@Strandjunker How did someone manage to invent a "federal minimum wage" and at the same time fail to index link it in the obvious way? Were they deliberately setting it up to fail?

@TimWardCam@c.If they could get away with it there wouldn't even be a minimum wage just flat out slavery where workers live on the job sites.But who knows what's coming if they get their greed king back in there. |
@TimWardCam @Strandjunker there would likely be pushback by the obvious suspects to indexing to inflation, but I think it'd be great to index it to congressional pay (or perhaps congressional staff pay). So many of the ones who'd object to it rising automatically would also *never* consider turning down a raise for themselves.
