Always talking about minimums, but never maximums.
Set the maximum to a factor of the lowest. Want to pay yourself more? Great! Go ahead! You just have to make sure you pay all your employees enough too.
Same party of billionaires.
Good start, but if they think this is going to end this absolutely insane wealth disparity they have another thing coming.
No one policy is going to do that on its own. Criticizing one that that would help because it's not all the things, is fucking stupid
Criticizing it because it will never pass and it’s just a sham they are selling so you vote for their genocidal asses is not fucking stupid.
Repeatedly saying "this won't pass" Everytime a fix is proposed GIVES THEM PERMISSION TO NOT PASS IT.
You're telling politicians that you won't get mad at them for blocking it. You've already accepted defeat. Stop it.
Who the fuck accepted defeat? I just got another weapon two days ago, and trained someone new on its use yesterday. What the fuck are you doing?
They need to set the maximum wage to 6x the lowest paid employee not 600x.
$1bn per year working 40 hours a week is 19,231 times more than 25
😳
It's not a good start, we all know this is election year pandering they will go no where
Hot take: Progressive congresspeople should focus on ending union-busting, not on increasing minimum wage. The unions can handle minimum wage.
would be a welcomed change, but won't happen.
It must be an election year
Can we make bets on it not passing? I could use the extra money.
Now that's what I call hedging!
I've got "great" news: there are apps for that now.
It would be nice if they could pass it in time for it to still be relevant.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
