Besides Marie Yovanovitch and a few others, white women (on both sides of the aisle) have been a constant disappointment the last four-plus years.

I’d be surprised if more than 1-2% of workers fell into that 7.25, 16k a year poverty bracket.

iirc the average wage is already $10-11...


Just push for UBI and stop half stepping :russell:
1.6 million (1.9%) are at minimum wage but 23.8 million make less than $15.

Brookings calculated the size of the U.S. population that earned less than $15 per hour in 2019 and resided in states that aren’t raising their minimums to $15 themselves.
The top-line finding: More than 23.8 million people made less than $15 per hour in 2019, a reliable guide to the population that would benefit from a federal minimum-wage hike to that level. The calculation is based on an analysis of census data compiled by the Economic Policy Institute.

This is better than merely counting those who earn the current federal minimum of $7.25. That’s because the larger population is a better approximation of the number who would see a wage hike under the proposal. And now that it will fail, the wages of the larger population will remain below $15, in many cases further below it.

:dead: @ the 9:30 club reference

One think not to like her. Another thing to criticise a women for acting like...a woman?

The left is terrible at choosing moments in time. This video is not something she should have been shamed over. Now she gets to control the narrative and the justified criticism is mooted.

It makes for good memes :mjgrin:

But I agree. Mehdi Hasan is giving her the right kind of smoke.

The cake she brought was for those Senate staffers that had to read the bill on the floor because of Ron Johnson’s bytch ass.

Her cynicism is just what’s maddening

Also :dead: didn’t realize she patted Mitch before voting

What in that gesture is expected from a woman :mjtf:
