@PeterMcCormack So, he's a multi millionaire who maybe likes coffee, likes the idea of opening a nice coffee shop, and employs some local workers. Now that the minimum wage will go up to £15, the business stops being profitable. He's opened the business to employ people but now it's not viable.

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses.
I’ll explain for the economically illiterate.
Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add:
- 12.07% holiday
- Sick pay
- Maternity pay if and when required
- National insurance
- Pension contributions
These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up.
Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t.
Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics.
Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs.
There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay.
So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost.
Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes.
The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

The Greens will raise the minimum wage to £15 for all workers 💪

@Pogithegoat @mou55981652 He's in great shape for the classics and multi stage races but maybe he needs to drop some kg's for the Tour?

@mou55981652 Honest question. From what you are seeing in Romandie do u think Pogacar is still in the best shape and will easily win tour? it worries me a bit

@eip1559 I use my Model Y RWD all season in the French Alpes and yeah, slap a decent pair of winter tyres on and you have no problems.
English

when I was first purchasing my model 3 RWD there was only one question I had in my mind…
How does it perform in snow as a RWD..
The answer is that it performs quite well as long as you have a good set of tires..
You can still be fine on all seasons but don’t expect the same performance as winter tires…
Gas cars as rear wheel drive don’t perform as well because of weight distribution but Tesla’s weight distribution is skate board style battery pack which spread out and heavier
Throw on the right winter tires and RWD in Canada performs great
Plus now you get way more range as well

@EricLDaugh Good. I'm sure the people of these countries will be happy with this.

@TheUnitedExtra He had a decent game but at the same time, they gave some Brentford players way too much space. We were just lucky they didn't score more.

even the throw was ours 😭😭

@Jordan_Sather_ @NewsBlast17 Why are you so hot to comment on everything I see about DW?

@NewsBlast17 He's been sliding down a delusional path for years, was dealing with massive financial problems and recent divorce, along with his personality disorders.
This one wasn't a Deep State hit.

David Wilcock, 53, UFO researcher and disclosure advocate, reportedly died by self-inflicted gunshot on April 20, 2026, at a residence on Ridge Road near Nederland, CO—his known home.
Boulder County Sheriff's Office responded to a 911 call for a male in mental health crisis holding a weapon.
He used it on himself within minutes of deputies arriving and was pronounced dead at the scene. No official name released yet—coroner pending family notification.
Wilcock did a positive livestream on April 17 ("Pathway to Peace"), focusing on life, gratitude, current events, and disclosure.
He had previously stated he was not suicidal and planned on living.
Timing: just as UAP/disclosure momentum builds, amid reports of multiple UFO-linked scientists missing or dead in recent years.
Facts only.
Questions remain.

@NASAAdmin Just another distraction away from the atrocities that the USA & Israel are committing in the Middle East. Disgusting.

@shaunmmaguire Because they maim and kill hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children. It's really not that hard to understand.
