raised its minimum wage for all employees to $24/hr & all who work as little as 24hrs/wk gets health insurance. Target will prove: 1. The labor problem isn't people are lazy, it's that they aren't paid enough. 2. More ppl will shop at a store that treats employees right.

Derek Chauvin has appealed his murder conviction for the murder of George Floyd. There’s nothing to appeal. We all saw the video of his knee on Floyd’s neck. He deserves to sit in jail.

#Ukraine

Opinion:

With all the war news focusing on the tactical, weapons, and information sphere. What is not getting reported is, in my opinion, far more important. The horrifying abduction of Ukraine children. Their forced relocation to Russia. Perhaps as many as 1 million children, are now in Russian held territories, pulled from their families, or have already been abducted to Russia. They are systematically being told that they have always been Russian, that Ukraine never existed.

It's bad out there.
