I agree about Joe Biden

The worst aspect of the bill won't survive.

What date is the "Smelling hair" holidays where the American people gather around women to smell their wonderful hair.

Who the FK would be retard enough to work for that salary lol. I wouldn't touch a real job if it paid under 30-40$ per hour and even at that salary, that's a slave salary you get after dropping out of grade 10.

Make America Hell Again!

"Who campaigned on raising the minimum wage"

Yeah bullcrap lol. He mentioned it a few times but virtually never talked about it, and it was to his own detriment. If he had talked about raising the minimum wage more he might have won Florida where they voted on their own to do it.

Still, I don't think this is the right avenue to go about raising the minimum wage. I want it raised, but they should probably just focus on Covid relief and evictions.

He "virtually never talked about" anything. Biden spent 98% of his "campaign" locked in his basement.

Federal minimum wage is a shitty thing in the first place. Differences between states and hell, even different counties and cities within states have vastly different costs of living. What does a $15 minimum wage accomplish in San Francisco? Nothing. You still end up either homeless or in a 1 bedroom flat with 8 roommates. On the flipside, $15/hour in rural Southern Illinois could pay your bills and get you a healthy mortgage on a 2 bedroom house, as a single earner, assuming you keep your job, which many workers would not, especially non-corporate workers.

State/County/City should, at this point, be the only real considerations for minimum wage. Federal workers are already being paid above federal minimum wage except for prisoners, and minimum wage isn't applied to prison labor anyway.

It's such a stupid and nonsensical talking point.

I did once, and she was actually above average.

Same stereotypes as always ie: abusive ex, wants to turn her life around but at least with some sense of self awareness.

I almost stayed with it but ended up cutting it off to get other things in order. Apparently her ex still had 50% custody.

Violent ex boyfriend still orbiting around her goods? NO THANKS

Good read.

I largely agree, but the cuts to tax deductions in high-tax states imho are impossible to swallow for most blue-state Democrats. Hence, they will propose to alternatively fund the plan via increased deficits, which will be impossible to swallow for fiscal conservative Republicans, and then the whole bill goes to shit and both sides only care about blaming the other side for that.
