“Price control” is useless when said items are unavailable, either via Chavez type edicts or zero for export from the US. Just goes to show they have no new ideas, always resorting g to well entrenched failed policies

Minimum wage is an entry level salary. Any employee still on minimum wage Beyond one year
Needs to evaluate a) their skills/efforts or b) the caliber of company they work for.
Having said that I wonder how many people this renders “unemployable” aka, sad to say, not worth $260/week? In any case this will push the cost of living up, just as expanding price control pushes up the cost of all other items.
Stupid is as stupid does.

Won't get any Creme de la Creme borrowers with that move !

Why? Control. Bring all currency under Government control. All transactions, domestic and foreign.
All Governments are pushing this. All in the name of security.
Those who would give up a little freedom for security
will end up with neither.

All useless without Enforcement.
Foreigners can consult, get paid and be ignored.
Not so with Locals, paid or not.

Just askin. Is it time to hoard?

As poorly as they have written amendments to existing legislation we would probably be horrified by their rewriting of a whole constitution!
Besides, we don't even follow the existing one properly.

Maybe the union could agree to terms to increase Civil servant performance in the first year, followed two improvements in the second year etc.
Taking the country to where it used to be would be horrible!

Junkanoo is so far removed from what it once was, back when it was not Funded by Government I will add.
It has been destroyed by political interference and committee.
The costumes are pretty, no shortage of talent but I'd expect with that kind of $$ thrown at it
After falling asleep the last couple times I attended I decided no more for me.

On $928,500 seed money for Junkanoo
