Is kinda bullshit. 75k in Idaho is way different than 75k in Washington DC. I know a lot of people making over 75k that are out of jobs and will struggle to pay next months bills because of this.

But you can buy plenty of Fentanyl with 1k or 1.5k $, no ?

Laughs in below average cost of living index

Thanks Obama

Doesnt the stimulus bill also include billions in reimbursements or block grants for states? States with a high cost of living will also be states with a larger state GDP - so they should receive more of this money per capita than poor, rural states if I'm not mistaken. The states should therefore be able to fill this gap.

15$/hour min wage nationwide NOW!, in san fran and bumfuck alabama. dont let those greedy GOPs cheat you of what you're worth.

Agreed but people, states, and businesses need money now. They weighed a more complex and personalized approach vs a streamlined and simplified approach. There are certainly issues with the latter, but I think it's the right call given the urgency.

great post my friend!

its funny how no loonie lefties realize an equal national minimum wage means people are worth less in liberal states.

Cost of living aside, this whole thing has really highlighted which jobs are "essential".
