Oh so there are no people who hold racist beliefs who became successful in the last 20 years. Well given that I don't know the racial beliefs of well most people, I mean why would I... the whole premise of your post is absurd. I guess I can't argue with you...Quote:

He's smart enough to divorce himself from his past views publicly, but I believe that as much as I believe in Elon Musk's Brain implant.

Maybe for the Walmarts and McDonalds $15 is reasonable in comparison to the CEOs salary but $15 is not reasonable for small businesses and small businesses employ more people than large corporations. A $15 an hr minimum wage would kill small businesses, at least many of them. So no, I don’t see that as a reasonable starting point.Quote:

Do you mean Stephen Miller? I googled David Miller and that’s who came up...Quote:

Killing small businesses is reasonable? It’s not a reasonable offer to entertain. It would be like conservatives offering a 1 cent raise in the minimum wage and stipulating it can’t be raised again for 20 years.Quote:

What if we cut taxes on small businesses (which we should do anyway) to offset the cost increase of a $15 minimum wage?Quote:

No because the cut in taxes would not impact the cash flow quick enough to offset that type of change in a small business.Quote:

I don’t not see how a racist person could do this consistently. As you even said, eventually their feelings would come to be known. So they are either extremely good at hiding their feelings or eventually they get outed and typically lose their success, which is my point.Quote:
