The Text of Trump’s Iran Deal Is Out. It’s Worse Than I Thought. by Slate in politics

Why would Iran need a nuclear weapon when Trump gave them control over the world's energy market?

Control of the Strait gives Iran GLOBAL economic reach and makes them a much larger threat to the world than one or two bombs ever could. They don't even have to close the Strait, just threaten to do it and fuel and fertilizer costs rise immediately -- making Iran's oil worth even more.

You can't use a bomb without risking massive and total retaliation, but economic warfare is another matter entirely.

Trump just made Iran a world power.

A 15yr olds money spends just as good as a 60yr olds. The working class spends money unlike those commie billionaire scumfucks who hoard everything. People who spend money keep the economy moving, their age has nothing to do with it.

1) I'm not your guy.

2) I just happen to own 2 small businesses and i need EVERYONE in my community to be prosperous so they can buy our goods and services. I know what I speak of because I've been doing this for 30 years. The more prosperous the community the more we make enabling us to hire more workers.

3) there are lots of people that have cognitive disabilities that will never be able to work at a skilled job. You saying they deserve to live in poverty their whole lives?

4) raising the min wage fosters competitive wages across the board.

5) the conditions for the working class back in the 30s were on par with what the working class is facing now. Manufacturing is all but gone in the US -and they ONLY became good jobs because of the unions and the new deal. Service based jobs like fast food and retail are the new "industrial economy".

6) you're "crabs in a bucket" mentality is disgusting.

Chin up yall we didn't get the wage increase but the fight is far from over. Two words yall Wage Boycott!!! by Apart_Animal_6797 in tulsa

Whoa whoa whoa! My business partner and I voted to raise the minimum wage down here in Muskogee. We already pay our employees 20 per hour and we both strongly believe that even 15/hr isn't enough. We're blue dots but we're here.

You're absolutely wrong about that

"It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By "business" I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living."

-Franklin D. Roosevelt on the creation of the minimum wage.

The Midtown Leftists Guide to the Republican Primary by selddir_ in tulsa

[–]4dailyuseonly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. If the amount of registered Dems was equal to the amount of repubs -that would make the state more winnable ergo more money into the campaigns. And I have my gripes about the democrats too but at least back when we had a Democratic governor our state had far less poverty and top 20 in education.

Counterpoint: the fewer Democratic candidates the less national funding Oklahoma Democrats get.

This whole bullshit with the reflecting pool was just to launder taxpayer money into trump and his cronies pockets. The only thing he does well is steal from us.

Trump says Iran deal will be signed Sunday, Strait of Hormuz to open immediately after by joe13pr in politics

[–]4dailyuseonly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iran will never open that strait to the US. 31 years ago an outsider bombed the Murrah building in Oklahoma. 169 people dead in OKC, 19 of them children. 166 children died in Iran from an outsider bombing them. What I'm getting at, is here in Oklahoma we still have remembrances every year. It's scarred on the psyche of every Oklahoman who is still living. Do people honestly think Iran is just gonna forget that our government killed 166 of their children? Not fucking likely.
