Now @christinkallama@hcommons#GOTV canvassing for #PropA and #Amendment3 in suburban #StLouis yesterday. Lots of people had already voted (yay!), but lots of ground to cover to see these ballot measures through. You can vote no-excuse early in #Missouri through November 4. Or on November 5 (Election Day).
Voting for these measures would #RaisetheMinimumWage & guarantee paid sick leave (PropA) and #EndTheBanMO, restoring abortion rights in Missouri (Amendment 3) With your support, they can pass!

A few years old but still applicable. With "the market" in the headlines this is just a reminder.

Ian Stuart@toussaint #Biden is far from perfect on the #economy but he helped prevent a much worse #economicCrisis following the #Covid19Shutdowns . There has been fifty plus years of #industryConsolidation that has helped set the stage for #monopolies and #oligopolies ( #cartels ) to be able to set #ExcessivelyHighPrices and make #RecordProfits . We should use #antiTrustLaws to #fightInflation and Biden shouldn’t be so quiet on his (previous ?) #CampaignPromise to #RaisetheMinimumWage .
@kevinrns Let’s fix it! We need to both demand higher wages AND make sure excessive inflation is discouraged by using #antiTrust laws to break up #MonopoliesAndCartels (so that there is price competition - I strongly believe this is a more ethical solution for inflation compared to excessive #InterestRateHikes ). #Unions #SupportUnions #RaiseTheWage #FightFor15 #FightFor18 #FightFor20 #RaiseTheMinimumWage #USPolitics #BreakUpMonopoliesAndCartels #FightInflation #inequality #economics
@uspolitics Eh I’m glad #unemployment is low (but think we should set our standards higher). I’m glad #Biden talks down #TrickleEconomics but wish he would fire #JeromePowell and use #anitTrustLaws to #BreakUpMonopoliesAndCartels in order to fight #inflation (instead of using rate hikes that could harm the most vulnerable). Biden promised to raise the US minimum wage but sparsely so much as mentions it anymore. #Bidenomics #Economics #RaiseTheMinimumWage #RaiseTheWage
@RollingStone #ProgressiveDemocrats shouldn’t give #Biden unconditional support. We need to make sure Biden will actually push for the changes most of us want. Biden promised to #raiseTheMinimumWage ; what happened to that? Biden has been silent on interest #rateHikes that threaten regular working people ; why hasn’t he instead advocated to break up monopolies and cartels in order to fight #inflation in an ethical way? Biden promised no more drilling; what happened to that? #dems
