​"We need an economy that reflects the realities of 2026, not one stuck over a decade ago," said the newly sworn-in Rep. Analilia Mejía, who helped lead the campaign to raise wages in her home state of New Jersey.

      It’s putting a bandaid on a life threatening wound. The minimum wage needs raised, but that won’t help anything long term.

        Perfection is the enemy of good, or in this case progress.

        There will be no single piece of legislation to fix everything. There will be lots and this is one.

          The enemy of cures is symptom relief.

          No single Representative FPtP Elector will fix the distance from civilian emancipation of capitalist slavery.

          They’ll cut your hours, like they did in Covid, instead of paying you a living wage. Thus you’ll still be forced to work for multiple slavers.
