They can’t pass it. They don’t have majority. Now watch as they win midterms and this gets forgotten completely.
I mean, why not introduce this bill during any of the 4 years Biden was in office? Because it would’ve been actual policy, and they don’t want that. This is political virtue signaling and nothing more.
Now watch as they win midterms and this gets forgotten completely.
“We can’t pass it. We don’t have supermajority.”
They get supermajority.
“We can’t pass it. We don’t have the presidency”
They win presidential elections.
“We can’t just pass it. It has to be bipartisan or it’s bad for democracy”
They lose midterms.
I’m far more interested in a wage cap. Top level earner can’t earn more than 10x the lowest level earner in the company. And a it doesn’t matter the amount the wage is, if it isn’t also tied to inflation as we’ll be back fighting this fight again in short order if it isn’t. That of course is take all of this at face value, and pretending it’s not just theater.
Though overall I would still prefer people rejecting the current business structures and making employee-owned businesses the new way. Go Pirate with the whole thing, everybody works for shares. Unions/Min. Wage are just compromises from realizing the true potential and pay of the working class.
the “the 1%” meme is really anti-class consciousness, rich workers are workers, this individual literally forgot investors exist
