It's needs to be raised and indexed to inflation.
Raising it alone is not enough. We'll just spend another thirty years fighting for the next increase.
Some democratic states have actually done that like California and New York. There's been bills from some dems representatives to do that federally in the past
If dems get a tricecta, I suspect some dems would push for that again
And then other Dems would block it! Sorry, I have no faith in good things happening. Still voting Dem though.
I was pleasantly surprised with some of the bills Biden tried to pass while he had the absolute slimmest of majorities 3 years ago. My disdain for conservative Democrats was also very much strengthened through that experience...
Agreed, and that's why I vote as progressive as I can in primaries.
Primaries? Democrats apparently don't need primaries. I'm all for living wages though btw. I'd say $30/hr as of today.
Ideally, it would.
But there is also a perverse incentive in politics against permanent solutions - as once Dems pass a law increasing/indexing the minimum wage, it’ll eventually become normalised after a couple cycles and people will fall back into their old ways and switch back to voting against their interests (GOP) due to social issues.
If they solve the problem they cant campaign on it. Xeno paradox ish.
And Arizona
