Every day that goes by adds one more day to the longest amount of time that minimum wage has gone without being raised. Remember “Fight for Fifteen”? That was ten goddamned years ago.

Democrats had total control of Congress and the Whitehouse for a total of four years since the last time it was raised. Their failure TO EVEN TALK ABOUT RAISING IT is one reason why Republicans haven’t been rendered completely irrelevant.

@OGjester it's one of the first things they tried and sinema voted it down, because she's scum. Waiting for more senators to try again. Its not like republicans are going to raise it.

@El_Presidente39 the last time it was raised was by Bush Jr. The last Democrat to do it was last century.

@OGjester

I agree.

In addition, I also think that #MonopoliesAndCartels need to be broken up to increase #PriceCompetition to #fightInflation. Otherwise mega corporations will use rising wages an an excuse to raise prices (even though they could easily swallow the extra cost of fair wages). We have to demand a higher standard of living and understand what could be done to raise it.

That the minimum wage isn’t significantly higher is purely about #greed .

@IanStuart this should be blown up to poster-size and hung at every workplace in the U.S. I don’t know about you, but I’ve adjusted my productivity accordingly.
