Minimum Wage Increase vs Skilled Workers
One of the big talking point in the new 1.9 Trillion COVID relief bill is an increase of the minimum wage to $15 an hour for jobs that require minimal skills, but how does this affect skilled jobs? One of the things that is discussed is how 1.4 million jobs will be lost, which is unacceptable. How this will hurt small businesses and look at hiring less people in favor for automation to cut cost. What about devaluing skilled jobs like nurses, teachers, other healthcare professions, skilled labors like HVAC, mechanics and many more? Why is the media ignoring this part, where people go to either trade schools or community college to get degrees in these fields that starts at $15 an hour or lower? How will the increase of the minimum wage affect businesses like construction, doctors offices, law offices, auto repair shops, airlines, media companies, grocery stores, and so on that rely on skilled workers?

Silver State Protest Mandates
The state of Nevada has been hit hard with Governor's Sisolak "Declaration of Emergency Directives", that seems to pick and choice on what would be acceptable and what wouldn't. Sisolak has been blaming the recent Trump Rallies, or as been said Trump "Protests", for wanting to take back 8.9 million CARE Relief from Douglas County, then decided not to "punish" the people in Douglas County for holding a Presidential rally at the Minden Airport. It's been reported that Sisolak blames Trump for holding the rally, but missed the fact that the citizens of Nevada were the ones that wanted the visit from the President. The rally was cancelled in Reno, which is part of Washoe County, by the Reno Airport Authority due to the Governor's Directive 021 to limit any gathering public to 50 people or less. For some reason the directive don't stop organizations like Black Lives Matter from protesting with more than 50 people many not wearing masks. In all fairness Black Lives Matter is not the only organization that holds protests in Nevada with more than 50 people, but for some reason the directive limits is enforced when the United State President comes and visits. Would this have happened with a Democratic President? How about if Joe Biden wanted to hold a rally in Nevada? Would he be subject to the same limitation? That Biden's rallies can only have 50 people or less?

Unemployment
So one of the things that is becoming a political hot button topic is the unemployment benefits. Where people have filed for unemployment benefits and were getting the extra $600 per week from the federal government. Now that is going to be gone, it seems there is a panic in the air on what next will happen. Well from someone that has on unemployment before I can probably give you first hand experience. The only difference was, when I was on unemployment there wasn't any global pandemic going on. Does that mean you can't survive without that extra $600? Actually you can. It may be hard work and having to make certain adjustments but it is possible. The problem is we have politicians that has never been on unemployment to know what it's really like. They want to use the unemployment as another form of welfare where right now the requirement is just be afraid to go back to work. They use that extra $600 dollars a week to so call gamble with the American peoples lives. So let's clear up some things about unemployment that is not being told to the general public.
