To the Michiganites....Don't drink and boat. Swim instead.

Their blood alcohol limit for boating is one of the few laws listed that make sense.

I just don't understand making this statement, 'Washington State will continue having the highest minimum wage of any state . . .' and then this one 'San Francisco will boost its minimum wage, already the highest of any state or city . . .'

"state or city" see?

I thought the same thing, they should have left off the "state" portion at the end. I got the drift of what they meant, but that isn't what they said. Those pesky details.

No, it doesn't. In the first sentence it states:"Washington State will continue having the highest minimum wage of any state, increasing to $9.47 from $9.32."
Washington State has the highest minimum wage of any state.

NOTE in 2 places it states "highest minimum wage of ANY STATE.

Second sentence states: ""San Francisco will boost its minimum wage, already the highest of any state or city, from $10.74 an hour to $11.05."
NOTE, It states already the highest of any STATE or city.

So again, NO it doesn't make perfect sense.

the use of the word "in" rather than "of" would straighten this out.

""San Francisco will boost its minimum wage, already the highest IN any state or city, from $10.74 an hour to $11.05."

Ok Einstein, obviously you aren't nearly as smart as you think you are, or you fail miserably at reading comprehension. I understand what they MEANT to say, however, that isn't what they DID say. Not sure how a sentence that says any STATE or city refers only to the city, but I guess in your little world we take words out of sentences to fit what we THINK they mean.

At least their giving their chickens some minimum space.

Correct, one word is state and one word is city. Now, when it says state OR city, that indicates both are being included, get it?? So if something is the highest of all states then that same something can’t also be highest among all states OR cities, that impossible. Picky point I know and I understood the article, but the facts were not stated correctly. I can write it correctly if you like if it helps to compare the right and wrong ways.

San Francisco has the highest rate of any city or state, but if you look at states Washington State has the highest. It makes perfect sense.

Yet both Juan and Maria Illegal can get a legal driver's license in California, as they already can here in Arizona. Go figure.

Now Illegals can legally drive. But will they get insurance?

Damn good question!!!!

Because a City is not a state? Seems pretty straight forward.

"Washington State will continue having the highest minimum wage of any state, increasing to $9.47 from $9.32."
Washington State has the highest minimum wage of any state.

"San Francisco will boost its minimum wage, already the highest of any state or city, from $10.74 an hour to $11.05."
But not as high as the city of San Francisco, which has the highest rate of any state or city.

Does Britain have a minimum wage law on the books?

Yes, currently £6.50 (~$10.12) for those over 21

Yes - £6.50 ($10.10) currently for age 21 and above. A bit less for youngsters; £5.13 ($7.90) for 18 to 20 and £3.79 ($5.90) for under 18.

Washington is a state. San Francisco is a city.

Well the minimum wage went up, that's something.

...something that inches us further into socialism.

I'm still waiting for the big one

Only in Illinois would they not want an employer to know that his employee is a former murderer. Nice

But it would still come out in the background check, you doob, BEFORE the the employee is actually hired.

So what's the point of not asking, time clock breath

We can't discriminate against them.
BTW, they are not "murderers", that is demeaning.
They are "alternative life termination point providers".

New York banned tiger selfies, and Massachusetts had a ban on locking gas pumps? Brilliant!

New York has a ban on locking gas pumps.

I haven't been to the northeastern nanny states for quite awhile now, but are people even allowed to pump their own gas?

Yes, we can pump our gas. Not like N.J.

So California will pass a LAW so people who do not follow the LAW can have a driver's license.......that make sense.

That law was passed in anticipation of voter ID laws.

Oh, so that Mexicans in the country illegally, attempting to vote illegally, can have legal identification when required at the polls to be in compliance with the laws they will be attempting to influence with their votes in the country whose laws they are otherwise flouting. Yup, makes sense (in California). Hope they will be driving a 'green' car to the polls.

Pandering to people who aren't even allowed to be here and aren't even citizens makes zero sense.

What has our country come to? Enforce our laws and this won't be an issue.

Why are we obligated to please these ILLEGAL people?

Good grief! Americans like myself are struggling. I’m employed (temp work) but can’t afford health insurance. I don’t drive much either cause I can’t afford gas. My auto insurance, which the government has yet to ruin, is thankfully only $25/month (from Insurance Panda) and my homeowners is only $65/month from Accenture (thank god). Please, Obama! Don’t try to socialize those too! I also cut cable and internet and I haven’t been out to eat or to the movies in god knows how long.

It infuriates me that these people who don’t even belong here are getting more freebies than tax paying, law abiding citizens like myself!

Illegal aliens show up and all of sudden the government bends over backwards for them… while throwing good, law-abiding citizens to the wayside.

Funny. The same can be said about your and my ancestors. I don't remember them "asking" the Indians if they could move in and take over. What comes around comes around.

Look what uncontrolled immigration did to their culture!
I suspect we do not want it to happen to ours.

No. It's true. Remember Lebensraum from history class? That's what Europeans took when they brushed Native Americans aside in the New World. But to be fair, most of the death caused by Europeans in the New World was from disease.

Oh stfu about the "native Americans"! You want to go through the entire human history and hold everyone accountable for everything that has ever happened? Why stop at the Native Americans? To be so selective is not being fair, right? You need to learn about how Eric the Red and the Vikings were here LONG BEFORE the "native Americans". I'm so sick to death of this BS argument that it's time we just have a war, right? You people are so ignorant, it's not even funny anymore.

Conservative Rebel,

It's too bad that you can't handle the truth!

I was born and raised on Long Island, a 'native' New Yorker, which just happens to be one of the several states in the compact union, which makes ME a 'native' American. If you want to talk about "Injuns," that's another matter, but they all migrated here too. So, screw the 'native' American crap; it's just the case of a superior nation's conquest over the inferior nation(s) (who, incidentally, were busy full-time oppressing and slaughtering their 'native American' neighbors! with apparently no respect for 'indigenous peoples.').

We Native Americans have been on this piece of ground long before Eric the Red and Vikings. I am so sick of people who do not know much history open their mouths like they actually know anything. Native Americans came to what is North America over 12,000 years ago, Eric the Red was 1,000 years ago. Please get to know your facts about actual history, not revisionist history, it makes you sound ignorant.

It's California! What do you expect?

Dude... you're replying to a Panda Insurance bot...

You need to educate yourself. You sound like a buffoon.
