We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.
-
Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

This isn’t the free market when it’s mandated by law. The wages in a free market would be determined by supply and demand without government collusion
We don't live in a free market when business cartels can fix wages.
This is labor competing back with the same methods that capital uses.
Cry harder.
Isn’t about labor at all. It’s about the government setting wages.
Lots of people lost their jobs or hours. It’s weird you like to see them suffer by incompetent government action.
Do you think labor is the only one lobbying the government regarding wages?
Wake up.
Do you always talk in circles ? My statement is accurate. It isn’t free market when the government is mandating.
Unions are free market.
Now why you want the workers to cry harder is a weird response. Lots of people lost their jobs over this and you celebrate. Typical liberal.
Unions are aggressively suppressed by employers both via illegal tactics and lobbying the state for anti union laws.
I am sure you know these facts... By we don't see you crying over it unlike peasant win wage lol
In context of what I said, this makes zero sense.
Because your created narrow context for your argument that doesn't make much logical sense when you look at how system operates as a whole.
Picking good places for conservative arguements while ignoring big picture is a bad faith actor behavior.
I replied to a comment. You replied to who knows what as it had nothing to do with what I said. Maybe you should try responding to what the person said
BTW collusion requires two parties... Who is the government "collude" with more in the US
Asking for a friend.
Just because you don't understand something or refuse to do so, doesn't make it "who knows what"
I understand things well.
Please explain how your comment had anything to do with what I said. It doesn’t. Act in good faith.
Act in good faith? Ppfffft HA HA HA HA HA ha ha ha ha
"Good faith" at work
Do you always ignore what is inconvenient to you?
We don't live in a free market. It's a conservative fantasy. Grow up sometime.
When you start bitching about corporations lobbying the government to keep wages down maybe I'll take you seriously.
I never made the claim that we lived in a free market. Do you always make things up?
I responded to the statement that this was a free market and pointed out that we are not a free market .
Somebody's reading comprehension needs some work. You should quit as a mod.
It’s mandated by law because the corporations are too large to care to do it themselves and have to be told.
They’re just worried about making more money this quarter than last quarter. Under that reality, a law becomes necessary. Corporations have clearly shown they won’t pay their workers a decent wage when they don’t have to.
