I respectively disagree with your statement “Whether Lincoln’s specific ordinance represents good or bad policy is secondary.” Generally, I understand your comparisons, but economics impacts everyone. In this instance, youth are treated as adults when they are not. With a flat singular minimum wage, youth are actively discriminated for lacking work skills.

I focused on the hypocrisy of our AG. I think a minimum wage is idiotic in any political jurisdiction.

Please elaborate on your view?

Hilgers is not being hypocritical. The gun issue was already being contested by Nebraska Firearm Owners Association (https://libertyjusticecenter.org/cases/nfoa-v-omaha/) and others. Some of this litigation is still ongoing. Hilgers added his thoughts on this matter as cited in link above.

That said, you missed the whole point.

He totally stood down during baird's reign of covid terror.
