it's HIGHLY important that we remember that it wasn't the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.
REPUBLICANS. LITERALLY. RUN. THE. FUCKING. GOVERNMENT.
The White House. The House. The Senate. The Supreme Court.
Stop blaming Joe fucking Biden for everything.
I really don’t understand why they would rather have 5000 vacant apartments for 5+ years that no one can afford, instead of making rent affordable and making money for the 5+ years. Greed is such a strange thing.
Honestly this scares me. Everything keeps getting more expensive while salaries just sit there. Feels like no matter how hard you work, you’re just staying in the same place.
The "minimum wage" in 1980 was $3.10, which is $11.50 in today's dollars. The actual minimum wage today is $7.25. They didn't just refuse to raise it, they let inflation cut it in half and called you entitled for noticing. Poverty wages are a policy choice, not an accident.
Democrats should introduce national paid sick and parental leave and call it the MITCH Act. If you can be missing from your job for months as a U.S. Senator and still collect your full paycheck, working Americans should get the same deal.
Nobody wants to work anymore because the reward is gone. Half of us are living paycheck to paycheck, with no savings for retirement or a house. Two paychecks away from homelessness. This is not laziness, it is pure exhaustion.
This economy is whooping everybody's ass. Regardless of how well they carry it!
Please DO NOT feel embarrassed about your financial situation right now. A lot of people are struggling, and we're all just doing the best we can to get through it. 😮💨 it takes a village sometimes
