This is a good example of how people can’t think through basic economics, which involves considering more than one variable at a time.
▪️Minimum wage was raised in lots of places. Most cities have raised their min wage considerably in the past decade, CA recently instituted $20/hr, etc. Not raising the Federal min wage ≠ minimum wage not rising.
▪️Food prices are a result of many inputs, the min wage being just one (probably small) component. Transportation, energy, regulations, commodity prices, etc. also factor in. Oh, and the supply of money (i.e. inflation) is the rather large elephant in the room here.
It’s just so wild to see these movements see saw, it feels like just yesterday that conservatives were boycotting Disney and the left was gloating.
Just incredible. After posting a meme blaming Charlie Kirk for his own murder, they post another a few hours later applauding Democrats for their civility.
Also, if you look at the Occupy Democrats timeline, their posts “denouncing political violence” were variations on “no one should be shot…BUT here’s a quote from Kirk showing he’s a terrible person.” Or sometimes they’d leave the first part out altogether and just attack him. There are no posts denouncing violence without qualifiers trying to gin up their base.
