Are they alive?
So, what’s it going to be? Are employers going to pay more taxes to the Democrats so they can go out and waste the money on buying votes to stay in power, or are the employers going to get tax breaks which they can pass on to their employees increased wages?
McDonald employees already make more than daycare workers.
And how much will it be when the babysitter has to be paid $65.45 per hour?
If the minimum wage is doubled then everyones pay must be doubled, including Social Security, all government employees, military active, retired, and reserves. What will that do to the deficit? It will result in hyper inflation like Zimbabwe where a pocket full of Trillion Dollar bills won’t even be enough to fill up your gas tank.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation should be ashamed of this report. The people who wrote this have absolutely no clue about economics or the real world.
Oh, and BTW, the push for $15/hour contributes to the current train-wreck of inflation, much less $35/hour.
I think it was Jordan Peterson that simply pointed out that if corporations could get away paying women 25% (or whatever number they are claiming this week less); they’d hire nothing but women.
“Researchers said that about $3,000 more per student, per year is needed to support achievement of national average test scores.”ss
The NEA, in their infinite (lack of) wisdom has two solutions:
1) Lower testing standards
if that does not work,
2) Eliminate the tests
There, fixed.
Ain’t it wunnerful what an eddikashun degree kan doo?

Has education improved?
Fire them, fire all of them!
Best graph I could find says that as of March 2022 there was about $2.3T worth of U.S. currency in circulation.
80% of that currency has been printed in the past two years.
That is THE reason money isn’t worth chit and everything keeps going up.
It isn’t an accident.
The communist mean to destroy America, and it doesn’t look like anyone is going to say a chit.
I guess that means the TWO MILLION illegals that will come here in JUST THIS YEAR will all be starving in the streets before too long…
I recall el Rushbo saying if $15 was good why not $50 or $100 per hour...I mean, let’s really get folks out of poverty.
Women are paid exactly the same at my work
US workers are in general the best paid workers in the world.
I wonder, how can workers in other countries live?
Some living on $500 a year!
Wage - Price controls are coming.
