If only Democrats had the stones to do this.

      You don’t get it. I’ve never made six figures in my life. That’s NY poor. We pay more to live here. A dozen eggs is $12.99 here right now. A studio apartment is $1800/mo. Things cost more in wealthier states, so the poverty line is higher, hence the higher state minimum wage.

        And therefore an hour of my life is worth less than an hour of yours.

        Permanent underclass of flyover morlocks.

          Still not getting it. Money is fictional. How many cartons of eggs per hour do you make? How many days do you need to work to pay rent? God you’re a dense one.

            Let’s put this in a way you’ll refuse to understand because it contradicts the semester of econ you had with someone who was obviously a chicago school weenie.

            Workers deserve a minimum level of protection no matter where they work. And I don’t trust anyone who sees a statement like that and starts carving out exceptions before anything is accomplished.
