Mr.TaterSalad

First off, as I've said before I want these people to be paid fair market, livable wages. If you're worried about undocumented people affecting the cost of goods and services were they to be paid more, a living wage, are you saying you don't want any American citizens who take these jobs to be paid livable wages either? Furthermore, we already have an estimated labor shortage of 1.7 million workers. So if we deport an additional, estimated, 8.3 million undocumented workers on top of that we're at an estimated nearly 10 million worker shortage. How do we make up that deficit because there aren't enough American workers to make it up right now or seemingly in the future. So you don't want people to be paid at livable wages because of cost concerns, and you don't want undocumented people doing these jobs either at any wage because they came here illegally. So who exactly is going to fill these jobs? Someone has to, the need for them isn't just going to disappear. Do you want and/or expect American citizens to work below market value pay and do these jobs?

I have full confidence in Dan Campbell to make the right decisions with his staff. So if he thinks Sheppard is the best choice to get the promotion to DC I'm just fine with it. Sheppard knows the players and knows the system Glenn has run. I do hope they make a serious commitment to addressing the pass rush and getting better players that can put consistent pressure on the QB. I hope their answer isn't another oft-injured gamble like they took with Davenport.

Not a Nazi though.

An alleged alcoholic, an alleged domestic abuser, an alleged sexual predator who paid a women off for $50,000, and a guy who had to resign from a military-related charitable organization for alleged financial impropriety is what we need?

Questions for our Trump voting friends here about the economy and immigration. We know that many people on the right have said that "no one wants to work anymore." That was a common refrain post-Covid with all the labor shortages occurring. Currently, according to estimates from the Center for Migration Studies of New York and other groups/think tanks, there as many as 8.3 million undocumented immigrants work in the US economy. They make up an estimated 5.2% of the US workforce. In the agriculture, farm, and food processing industries undocumented immigrants make up nearly 40-44% of the workforce according to estimates from the USDA. Undocumented immigrants work in construction (est. 1.5 million), restaurants (est. 1 million), agriculture and farms (est. 320,000), groundskeeping/landscaping (est. 300,000), and food processing and manufacturing (est. 200,000), among many other occupations. Donald Trump has talked about engaging in the largest mass deportation effort in history and has talked about deporting millions of undocumented people. So if no one wants to work, and we have these labor shortages in the US workforce, how is mass deporting some 8.3 million workers, or 5% or so of the labor force, going to help improve the economy? How is deporting 40-44% going to lower costs on food prices at the grocery store or at restaurants? If 5% or so of our labor force is deported, who is going to fill those jobs in agriculture/farm/food processing, construction, groundskeeping/landscaping, hospitality, housekeeping, etc.? How long will it take for businesses, small and large, to backfill these roles? Who does these jobs in the meantime while they are waiting to hire prospective employees, onboard, and adequately train them?

BS list. Any list that doesn't include Dan Clearly, Todd Bertuzzi, or Mikael Samuelsson is incomplete. Datsyuk was traded away, Dan Cleary was resigned. You be the judge of who is the better player.

The party of family values and the moral majority of America just confirmed a man for Secretary of Defense that has multiple, documented allegations of domestic violence and sexual assault against him. Tell me about your values again please.

Trump is a lot like the callers on 97.1 who haven't the faintest clue what they are talking about but are so certain in their opinions. The callers that will ignore all stats and analytics in favor of the some opinion that they didn't put two seconds into actually researching. They will regale you with stories from the 68 or 84 Tigers and how great it all was back then and how much the game has changed for the worse.

I thought the right hated big tech and was mistrustful of it? It wasn't that long ago that the right was talking about tech as big brother and a real threat to freedom and speech. I guess since the right owns most of big tech now that it's all good.

CNN: Trump administration directs federal health agencies to pause communications They literally stopped the CDC from sharing updated information and communications on bird flu with medical providers and hospitals. Meanwhile, antivax HHS Director Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is out promoting raw milk and is looking to hire the CEO of a raw milk company in California who's company has been fined because they've found listeria, salmonella, and other contaminants in his raw milk and at his facilities. And oh by the way, bird flu is transmissible in raw milk because it remains unpasteurized. This is what the American people wanted though.

I see Trump is trying to walk back his VA hiring freeze.

At least he's not a drag queen. That'd be bad.

The Guardian: KKK distributes flyers in Kentucky telling immigrants to ‘leave now’ I'll tell you whose side I'm not on. I'm not on the side of the Klu Kluk Klan.

When Tim Walz starts supporting the AfD Party in Germany and makes the kinds of bigoted, racist, xenophobic remarks that Elon has we can talk.

You know Trump just loves the bible, really every verse. He couldn't possible name you his favorite. They are also so special, he wouldn't want to leave any out. Such a good, bible loving, religious man. Nobody loves bible more and knows bible better. He knows lots about the bible. So many really tremendous parts of the bible. It's just a tremendous bible, written by a really tremendous guy, Jesus. Bible is number one, Art of the Deal is number two. It's a close second because his book is also tremendous. So tremendous.

CNBC: Trump threatens Russia with sanctions, tariffs if Putin doesn’t end Ukraine war Aren't sanctions and freezing assets what we're already doing? So, basically, he's going to keep doing largely what is already being done from the Biden Admin and European allies.

Did the war in Ukraine end yet? Trump said he could end it in 24 hours.

What will the right be mad about today?

Which side of the aisle spent years raging over the citizenship of a black President (including the current President), raged about the ACA, raged about election results, vandalized the US Capitol building, and beat police officers senseless?

Exactly this. If you're so confident that Musk didn't make the Sieg Heil salute than have the confidence at work to gesture exactly as he did twice to all of your coworkers and colleagues.

President Musk is openly promoting and supporting the far right AfD Party in Germany. The AfD Party has a history of antisemitism, bigotry, Islamophobia, and xenophobia. Even the Conservative Party leadership in Germany has denounced the AfD and President Musk's support for it.

GTFO OF HERE! Infrastructure week is back already.

Trump mocks people with disabilities and the right excuses his behavior. So it isn't like they'd care about Elon anyways even if he was differently abled or had a disability.

And unelected Czars running things too.

Yeah, I didn't put in important context there in my post. That was my fault as I misrepresented it as we get 60% of our overall oil usage from Canada. Thank you for the correction.
