Wouldn’t the $2T American Jobs Plan be a good place to include raising the minimum wage to $15/hr? Did we just sort of drop that...? Is it one of those “We’ll get back to it later” things that goes into a political black hole and never makes its way out? epi.org/publication/raising-…

Their donors successfully “lobbied” against it. That’s why it’s not happening. Insane how they’re so deeply corrupt that they can’t see how our current course is completely unsustainable if they want a decent economy.

This just in 31B to native Americans. 1.5B to undocumented individuals in NY But didn't Biden say he would be for reparations as long as the natives were part of it? Yes he did. But black Americans aren't connected to what they get. Who put Biden in office? Blacks

Same way how they dropped the public option. Not a peep about it since the election.

That bill already has so many things that have nothing to do with jobs or infrastructure that it'll be lucky to pass as is... Raising the minimum wage at this time would kill the bill completely... It's not time to raise the min wage right when small businesses are being KILLED.
