minus-squarehogunner@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up109·11 hours agoJust a reminder that we’ve been trying to get the minimum wage to $15/hr for so long that if we kept up with inflation the minimum wage would be over $25/hr now. By the time $15/hr actually passes it’ll be less than half of what it should be.
minus-squareCosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up40·8 hours agoI’m so fucking tired of hearing about a living wage. I want a thriving wage! If that means that janitors and whoever the fuck conservatives want to shit on make $40-50 dollars and hour, so be it. Wages have been so stagnant that I want a labor market and not a job market.
