Look for yourself 2 working adults 2 kids - is $15/hr a "living wage?"

No one tell old man Bernard China is leaps and bounds ahead of amerikkka on climate.

Oh and the genocide....simple "disagrements". Dude can't mention genocide.

    The silver lining is that the de facto abolishment of the minimum wage makes union organising more pressing. When the state and the market is abandoning workers, workers have to do shit themselves.

    There is an argument to be had that a minimum wage becomes a de facto maximum wage in many jobs and sucks the air out of collective bargaining efforts that would have turned better results for workers. I don't know if I agree a hundred percent with this but it is the reason why Nordic unions are very opposed to having a European minimum wage.
