re: #56 Pie-onist Overlord

The RWNJ are all obsessed with “the dignity of work” but not with adequate compensation for work.

While it may be true that some minimum wage workers may lack education (although this is not always the case), the work they do is physically exhausting.

As you’ve pointed out, they see “minimum wage” the same way they read “non-essential” during the shutdown. They have no concept of what it means. What was really funny to me was the idiot Republican representative from Tennessee who opposed the increase by saying she made 2.10 or so when she was a youngster and it was pointed out that adjusted for inflation she made over the minimum wage. Honestly, I think it’s telling that these people think that workers wanting wages of 10 dollars a hour are greedy but say nary a word about executives who give themselves six sometimes seven digit bonuses but I guess I’m just “jealous” of their success.
