If only Kamala could override the parliamentarian or the Senate leader could fire them? Seems like people want plausible deniablity vs fighting for what is right.

“One percent now owning more than 90%. The wealth inequality that does not just speak to numbers. It speaks to deep human suffering.” Marianne Williamson

You’re a fool if you think raising minimum wage increases will help anyone. This is like treating HIV with essential oils

Very well put. Our electeds & their corporate donors benefit from our current system. People seldom want to change a system they benefit from. This is why it’s so important that we check the funding of politicians & elect folks who are representing us, not corporations & the 1%

Minimum wage needs to be increased. However. We need increases to be weighted for the cost of living in specific markets. A national minimum wage places an undue burden on small businesses in some markets and is insufficient for employees in others.
