Yah so wise that they dropped 2 nukes to scare the USSR killing over 350,000 innocent civilians.

Do you think low wage workers will get $15. During Biden’s admin? I’m highly doubtful. The only thing that would work is for low wage workers to organize a general strike. Then it would go up I am convinced

Really we should be talking about $44/hr as the floor. A mix of Minimum Wage increases, a Maximum Wage, and #UBI could easily achieve this.

Yup! Don’t (just) fight for $15, fight for $25!

This is how unemployment rises nation wide

We asked for $15, but they didn't want to play fair so now it's $25. Still wanna f*ck around? We can make it $30!

They weren't wiser, the conditions were different. They also put people in concentration camps.
