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.

Even at $15/hr, in many parts of the US, one can't afford to rent an apartment w/out a roommate of some sort. It's crazy. Apartments used to be for folks that couldn't afford a home just yet.

They haven't even raised it above $8, they are a joke, that party is broken. Having complete control of Congress now twice in 11-12 years and producing next to nothing in transformative change is all the proof one needs to abandon that corrupt party.

What does the military budget have to do with minimum wage? I get 780bn is too much but it’s not like the government is paying Americans wages.

$15 an hour would offend their wealthy donors and that is who the @DNC establishment is more loyal to.... There has to be a hostile takeover if there's to be any real leftward movement. And in the Hostile takeover, needs to be understood that party leaders are not your friends!

We should raise the minimum wage to $500 an hour.

How is 15 dollars even livable?

You pushed voting for Biden, FFS!! You have the luxury of not needing the money, so you can feign ignorance about pushing a proven liar, racist & corporate servant on the rest of us.

As Bernie just said on his town hall, Congress is poised to deliver $25 Billion MORE than Biden asked for to the MIC and a huge amount to the chip industry, no strings attached.
