i want a progressive voice which we don’t have many of in the democratic party anymore. it’s time to grow up and realize the truth.

the older democrats are the ones making the bad calls. people like AOC are doing everything right

i agree. i’m lucky that i get paid $25/hr but at some points that doesn’t seem like enough to live on in this economy. i agree with you on a minimum wage increase, we only disagree on how that increase should be implemented. so we may have to agree to disagree

realistically, businesses aren’t paying people $7.25. they wouldn’t get applicants. just because businesses don’t pay people $7.25 doesn’t mean that should be the min wage. a $17 minimum wage would be amazing but you can’t increase the minimum wage by $10 in one day. that is a logistical nightmare.

States like California or New York took years to gradually hit higher rates like $15.

Businesses, especially small ones, might struggle to adjust their budgets, potentially leading to layoffs, price hikes, or even closures. On the flip side, low-wage workers would get a quick boost, which could stimulate spending—but if it’s too fast, the economy might not absorb the shock smoothly.

i mean it’s just a fact. you can’t raise the minimum wage from $7.50 to $17 just like that. it has to be slowly implemented

you can’t just change the minimum wage in one day. it needs to be implemented slowly in order for it to be safe for the economy. florida did this a few years ago where they were slowly making the minimum wage higher and higher by $1 year over year until it hit a certain $ amount
