Workers across half the U.S. will get a boost to their baseline wage, with most of the increases taking effect on January 1.

    Who’s getting a raise? No one probably. It won’t be enough to compensate for the lost wages to corporate greed “inflation”.

    Still think we should just put all elected officials on the national minimum wage and watch how fast workers lives get better.

      “You work a minimal effort job you get minimum wage.”

      Explain to me again why I’m seeing machinists and web development jobs being posted for fucking $16/hr when that’s minimum wage?

      Why are people who literally save fucking lives getting taco bell wages?

      I love how there’s always a quote to justify shit wages that just completely flies in the face of reality.

      I’d say minimal effort is simply owning a thing and paying other people to do the work for you. Sorry that making phone calls is so much work for you…
