What happened to raising the minimum wage to $15? There’s currently no place in America where someone can rent a two bedroom apartment working 40 hours a week at minimum wage job. $780B/yr to the military … yet we can’t provide our own people with a way to make a decent living.

Just drive around and look. Fast food joints all over the place are already offering that (or more, often with signing bonuses) and are still having trouble finding employees.

Yeah: Thom Hartmann drew a line in the sand for $15, now where’s the battle front…lost in the fog of the Big War of Terror Lie…see Matthew Evans FB page for recent post and comment on The Big Lie: good stuff from Solzhenitsyn and Havel. ❤️💪🏽❤️

All this talk about the minimum wage. You really have to ask yourself right now. If you’re making less that $15/hour, is that a reflection of bad governance or a bad personal choices.

That was never going to happen. Giving billions to the military makes rich ppl (and Congresspeople!) richer. Raising the minimum wage doesn't.

Yeah, America doesn’t care about it’s people. What else do you need to see??

Is $15 even considered substantial at this point? Until inflation has ceased & desirable affordable housing is abundant, that figure is outdated. Most people (especially single parents) cannot provide on 31000 a year.

Please no longer use the term minimum wage. We need a living wage and $20/hr is a good place to start, increasing $1.50/hr ever year until we reach at least $26/hr at year 4, followed by indexing it to inflation after that. raisetheminimumwage.com/ques…

What does it mean to index the minimum wage to inflation?

Sixteen states plus the District of Columbia have adopted laws to index their minimum wages to rise automatically with the cost of living. Ten states currently index minimum wage increases each year:...
