You're mixing up State & Federal. The federal minimum wage is 7.25 an hour while each state sets their own. Some cities set their own too. Because a one size fits all approach wouldn't take into account the different conditions and abnormalities in each state it wouldn't work. Besides there's a good chance the federal minimum wage is unconstitutional anyway. Here's a chart: https://www.minimum-wage.org/wage-by-state State Name Minimum Wage Rate Department Name Rate Adjusted Yearly Alabama $7.25 / hour Alabama Department of Labor Alaska $9.89 / hour Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development Arizona $11.00 / hour Industrial Commission of Arizona Arkansas $9.25 / hour Arkansas Department of Labor California $12.00 / hour California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement and the Office of the Labor Commissioner Colorado $11.10 / hour Colorado Department of Labor and Employment Connecticut $10.10 / hour Connecticut Department of Labor Delaware $8.75 / hour Delaware Department of Labor Florida $8.46 / hour Florida Division of Workforce Services Georgia $7.25 / hour Georgia Department of Labor Hawaii $10.10 / hour Hawaii Department of Labor & Industrial Relations Idaho $7.25 / hour Idaho Department of Labor Illinois $8.25 / hour Illinois Department of Labor Indiana $7.25 / hour Indiana Department of Labor Iowa $7.25 / hour Iowa Labor Services Division Kansas $7.25 / hour Kansas Department of Labor Kentucky $7.25 / hour Kentucky Labor Cabinet Louisiana $7.25 / hour Louisiana Workforce Commission Maine $11.00 / hour Maine Department of Labor Maryland $10.10 / hour Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation Massachusetts $12.00 / hour Massachusetts Executive Office of Labor & Workforce Development Michigan $9.45 / hour Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) Minnesota $9.86 / hour Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry Mississippi $7.25 / hour Mississippi Department of Employment Security Missouri $8.60 / hour Missouri Labor and Industrial Relations Commission Montana $8.50 / hour Montana Department of Labor and Industry Nebraska $9.00 / hour Nebraska Department of Labor Nevada $8.25 / hour Nevada Department of Business and Industry New Hampshire $7.25 / hour New Hampshire Department of Labor New Jersey $10.00 / hour New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development New Mexico $7.50 / hour New Mexico Department of Work Force Solutions New York $11.10 / hour New York Department of Labor North Carolina $7.25 / hour North Carolina Department of Labor North Dakota $7.25 / hour North Dakota Department of Labor Ohio $8.55 / hour Ohio Department of Commerce Oklahoma $7.25 / hour Oklahoma Department of Labor Oregon $11.25 / hour Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries Pennsylvania $7.25 / hour Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry Rhode Island $10.50 / hour Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training South Carolina $7.25 / hour South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing & Regulations South Dakota $9.10 / hour South Dakota Department of Labor and Regulation Tennessee $7.25 / hour Tennessee Department of Labor & Workforce Development Texas $7.25 / hour Texas Workforce Commission Utah $7.25 / hour Utah Labor Commission Vermont $10.78 / hour Vermont Department of Labor Virginia $7.25 / hour Virginia Department of Labor and Industry Washington $12.00 / hour Washington Department of Labor and Industries West Virginia $8.75 / hour West Virginia Division of Labor Wisconsin $7.25 / hour Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development Wyoming $7.25 / hour Wyoming Department of Workforce Service Puerto Rico $6.55 / hour Puerto Rico Department of Labor and Human Resources District of Columbia $14.00 / hour District of Columbia Department of Employment Services

How ***** sensitive can you be? Lighten up, I was just busting your "whatevers".

There may be a future there for you!

I know of a "squad" he could send in to reconnoiter the situation first.

Were you a long jumper in your previous life?

More like pointedly mean.

Your assumptions are that solutions are needed.

Find the oxymoron in your statement above. Anybody can play.

You mean those sidewalk condos?

That's the kind of thinking we need to piss all over, or we could send her to an Islamic country who would stone her to death for her infidelity.

You and I and a host of others don't need to see those pics again. They're seared into my brain so it really doesn't matter either way to me. There are people who weren't old enough or not born yet that need to have a fuller understanding of what went on that day and why we need to "never forget".

Watched coverage this morning from MSNBC, CNN & Fox. Fox stuck to basically straight memorial coverage while both CNN & MSNBC found something political to say even when showing film of the memorials. They both criticized the John Bolton firing/resignation but only because of the turnover in that position. They lamented that we lost that lovin feeling that we had after 9/11 and intimated that it was because of the present president. All in all, nothing different than what I expected.

How did that turn out for you?

Hey, it's a new day for the democrats and they'll turn North Carolina blue. Maybe next time.

At least he knows enough to always stand behind the podium.

Unlike HAHA Gator, the Eye of Horus has evolved.

Instead of a dance off they have a sashay off to see who is best qualified. In the event of a tie the two contestants stand toe to toe and bitchslap each other until one cries "Aunt".

Yes, but there's no present way to get around the water problem. Even the San Joaquin Valley which is mainly in the north, has water issues. The state, in all its wisdom had a real dilemma with saving the Delta Smelt or giving water to the drought plagued breadbasket of our country in the recent drought.

Weak responses, Sissy Boys.

Maybe so, but Southern California is nothing but an irrigated desert. Drought there is the norm, thus the need to bring down water from the mountains and divert it from elsewhere. The limited water supply is a major reason for the limited usable land and its high price.

I sorta lost confidence in this article when they claimed that they had a photograph of a mammoth. I got some dinosaur pics I'll sell you but way back then those pics were taken with a Polaroid and the quality isn't the best.

***** those Sissy Boys...………………… er, let me come up with another response.

I bet he's still laughing.

Hey guys, can I help?

Hey Gals?
