  • Sanders introduces bill to raise minimum wage to $17 by 2030, benefits nearly 22 million Americans

  • A higher federal minimum wage [...] would destroy lower cost of living states.

    No. It would probably be better for it to come in incrementally, but increasing wages would help, even if it might squeeze some small businesses. Having looked at the balance sheet for more than one small business, wages are rarely the most significant cost, and when they are the profit margins are larger.

    Every time the minimum wage increased while I was a kid, my father (a small business owner) complained, but the county got better overall. Any business that closed was replaced with two that provided the same goods/services within 6 months.

    If you look at the data from states raising their minimum wages, you won't see either massive price increases (some, tho generally tracking inflation) or a large decrease in small businesses per capita.

  • I agree it isn't enough. I want UBI and Medicare4All and post-secondary education (including trade schools) free to accepted students, and so much more.

    But, I will gladly take a federal minimum wage increase. I do think it should be set based on cost of living in the cheapest/poorest states, and that some states should have an even higher minimum wage.

    (I would not directly benefit, I'm currently unemployed, but generally paid significantly more than minimum wage [I'm a computer programmer by trade.].)

  • Any full time position should be able to afford someone all necessities. If not, it’s the very definition of exploitation.

  • Yay, my state was mentioned.

    Did you hear our Gov. Sanders (no relation) wants to allow child labor at below minimum wage, and increase the number of positions that can pay minimum-tipped-wages of $2.13/hr ?

    Federal minimum wage should indeed increased. But, I have heard people recently complaining that McDonalds workers shouldn't be receiving a living wage, because they worked at McDonalds 5 decades ago. I keep my mouth shut and yearn to move away when my familial duties are complete (or my will is exhausted).

  • the USA is running a death camp in El Salvador called CECOT

    True

    stop using their death machine money

    Good advice, though a little hard to do if you are in America.

    americans don’t deserve anything

    And, here's your source of downvotes. People, even really shitty people, deserve food, water, and shelter, at a minimum. Shitty people (including a too large number of Americans) don't have to be heard, and shouldn't be given any political power, but they are still sentient beings that didn't ask to be here, and don't deserve pain or suffering.

  • While I don't doubt this, I'm also sure that tarrifs will also affect the pricing/availability of utility (non-status symbol) mobile devices.

    We are going to have to deal with this for 4 years (unless some Rs will vote the remove in 2) and recovery won't be immediate. I hope my current mobile lasts that long, but I usually only get about 3 years out of a battery. Replacement parts will be hit by tarrifs, too.

  • Will you pay $500?

    Jump

  • My switch is in the closet, so no. But, if I did currently play switch games, yeah.

    I dislike the pricing, but I feel like it's probably fair. I like comparing $price/hr-entertainment vs. going to the movies. I think for most games, it will still be better value. But, I can understand using other metrics. A dropout.tv subscription is only 6.99/mo and there's at least a couple hours of new stuff being added to that each month, I think.

  • AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking

  • I think that reveals you aren't a "normal" request. Since "normal" user requests don't have that exact list of fonts. I'm anonymous, but aberrant.

  • "Sure my boss took advantage of me, but I will always remain firm on this point: it was a consensual relationship," Lewinsky wrote in 2014. "Any 'abuse' came in the aftermath, when I was made a scapegoat in order to protect his powerful position."

    Lewinsky says she now sees that her relationship with Clinton was full of "inappropriate abuse of authority, station, and privilege."

    "Now, at 44, I’m beginning (just beginning) to consider the implications of the power differentials that were so vast between a president and a White House intern," she wrote. "I’m beginning to entertain the notion that in such a circumstance the idea of consent might well be rendered moot."
