Letter to the editor Published 3:00 p.m. ET May 1, 2018 Raising minimum wage good policy Mr. Scott Milne’s commentary “$15 per hour minimum wage is bad policy” (April 24) conveniently overlooks many salient facts about raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour over a period of years. It would necessitate another commentary to delineate all of these. Mr. Milne cites a litany of total disasters that he predicts would result from this raise to $15 an hour minimum – from higher costs, rising budgets, the use of artificial intelligence and labor and so on – but forgets that all this is happening now, even … [Read more...] about Opinion: Raising minimum wage good policy

‘We Can Have Differences Of Opinion And Still Respect Each Other,’ Says Betrayer Of The One True Cause
BRYN MAWR, PA—In a blasphemous act of disloyalty against the rightful movement, local man Joseph Fischer stated Tuesday that “We can have differences of opinion and still respect each other,” exposing himself as a cowardly betrayer of the one true cause. “Even though we disagree on this issue, I’m glad we can have discussions like this to further our own understanding and grow as people,” said Fischer, expressing his complicity in the agenda of the enemy faction and taking his place in history alongside Benedict Arnold and Judas Iscariot as an irredeemable traitor. “We both want to make things better.

When Rev. Patrick J. Conroy was preparing to take over as House Chaplain in 2011 after being appointed by Speaker John Boehner, the Jesuit priest told The New York Times that he readied himself, in part, by reading “American Lion,” Jon Meacham’s biography of President Andrew Jackson. Conroy told the Times that reading about the vicious rivalry between Jackson and Henry Clay in Congress showed him that “it’s not an unprecedented thing in American politics for there to be recriminations and a lack of civility.” That much has always been true. But what is unprecedented, seven years after Conroy accepted the job, is that the House chaplain himself is now at the center of the recriminations and lack of civility in Congress that he once sought to counsel members beyond. For the first time in history, the House chaplain has been asked to resign and nobody seems to know why. “I was asked to resign, that is clear,” Conroy said in a recent … [Read more...] about Opinion: A New Religious Schism — What’s the Chaplain’s Job?
