    The "fight for $15.00" is a national issue, and one progressives have been pushing hard.

    That a Democratic Mayor, who campaigned on the issue, is not willing to implement it is big news.

    It's a great slogan. It gets people fired up. But it would cost jobs. The mayor recognizes this and is using her veto to prevent it.

    I agree. Doing random man on the street stories is always shooting minnows in a barrel, as anyone in sports who's had to canvass a stadium parking lot or sports bar to hear "the voice of the fan" knows full well. They are no reflection of actual public opinion, so the reporter just tries to collate the silliest responses to avoid death by boredom.

    Yet another variation on your attempts to justify President Trump's lies, going back to his ridiculous campaign promises.

    If you mean "That's only news in Germany", you're wrong. The fact that the American president is utterly clueless about how NATO works and that Germany does not owe the United States a damn dime, yes, that's news.

    If you mean "Is it really news to us on SJ that Trump is utterly clueless about how NATO works, as he is about damn near every other procedure that does not boil down to "Trump said do it, so do it.", no that's not news.

    Well, let's wait and see if he mysteriously dies in custody. It might be worth revisiting then.

    If I didn't know BTE was a real person, I'd swear he'd been kidnapped and replaced with a Putin bot.
