Job that are not second jobs, at a restaurant just so people can get by.

We need to compete against other communities to bring new businesses to Columbia. Unfortunately, this requires incentives in both taxes and sweet deals for utility service to be competitive.

The communities strength, is in the communities resources. It is far better to work for a secure employer.

Small business owners are more important as a state's tax incentive investment, especially since COVID-19 is still impacting locally-owned businesses. Tax incentives can identify locally-owned business success, and that identified success can attract the global exports, putting Missouri on the map.

COVID is no different than the common cold. The impacts to our economy that we are still suffering from were caused by government's panicked over-reaction, wasteful spending, fear mongering, power grabbing, etc.

KC has fallen. The entire Chiefs and Royals kingdom is conservative. They are looking for ANY excuse to get out of the blue cult.

Israel must do what they think best, regardless of outside pressure. Israel must defeat Hamas or Gaza will continue to attack Israel; the next attack will be worse than Oct 7 where % of population killed was way higher than US 9-11. Would US head calls to end conflict after 9-11, heck no. FJB.

Every time they have accepted a ceasefire, the enemy has ambushed them again. They need to solve the problem once, and for all.

If there is a ceasefire, how will we reduce the population? Death is truly the best way to help the world, and war is the tool. (Please Bill, hire me.)
