In this episode The Bald Brad Show, President Joe Biden traveled to the U.S. Virgin Islands this week for a vacation with his family as millions suffered from one of the worst winter storms to hit the country in years.

One of the worst hit areas was in Erie County, New York, where 34 people have died amid heavy snowfall and dangerously cold temperatures. Hundreds of National Guard soldiers were deployed to deliver food to residents and check on their well-being. In all, at least 86 people were rescued “from hazardous situations,” the National Guard said in a statement.

CNN noted that the storm killed an additional 25 people in 11 other states and left millions without power.

Meanwhile, Biden traveled to St. Croix for a vacation, reportedly staying for free at a luxury villa owned by billionaire Democrat donors Bill and Connie Neville.

The media coverage that Biden received for taking a vacation as millions of Americans suffered from a natural disaster was very different than the coverage that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) received when he went on vacation last February as people in Texas faced power outages from a winter storm.

Furthermore, McDonald’s revealed a test restaurant near Fort Worth, Texas, earlier this month in which automation technology replaces many positions formerly held by employees, drawing mixed reactions from conservatives and liberals.

The fast food behemoth announced that customers can use kiosks and a mobile app to grab their orders from a conveyor belt rather than interacting with customer-facing staff. The concept is designed to give the restaurant team “the ability to concentrate more on order speed and accuracy, which makes the experience more enjoyable for everyone,” Keith Vanecek, the franchisee operating the restaurant, said in a press release.

Conservative-leaning commentators noted that the restaurant concept comes after activist campaigns and left-wing politicians spent years calling for minimum wage hikes. The new test restaurant also hits the marketplace as historic labor shortages present difficulties to companies attempting to fill their payrolls, worsening inflationary pressures and supply chain bottlenecks.

“The real minimum wage is zero and you are always replaceable,” BASEDPolitics President Hannah Cox said on social media, alluding to a phrase favored by conservative economist Thomas Sowell. “If you want more money find a way to add more value. Anyone telling you differently has no idea how to eradicate poverty.”

Liberal-leaning commentators rebutted such arguments. Fight for 15, an activist group demanding a minimum wage of $15 per hour, said that the restaurant shows workers “need to demand” higher pay. “Maybe it’s time for broad worker solidarity so we can fight back.”
