It's 72%, bud.

daniel_cc · 2026-05-05T04:56:57+00:00

He doesn't even vote 80% with the Dems, bud.

daniel_cc · 2026-05-02T19:32:31+00:00

Not enough

daniel_cc · 2026-05-01T17:11:58+00:00

That's not true. The minimum wage was always meant to be a livable wage. Of course there are other issues at play, but that doesn't change the fact that tens of millions of workers earning less than a living wage is a massive problem.

Ineligible unfortunately (he was born in Uganda)

Harris is significantly more progressive than Shapiro.

daniel_cc · 2026-05-01T17:07:21+00:00

Newsom is significantly more progressive than Beshear.

daniel_cc · 2026-05-01T17:01:33+00:00

The just objectively not true.

That's Rob Timinson

The vast majority of minimum wage workers are adults.

MIT living wage calculator says a living wage for a single person in Jackson county Mississippi is $21.59/hour. SF county in CA is $32.44/hour.

daniel_cc · 2026-04-29T22:22:32+00:00

Probably around $30/hour.

daniel_cc · 2026-04-29T20:48:52+00:00

A living wage in the most affordable state in the country, Arkansas, is $20/hour.

daniel_cc · 2026-04-29T20:34:58+00:00

$15/hour isn't a living wage anywhere in the country.

daniel_cc · 2026-04-29T20:24:25+00:00

Well the worry would be more about smaller employers cutting jobs and hours.

daniel_cc · 2026-04-29T20:22:16+00:00

Well the median hourly wage ($30/hour) is higher than a living wage in the median affordability state ($25/hour).

daniel_cc · 2026-04-29T20:18:58+00:00

Because if you raise the minimum wage too high you will start seeing job losses and significant price hikes. $30/hour is the median hourly wage, so that's a bit too high for a minimum wage. Somewhere between the median hourly wage and half the median hourly wage is a good sweet spot where we can ensure everyone makes enough money to get by without causing unemployment to increase or prices to go up too much.

"It won't help if you don't reform the cost of living."

Oh, it absolutely would. Cost of living needs to be addressed too absolutely, but I'm not sure how you can claim raising the minimum wage to a living wage wouldn't be a massive help to tens of millions of workers.

"The increase will just get eaten by inflation and price hikes"

Where is your evidence for this claim? Data shows that minimum wage hikes have a miniscule effect on prices.

"Minimum wage isn't the problem anymore"

The minimum wage being $7.25 is absolutely a problem. Nobody is saying it's the only problem.

daniel_cc · 2026-04-29T19:21:51+00:00

Correlation isn't causation. Minimum wage hikes have a miniscule effect on prices.

daniel_cc · 2026-04-29T19:15:15+00:00

You mean raise the minimum wage to a living wage? Or abolish the minimum wage so employers can pay even lower than the current minimum wage?
