"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.
The absolute arrogance of thinking that your experience is “the real world”. Serious protagonist syndrome. And no, there’s no truth to what you stated.
? You think someone is just going to choose to be a roofer in July over being a cashier st Walmart?
This is what im saying. You guys are severely misunderstanding the real world.
I would wager that none of you have ever worked construction or any hard jobs that actually create what you use to live. Your apartment ? Built by construction workers. You think that building would have just appeared out of the goodwill of volunteer construction workers ? Fuck no. Sure some people volunteer but its a very very very small minority.

OK genius, explain how. Explain how a roofer working 60 hrs a week in July deserves the same level of pay as a checker at Walmart.
That is it.
Because the work needs to get done.
Also, nobody said anything about “the same level of pay”, you through this tantrum just at the idea that they would make “more than they deserve”
