Today's minimum wage is still $7.25. A third of American workers work for less than $15/hr., and half of those cannot find a place to live. A living wage in most major cities is over $20/hr. This is how America creates, maintains and ignores a permanent underclass. It should be clarion call to a justice, conscience, and a revolution at the ballot box. marianne2024.com

the FEDERAL minimum wage... What states don't have it higher?
Replying to @marwilliamson
So…33% of all American workers make less than $15/hour? Maybe the woke shitheads who got their college degrees and now whine about how they want the rest of us to pay for it should use their degrees to get better jobs…

I remember making minimum wage and having to work two jobs. I was young and it was ok. But as I got older, I decided to get ahead. I joined the military to learned a trade. But now, these snowflakes want a meaningless job with engineering pay. Fuck you and them!

Who is getting paid federal minimum wage? Anyone? Anywhere? The real minimum wage is 0 if you can't get a job because they don't think your value is more than that. Get a skill. Become someone who people want to pay to do good work.

Why do people act like there is a finite amount of money when it comes to wage workers and an infinite amount of money for Billionaires. Like some asshole is worth 250 billion and there is nothing wrong with the system, but poor people want $20 an hour for back breaking labor and there is systemic laziness and it will blow up the the economy. If a company cannot afford to pay their employees a living wage they do not deserve to do business in America. Underpaying hard working, desperate Americans doesn’t make you a smart business man, it makes you a fucking tyrant.

A permanent underclass is needed as a recruiting base for the Empire’s stormtroopers, otherwise who would sign up to go fight and die in Iraq, Ukraine, etc.? You’re an imperial simp who supports all that, of course, along with Bernie Sanders, RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, etc.

Which SHOULD motivate people to not ever allow themselves to be unskilled laborers. But all it does is motivate people like you to get people with little to no skills to be paid as if they have them.

$7.25/hour is the Federal Minimum Wage. Most States pay higher.

That is how it should be. A large major city will have to pay their employees more than an rural worker. All businesses are not the same.
