@theepicmap Wait until this South Asian retard learns that the two continents are called North America and South America, not just "America."
Referring to the US as America is perfectly fine in the English language.
@xyxexnxcxi@NewsWire_US First of all, reread my comment. It says that only 0.1% of the people earn EXACTLY $7.25/hr.
Second of all, increasing the minimum wage only increases the price of the product; it does not make things more affordable. Increase supply instead.
More supply = more affordability.
@xyxexnxcxi@NewsWire_US About 0.1% of hourly-paid workers earn exactly the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, while roughly 1.0% earn at or below it (the standard BLS metric).
@copecop911@WarMonitor3 A limited crew under temporary hardship does not equal systemic pressure on 90M people. Iranโs oil exports have been crushed by the blockade, inflation is running 70-90%+, and officials admit they canโt sell oil normally. Real impacts exist and can compound. Data beats insults.
