It is utterly embarrassing that “pay people enough to live” is a stance that’s even up for debate.
Override the parliamentarian and raise the wage. McD’s workers in Denmark are paid $22/hr + 6 wks paid vacation. $15/hr is a deep compromise - a big one, considering the phase in.
y’all are bananas with this “we must respect the dead” narrative. if someone dedicated his entire life and career to making the lives of marginalized people worse and laughed when people in my community died of AIDS, yes i will be cracking a smile when i walk past his grave . bye
it’s actually wild to be living in “the best country in the world” and simultaneously be thinking “i hope the president elect doesn’t get shot during his inauguration tomorrow”
I don’t know who needs to hear this but if you had dumb cringey opinions when you were younger and have since grown and matured to be embarrassed by your terrible hot takes, I hereby absolve you of that guilt. You’re not that person anymore! Go now, you are free!
