Introduce a bill for Socialized Healthcare too!!!

There is a value tied to the non-salary benefits. Include that in the cap.
Something something unrealized gains. I agree with you, I'm just pessimistic we'll ever see anything remotely close to this.
-
The bill is for $25. No way it'll actually happen tho even though we desperately need it
yeah, this bill has the same chance of passing as it snowing in hell.

That is a very good point. But then how do you account for the vast difference in cost of living across the country. There is just no single right answer for everyone.
There are large differences within states also. You just have to draw a line somewhere.

Not just that but if it passed it would eat into profits. We can’t have that, think of the shareholders
Profits are already eaten up by executive bonuses and salaries.
It's regular salaries that eat into those, and that's what they're trying to protect.

Democrats have not had a filibuster-proof majority for almost 20 years.
Sometimes I think Americans don't know how democracy works. You can't blame a party for not passing stuff, if you don't give that party the power to pass stuff.

As not an american I am almost certain you don't know how a real democracy works. A two party system is not democratic and majority are not healthy long term, if you want proof look at the us and the uk more recently. Coalitions are common and more democratic the world over.

Yes there is, its above 7.40 and likely about 15 to 20. To give an example in Canada the federal min wage is $15 loonies an hour, and like your states the cost of living varies wildly between provinces and territories. To help (its a lack luster help) we do generally give tax breaks and sometimes money to the more rural areas to off set the higher cost of goods (you guys do the same in Alaska fyi). To drag out such a silly, tired and dusty line of reasoning in light of the us not being special is a choice.

This may be for show but that's more show than they were willing to show 2019-2021. Republicans were throwing out certain to fail bills constantly for at least the last 25 years. It at least throws people a marketing bone and also any that make it out of committee to a floor vote, it puts on record/something to market for/against an elected public servant. Republicans effectively steer public opinion against their own to their advantage for getting stuff passed and who they want into office. Democrats do not.
It's one way to craft a publicly recognizable party ideology that the democratic party has failed to build up these last few decades. The we're not republicans, we looks and sound more professional doesn't work. Something like this is a major improvement. If it makes it to the floor for a vote, which democrats and republicans will vote against or abstain. We should want that for potential future primary challengers and be encouraging these
its performative, the gop isnt on board with this and likely they will block it. dnc has alot of bad publicity recently, israel/gaza, inaction trump, plus ending shut downs early,,,etc.
THE gop has largely convinced thier own base that higher wages =higher prices.
they get more good publicity by raising the MEDICAID/care income cap, where you have a max income on which you can receive "
recieve free healthcare" or reapplying the covid-area susidies to the ACA. -
This is just for show and will end up going nowhere. If you think this has even a remote chance at changing the minimum wage then I have a bridge to sell you.
We live in a time where democrats do nothing but act appalled, corporations control politics, corporations keep getting bigger, consumer prices increase year after year, healthcare premiums constantly cost more and employee benefits keep getting more expensive every year. What gives you the idea corporations are going to let politicians triple minimum wage? If that happens it will have a ripple effect where higher paying job positions will want a raise because why should someone making an entry level wage be paid the same as a job position with a lot more responsibility?
most of them are gop that are not electable as a republican, so they become DINOS. schumer +13 other senators are likely the same, likewise with the house seats.
-
It should be at least $20/hr
in HCOL states is around that or slightly more or ready. it wont get passed because the gop isnt going to allow it since none of them support it.
-
Universal Healthcare definitely is achievable but it requires a lot of tax money.
Right now US total taxation level is ~30%. If you want EU style safety net on you, then expect 45-50%
It would be cheaper than the current insurance system.

Dozen of workplace burn by the workers -> even shithead thinks to raise wages
Direct action pay cash

What? Pretending like you are going to lift millions out of poverty sure is masturbatory. What road map do you envision that would allow this to happen. Do you think that they think they can pass this with a fascist regime in power? They know damn well it's just fanfare.
What road map do you envision
I envision workers using this news as an organizing tool to form unions and bargain for higher than $25/hr, regardless of whether it happens.
