    $25/hr would be correct for one of the top 10 richest nations on the globe. And tax the rich!

    Still not a livable wage. Get back to us when it is, otherwise it’s election pandering.

      Though California minimum wage is tied to inflation now (since 2023) so it’d be able to be built upon without losing ground in the meantime

        They are still about $18hr off the mark. Starting with such a disparaging margin they will never have a livable wage

    I don’t know why we don’t just peg minimum wage to inflation or county cost of living metrics. Fighting over this every few years is dumb.

      Same reason why there’s a flight over the debt ceiling every few months. Hawks want the fight so they throw the economy into turmoil to get it their way.

      Since 2023, it is tied to the CPI-W in California. Other blue states are stating to do the same

      It makes pushes to raise it further like this a bit more meaningful in the long run too

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
