Flugennock's: Latest'n'Greatest: "#DemocratsDeliver"
#DemocratsDeliver
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3845
Been out of town for a while, been sick for a while, finally getting
my tired old ass to the drawing table again.
So, I'd been noticing this #DemocratsDeliver hashtag crawling like a
rash all over Facebook as the "election" freak circus cranks up, and
thought I'd have some fun with it — like, yeah; I know what the
Democrats "deliver", alright.

That darn Michael Ramirez
Readers critique The Post: Here's the beef with this minimum-wage cartoon
Washington Post April 19, 2024
How is it that, say, $20 billion to one who already possesses billions of dollars is beneficial to "the economy" but $20 per hour to an actual worker who is likely to spend that money is wrecking it? That's preposterous.
Prices clearly are not exclusively a function of the wages being paid to or denied to workers. The issue is more nuanced, which is not the case with this portrayal.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization Bear Spray depicted in Michael Ramirez's wonderful April 6 editorial cartoon, "NATO's 75th anniversary," has been a solid sales success, particularly in Poland and the Baltic nations. I suggest the introduction of a companion product for our allies facing encroachment from the People's Republic of China: Dragon Repellant.
