Yesterday Big Mac medium fry $10.05 no soda.Thats Long Island not NYC, probably a buck more there.Is it beef shortage or minimum wage?Family of 4 will approach $50 with an ice cream. Id invest in peanut butter and jelly stocks if this continuesLa'.
I wouldn't know W - T - F to do with that thing, let alone, what it is.
As for Joys in my life, I've got 3 Great Granddaughters 2-3-5, and all of Flawless(beauty). The 3 year old looks EXACTLY like a Norwegian child, Blondest of Blond hair, Sky Blue Eyes and and a NY attitude.
My second Joy, is to get a Government Very Organized Labor Friendly, get the Federal Minimum wage Raised to $15 per hour, NOT like the abortion in Oklahoma AND NH, of $7.25 per hour ! And get to watch the F WALTONS and Jeff Bazos SQUIRM due to constant Sleepless nights ! Finally, a Federal Expanded National Railroad system, similar to the Railroads of western Europe !!
Lastly La', in the Joy section. I Hope and Pray that LIMBAUGH lasts' until 11/04/2020 !!
PS, La'.
I still have a 'Flip' cell phone !!

That is not joy Bears it is a political agenda.My second Joy, is to get a Government Very Organized Labor Friendly, get the Federal Minimum wage Raised to $15 per hour, NOT like the abortion in Oklahoma AND NH, of $7.25 per hour !

That is not joy either Bears, that is just being a jerk.Lastly La', in the Joy section. I Hope and Pray that LIMBAUGH lasts' until 11/04/2020 !!
I don't understand why that is relevant but good for you I guess.PS, La'.

Also you think raising minimum wage to $15 an hour will make minimum wage workers more prosperous but it does not work that way. The market ALWAYS self corrects. Always. Raising the minimum wage to $15 dollars an hour does not increase the value of their wealth, it only gives them more dollars. I don't understand why the left can't understand this simple concept.
In fact raising the minimum wage will hurt you specifically because social security will not raise as fast as cost of living.
Raising the minimum wage also hurts us in international trade.

It does not matter if you raise minimum wage from $7.25 to $15.00 an hour because by the time the smoke clears (market correction) your $15 an hour has no more buying power than your $7.25 did.
You understand what I am saying?
What are you basing success on when you list Norway, Denmark, and Iceland.
You said a couple of weeks ago they made socialized medicine work and I showed you where every one of them cut their healthcare budgets despite taking on immigrants and population growth.
So less money for more people. But those taxes don't go down.
You are also ignoring the fact that they pay outrageous taxes in comparison to the United States so how much of that money do you think the employees actually take home?
If I made 100 dollars and pay 20 percent taxes (80 dollars in my pocket) and you make 500 dollars and pay 90 percent taxes ($50 in your pocket) which one of us is actually making more money? Me, because I am taking home 80 dollars. See how that works?
You were wrong about how successful their socialized medicine is. You sure you are right about their economy? Figure the taxes they pay and I bet their income won't seem so impressive then.
You know people trying to convince you that is the way forward never talk about the negative impacts.
Sure they have medical coverage. And they wait.... and wait..... and wait... and wait to get in to see a doctor. Do some research on how many have turned to private medical care and you might be shocked.No matter HOW MUCH they've adjusted the medical coverage in the Nordic countries, NO citizen of those countries goes without medical care and I'm not talking about the " ER " !!!
You are forgetting how much they are taxed. Just as an example if you make 100 dollars a month 25 dollars is a lot "cheaper" than if you make 50 a month. Believe me after taxes those prices are not at all comparable.Also, I've checked apt. rates in the larger cities in Norway ( Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, and the rates are no different than up here in the Northeast.
I suspect a lot of what you read is pushing a leftist agenda. Even if that is true it is not because they have a superior healthcare system. We have cheap food in this country and an appetite for processed food. Remove obesity resulting from our cheap, processed food and I assure you we would shoot up that list really fast. Diabetes is becoming so common as to be an epidemic. Again, due to diet choices. In fact the Indian hospital here (as in Native American) has made special provisions just to deal with diabetes. THAT is how bad it has gotten.If things are so BAD as you make them out to be in Denmark,Norway,Iceland, then Explain to me WHY, those countries are consistently rated as the HEALTHIEST, HAPPIEST most PROSPEROUS countries in the world, by super credible sources like the U S News and World Report ???

Private healthcare is on the rise in Norway Bears. Think there might be something to that?

How do you measure happiness? That alone makes me question the validity of your "statistics".
Prosperous? The United States is the richest country in the world. Not only is it the richest, the rest of the world uses OUR currency to trade on the international market. We would be much more so if our government would stop allowing welfare riders and make them get up off their ass and support themselves. Not to mention the BILLIONS of dollars we give in aid every single year.
Nothing you said changed my mind in the slightest Bears.
