They have so much wealth it's hard to visualise how much they have.

Eh, buying a president as your personal bitch and jumping around on stage with him in an undersized t-shirt with your belly sticking out like a brain damaged orangatan is a pretty good visualization of how disgusting this much money is.

but all the alpha sigma dunno what males think they can be the next elon musk and start their own diddy thing.

Probably not, TBH. It's probably about social order; they likely believe that there should be a specific order and set of rules in society, and that somehow billionaires 'deserve' what they have, and that it's 'right'. "The way it is is the way it should be." They likely also have regressive views about the position women should hold in society, LGBTQ+ rights, etc., for the same reasons. It's a fundamentally conservative thought process.

The US minimum wage hasn't changed in TEN YEARS?! You guys need to revolt, that is awful.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

10 years... how refreshingly optimistic...

In 2007, Congress passed the increase to 7.25 to take effect in 2009. The minimum wage change 15 years ago was passed 17 years ago.

I wonder how hoarders of wealth will be thought of in the distant future. If we survive, I hope they are seen as fools with misguided goals, and criminals for being vacuums of human potential.

People should be contributing ideas, creativity and wisdom instead of worrying about their next meal.

To be fair, many states and cities have their own minimum wages higher than the federal minimum. I'll let you guess which states don't.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 hour ago

50 states makes this game too difficult. Can we just guess colors instead?

I live in a red state with an $11/hr minimum wage. We got that by amending the constitution, thereby overriding the legislature which was opposed to the increase. Unfortunately $11/hr is not even close to enough to live on here so apparently it's time to raise it via another constitutional amendment. Sigh

Gotta double it to catch up, and pin it to inflation at the same time so it stops falling behind.

Surprisingly, Florida has a higher minimum wage--nearly double that of the federal minimum, and will reach $15 in 2026. Of course, you can't survive on that working 40 hours a week.

The ones where the people are most afraid of communism and think minimum wage is socialism?

For anyone about to downvote - it's a quote from Inglorious Basterds ^

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

It’s an older quote, sir, but it checks out.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 hours ago

We should be way past taxing at this point.
