    Why would they do that if climate change isn’t real?

    Wage theft is the bigger problem.

      I doubt there are very many politicians that consider wage theft to be a problem at all.

        Especially since their candidate committed it against all those polish immigrants to build one of his towers.

          Oh, I’m not going to limit it to one party on this.

          Neither major party has treated wage theft like the problem it is. I doubt either ever will

            That’s fair, and I’m sure many of those politicians in both parties have committed it as well. However the subject of the article has committed vast amounts of it. I think that’s worth mentioning. He’s the subject of the article after all.

                  It’s like those little penny trays in gas stations. Take a kidney, leave a kidney.

    …and GOP voters in general are reporting they are more likely to support electing people convicted of felonies after Trump’s conviction [unless they’re brown, Muslim, atheist, democrat or gay].

    Fixed that for you!

        No joke I worked at a Walmart in the early 90s and they caught a lady stealing a microwaves by holding it between her thighs under her dress. She was a large lady. I’m pretty sure I heard she only got caught because she had done it like twice before and she kept returning them for money.

    Solar panels are next. Then I dk food like good old days.

    This kind of stuff is annoying. Acting like they are stealing big screen tvs or advance pcs. People literally die from heat and GOP removes laws to reduce it. Go do better things. Like start a federal fund to subsidize AC units or mandating solar panels on AC units. yes, I know not realistic but operation light speed it jerks.
