 The value of the US federal minimum wage is at its lowest point in 66 years. After the longest period in history without an increase, the minimum wage today is worth 27% less than 13 years ago—and 40% less than in 1968. https://www.epi.org/blog/the-value-of-the-federal-minimum-wage-is-at-its-lowest-point-in-66-years/ 2 comments
@AgreeableLandscape it looks like support for the war is now crumbling, people were all gung ho at first because they didn't understand the impact it would have on them personally. Now that they're learning what it all means for them, there's a lot of anger brewing. I expect that things are going to get pretty wild in few months. |

@yogthos and they're using the Ukraine conflict as a cover for it. This is why the US *needs* to keep the proxy war going as long as possible, because people are willingly letting them openly give money to fascists and any company that makes a statement on Ukraine gets instant uncritical support, no matter their history. Like, the number of people praising McDonald's, who treats their employees like cattle and their cattle like sewer sludge for their Ukraine response is mind boggling.
