This should speak volumes to workers both in the US and here in Canada. In spite of all their lip service, RW politicians and their wealthy supporters are not your friends. The time to rethink your own support is NOW.
Republicans are very aware of the cost of living in their home state, however they deliberately REFUSE to raise minimum wage, proving that they do not care about their own voters.
Most of the money will go into VonShitzinhispants pockets.. in many arena's these donations are referred to as "pay for play".
The reason why Trump covets the presidency is to make himself richer, none of this is about America or about the American people.
America needs to have a stay away in solidarity, you have to affect the bottom line for change. That’s how we do it in SA. The country downs tools and takes protest action by staying home.
Trump will be pocketing most of that. Just like he did last time, with zero consequences. This time he’ll take even more because he’s NEVER held accountable. It’s sickening.
I think the bigger concern is big business's excitement about a fascist in office. History shows us that big business always sides with fascists and will help them with their end goals regardless the cost of human life.
With everything Trump promised, this should be horrifying.
Where is this money going? It’s bribe money, so it goes directly into Trump’s pockets, right? And what have they bought for this money; tax breaks, cancelation of pesky rules and laws that protect consumers and nature perhaps?
They can. They just don’t want to. They think happy and contented employees are lazy employees. They are on ego trips the likes of which we’ll never know or care to know.
Honest Question: what happens to that money? Or what is legally supposed to happen? Is it spent on parties, etc? I never really understood how that works.
Has a single one of them donated any of their millions $ to victims & cities of mass killing sprees by American-born murderers or only to a convicted sex abuser/convicted business fraud/2x impeached ex-govt employee who lost his job 4 yrs ago & tried to steal it back from voters? That's the maga M/O
Aside from the overly abusive trolls. Be on the lookout for those who tell you that all is lost or that your politicians have left let you down and there’s no one you can trust don’t bother to vote, etc.. overt and obvious bullying isn’t the only way to destroy resistance to tyranny.
this says EVERYTHING about the current state, and fate, of our country. Billions into campaign finance but an extra $1/hour will end the world. Grotesque
Because they don't want to pay their workers a living wage. How dare we suggest such a thing...we are peons, just ask them.
BTW, what about a swearing in ceremony justifies asking the rich to contribute toward a 250 million dollars. Sounds like bribery going in both directions to me. pay for play.
Let The Great Greed commence! Our social security coffers just became rocket fuel. I guess we're just going to roll over and just let them pick our bones clean.
The scope of corruption, lies, and emerging fascism in this country is vast and heartbreaking. Most of those working class folks who voted for Trump will see their lives get worse, not better, and government help slashed to pay for more tax cuts for the rich.
What are they buying with $200million?
Does Kid Rock actually cost anything to hire?
Can they eat it?
Or is it all just getting paid to Inmate P01135809 legal costs?
That's nit shit. $200m is not enough for 4 hrs '24 increase. "
Twenty-one states will increase their minimum wages on January 1, raising pay for more than 9.2 million workers by a total of $5.7 billion." You have no idea of the scale of the challenge or it' s knock-on to employment.
I see what you did there. I am 100% with you on that one!!! These plutocrats that just took over, are going to drain the social security coffers for rocket money.
Indeed! They're going to need more than the 2 concentration camps, that trump had built during his last presidency, to house all of us the lefty looney people who didn't vote for the rapist. 😞
And why hasn't he released his tax records and medical records like the other president's have done. I want to know what this money is going too. Right into his pocket
Mobilize and boycott the billionaires. Start with Tesla, Starbucks, Amazon, Whole Foods. Shop local at mom and pop shops. Do not support Republican owned businesses. Get the No Thanks app or Boycat app. Know who is getting your money.
Red is the state of Texas, min. wage $7.25 an hour. Some people have to work these low pay jobs to make it and other doen't make it. CEO's get pay millions, governors pay thousands and etc. What wrong here? Min. wage should start at $15.00 an hour. Somebody is getting over payed

Burgers, fries, Diet Coke and pocket the rest!!

No one is forcing them to do so, however.
Not Congress, that's for sure.
That they wouldn’t give it to their employees to help with college or mortgages etc
Guess the balance will just line his pockets. 🤬
With everything Trump promised, this should be horrifying.
Can't hardly wait to shove a few million under her matress.
EASY SCRIPT:
Hi, I'm calling to make my voice heard. I would like my representative to invoke Article 14, Section 3, as Donald Trump is not fit to serve AMERICA.

Do we know yet as to whether they have examined the public endorsed "Luigi Plan 2025".
Trump's tax cuts let the good times roll.
I’m sure it will happen again.

They get the perks, the workers get the bill.
