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.

15 an hour is still not enough for a two bedroom apartment in most places in the US unless you’re in the middle of nowhere tbh

Hold up. They’re waiting for inflation to erode 15 to 13 then they’ll raise the minimum wage to 14.75 and blame [insert corporatist-politician-being-paid-to-take-the-fall’s name here] for failing to pass legislation that they never wanted to pass anyway.

They've moved beyond that to fascism. Are your papers in order Marrianne?

It’s obscene in a country with our wealth.

$15 is NOT a living wage. We need to change this narrative around. Should be closer to $25 per hour.
