It’s extraordinary how some people play loose with other people’s lives. It shouldn’t even be an option to withhold something that would mean the difference between poverty and non-poverty for so many.
Two key Democrats do not support the $15 minimum wage in President Biden's COVID bill, though they might be open to a smaller raise of around $11 an hour. "Everyone, it appears, seems to be laying the groundwork for the possibility of some kind of compromise," @nancycordes says

I love you SO MUCH Marianne Williamson, and I'm just appalled that people try to portray you as "Wacky" or an "Earth Mother Spaced Out", etc. You speak for the empathy of humans. Rare and much needed, but also just as genius and scientific as any other speakers out here.

Both options play with people's lives. The two Dems are bargaining for harm-reduction for the currently employed. The rest of the Dems want to experiment. Conservatives want no-harm for the currently employed.

I heard at ashrams the cook must be the person with the highest positive vibration because their energy literally enters the food everyone eats. Now consider fast food workers are the lowest paid and wonder why things are the way they are. We MUST switch to a spiritual view. Now.

What's loose is you not acknowledging the fact that many more people would lose their jobs than would see the benefit of $15. npr.org/2021/02/08/965483266…

It’s stepped, no $15 all at once. Thats already the compromise...

Perhaps they'll have a dream tonight ... dreaming that they can't pay the rent ... have no money for food ...can't buy gas for the car ... and their kids are going to bed hungry ... do you think that might do it?

You realize a $15 min wage is a BIG difference in NYC vs Iowa for example. States should enforce their own min wage but to think it’s a one size fits all solution and there won’t be negative consequences is dumb
