  • While I get that concern, keep in mind most magats haven’t traveled further than maybe a 15 minute drive, and they don’t even know where Canada is on a map. Wherever you are, they’ll never find it. So without the ability to vote, they’d be mostly harmless. Obviously Canada is already a nice place and doesn’t really have anything to gain, but please just consider it. I’m sure Trump would sell all 50 states to Canada in exchange for 2 McDoubles and some fries. Just hold back the second McDouble until he signs the paper.



  • How about we just make minimum wage a percentage of the highest income in the country? Take whoever made the most money in a given year, divide that by 52 weeks, and then divide that by 40 hours. Then divide whatever the result of that is by 1000. This should be very reasonable basis. It still allows for a huge wealth gap, but asserts that nobody should make over 1000 times more than anyone else. You still get rich and poor people, so this is in no way a leftist policy. It’s a very moderate middle of the road one.

    Anyway, looking at 2023. Not even examining his true income and how much he blew doing who knows what, Elon Musk had $95.4 billion net gain in wealth that year. Divide that by 52 weeks, 40 hours, and 1000 - we should make minimum wage $45865.38 per hour. And if that’s not reasonable or feasible, it just means he makes too much for the good of the economy.
