Democrats Introduce Bill To More Than Triple The Minimum Wage

What's upjohn?

Damn this is an amazing idea.
They would just stop increasing their comp and accept more
bribesdonations. -
Pin it to congressional compensation.

A livable wage is now considered a far left issue? Jesus christ things have gotten bad.
According to the far right, it's a far left issue. According to everyone else, it's a center to center-right issue. There is no far-left in the US.

Similar to updawg I’d assume.

This is garbage. It appeals to a far left constituency while alienating the moderate left people who are just trying to make their small businesses work. There has got to be a compromise line between these two groups. This is not how you win elections.
If your small business fails because you can't pay you employees enough to live off of, that's a problem with your business model. The problem with small businesses is that the people starting them have no idea what they're doing.

So according to this there is absolutely nothing the Dems can do right now that would make you happy.
A rational adult doesn’t get to be happy in 2026.

When they know it won't pass, they go big. Honestly they should have gone bigger.
I hope they prove me wrong, but you won't see me holding my breath.
They know it won't pass, but they're positioning themselves to run on "affordability". Of course, if they win, they'll "try" to pass a similar bill, but it'll get watered down to "increase minimum wage to $9.50 per hour by 2035" or similar bullshit.

Sounds about right.

Cleansing itself from corporate corruption and zionism would be a good start.
-
They pinned it to median income.
Tying it to the mean would be better. When the top 10% of earners are doing 50% of the spending, the median is useless.
-
That thing that's already gone up in the last 16+ years without the minimum wage doing up once?
Multiple things can cause inflation. And inflation can raise more or less.
It's not a binary thing.

Lifting millions out of poverty wages isn't "masturbation". Wealth inequality can be traced to several problems within the country, and can be directly linked to several factors leading to the election of Trump.
It's never going to happen... not even if we had a Democrat president.

I hold no faith in the political process, so I'd be inclined to agree. The only way to ensure a living wage is to organize a union. We can't wait for crumbs from the ruling class.

Nothing they would actually do. Correct.

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.

Drop all support for Iran war, pivot fundraising mechanisms away from Israeli influence, use bully pulpits and media to keep Epstein in the news cycle, direct more national funds to local DSA candidates, rotate gerontocracy out of party leadership, etc...
I don't really mind them doing stuff like this too, though.
-
It will definitely increase inflation.
Absolutely, but so does everything else.
-

a DNC candidate would likely be someone like newsom, they will never budge on israel, and taxing billionaires, or healthcare.

now you know both gop/goplite-dnc colludes with each other, they know beforehand which they will pass and which will not pass.
