@CStamp Meanwhile normal people are expected to live on what was *barely* a living wage almost two decades ago. And that's before grocery prices have been going up since the pandemic started, essentially making a huge recent inflation spike for us normals.

Every single time companies get the perfect opportunity to raise wages for workers, they do stock buybacks and give the CEOs another yacht instead. "Trickle down" has had many decades to prove itself. It doesn't work. It must be mandated.
