Biden & Harris won’t override the decision of the parliamentarian on the $15/hr minimum wage hike, saying they’re disappointed but that they respect it. Better they should respect the right of everyone who works 40 hours a week to make a living wage. For 900,000 people it matters

We fought to win the Senate, only to be shown that it didn't really matter and they set up blockers to continue the no huge change and actions. I figured it would be something. This is it.

I think the Republians have over-ruled the Parliamentarian at least twice ... Again ... Biden needs to ask himself what does he really want? ... Does he want to win or not? ... a $15 minimum wage would be a huge win for thousands of citizens pulling them out of poverty!

Joe Manchin would vote against it with the $15 min wage was included, so why do it? You would look weak if you overrode the parliamentarian and then couldn't get the bill passed.

Be wary of the "works 40 hours a week" thing. The corruption is deep enuf to say, oh, you can only work 39.5." Pls see #workplacemobbing, J Harper PhD (@huffpost @PsychToday) #gangstalking fightgangstalking,com Pls consider defense for #TARGETEDINDIVIDUALS. #blacklist #infragard

They must get to double digit minimum wage soon. It’s impossible to live on 7.25 an hour. Common sense must be found in the senate. No matter how rare it is

They don't care. We tried to tell you this last year. They are ghouls.

I agree that the Parliamentarian provided an OPINION that could be overridden. That said, there were Dems that would have voted no because of the min. wage and that would hold up COVID relief. They need to reset and put forward a clean $15 min wage bill.

Our officials need to have their salaries decreased to the average salary in the US. Since they think people are fine living on pennies.
