And beyond that. Contrary to the popular belief that the US and capitalist society has forced on everyone. Life shouldnβt be centered around working and paying bills from when youβre a teen until you retire. People should be able to have experiences in this world
Minimum wage should be able to cover the cost of housing, food, phone bill, etc but you literally cannot survive on it. Then the government wonders why thereβs so much homelessness and why people go to other alternatives to get money
Even if the sentiment of βminimum wage is for minimal skill/educationβ was true (which itβs not) it should not equate to βminimal survival.β The basis of a minimum wage is that it is what you can live on but currently you cant even afford housing in America on $7.25
25 years ago Serb forces overtook the βUN Safe Zoneβ of Srebrenica, proceeded to seperate the women and men, and en masse committed horrific rapes, beatings, and torture before eventually executing thousands. Today, we mourn 8,372 Bosnian Muslims whose lives were exterminated.
Never forgive, never forget. I donβt really talk about Srebrenica or the genocide of thousands of people in Bosna in 1995 mostly because itβs hard to talk about your dead dad without being pitied and thatβs not what I want. But recently I realized itβs a mistake
