People cannot live on what the minimum wage is now. Simple logic!

I think the price increase is great for people to get back to work and get off an appointment and living off the government cuz this is not the American way Americans work for a living get off your ass and go back to work

I also think that people who are holding out on unemployment should return to work. Some of us have been working throughout the pandemic without the option of taking government aid or unemployment. it's time to do your fair share and participate in the community you live in

This poll is redundant. It is a simple fact(common sense) that an increased minimum wage costs jobs.

It's not necessary at all. Living costs going down would be a better answer.

Minimum wage was never meant to live on.

It's not necessarily only about salary. The cost of living (food, housing, gas, health insurance, etc) have all greatly increased. Paying increased minimum wage results in increased prices for businesses that often cannot afford to pay more.

Hurts the small business owners. They will just hire fewer people to compensate. Geez, tired of people who have NEVER run a business before making these kinds of decisions.

Renting in this town is all ready on the absolutely crazy side. Increasing minimum wage will just makes things worse. its bad enough i get my rent raised every year and well this increase wont cover it at all. The renting prices are out of hand and I feel no matter how much I make it wont matter

It doesn't help because it just causes the cost of everything to increase. Therefore, it makes no difference.

It will never be enough, as long as people get "free money" from the state and federal programs, they will not work. Stop the handouts!

Switched to YouTube from Cable like it so much better because of what we normally watch is programmed for us.

I'd say it's like 60/40 in favor of things like user generated content, but it has more to do with time than anything else. Due to things like work and chores, I just don't have time during the day for movies/TV. But for a few hours in the evening, I tend to watch more movies/TV, which I prefer.

This is one of those where I'm voting the honest truth, even though I'd prefer it be the other (while still making time for Geekvolution, of course). I think it's because of how casually I can spend hours on YouTube, as opposed to being intentional about catching up on content I intend to consume.

Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

If it is a law and you break it regardless of what it refers to that is breaking the law- which by definition is criminal. If you put your pet in a situation that is unsafe that is your responsibility and ergo you are a bad pet owner. Pets are like our kids, it's our job to keep them safe.

yes because they are putting their dog as well as people with leashed pets at risk. Not all dogs like other dogs and not all people are comfortable with strange dogs running up to them.

There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

No, that's too big a generalization. However, those owners should never let their pet off-leash in those areas.

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?
