People should be able to making a living wage. Homelessness perpetuates when people cannot make a living wage. This shows up in mostly red states that have not raised the minimum wage beyond $7-something in years. At least the states that pay around $15-18/hr. are trying to do right.

During the Pandemic it was claimed that people received more from unemployment than from their actual job. So why is it even a debate about raising the minimum wage? I will always believe that America's greatest resource is its people.

Others argue that minimum wage jobs are entry-level and are often filled by students.

The United States should take everything it wants.

Eric Smith

Why not ask the Cubans, say in a vote, where they all get to voice their feelings, and not suppressed by their communist government.

Max

If we don't, then Disneyland might get it, and they would ruin it.

This has nothing to do with America 1st! Trump & the GOP can't handle what is happening in the US. Let alone messing up the Governments of other Countries. No one Voted for the U.S. to overthrow other Nations to take over their Governments. They Voted to have US problems fixed, not make them worse.

Kevin Blount

Of course not! So much for expecting a peace prize. Trump is as bad as Putin

Fred

We LIBERATE countries ... we don't try to colonize them!
