This is utter nonsense. Outlaw tips and make them subject to normal minimum wage.

France is now on the same track as Italy and others now, with birth rates taking a nose dive from 2015 and again another 13% drop just from 2020. Their immigration system is just as much a mess as the U.S. too. It'll be interesting to see where they go from here. Sadly a good bet they move the same directly as Italy, into a population death spiral.

The candidates from the GOP smell like my Son's dirty diapers. The only difference between them is the color of the poo.

Advocating hatred against LGBTQ people, is bullying which also happens on college campuses and has even regularly spewed by the current speaker of the house. That should also be against the code of conduct on college campuses and especially in Congress. Simple as that.

The problem is that these positions are unconstitutional. The real world doesn't have safe spaces. What's next? Banning books? Morality police?

Stunning - they found an even more extreme whack job than Jordan.

Condemning Israel is not anti-Semitic, Nora's calling out the atrocities committed by the people in Israel against the Palestinians. The fact of the matter is, Israel's repeated violations of international law and pushing beyond boundaries established by the United Nations push the Palestinians into the arms of Hamas. If Israel had displayed years and years ago a good faith effort to establish a Palestinian state and treated the Palestinians with respect, The problems would have been solved long ago. Instead for decades Israel has pushed an apartheid state, randomly killing Palestinian citizens and treating them like garbage, perpetuating the problem. We (the US)should not be supporting Israel given their reprehensible behavior and continue to legal stealing of Palestinian land and continued abhorrent treatment of the Palestinian citizens. I am Jewish by blood, atheist by belief, I hate Israel. I don't blame young people in the United States at all for their protests against Israel.

At the same time I also hate Hamas. However I view them as a disease, and the cause is Israel. For every innocent civilian they kill, Israel creates at least one terrorist, if not more. Their current course of action will only make things worse in the long run.

The mental health impact of this must be beyond measure. Just over and over...

These devices were annoying a decade ago. Comical that people still buy these when Roku and Android TV are so much nicer.

No, it's toxic. Replace it with carbon steel, stainless steel, or cast iron.

I live in a very Jewish area, with the Halocost Museum 20 minutes away, my brother in-law is Jewish, I'm friends with his whole family and a bunch of others. Nobody supports Israel, and it's a common topic of conversation. I don't know anyone either in local politics that supports Israel, and I am active there. Israel IS the problem - their horrible treatment of Palestinians resulted in Hamas rising to power. they're continued unrelenting land grabs and abuse have continue to strengthen Hamas. They want to continue to steal land, and if they make peace they won't be able to. If You total the body count over the last decade there are far far more dead Palestinians than there are Israelis.

Even now, with every civilian they kill in their response, they create four or eight more terrorists. Israel's government is on the fast track to authoritarianism with the anti-democratic movement there that is actually worse than the GOP here. We should not be giving them a dime. We don't owe them anything, and we're broke. We've giving them more than enough.

The Democrats are on the wrong side of history for every day they don't condemn the atrocities Israel is committing.

I have no sympathy at this point for anyone buying one of these pieces of garbage from a company led by a person who quite obviously a flaming piece of garbage, producing products that are quite obviously flaming pieces of garbage.

I mean, there are so many alternatives now, you really have to ignore how horrible Musk is to buy one of these, and you have to have your head stuck in the ground for a couple of years now to not know that Tesla quality control is diaper poo.
