A better question would be will the economic impact of raising servers wages in terms of beneficial personal spending, reduced government transfer payments, increased tax revenue, etc. be better than the increased restaurant menu prices, the corresponding decreased demand for restaurants, the decreased/eliminated restaurant profitability, the decreased tax revenue, the costs to landlords of vacant locations, etc.
Sure, it would be great to raise wages. Minimum wages interfere with market forces. If you artificially set wages, you will keep capital out of markets because they won't get a sufficient return. Similarly, if wages were allowed to fall, all things being equal as no other market regulation, prices would have to fall because demand would fall as consumers wouldn't have enough to buy. It isn't always pretty on a day to day level but eventually the market corrects. Pervasive regulation prevents these mild and gradual market corrections. Every now and again, the market forces overwhelm government's efforts to regulate - see housing bubble, etc.

Streets need to be lined with people standing with their hats off in respect.

Reply to Missed Jury Duty by SopheliaofSofritown
While it is a crime to ignore a jury summons, I don't think CT has prosecuted anyone for this crime in years and years. I'd call the jury office, explain that you just gave birth and it shouldn't be a problem.

This happened weeks ago, no? I saw it sitting in Sign Pro's lot/garage some time ago. Is this the new version being brought to the stadium?

Yes, and then get rid of tipping.

Hole in The Wall in New Britain takes a lot of chances by doing original work and under the radar productions. March 31st they will be having a 24 hour play event. 1 act Plays are written and produced in a 24 hour period.

Inflation is out of control, now is the time to tighten our belts, not throw money at every problem.

Been in Enfield many years and mad hatter is known as honest and reputable shop. I’ve dealt with them several times. Because of honesty prices wil be fair but nothing is cheap these days you get what you pay for. For oil changes Firestone is fine but be careful of the up sell to more work

I think SignPro in southington made it, it assume it's going back to them, maybe for rework?

Been doing the same for years, using 99% garlic for one pass and then Wondercide for the following week (and myself/dogs as well!). My street stinks of garlic the next day or so.
I do that once every other month and really do not see ticks or many annoying bugs (gnats still are rampant and we get a lot of bees which are quite welcome).

Came on here to say I use the same stuff and just sprayed my yard two days ago and my mother-in-law's yesterday. Before that, I had a tick on me two weeks ago and just pulled a tick off my dog this past weekend. Wish I sprayed sooner!!!

The more info that comes out, the more questions I have. This is so incredibly sad. I can even begin to imagine what the surviving 9 year old saw in that car and the trauma he's going through.

Not to worry, they will send you a letter saying you missed jury duty and the importance of keeping Civil obligations. They will include in that letter a form to send back about jury duty with a future date.

That's actually the new cup pictured there. Notice it only says "Dunkin". It's coming not going.

The promo video on their website shows a DD cup, so you’re probably right.

Reply to News 12 Poll: Should Connecticut raise servers' wages? by jaydecay123
Where's the free market of supply and demand? Every time I go to a restaurant now the service is so slow because they can't find employees. Then raise the wage. If you raise it enough I'll quit my job and go work at the restaurant.
