Minimum Wage In Ohio Goes Up 25-cent

Here is another great way to bring in the new year for alot of Ohio residences. The Ohio minimum wage was last changed in 2008, when it was raised to $7.00. Ohio’s minimum wage is scheduled to increase on Jan. 1, 2019, to $8.55 per hour for non-tipped employees and $4.30 per hour for tipped employees.

This wage only applies to companies with annual gross receipts over $314,000. According to data from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a single adult would need to make $10.15 an hour, or $21,112 a year, in Mahoning or Trumbull county to pay for bare necessities, assuming the person lives in a studio apartment, has a low-cost food plan and drives a used car or uses cheap public transportation. A family of two adults and two children with one of the parents working would need that person to make $22.57, or $46,945 a year.

“The living wage is the minimum income standard that, if met, draws a very fine line between the financial independence of the working poor and the need to seek out public assistance or suffer consistent and severe housing and food insecurity.”

“Most studies show that incremental increases in minimum wage do not have adverse impacts in terms of unemployment rates and do not cause inflation, which are the biggest concerns associated with increasing minimum wage.”

When the minimum wage increases throughout a geographic region rather than one city, it’s less likely to impact local businesses in a negative way, Sumell explained. For example, if only Youngstown increased minimum wage, businesses there might be inclined to move to a neighboring municipality to decrease costs.

Is Building Trumps Border Wall The Serious?

Is Donald Trump making the correct decisions on building this border wall? Is it really that serious that people will lose food stamps and others may go without a paycheck?

America is in disarray amidst the current government shutdown due to President Trump’s insistence on building a wall along the United States’ Southern border, but the people who will be impacted the most will be those who receive government assistance.

The proposed border wall has been described as a "death sentence" for the National Butterfly Center. A crew began clearing vegetation in preparation for construction of the wall at the National Butterfly Center in July 2018.

Almost 40 million Americans depend on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP, for food benefits, but the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture said last month that the program is funded through January, but it has only $3 billion in reserves to cover February, which is less than two-thirds of food stamps’ $4.8 billion cost in September.

What will happen at this point hasn’t been confirmed, but if the $3 billion reserve were distributed, that would mean about a $90 decrease for the 19.4 million households that receive an average of $245 a month in food stamps, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

For the residents of La Lomita, President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall is already here. But most Democrats left those sessions discouraged and convinced that the White House was more interested in arguing that there is a crisis that necessitates a border wall.

The SNAP program, which offers nutrition assistance to over 7 million low-income pregnant women, new mothers and young children is also in jeopardy. The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children or WIC, also has federal funding to last only through January.

If You Were Offset, Would You Date Cardi B?

Ok, so we all know Cardi B is a bad bitch and had a bad body. But really, is she really dating material? Is she the loyal? Can she be trusted?

Men cheat there is nothing you can do about that. All you need to do is just to pray for them to change. But does that mean right after the breakup, im twerking, or trying to make you jealous by being seen with another guy? This just sounds like something Cardi B would do.

Don't get me wrong, she may be a good girl. I just don't know if I can have a stripper as a girlfriend. Back in my day, the saying use to be "You Can Take The Girl Out The Hood, But You Can't Take The Hood Out The Girl."

Maybe it's just me, but looks is not the only thing i look for in a lady. I wouldn't even care how much money you have or if you can benefit me.

Cardi B just seems as if she lacks curtain aspects that will satisfy Offsets or any man's needs and desires. Sometimes the only thing you can do with certain women is hump on them a few times then dump them.

I don't think Cardi B is like Mariah Carey or anything, i'm just saying she is not that babydoll material. She ain't cut from that same fabric you want to take home to moms.

Before Offset Proposed to Cardi B with an 8 carat diamond ring shaped like a raindrop. Before the couple broke up for a total of 8 hours during the week prior to their engagement, bull, all this is just fake news for entertainment.

I can bet both Cardi B and Nicki Minaj is a handful when it comes to being in a relationship. It a be a starship for real with me flying out of here. Offset is in a position where he can have any lady he choose, should it be Cardi?

Could This Be The End Of R. Kelly Career?

Although he has made many hits and topped various charts, R. Kelly is still labeled a pedophile in most eyes. They will never get over the fact that it's true and he has not apologized for any of it.

Now that the Aaliya case has resurfaced, could the be the crushing moment in R. Kelly's career. Just like Bill Cosby, Tekashi 69, and Russel Simmons, this is damaging to loosing endorsers and more.

R. Kelly could see his career come to a halt just as quick as it started. He has a problem with stick him grown penis into our children on my personal note. The Wrap-Up Magazine loves the mans music, just not the ways he live by.

If his career loosing everything right at the end, this is karma in the making for him. Does he deserve jail time? Or just like many other, case are too old to close but the evidence is still there?

R. Kelly need help and it may be time for him to be held accountable for it. It's time to come out in public before this hits. I'm sure even white people would agree that this relationship was clear in ones eyes.
