Did it really take awarding the Nobel Prize for folks to realize the Rick Berman, GOP governors, and a slew of other naysayers are full of crap? With their claims that changes in the minimum wage causes job losses. Or, the extended unemployment benefits the US offered during the pandemic meant folks wouldn’t work.

Like many bloggers, I have developed friendships around the world, “meeting” folks who want to grow their audience and publish interesting stories.
