I'll believe it when I see it. Seems every candidate has promised this for as long as I've been following American politics and no one actually manages it.
They'll blame someone other than their ineptitude in governing
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Surely we'll get it this time.
Oh.
My minded automatically corrected that as "doubling from 15 to 30". Because that's what it needs to be, at least.
I doubt many people make anywhere close to minimum, but no excuse not to raise it!
5-years ago? Yep, we had tons of clients paying rock bottom, or close enough. I'm not in the payroll business anymore, but the jobs my wife was looking at as a preschool teacher were $12+, and that job always pays shit. Walmart and Target start at $15, or more.
All this is a small town where you would expect small wages. I was in Manhattan in 1992 and was astounded at the prices. Ask my native friend how people survived on minimum wage. He looked at me funny and laughed, "Dude. No one gets minimum wage. $10 is as low as it goes."
Good news on one of those shit paying clients! They were really hurting and the new CEO turned everything around in a couple of years. At that time, they started paying $12, paying benefits and paying for education.
That's great!
Certain burger-flipping former presidents have legal fees to pay and this goes a LONG way to making due.
Heard this before. Democrats will encounter one tiny setback and give up until the next election cycle.
Two words: Arms embargo.
Other than that, ask the Cheney's for some more advise on how to campaign.
Did you post this in the wrong thread, or did lemmy do the thing where you post in one thread and it winds up in another?
And yes, there needs to be an arms embargo. Unless the intended thread was about Ukraine. Ukraine needs the support we're wasting on Netanyahu.
The Russian trolls seem to be doing overtime now that the election is getting close.
