I’m not advocating for any specific policy—I just fucking hate this argument.
A. It’s objectively and historically false. When the minimum wage was established in 1938, FDR (whom I can’t stand) stated: “By living wages, I mean more than a bare subsistence level—I mean the wages of a decent living.”
B. I got my first job at 14 because my family was poor. It’s bullshit to tell someone they’re worth less because they’re young. If you can do the job, you deserve fair pay—age shouldn’t determine your value.
The minimum wage should either be adjusted annually to keep pace with inflation or be abolished entirely. It’s been stagnant at $7.25 since 2009, and in practice, it now serves more as a benchmark that suppresses wages than as a meaningful protection for workers.
My favorite band just released a new song. I'm going to fight the urge all day to listen to it and I plan on doing a live reaction tonight on stream. I have heard a few spoilers but not a lot so let's get it. Come hangout as I listen to Caramel by sleep token tonight 8:30pm EST
My favorite podcast to learn and grow right now are Joe Rogan, modern wisdom, and diary of a CEO. Obviously I listen to other ones for fun but these are my go to for my own betterment. I'm always interested in new ones so what's yours?
Wanted to stream tonight. Kids have been sick so they haven't been sleeping much. Finally better than I got to clean up and my glasses break. What a day
