"IOW, there is a fair amount of transparency out there already."

Ihere probably is but I don't know of a simple charts listing all employers in an employment market defined geographically, including notations for employers who refuse to cooperate. Wages should be available for comparison just like prices for goods or services; secrecy only benefits employers. Could include a column for benefits like insurance with + signs to indicate levels of benefits offered. Put it online so job seekers could know in advance what the prospective employer is paying compared to what other enployers are paying. Seems to me that a clever entrepreneur could assemble the site and use social media advertising to get current emokoyees thinking and potential new employees to want to consider switching jobs. Employers are very complacent and it would be good to create dissent among employees by offering valuable information to them in a format that would make it quick and easy to know the market for their skills.

Germany is making Trump look like Putin's bitch! Glad to see a leader with the cajones to stand alongside Zelensky! I don't think Donald will be invited to the victory celebration.

If you work 40 hours per week but don't earn ebough to rent a basic 1 bedroom apartment then effectively you are unemployed and I think that when I shop either in-store or online I would like to know if the businesses I deal with operate on underpaid labor and there should be a wat for ne to know; perhaps a website that researches local wages and offers information to consumers? If employers won't reveal the information it could be gathered from present or former employees providing it. Why should an employer be afraid of the public being informed about the condititions that the emloyees we deal with are working under? Average workers are too busy surviving to read long pages about economics but if they could look at a chart that shows basic information about compensation of employees from top to bottom listed simply, I think they would be interested enough to examine their own compensation and compare it with other jobs. There are reasons most employers do not want employees to have compensation among themselves but it should be considered a violation of the 1st Anendment to forbid them from talking about it with their fellow employees and the right to do so should be made a federal law so that, even in "right to work" states employers would have to compete with each other to hire and retain enployees; free market principle which should not be denied to employees.

Both Putin and therefore Trump too are using the strategy of not winning the war but just making life for Ukrainians so hard that they stop resisting the Russian invaders but Putin isn't considering that their resistance will just go underground and figure new ways to kill Russians until the comatose Russian people awaken and hang Putin. then and only then there will be peace.

No Dov, there were noi "suckers and losers" in the trumpf clan.

BTW, "suckers" is a ter con men used to describe their victims, indicating to me, that it isn't hyperbole to call him a conman from a long line of conmen. And yes, conmen do consider those who work for a living to be suckers and losers, especially those who die in wars like the Iraq war.

If he would cancel hurricanes, earthquakes and forest fires then this would make perfect sense but since he can't it's just playing with numbers like the con man he is to make his tax cuts for the rich lool less like bankrupting our government.

"List of Minimum Wage Rates by State 2025"

In Congress for my entire adult life always fighting for the people today AOC brings the fire to light beneath the feet of the filthy liars still claiming the the Big Obscene Bill won't be throwing 14 million pwople off Medcaid! They are such liars!

Donate $1,000,000 of your stolen loot and the Felon in Chief will sell you a couple of pardons!

"Apparently many Americans don't recognize insanity when they see it; or can manage not to be offended when it takes a ---- in their living rooms."

I think that sfter seeing who Trump is after this long and they are still quietly accepting him and the Republican Part's obsessive greed it now shows us what most Americans actually are and they just really don't care. They elected a racist Nazi and you think they didn't know or, at least suspect him to be exactly that?

His trade policiites are dictated by Vlaomir. We all kmow it but we still tollerate him? Why?

"No further GOP action would be necessary to effect the installation or otherwise. It's a done deal. Take it up with facilities or maintenance."

Perehaps the piece of filth who made thar post can't remember the video of that officer with his head stuck in a doorway as those MAGAscum repeatedly slammed the door on his neck basically trying to kill him? BTW,scum who I was addressing, the MAGAmob was hunting the Republican Vice President at the time with the spoken intent to murder him!
I will say it again, not just Republican politicians are evil; ALL REPUBLICANS ARE SUNHUMAN ACUM WHO HAVE DESTROYED America and I honestly do hate every single one of them for it!

"Defund The Police!"

Fine with me in most cities, since "Black Lives Matter" they don't do their jobs anyway.
Overheard their conversation when one of them said we "won't let them enforce the law" anymore!
Which translates into "we won't let them beat people to death anymore. So now they won't enforce traffic laws or do anything about burglars. The police are basically on strike. We should stop paying them! They might change their attitudes if they actually did remember they work for us and we can stop paying them if they won't do their jobs.

Seems to me that the court can act to be its own advocate to throwing the "Big Neautiful Billl" in the trash where it belongs andovernment and I would hope that the Congress would act with a resolution to support the Supteme Court declare that any bill that eliminates the power any one of the three branches of power in our government. I do tru;y suspect that the trillions of dollars of tax cuts they won't because Republicans are ALL COWARDS and I mean every Republican not just the politicians. We are in a Constitutional crisis worse than any such crisis in my lifetime!. It is the duty of every American to stand up now against this wannabe dictator! I truly believe that the trillions of dollars in tax cuts are really just bribes for rich Republicans to gain support for this bill which undermines Judicial Review which is the basic principle which limits Presidemtial Power since 1803 in Maebury v Madison. Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" seeks to end established law and I predict will be rejected with a unanimous vote in the Supreme Court which will, in effect, make John Roberts victorious in his war with the Devil! Really whodathunkit? John Roberts, who overruled democracy in 2000 would save it 25 years later?

I don't blame Donald Trump, he is just the latest version of evil bastard elected by haters a/k/a Republicans! I despise them all, even those I'm related to. This tax bill is so evil that it is indefensible even by the most rabid of their ilk.

He is hoping we can't remember the things he says. I may not remember every single awful thing that despicable man has said but I remember plenty to hate him and will be happy when he croaks.

"That has already been debunked. That photo is from a protest, not actual graves."

So thereal important lesson we get from this interaction is that Trump is a racist doesn't understand why the rest of us aren't too!?!

As we desert our allies the danger to the United States increases; How long until Republicrazies admit that their President is a traitor?

Abolish the EPA! Business makes jobs so breathing is now a luxury they can't afford in Tennesssee!
Breathing is over rated and unnecessary if it stands in the way of Elon Musk's profits!

Donald is willing but he needs permission from his Daddy Vlad? Are we still the USA? Doesn't seem like it any more. We persecute poor immigrants who want to work in the fields and ignore allies? That's not the America I remember!

Just more insanity from RFK Jr and the Wannabe Dictator who appointed him so let's cut costs in vaccinations for a disease that kills because of costs? While passing trillions of dollars worth in tax cuts for billionaires??? Visitor??? STFU!!!!
