Taylor Swift's 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗢𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮 is greater than any other song of Michael Jackson. He's overhyped.

My husband set the standard.

After private equity took over Krispy Kreme, a dozen donuts hit $22. Unsold ones go straight in the trash instead of being sold cheaper.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

You are a complete moron, Pete. First, Obama's "agreement" basically gave Iran unlimited cash to harden their terror proxy network and stockpile ballistic missiles while simply delaying the inevitable — large-scale LEGAL enrichment with zero breakout time and the military power to use it. Second, Iran's real enrichment acceleration happened under Biden because he was WEAK — loosening sanctions, easing pressure, and working to reopen their pathway to a legal nuclear program. Instead of legitimizing Iran's nuclear weapons program, President Trump is focused on ending it.

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.
