feel free to search MyBB, you will find me arguing against government intervention and for personal liberty at almost every opportunity since years before Trump even announced he's running for office

something completely misunderstood by the echo chamber dwellers in this thread: Trump is not some golden god that can do no wrong in the eyes of those who support any/some/even most of his actions

I honestly can't even tell you what Trump's stance is on minimum wage, I know his stance makes no difference to the fact that it is objectively wrong, especially in a country that values freedom

Haven't heard from Pieter-Dirk Uys for a while:

OP-ED: Game of Groans: After DJ Trump leaves the White House, what fresh hell awaits?

The first warning fire-bell should have rung when we found out that the Trumps had become the first family in the White House not to have a pet. We should have known better: we, the world, would be their pet.

Thanks, will have a look. My wife & I always used to go watch his show whenever it turned up in Johannesburg theatres. What a man. :thumbsup: IMO, this guy is not really appreciated by South Africans enough.

“Hi South Africa! 300,000 of us have been arrested for breaching the lockdown rules. But nobody has been arrested for State Capture. Stand by for needle capture! And wear a mask! Keep your distance! Wash your hands! Teach your kids maths at home! No alcohol allowed! Stand by for your load shed. Oh yes, and be safe!”

Trump should have been pro raising minimum wage.
It’ll be better at keeping illegals out than the wall.

That's not logical.

People employ illegals so that they don't have to pay minimum wage.
High minimum wage = more job opportunities for illegals.

Same here by us. A lazy local wants R200 a day to do nothing, but you can get a hardworking Zimbo or Malawian for R100.

It depends on whether you enforce it.

The Minimum-Wage Cure for Illegal Immigration

With very different priorities, conservatives and progressives alike are supporting a higher minimum wage, an economist writes.

The same people thatpush minimum wage also like their sanctuary cities.

The guy in your link is wrong about some very basic economic principles. He has most of his opinion backwards.
