And yeah, $15 is still too low. 4 years is still too long. But there are still 18M people who make less than $10 an hour and increase the wealth of people at the poverty line by like $20B. Not gonna complain too much on this one.
Absolutely not wtf
Working as a bartender or as wait staff is legitimately like the only way for someone who doesn't have a full college education, in a field that is hiring, to make a decent living.
If we want to raise the minimum wage to like $25-30 an hour, then yes, but till then all this would do is send a shit ton of people below the poverty line.
Yeah, abolish the "tipped wage" but tipping needs to be abolished as a social practice down the line (it sucks) rather than legislated clumsily
We also literally need socialism for the vast majority of working class people to have a comfortable life. Otherwise it’s just figuring out how to best divide the table scraps.
