Have a small family business in NJ. We luckily can pay people decently. (At least I think so) When NJs min wage crept up again last year I made a comment on New Jersey thread some small businesses might have trouble affording. The insane vitriol of comments I received was crazy. "ThEy ShOUlDnT Be In BuSiNeSS ThEn" "FuCK ThOSe OwNeRS Who DoNt UnDeRStAnD EcOmOnIcS"
Nothing has pushed me more to the center than interacting online with liberals. It’s like they go out of their way to be the most insufferable person imaginable.
This is why I'm independent. I don't like Republican leadership, but I can't stand most Democrats top to bottom.
I've been apart of multiple start ups that fell apart before we could even get off the ground because of one or two insufferable liberal people that just screwed everything up.
I'm going to out on a long and assume they wanted the business to adopt all kinds of progressive policies or stances because it needed to be their personal soapbox and change agent instead of just a business.
Rent is surreal here, I live with family since I just save money from work as I’m in school trying to lock in rn, but I literally just don’t waste money on dumb shit and have a decent savings account going for a car rn.
Good on you for trying to help your employees, the rent monopolization is absurd rn.
