The headline stands as a suggestion.
Remember how Dems a few weeks ago were urging Pence to get the Trump cabinet together and to lead a 26th Amendment effort? How long before Harris gets dementia pressure? Bernie got scuttled for this man to become President. The nation should weep. The two-party stranglehold on our people, on US, is sick and in need of reform.
Last, what would be wrong with a twenty-one buck living wage? Nothing. Zippo. It makes good sense. If you use somebody's time, time being all we have until the Reaper moves, you have to pay more per hour than a part of the cost of a tube of Neosporin, which is where the federal seven buck obscenity stands today.
_________UPDATE________
Passing on hyperbole; the current federal minimum wage is seven and a quarter an hour. Amazon will sell you a one ounce Neosporin tube for $6.88.
That means work an hour at the fed minimum, buy that salve, and have a quarter, a dime and two pennies left over. That is hyperbole-free fact. The pocket change can be put toward the monthly rent.
What are the people of this nation allowing to be done to the least wealthy of US? Why is this being tolerated? What further indictment of two-party politics is needed?
At least we can take comfort in the fact Mike Bloomberg can buy all the Neosporin he wants. That's opportunity in Amerika. Bloomberg could even buy some Neosporin for others, if so charitably inclined. But he'd probably let Trump do it. Or Congress. Or Medicaid. Or the Easter Bunny.
Buying politicians instead seems The Mike Bloomberg Way. It is all about the return on investment.
__________FURTHER UPDATE_________
Latest left lament over Biden turning his back on his minimum wage promises; Harris having made the same promises; Daily Poster, Down With Tyranny.
Swinish abandonment of extremely popular policy promises augers Dem problems during the 2022 midterms. Do Biden and Harris care? Getting hammered in the midterms could be suggested as all the more cause for promises to go unfulfilled - not having the votes in the caucus; not wanting to offend a paid parliamentarian; not really caring a rip; not fully allied to a cause money opposes; whatever.
If there are not the Senate votes in caucus, isn't that Schumer's problem to rectify? Else, what does it mean to lead a caucus? What's being pulled now looks like a lesson in how to mislead a caucus, the Schumer-Biden direction of "tell everyone what they want to hear, then serve the money interests." That latter direction has gotten some people a prime island waterfront mansion retirement estate and lifestyle. That fact could resonate with active career politicians wanting more over a lifetime - into retirement.
