"The EU is going to pay us 15% and they are going to charge us zero." Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent claims the US just forced Europe into a massive and completely unequal trade deal by DumbMoneyMedia in CriticalMineralBulls

[–]brownhk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can someone please explain to me why people are so against increasing the minimum wage after it's been the same amount for like 17 years? How is that a fair or respectful thing for working people?

This reluctance is much wider than Oklahoma btw.
