Is there still hope for passage of a minimum wage increase anytime soon? Will the chatter about recent inflation make it more, or less, politically possible to pass? (I see arguments of "now it's needed more than ever" vs. "can't do it because it would add fuel to the inflation fire and make your Whopper cost $10."

The reason I made that post is the person was comparing Toobin to 2 rapists so I was assuming there was more out there I hadn't heard of beyond the initial incident, what he did was bad and sexual harassment but from the tone it seemed like there was more history that I was not aware of(which at this point I know there is he of course being an old white man has a past)

There are enough dems vehemently opposed to it that it's completely dead in the water nationally. The only way feasible way forward is for more state level minimum wages to increase.

Jeez I thought raising the minimum wage was a core issue for Democrats. Biden campaigned on it (in part) and it's in the loving party platform. Which shitass Ds would be against it?

On a related note, I had a meeting with a top member of his staff right after he got into the senate and asked the very tough question 'What are the top priorities on Senator King's agenda?' and he replied that they were just taking a wait and see approach and getting the lay of the land. Uhhh, wut?

i don't read biden saying 'go ahead' to that as any kind of sign to be optimistic. it's often a snarky response, and biden has demonstrated snark (when not outright hostility) when he disagrees with someone or something a hell of a lot of times.

Why would they forgive that much student debt when the same Senate won’t increase wages for working people during a pandemic?
