Raising the min wage from $7.25/hr to $15/hr would increase wages of 32 million workers, a majority of whom currently live below poverty line. If the Dems refuse to do this, they’ll surrender all moral authority among millions of people whose votes they will need in the midterms.

And you need too look at what businesses would close and who’s hours would get cut. Jobs will be lost Especially after trying to rebuild from Covid

Very important!

$15hr is raising no one out of poverty. It must be $33.32 an hr in order to get out of poverty. Only the federal government mandating this can guarantee fairness and equality for all minorities and trans persons!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My account just overdrafted again, that alone should say enough.

Not only am I unsurprised that @TheDemocrats immediately screwed over the American public as soon as they got the votes, I'm simply voting @GreenPartyUS from now on. ❌ No $2000 ❌ No $15 Min Wage ❌ No #MedicareForAll ❌ No #GreenNewDeal Just bullshit and excuses. @AOC

Raising the minimum wage won’t help anyone. Try renting an apartment in Seattle on minimum wage.

You had me until you used the word “all” before “moral authority,” at which point you overstated it and it became hyperbole.

As a small business owner I pay higher than minimum wage but less than $15. At that amount I will go out of business. There has to be a happy solution here!

Wouldn't it be better to provide UBI for the increase? Give everyone $7.50/hr for 160 hours.

Seems like it’s not going to happen- Vernie was pushing for something to reach $15 in 5 years. Which is too far away
