@Strandjunker Even the state with the biggest minimum wage increase since 2012 is only a 50% increase.

@Strandjunker Why all the hate for the rich? If people didn't like what they produced, they would not be rich. They pay a large portion of the collected taxes. Getting rich is the American dream, but once you get there those that aren't there yet, or have no chance to do so start hating on you. To be clear, I am not rich, I worked minimum wage once, but have now reached a decent wage, and don't hate the rich, or poor.

@Strandjunker
This comparison doesn't tell how the distribution of wealth evolved.
If so, it would list the wealth of the 3 richest people in the USA, in 2012 and in 2024 (there's surely a big gap too).

Just a casual reminder that in 1861, 11 Senators and 3 Representatives were expelled from Congress for failing to recognize Lincolnโ€™s election and supporting insurrection. โ€” If we can expel George Santos, we can expel the insurrectionists.

In 1988, the federal government banned metal-tipped lawn darts because a single child died from one.

@Strandjunker it was a Congress person's child who died as well, if gun control folks are looking for any ideas...

@Strandjunker
Great job on those lawn darts, guys!
Now about these assault rifles...

Grumble

@Strandjunker Weird coincidence, after 1988 the gun companies started contributing more money to the politicians.
