    Because life is so fucked up and bad in the usa that any meager scraps are seen as good. And the mental part? The bill won’t pass. In 2030 the minimum wage will still be 7.25.

        Peak political maneuver, promise progressive policies in 2030 and not have to deliver on them because your constituents will have died from preventable climate catastrophes.

        Definitely more likely that we end up with indentured servitude. Thanking our actual land lords for the opportunity to work in their distribution warehouses and live in barracks behind said warehouses.

      Yea people like this guy because even this weak bulkshit is infinitely more than virtually any elected poltican in the entire country.

      In the land of the one eyed fascists the liberal is king.
