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.

No worries. @JoeBiden promised to raise the #minimumwage.

It seems to be turning into a moot point. All across the US, businesses are being forced to raise wages to $15 & are still having trouble recruiting. That suggests the goal s/b even higher... $20 sounds about right.

Stop raising property taxes will help! 😉

As wise as you are Marianne, you MUST begin to connect the dots. The Military nor the rest of our government is actually there for us. Its merely a pretense that the majority gladly buys into. Also be prepared for the day everyone finally does connect the dots. #Rev18

The surplus value extracted from the global working class must be protected by state violence in each country. Also the military is essential if one Capitalist Class invades the territory of another. This is why the US spends $780 Billion a year on it.

The job market is dead already and we won’t find any solutions to our poverty problem with mere minimum wage legislation. We unequivocally need UBI.

With the Dems struggling and inflation rising, this comment seems tone deaf.

Correct ... a huge portion of the Progressive Agenda has been left by the side of the Road.

This is not a serious economic perspective or strategy.
