  1.  @technosaurus3805  Everywhere the minimum wage is raised, there is NO significant rise in prices or unemployment. On the contrary, it boosts consumption.

  2. So sorry to hear this... You are right. Healthcare should be tied to the citizen, not the wage slave!

  3. $15 raise nationally and a $20 minimum wage in the richest states.

  4. How? It will stimulate the economy and people will buy more with their money - this is something we definitely need after the pandemic and the economic downturn. Minimum wage raises have been done in many other countries and it never increased unemployment rates.

  5. No, it will stimulate consumers to buy more. Time and time again, minimum wage raises never really impacted unemployment.

  7. There are already almost no manufacturing jobs in the US. And almost everything you describe actually never materialized in countries where the minimum wage was increased.

  8.  @cmack17  Towards Dem-leaning people to remind them the job isn't over. We need to keep the pressure on Biden to actually pass his promises.

  9. We need to stop going after our allies and leaders. Bernie can't do itall by himself. Remember his motto "Not me, us". It is our collective duty to push for better and more extensive policies! He energizes the crowds and the people, this is more than enough for one person only.

  10.  @aero3318  Being poor and sick is the absolute contrary to liberty. Sociopathic tendencies should absolutely be shunned upon and I have no regret in shaming crazy "libertarians".

  11. No, we don't see that increase because wages are just a tiny fraction of the cost of products.

  12.  @t6amygdala  No, "ancaps" are not anarchists and never will. No Gods, no masters. Acting like the tyranny of the economy and corporations doesn't exist is being a shill for them.

  13. The minimum wage needs to be tied to inflation.

  14.  @hungryburger8726  Sadly no, he's a "libertarian".

  15.  @t6amygdala  You are so naive. I hope you are not older than 8 because this would be a tragedy.

  17. We should never forget this.

  18. Wages are just one among many other costs to run a business, it won't change prices that much. On the other hand, bigger wages = more consumption.

  20.  @t6amygdala  Individuals are quite stupid but as the saying goes "apes together strong". As a species, we are known to have collective intelligence.

  21.  @t6amygdala  "To protect the NAP". No one agrees on what constitutes an aggression - that's why we have laws to determine it.

  22.  @aero3318  I find the egotistical view quite exhausting. We as a species have thrived because we care for each other and never leave an injured fellow monke on the side of the road. Those who praise individualism as a religion should be ashamed and realize how dangerous and hypocritical their beliefs are. Remember Ayn Rand and her reliance on the social security she abhorred?

  25.  @t6amygdala  The response? No the continuation. Being a wage slave isn't that much glorious than being a serf.

  26. We haven't lost! With a neoliberal, we have more power to speak up whereas under Trump, we have no influence in the opposition! We need to keep fighting. "Not me, us".
