As Thomas Sowell pointed out, the true minimum wage is zero.

Barbara Lee is a straight-up communist, if you couldn’t tell already.

You want robots taking the jobs?
Because this is how you get robots taking the jobs.

That makes the first rung of the career ladder unreachable for most of the poorest constituents who the Leftists say they represent.
Also, I heard that many upper level union jobs are by contract paid X times minimum wage.
If true, that makes it rather self serving.

I was kinda hoping she would win over Schiff. If there's a snowball's chance in hell that Garvey can win, then my hopes are with him.
However bad Lee is, Schiff deserves to be in jail and not in the senate. Lee would end up being a crackpot who cackled on some Marxist nonsense every once and a while but be mostly ignored. Schiff could do real damage as he is somehow still considered respectable.

Democrats HATE the little people. The Republican opponent should promise $100.00 per hour!
To: E. Pluribus Unum
Lee’s proposal would make it so minimum wage workers earn $104,000 annually. Lee's proposal would make it illegal for anyone whose labor is not worth $50 per hour to work.

Years ago I used to make the argument that the minimum wage should be $50 an hour. It was supposed to be satire. Looks like I need to work for the Bee. 🤣

That too. Almost like a feature rather than a bug.
