If the USA is truly the “richest nation”, the minimum would be $25.00/hr for all workers in all industries, no exceptions, tips not included.

If you supported $15/hr a decade ago, you now support $20/hr for the same amount with inflation.

For me, it means I’m back below where minimum wage should be. :sigh:

Federal minimum wage should be $30 per hour, with yearly raises to account for inflation.

But, the filthy rich know that money is power, and they want us to be powerless.

Many, many years ago, when Bill Gates first became filthy rich he said in an article, I’m paraphrasing, “Things only get so good, once you can afford to have the best of everything, the rest of the money is just for keeping score.” And, the game they’re tracking is who is most powerful.

Trump bankrupted two casinos, and is a notoriously bad businessman, which is why he jumped at the chance to run for President. Because, the President of the U.S. is “the most powerful man in the world”, at least on paper. It’s also why he’s wielding that power so ruthlessly–it’s his bruised ego. He couldn’t hack it in the private sector, he never got anywhere near the top and the top kept rising, getting further out of reach. Why don’t more billionaires run for office? Easy, they don’t want the responsibility. They want power without consequences.

“Everything is about sex, except sex. Sex is about power.” But, really everything is about power, including sex, and money.

The disparity in power is what gets them off. That explains why they flocked to Epstein. There’s no greater disparity in power for humans than between a billionaire and a young girl.

Ew, a lot of folks 🧵 don’t get your nation is working as intended. Either topple your capitalist nation, or enjoy your boot.

With mmw that low, you might as well not have it. If you want a living wage; unionize.

What a joke
