This is just for show and will end up going nowhere. If you think this has even a remote chance at changing the minimum wage then I have a bridge to sell you.

We live in a time where democrats do nothing but act appalled, corporations control politics, corporations keep getting bigger, consumer prices increase year after year, healthcare premiums constantly cost more and employee benefits keep getting more expensive every year. What gives you the idea corporations are going to let politicians triple minimum wage? If that happens it will have a ripple effect where higher paying job positions will want a raise because why should someone making an entry level wage be paid the same as a job position with a lot more responsibility?

How can anyone survive on ~$7.80/hr? That is modern day indentured slavery.

[-] RosaLuxemburgsGhost@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

Not nearly enough.

This is one of those ask for 100 so you can negotiate down to 50 kind of things isn't it? Or just a pretend attempt to look good when it's obviously rejected.

[-] Wakmrow@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

It's a pretend attempt lol

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

No, it phases in over a few years.

[-] Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

You're saying that as if it passed and will be going into effect. This will absolutely not pass if the 15 an hour that's been attempted constantly over the last decade hasn't.

[-] atoro@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

Can't wait for this to not go anywhere and have several dems finger-wag for the next several years saying there's nothing they can do

Trump white house just posted " 2 kings" and these people still trying to pass fake bills?

The people of the US need to woke up before it is too late if they want their democracy back, otherwise they can accept the new kingdom.

I am not sure what he will call it, maybe just Trump

these people still trying to pass fake bills?

Telling voters what to expect, if voters give Democrats power, is not "fake bills". What do you want, for Democrats to not tell voters what they would pass, if given power?

[-] Calfpupa@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Uhh that would require them to try this shit when in power, which they don't do.

[-] 8oow3291d@feddit.dk -1 points 3 weeks ago

Democrats have not had a filibuster-proof majority for almost 20 years.

Sometimes I think Americans don’t know how democracy works. You can’t blame a party for not passing stuff, if you don’t give that party the power to pass stuff.

[-] Wakmrow@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Wild how republicans can enact the most heinous shit then huh

Yay! Public masturbation instead of actually fucking doing something. What happened to impeaching the shit stain that keeps desecrating the constitution?

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

What happened to impeaching the shit stain that keeps desecrating the constitution?

A basic understanding of arithmetic and calendars...

Who was saying wed impeach before midterms?

Trying to do that, wouldn't change anyone's mind.

Trying to do this, something most Americans want, forces Republicans and neoliberals to go against it, which hurts them in primaries/mid terms.

If you don't understand why people are doing something, just ask bro.

That's how we learn.

[-] echo@lemmy.today -3 points 3 weeks ago

No... a basic understanding that they're bought and paid for by the same billionaires and always follow their masters' orders. There is no chance in hell that this will happen at all and meanwhile they're changing the subject from Epstein and Iran to this. Fucking shills... every single one of them.

Lifting millions out of poverty wages isn't "masturbation". Wealth inequality can be traced to several problems within the country, and can be directly linked to several factors leading to the election of Trump.
