Hegseth wants more homeschooling in military families. Of course he is unaware that 6 out of 10 military spouses work outside the home. Maybe instead of focusing on home school he should demand an increase in military pay. Tens of thousands of military families are food insecure,
Fix that!

Supermarkets workers want a fair deal. They are paid poverty wages - base rates of between $12 and $26 per hour. Offender abuse means workers are assaulted, threatened and abused every single day. Casual work is endemic. Workers want solutions.

I don't order food delivery very often, but when I do, I like to tip generously in cash because I know these poor delivery people aren't getting paid enough to deal with the nonsense they have to go through.

It makes me smile when I see them receive my large tip because I know it will help them a lot when they get home. I also include a note telling them to pay the kind gesture forward and to lend a hand when someone needs help.

I would encourage you to do the same, especially since most of these delivery companies in most places here in the US still pay poverty wages not suited to pay for a home. A large tip can mean a lot to the less fortunate.

If you can't afford to tip generously, that's okay. Take care of your own finances first before you help others with your wealth.

If #King and Randolph's plea for a $2 ($19 in 2023 dollars) federal #minimumwage remains unmet 55 years later, it serves as a stark reminder that our commitment to #equity must be unwavering and forward-thinking. We must understand the difference between #povertywages, nonprofit industrial complex wages, and wages that provide #economicsecurity.

Have noticed articles showing up on my Google newsfeed with the words "side hussle" in them as a way to try to normalise the fact that people are being forced to work multiple jobs because they are being paid #PovertyWages it's also trying to normalise people turning their hobbies into a business because we aren't allowed just to enjoy something for the sake of it. All humans deserve enough to live - money #UniversalBasicIncome , food, #housing , #education, #healthcare
