The economy will grow, the people will feel more relaxed and living in the states that is legal versus the state that is not legal. And will also generate money for the state

Most commercial real estate in most cities is held by holding companies and very wealthy individuals that can more easily weather economic instability than their tenants, who are usually so busy creating jobs and providing goods and services they don't have time to accumulate cash reserves. BOMA represents building owners, and includes a PAC with lobbyists and is better organized than tenants, and more able to apply for and receive federal dollars. They have it in their strength to organize their members to suspend rent payments for April, 2020, and allow small businesses across America to survive. Without relief to small businesses, many will close, and the unique and resilient culture that they bring to their communities will die as well.

No one should be able to deal in the stock market with insider information. Not a senator, nor any of his/her friends. Ever. People must release information that can disrupt markets in a timely fashion to the whole public - not just a select few.

We show up to work and do our jobs during this time, even though it puts us and our families at great risk of getting sick.

We will lose all the small business because we can't afford the rent when there is no business running! We dont know when we can reopen. More people will lose the jobs when all the small business are closed!

It is our responsibility to come together to protect the lives of those around us by limiting the spread of this disease as much as possible and caring for the tens of millions whose health, jobs, families and communities will be impacted. Utility companies must not cut off essential resources including water, power, and gas to ensure everyone has the ability to take care of themselves and their families. There are thousands of people already hit with the financial burden of missing work for a quarantine, to care for a loved one or children when school is cancelled, being laid off, and many more as this crisis grows. COVID-19 has revealed the interconnectedness of our country and our world -- that the health and well being of one is intimately bound to the health and well being of all. Now, we must rise to the occasion and care for each other and support one another.

Bernie is looking more and more like he will be the Democratic nominee, and while many are just disgusted and paying no attention to the hate spewing from Chris Matthews at this point, having a network so biased against one candidate that it continues to employ such an unprofessional "journalist" is just wrong.

Higher education creates better paying jobs. Better paying jobs creates a better tax base. How much income tax is generated by a minimum wage paying job, compared to the income tax of an undergraduate degree pay scale? Do I need to go to the sales taxes paid by the two different incomes? Didn't think so. What started as "Trickle up" economics has turned into "Flooding up" economics. History has shown how income inequality turns out. It hasn't been pretty. We are heading, "full steam ahead" in that direction. 1929, 2008 are the years I am pointing to. The quick recovery of 2008 won't happen again. The Federal Government can't afford to bail out numerous industries again. I feel that the current state of affairs in our society are a reflection this imbalance. The political polarization. The mass shootings. The current horrific crimes being committed are a direct reflection of the terrible conditions we are experiencing. Horrific conditions are creating horrific reactions. People are struggling to eat, can't get health care because: 1) wages haven't kept up with the real cost of living. 2) We are out of options to make up the difference. When wages first began to shrink, (1978) "incomes" went from individual to "household". Mom and dad worked. Then they worked more hours. When that didn't maintain a comfortable lifestyle, (1990’s), borrowing filled the gap. We witnessed how that turned out, the 2008 recession. The middle class needs to be able to pay for things, not borrow to get them. Jobs are created when people buy things, (after all, someone has to make the things, deliver and sell them), that is how economics works. Henry Ford figured this out over 100 years ago! I am looking to my leaders to take some action. Be brave and do the right things for the right reasons. If the status quo is not changed, we are all going to be left behind. The people at the top, (the very rich), will continue to get further out of reach and more powerful. I don't think my fellow middle-class citizens are capable of continuing down the current path. The mass shootings for example, started in schools, (easy targets), then to theaters and malls, (bigger easy targets). These shootings haven’t changed what caused them. The next group will probably be politicians. Lack of gun laws is not the problem, more gun laws is not the answer. Lack of financial security is the problem, and all that goes with it. Please stop doing what we are doing, so we stop getting what we are getting. Let’s put a stop to the current state of affairs. Everything I have written here, is a glimpse of what I have observed. Unfortunately, I don’t have many solutions to offer, sorry. Political discussions with my contemporaries don’t happen. Everyone’s feelings get hurt, they stomp off, end of discussion. They are emulating what our leaders are doing. The dialogue needs to be started, so options are thought of and the best options given a chance to work. Please, let’s begin talking.

It is important because animals are amazing. And at the end of the day they are beings, too. They have feelings and emotions, so for people to abuse animals you can tell they don't know the true value of animals' lives.

This doctrine, introduced originally in 1949, required holders of broadcast licenses to give airtime to discussing controversial matters of public interest and to give airtime to contrasting view points. According to the FCC, this kept broadcasters honest, equitable, and balanced.

Seasonal workers are spread out throughout Pierce County, so it is hard to organize. It is the hope that this petition will help seasonal workers share their stories and also spread the word about our local HR department's deceptive (or in the least- very disorganized) hiring practices of seasonal workers to each other and our community. This time of year, companies like UPS, Fed Ex, and Amazon ramp up hiring due to the increased volume of deliveries. UPS is a large company here in South Sound, and our community should know how they are currently treating many seasonal employees. Seasonal employees are essential to getting work done during the holiday season. They deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. Many were deceived or had their pay rate misrepresented when they were hired. As far as the petition writer knows, there has been no written communication from UPS HR to confirm that employees who are being underpaid will receive back pay and have their wage changed to the rate at which they were hired. Seasonal employees deserve to be compensated for the hourly wage they were offered (and that was publicly advertised), and there should be consistent ($18/hour) wage for all Driver Helpers. Middle management and union reps have been working hard (at least from the petitioner writer's experience) to support seasonal workers and advocate for the pay they were offered when hired. The high turn over of seasonal workers impacts management and all the full-time drivers at our regional UPS.

I want to remove the Zuckerberg name from San Francisco General Hospital. I don't believe Zuckerberg should be part of our city until he refutes racism, fascism, antisemitism, and LGBTQ discrimination by renouncing the Trump-Pence regime and not making backroom deals with white-supremacist Republican Politicians.
