Buttigiegs proposal of a $15 minimum wage would NOT? He cannot institute that by executive order. Most credible minimal wage proposals I've seen institute the increase over a multi-year period. I personally think the economy could absorb an increase like that without much harm. Granted, I'm not sur...

Because you jumped all over someone who made the suggestion that a radio personality may have gotten lung cancer from smoking marijuana, this forum will be opened for a less emotional discussion. Face it. Marijuana, like Tobacco, is a substance that is set on fire and inhaled into the lungs. It doe...

Just out of curiosity, since I havent seen it brought up-- how is Charlotte? Ive been told that its a nice city. Downtown can be pricey and its more cosmopolitan, but the outskirts *might* be the more typical Southern city-slow-paced, inexpensive, hospitable. I havent heard much about crime and/or b...

For most of the working class, the recession of 2008 has never ended. The economy is bad still for the "common folk". Only the higher classes are doing well. However, since the working stiffs and especially the poor are nothing more than expendable wallets, it really doesn't matter anyways. If that...

A lot of what you wrote was over my head as this isn't my area of expertise, but do you think that a Democrat (in particular someone like Bernie or Warren) winning in 2020 would quickly trigger a recession? Biden or Buttigieg likely wouldn't. Bernie or Warren almost assuredly would. Buttigiegs prop...

I wasn't talking economic numbers or that kind of stuff, I mean the general attitude that's going on in the country right now. I don't like it. Since Trump has got in, it's been drama. Metrics: 2000 Presidential election, 9-11, Iraq War, 2004 presidential Election, Economic meltdown in 2008, The Di...

If money were no object at all and other things in my life were different, I'd live in San Diego in a heartbeat. I must admit I don't know a lot about W.Michigan but jobs tend to be lacking, from the data I've seen. I have some family that lives around Big Rapids but I have not seen them years. Buf...

I have enjoyed Warren Pierce for years. I found his interviews very interesting and informative. WJR needs this announcer to counter the "hate" people(does not include Mitch Albom, the other decent announcer) now on the station. The only "hate" I ever see comes from people who cant keep their "hate...

Detroit, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Traverse City, and Marquette are all infinitely better than shitty Buffalo, but keep on setting your sights to the sky!

A few years ago, Buffalo was ranked Americas most miserable city.
I think 98% of US cities would be preferable.

Riddle and Rev. williams both strike me as bitter, angry old men who are making a career out of finding any potential racism out of anything they can to cover for or justify their own apparent hatred of white people. Why is Oprah off limits? Just an egotistical opportunist who makes money selling an...

I have to hand it to the Dems. They never run out of ways to steal an election.

I like Holland, Mi. Yes, its touristy. But it doesnt seem as dependant on that. Or as detached from jobs. Its not too far from Grand Rapids and I think it picks up some of their activity. Holland Twp has a lot of modern retail and the old indoor mall went through a makeover. Areas near Georgetown se...

Michigan, East side of the state no way. I do like western michigan. I've always kinda dreamed about TC area but not sure about a living wage job , for someone who doesn't have a college degree. Lexington has a lot going for it I agree. WNY is I admit hit or miss in aspects but I find the climate s...

Anything can be a weapon. Banning things wont help solve whatever problem is causing people to act violently in the first place. Stop looking at the method and focus on the source. How many anti-gun people drive cars? Terrorists use THOSE as weapons. Y'all on the left LOVE talking about Charlottesvi...

There's a little noticed reason why many small businesses fail. Back in the day when Grandma and Grandpa started Corner Market or Family Hardware, there was Mom, Pop, and a kid or two after school and on the weekends working there. Three generations later, Mom, Pop, the kids, the kids spouses, and ...
