it’s all about buying power

and deflating how much buying power your savings represent by diluting the dollar

a stealth tax that confiscates your buying power (ie: wealth) without receiving a dollar from you.

you may have more dollars... but less buying power. that’s how they’re playing this game

“I see your hundred and raise you a billion gazillion cagillion!”

We all see your attempt at absurdity, your point would be much more effective if you used much more realistic numbers like “one hundred and eleventy billion”


LOL

Chucky makes everything up, why not his own crazy numbers. And we usually have the elventy-seven as the maximum absurdness.

It’s already well over $7.25 in many places.

The mw in San Francisco and Santa Fe is well over $10 an hour.

When Gillibrand was talking, were Schumer’s lips moving? Did he drink a glass of water? Schumer has surely gotten better at this.

What wonderful timing. Businesses are cutting back. Let’s drive the stake in!

Yes, the $10+ mw in SFran - their Subway restaurants do not participate in the $5 footlong promotion.

I love the part where WW says, let’s get Haiti to raise their minimum wage and eliminate their poverty.
