the oregon-idaho border and minimum wage

UncleBuck · May 16, 2014

if higher minimum wage is so hostile, onerous, and burdensome to these godlike job creators on whom we all depend for sustenance, then why is all the commerce and retail located on the oregon side (ontario) rather than the idaho side?

the min wage is 20% higher over here than in idaho, yet there is nothing on the idaho side of the border. there is a walmart, a home depot, many other big box stores, and a whole bunch of national chains here in ontario.

what gives, my right wing, freedom loving, job creating, captains of industry? how do you explain this fallacy of free market economics?

Is there still a way to "stealth one-star" threads ?

sadly, there is not.

nor is there a method of five starring threads that undercut the conservative dogma.

bluntness is the name of the game now, you must make yourself known to one star these things. and it will be held against you in a RIU court of law.

{some retarded video illustrating the depths of my analysis on the issue}

do you suppose it might be the homogays lobbying for special rights?

maybe it's just a case of the radical homosexual agenda playing crony capitalism with NObama the muslim kenyan tyrant?

why do they come to this side of the river when the minimum wage, ballbreaker of deified job Creators that it is, is so much lower over in idaho?

Oregon's lack of sales tax may assist with that issue some. I know that Washington state honors Oregon residents state ID cards and 'eats' tax cost at retail shops. Is this the same in Idaho?

If so, never mind.

Also, Oregon has lots of weed...

So I'd pick there over (LOL) Idaho.

The lower weed prices are causing a mass exodus of Idaho gerbils to Oregon.

Uncle Buck should get ahead of the curve and open a gerbil lounge with free wi-fi. If it is his private business on his property he would be exercising a property right if he wanted to exclude gerbil wannabes, chipmunks and hamsters. Everybody likes free wi-fi and a clean bathroom. The lounge will have a clean bathroom, right Meathead?

Cause apparently, Ontario is a happening place to be. I only had to look at the first pic google offered to know why. I think this was taken earlier last week.

Bet that same road would get you to buckys house.

I merely laugh because if someone said "name a US state", who the fuck would say Idaho?

For big box places, look into the taxes.

Oregon might be waiving a lot of tax breaks.

Also, location location location. ..

I've not been there, but if the people are in Oregon, then they will build where the people are.
