Now that Target has caved to the liberal “fight for $15” mob, employees are suffering. What’s great is that you just know there were some left-leaning employees of the retail chain who fought for $15 an hour. And now, they’re paying the price bigly.

If only there was someone around to warn Target (and the radical left) that if you raise the minimum wage then businesses will be forced to cut workers’ hours, stop hiring, go out of business, and/or raise prices on consumers. Or…were there people saying that? It’s a mystery.

You have to feel bad for lefties, at times. You know, when they’re not violently harassing and attacking conservatives. These people just don’t know right from wrong; they know not what they do.

Two years ago, Target (TGT) said it would raise its minimum wage to $15 an hour by the end of 2020. The move won praise from labor advocates and put pressure on other companies to also move to $15.

But some store workers say the wage increases are not helping because their hours are falling, making it difficult to keep their health insurance and in some cases to pay their bills.

Continued:

CNN Business interviewed 23 current and former Target employees in recent months, including department managers, who say hours have been scaled back even as Target has increased starting wages. Many of these workers say the cuts, which come as Target’s business is in its strongest position in more than a decade, have hurt them financially. CNN Business agreed to withhold the last names of several of the current employees and the city where their store is located so they could speak freely.
We’re begging for hours.”

“I got that dollar raise but I’m getting $200 less in my paycheck,” said one, Heather, who started in November at a Florida store working around 40 hours a week. She’s now below 20 some weeks, she said. “I have no idea how I’m going to pay rent or buy food.”

Is 2020 over yet? Is 2021 going to be worse? If Joe Biden is elected president, it is certainly possible – but dang. This year has been a trip and it’s only halfway through. Just wait until we get closer to the election. It’s gonna be fireworks. From TDW: The city council for Montpelier, Vermont unanimously rejected a petition to paint an American flag and the phrase “Liberty and Justice for All” in front of the Vermont State House. The city council made its decision in a contentious Wednesday night meeting where the members heard arguments for the murals from GOP gubernatorial candidate John Klar and several other supporters. Klar wanted to paint the flag on one side of an existing “Black Lives Matter” motto on the street, and the phrase “Liberty and Justice for All” in red, white, and blue painted on the other side.

Black College Student Finds Racist Notes On His Car, Evidence Shows He Planted Them Himself

How many race hoaxes does this make, now?

Race hoax, race hoax, where for art thou race hoax? It’s hilarious to think that some people believe they’ll get away with acts of nonsense like this, attempting to blame an entire group of people over something that never happened. If Texas A&M had a spine, they would expel this student on the spot. But they won’t. It would be bad press. From The Daily Wire: In late June, Texas A&M University student Isaih Martin made headlines after he said he found racist notes on the windshield of his car. […] Late last week, Texas A&M police closed the investigation. Just as in nearly every other instance of an alleged hate crime like this, police determined that the accuser was responsible for the notes. […] Police said there were no cameras to clearly capture what happened, but nearby surveillance footage showed only a few people walking near Martin’s car during that time frame, none of whom were near the car long enough to post the notes. […] Police said that “based on video evidence, no other person had enough time to place the messages on Martin`s car other than himself.” How about them apples? The worst part is that the guy will most likely never have to answer for his crime. What kind of life lesson is that?
