@rbreich National Minimum Wage in Australia $21.38 per hour, reviewed annually. 4 weeks paid annual leave plus 10 public holidays. Medicare for all. Employers pay minimum additional 9% of wage into Superannuation (like 401k). Itā€™s not perfect, but we donā€™t carry guns. Get a nursing or teaching qualification and emigrate.

I looks so stupid. Like you found it in a pocket doing laundry and didnā€™t even get that excited.

@rbreich The lie of trickle down economics, the threats to take our social security and unwillingness to pay a living wage have one thing in common: Republicans. So, why oh why does anyone vote for them?
