minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish10•1 year agoOkay, now why hasn’t the minimum wage been raised in literal decades? Honestly it just seems like you’re being obtuse
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink6•1 year agoThat’s the federal minimum wage, cities have certainly raised their own minimum wages That’s why only like 1% of workers make the federal minimum wage
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish7•1 year agoNice cherry picking, you got any other fallacies to throw in there?

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•1 year agoSo we should raise the federal minimum wage so that so-called 1% of people can’t be ignored like you’re trying to do. This is how our argument has looked to me: You: “well the average is fine” Me: “well the average doesn’t help those at the bottom” You: “well they don’t matter to the average” Your arguments need a lot more work. You just seem soulless with the points you’re trying to make.
