‘I worked so damn hard’: Biden laments changes in U.S. since he left office
According to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), without ever mentioning President Donald Trump by name, Biden spoke for more than an hour to thousands of human resources experts invited by the HR trade group SHRM to a gathering in San Diego about the risks of the U.S.’ move toward isolationism and the dangers of abandoning his administration’s efforts to strengthen the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) alliance.
“We strengthened NATO in a significant way,” he told the audience on Wednesday, adding that now, he is “getting calls … from a number of European leaders asking me to get engaged.”
“I’m not, but I’m giving advice,” he continued.

Fuck you, Joe. No one gives a shit how hard you worked. Your one fucking job was to protect us from more Trump and you failed at that because your giant fucking ego and your cunt wife insisted you run again when literally no one wanted you to. So fuck you. Fuck you with something hard and sandpapery.

So R31 in which states s $5.00 the minimum wage? In CA it's $16, NJ $15.13, NY $15, New Mexico $11, Florida $13, DC $17 . . .
you seem to have a limited purview
Also are you aware that many of those jobs you listed are not done by immigrants in many places throughout the US if not most.

The problem with Hunter and Kelly is that they don't make it personal. They should be asking the question, "Who will clean my toilets?" instead of "Who will clean your toilets?" The former shows they have a stake in it.

R44 Like two weeks after he was talking that hoopla about still being fit to serve he walked on a national stage and stated “we are going to get Zelensky[President of Ukraine]”. It took him about 30 secs to realize his mistake and say “No we’re gna get Putin”. Then about a month later once Kamala was the official nominee, he allowed himself to be publicly photographed in a MAGA hat. Thats beyond gaffe, you can’t control that. He can’t control himself.
We all will die. The average human age is 78. I imagine at that age, having the utmost integrity and maturity, means knowing when to bow out. Now he has cancer and may not even see November of 28. They weren’t wrong. You are wrong and ignorant if you think they were wrong.

If people read up on the Late Bronze Age Collapse (12th century BC) and how it brought down like dominoes several great interconnected civilizations along the Mediterranean (e.g. Mycenaean, Hittite, Minoan) leading to 400 years of a Dark Age in the region, they'll understand why globalism is bad and isolationism is best.

"Under the table" workers aren't only illegals. Yes they make less hourly or are paid "for the job" but pay no income taxes. They pay sales tax. That's it.
One of my sisters was briefly married to a guy like this. He left her when I found out he was sexually harassing her 12 year old daughter, bastard was pinching her burgeoning breasts.
I don't consider myself a violent person, never a fighter, I'm a big guy but it was a pleasure to beat the crap out of him. I was arrested and all charges dropped.

Biden 'working my tail off'
Biden Sells Memoir for Roughly $10 Million, Less Than Obama and Clinton
Former President Joe Biden has sold his presidential memoir to the Hachette Book Group for an advance in the range of $10 million, according to people familiar with the matter.
The memoir’s publisher, Hachette’s Little, Brown & Co., hasn’t yet set a publication date
Biden, who is 82, said at an event earlier this month that he was “working my tail off” to write a memoir, and indicated that he would focus on the four years he served as president.
