the government does, from deciding where to spend tax money to international policy etc...

"While racism against Blacks, Asians, Jews… is a big deal, we must preserve the traditional family values that our European descent founding fathers have harbored in the New World."

Note 1: This question was inspired by the following question…

Americans: Should Both Biden & Trump Drop Out Of The 2024 Us Presidential Race?

…and was specifically inspired by @Dargil saying this on that question: “I would like to see a Constitutional Amendment setting the maximum age at Inauguration at 75.”

I probably won't reply to opinions but I have one request. This isn't about Trump. None of you would vote for Trump. This is entirely about Joe Biden and his fitness for president. I don't even care if you'll vote for him, just because he'll be your only choice as a democratic candidate. My question is, do you honestly believe he is fit, both mentally and physically, to be president?

If you want, write why in the comments, if you don't like any of the candidates offered and you have other names in mind, write your candidate in the comments

GOP Rep. Eli Crane Sparks Fierce Criticism After Saying ‘Colored People’ On House Floor

Rep. Eli Crane (R-Ariz.) referred to non-white Americans serving in the U. S. military as “colored people” in a shocking moment on the House floor Thursday, prompting a sharp rebuke from the former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Crane, a member of the far-right House Freedom Caucus, put forward an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act on Thursday that would ban consideration of “race, gender, religion, or political affiliations, or any other ideological concepts” in recruitment or promotion decisions as well as other aspects of military retention.

Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio), who chaired the Congressional Black Caucus from 2021 to 2023, took to the floor to argue the proposal would set back rights gained by people of color and women. Crane then went on to reject her arguments:

“I hope my colleagues on the other side can understand what we’re doing,” he said in closing.

Another person in the chamber can be heard questioning the term “colored people” before Beatty interjects.

“I’d like to be recognized to have the words ‘colored people’ stricken from the record,” she said. “I find it offensive and very inappropriate. … I am asking for unanimous consent to take down the words of referring to me or any of my colleagues as ‘colored people.’”

Crane later asked to have his comments amended to “people of color.” That request was rejected but the words “colored people” were removed from the record without objection.

Democrats were livid. The Congressional Black Caucus said Crane’s words were “unconscionable,” adding it was a “shameful moment on the House floor.”

I hate Facebook. But I hate “post Trump” Musk even more so fck his $48 million downfall. I mean Twitter ain’t out. And Zuckerman success is based more on Instagram’s popularity.

Note 1: Per reference article #1, “Under the guidance of the California Reparations Task Force, Democrat state lawmakers introduced Assembly Bill 852 which "would require courts, whenever they have discretion to determine a sentence, to consider the disparate impact on historically disenfranchised and system-impacted populations" with the intent of "rectifying racial bias." “

Anyone else feeling a “doth protest too much” vibe with the Republicans? They say we cheated the election. Nope, only evidence is their fake electors. Now Biden is a Chinese agent! Nope, they are.

Which form of government do you consider the best, given the fact that obviously it also depends on who the people who hold institutional roles are, but on average...

You cannot have both. Pick the one that is more important in your opinion.
