This is the same old time-worn argument that the employer class shoves at legislators whenever and wherever there is talk of raising the minimum wage. While it is impossible to predetermin what employers will do, typically the jobs remain because they are necessary jobs.
Alberta’s UCP fears it will trigger further youth unemployment if it raises Alberta’s minimum wage, said affordability minister Nathan Neudorf last week.

Older Albertans working at minimum wage might also see their jobs eliminated if the government gets it wrong.

Is there no Republican in Congress that will come out and say Trump is lying/untruthful in his comments on food prices? Or is he so far out of it he doesn't understand what is happening in America and his minions are afraid to tell him for fear of losing their heads?

The provision should be taken out of the bill. No question.
House Republicans push vote to reverse provision allowing senators to sue over phone records
House Republicans push vote to reverse provision allowing senators to sue over phone records
Several House GOP hard-liners are pushing to kill a provision contained in the shutdown-ending funding package that would allow senators to sue the government if their electronic records are obtained without their knowledge, according to two people granted anonymity to share private conversations. That legislative language was inserted in the Senate at the instruction of Senate Majority Leader John Thune, responding to the several Republican senators who are enraged their phone records were subpoenaed as part of Biden-era special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. But Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) and other House Republicans aren’t sympathetic to the rationale. While they aren’t demanding the language be stripped from the government funding bill — which would punt it back to the Senate and delay the reopening of the government — they are instead pressing for a future vote on a separate, standalone piece of legislation that would invalidate the provision. They are eying a vote on such a measure through an expedited floor procedure typically reserved for non-controversial bills that require the support of a two-thirds majority of those present and voting to secure passage. GOP leaders have yet to make any commitments they will allow the vote. Republican members of the House Rules Committee — including Reps. Morgan Griffith of Virginia and Austin Scott of Georgia, who serve on the panel with Roy — raised concerns with the issue during a hearing Tuesday night to tee up the government funding plan for floor consideration. House Appropriations Chair Tom Cole (R-Okla.) also expressed consternation, saying he was “surprised” to see the provision dropped into the Legislative Branch spending bill included in the larger shutdown-ending measure. Rep. Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, said there was “bipartisan outrage” over the provision, adding that it appeared to violate chamber rules against Senators enriching themselves. Asked about Senate Democratic leadership’s defense of the provision — Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer signed off the language — Raskin was dismissive. “They don’t want to protect Democratic governors, Democratic mayors, Republican governors, Republican mayors, members of the House -- It’s just for members of the Senate,” said the Maryland lawmaker in an interview Wednesday. Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), the ranking member on the House Appropriations Committee, also decried the provision. “Instead of working to lower costs and put more money in Americans’ pockets, Senate Republicans are racing to hand out tax breaks to billionaires — and pay themselves for their work with President Trump to overturn the 2020 election,” DeLauro said. “By inserting this poison pill payout into the Legislative Branch bill,” she added, “the Senate majority has set a dangerous precedent and created additional obstacles for conversations between the four corners moving forward on the remaining 2026 funding bills.”

Please note the spending package contains a lot of extras for Republicans lined up at the feeding trough. Example the right to sue US Govt for up to $500,000 because they were part of an investigation. These guys think they are better than the rest of us.

Supreme Court is afraid to make a decision for or against. Why?
Via Jacob Fischler: The shutdown could end before the stay expires. The U.S. Senate passed a bill Monday to reopen the government, and the House is expected to pass it Wednesday. President Donald Trump has said he supports the measure and will likely sign it before the end of the day Thursday.
