    Is that insect called 'Europe?'

    Could this insect be largely responsible for Africa's underdevelopment?

    If over the past year journalists had asked every politician, regardless of political affiliation, to justify why the richest country in the world can't offer as much as much to its citizens as Australia, we'd be in a very different place.

    America has ppl begging for ONE $2k check, when Australia gave $24,000 in a year.

    You really have to ask yourself why you're threatened by the idea that someone with less education or with a necessary job that you don't respect should earn a wage that affords them a comfortable life.

    People (especially white people) in this country, built on slavery, are deeply invested in maintaining class difference. It's a primary motivation for higher education. And we're conditioned to believe the less educated deserve more physically taxing work for minimal compensation

    The comparison of minimum wage workers to college educated workers suggests there aren’t college educated minimum wage workers, suggests education is the only factor in how folks are compensated, suggests only people who could access a degree deserve to live above poverty.

    Teachers are underpaid, but let’s discuss what “makes sense” - minimum wage workers should be able to afford housing. - minimum wage workers should be able to afford their care, rest, and leisure. - minimum wage workers shouldn’t be “frontline” but compensated as disposable.

    So Biden’s $15 minimum wage comes out to $31,200 a year for a 40 hour work week. The starting salary for a beginning teacher in Texas is $33,660. So a person working a minimum wage job will be making almost the same as a teacher with a college degree. Does this make any sense? 🤷‍♂️

    In '98 I worked at Wendys and made $7.25—the current federal min wage. A medium #6 combo after taxes came out to $4.45. Today that same combo runs you over $9.00. So when you say doubling the minimum wage will double prices, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about lmao.
