    Good. I would think this would be largely viewed as good move by the vast majority of the ticket buying public. But I’m sure it’ll somehow become partisan. For extremely stupid reasons.

    I don't know why anyone argues with the guy. You'd have an easier time navigating a minefield on a pogo stick. And it'd be more fulfilling.

    Whatever the cost of living, they were earning less than half that 4 years ago.

    Isn't that how it is supposed to work? If there is a demand for your services, you can negotiate a better paycheck,

    My sympathies overflow for the suffering homeowners of Palm Beach.

    Of course. They aren't stealing their salaries. There are bidding wars for those workers. That drives up the price to employ them.

    It's symptomatic of a bigger picture that affects you, too, FWIW.

    Since 2020, we have a central bank that has recklessly increased the money supply by more than 25 percent. Currency debasement is one thing. That is a staggering amount of currency debasement. It unleashed what everyone calls "inflation" when it comes to all kinds of things (including those housekeepers in Palm Beach): way too much money chasing way to few goods and services.

    Are Palm Beach maids the new State College waitresses?
