It’s literally admitting that you’re worth more than we’re paying you, but yeah we’re still gonna fuck you as long as legally possible.
I’m wearing my body out for less than that. How can $15 still be years away :agony-deep:
But what about small businesses, because apparently the wages they pay are a great means for allocating access to food and housing.
Stay mad people. Please.
“Damnit, how can we get the proles to leave us alone?”
“They’ve been going on about a $15 minimum wage for about a decade now, that would probably shut them up.”
“Hmm, I don’t think the Oligarchs would be too happy about that…How can we seem like we did the thing but have nothing substantially change?”
“We could do it, but delay it so long that we are certainly not going to be in power anymore and the GOP can just shut it down for us.”
“Perfect, call it pragmatic and make it happen…or not…you know what I mean!”
We’ve acknowledged that you can’t survive based on the amount of money your employer is currently paying you, but if we made them pay you a fair amount right now he’d lose too much money, so we’re giving him five years to figure it out. Good luck with the next five years of rent increases 👍
