I suppose that depends on what you mean by "come to a head very soon." Right now, the national unemployment rate is 3.6%, which is a low number. In other words, there is no longer a large segment of workers not working because of the pandemic. There is no large segment of workers hanging back...

Cops: Very, very, very few cities are defunding their police departments. In our city, two of five city council people are former career police officers. They have the department's back. Defunding the police is the last thing on our city council's mind. So those are not the reasons it is...

Go to McDonald's and tell me how many workers have been replaced by drive-through windows and self-service kiosks. That illustrates the impacts of technology, innovation and changing consumer trends. Regarding older/younger people working at McDonald's, I don't know the numbers but there seems...

At present, unemployment is low and wages are sharply increasing. If we discount all other variables and consider only illegal immigration, there is a positive correlation between illegal workers and job and wage growth. The solution is therefore obvious. If we want more jobs and higher wages in...

If I decide to take on a second job and go out and get one, am I taking a job away from another American? If I hire someone who already has a job and will now work two jobs, would you have me instead wait to hire someone who has no job and seeks one? If I place an ad for a janitor, and one...

In this case, true dat.

I think you may find it helpful to rethink your assumption that wages are driven down by illegal immigrants who are flooding the labor markets. Right now, in Florida at least, labor is scarce, but illegal immigration is said to be a big problem. Your characterization of the problem is...

I think your use of the label "Chamber of Commerce Republicans" is inaccurate and unfair. I am a Chamber board member in our city. While there are businesses in our city that hire illegal aliens, I do not know of a single Chamber member who does. Not one.

An encouraging development for those who think Trump is not above the law, there is a reasonable basis to believe he committed a crime or crimes, and he should be brought to justice. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/02/georgia-grand-jury-probing-trump-over-election-meddling-set-to-begin.html

On that we have some common ground. I do not object to foreign workers coming to America to work. In Florida this is a common sight. Just last week, a crew of non-English-speaking people (I presume Mexicans) re-roofed our neighbor's house and they did a pretty good job. They were well equipped...

What is a "Chamber of Commerce" Republican?

There is always a simple solution, isn't there? Just do this, than that. Just do that, then this, and all will be well. And oh, yes, I almost forgot. If something's wrong, it's the Democrats' fault.

I think the ineffectiveness of the wall indicates that is the real factor. A wall alone will do nothing. No wall with law enforcement will. So why is there insufficient law enforcement to stop the flow of illegal immigrants? It's because our country lacks the collective political will to stop...

Interesting item from this article: "Border crossings have increased sharply despite the completion of the 30-foot barrier, records show. San Diego border agents made 16,660 arrests in March, roughly four times as many as they averaged monthly before 2019." So, in that county, Trump's wall got...

Whether or not that can be characterized as parental rights, and whether or not it undermines the interests of the majority are items of public debate. Disney and all others are free to weigh in on those issues and all others. Disagreeing with the governor does not in itself undermine anyone's...

In what way is Disney undermining the interests of a large majority of Floridians?

The Disney/Reedy Creek "Privilege" Fox News shared this good summary of how Disney and the Florida state legislature made the deal to create the Reedy Creek Improvement District. "The special status, known as The Reedy Creek Improvement Act, was signed in 1967 in response to lobbying efforts...

Or it could be 100 other stories that anyone can make up like a fairy tale. We simply don't know.

They were not fired. They resigned. Trump loves to fire people and make a big show of it. If they were actually fired, we would have heard all about it. Reports came out that they resigned and no one from Trump world said otherwise. So it is not true that they were fired as you first suggested...
