 Studies show that increasing the minimum wage actually increases jobs as lower-wage workers spend their increased income on goods and services, thus stimulating the economy. Yeah, exactly. Raising the minimum wage to $10.50 would benefit 30 million hardworking Americans. It is time for those in Congress to increase their productivity, urge your representative to support HR 1346 to raise the minimum wage to $10.50. At an annual salary of $174,000, it's the least those problems can do. Yeah, and that's not counting the weeper of the house's salary and a bitch McConnell turtle-faced. Don't they make more than that? Not counting their perks and not counting the fact that they only work like a few days a month. No, they don't work. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. They repeal a few days a month. Repeal the cans. Yeah, yeah. So one more for the road? One more for the road. Conditions are ripe. Conditions are ripe. For the Atlantic region to have up to nine hurricanes. And this is the beginning of the hurricane season. And as many as five major mortars. So we're having a very active storm season this year. So the hurry canes might be more in a hurry this year, this season. With winds of at least 111 miles per hour. So we might get higher category than Sandy. Might be a category two. Hey, Sandy was only a tropical storm. It wasn't a category one or no. And look at all the damage it did. Correct. And it wasn't, well, it was supposed to go out to sea, normally. But it made an illegal left turn. It made an illegal left turn, like a ball in a pinball machine. It just lingered and ricocheted and boom, boom, boom, boom. It just lingered in the corner between, you know, where New York City, Long Island and the Jersey Shore was. It just went in that corner and did its damage. And it wasn't even a full category one. And we're supposed to get worse storms because of climate change during the rest of this fall and summer. The outlook gives a 70% chance for the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico to experience above normal activity during this year's, excuse me, six month hurricane season. Really? Which runs from June through November. Really? November? It can go as far as November. Well, remember Sandy was October, no? And that would be a November to remember. Sandy was October. Sandy was in October. Of those six to nine are projected to be hurricanes. The 30-year seasonal average by comparison includes 12 named storms with six hurricanes and three of them a major. Among the reasons for such an active outlook, see surface temperatures for the Atlantic Ocean are warmer than usual. And West Africa is experiencing a stronger rainy season. In addition, two of the four named tropical storms that already occurred this year formed near Africa, which historically indicates an active season. Finally, forecasters don't expect El Nino to develop this season. El Nino is an unusually warm flow of Pacific water that generates strong easterly winds. El Nino, La Niña is when it's cooler, 10 degrees cooler, I believe, in the Pacific. The Federal report is a reminder that the heart of hurricane season mid-August through October is upon us. Even as sections of Lujoyzi shore and the middle land still struggle to recover from the damage caused by Superstorm Sandy, I thought we were stronger than the storm. That's Chris Christie that thinks he's stronger than the storm. If they use Chris Christie as a seawall, you know, he might be strong there, but, you know, a seawall. Chris Christie. Hey! One of my Jingle Bells' fellow. The point is that nobody's stronger than Mother Nature, you know, and he doesn't live on the coast, so Christie doesn't get hammered. What was that commercial? You mean with the song? No. You can't fool Mother Nature. Oh, that was margarine commercial. Margarine? Yeah, that was the woman who gets pissed at, yeah, yeah, anyway, it's an old old from the 60s. But anyway, Christie doesn't live near the coast. It's easy for him to talk and, you know, the many of the people that lost their homes are still waiting for aid. And they're still waiting. And you can't, just think about it. We did not get a full-fledged, bona fide Category 1 hurricane with Sandy. It was a very strong tropical storm. Did you imagine if, and it's very possible, a Category 2 comes up here this year? While the federal agency does not forecast likely hurricane paths, each storm is influenced by local atmospheric conditions. That changed week to week. An active hurricane season could mean significant damage from a tropical storm in New Jersey for the third year in a row. After Sandy last October, a tropical storm Irene in 2011. Studies have shown that more overall storms equal a greater chance for an impact here in New Jersey. Our Look Through the Record book does not show three consecutive years with impactful storms striking New Jersey. The conditions conducive to hurricanes, warmer ocean water, weaker trade winds, and a strong West African monsoon season have been in place since 1995. Researchers have found that the Atlantic is subject to patterns of both active or inactive hurricane seasons that can last for 25 to 40 years. The conditions change because of natural variations in the strength of the ocean's circulating currents. The warmer sea temperatures that help generate hurricanes are the result of these natural patterns and not due to climate change. Yes, sure, but the effects of climate change, including a rise in the sea level, can cause today's storms to generate more coastal flooding and damage than past storms of similar strength. Localized weather conditions influence where a hurricane will head once it is formed. If a ridge of high pressure forms from Bermuda to Texas, that blocks hurricane movement up the East Coast, good, and forces storms into the Gulf of Mexico. But if there is no high along the coast, storms can move north up the so-called Atlantic Alley. Currently, a Bermuda high is positioned off the East Coast, and a trough in the jet stream is centered over the Great Lakes, which means the Atlantic Alley is somewhat clear. The potential for a tropical storm to come up the East Coast is there over the next few weeks. Hmm. Wow. But the timing would have to be right. There will never be another storm named Sandy. Yeah, they're starting to use mail names. Which has been retired from the list of rotating names for tropical storms. Said Dennis Feltingen, a federal spokesman and meteorologist. Sandy was replaced by Sarah. Did they do it alphabetically? Really? Well, anyway, that's it. Oh, let me just do a little quick promo of something we have been selling for a long time.
