The only issue I have with this article is saying employment drops during fall and winter. That was when we had our highest employment at a pizza place because more people ordered delivery. Now in the prime parts of California, winter is barely a thing so I get it. But I’m posting this from beneath multiple layers so our gas bill isn’t outrageous. I fucking hate the cold and have poor circulation. If I’m not in bed or in the shower, my toes are numb for about 4 months a year.
Another sad case of progressives winning in policy but failing in messaging.
The right ONLY focuses on messaging (what’s the last real policy win for them?) which makes them incredibly difficult to keep up with.
Oh so trickle down doesn’t work but paying employees does?? Wow. Who woulda thunk it.
So all we had to do to stimulate the economy was to give money to people that would spend it?
Instead of padding C-suite bonuses?
This is amazing. I hope the word gets out.
Can you imagine if this nightmare scenario played out nationwide?
Let’s also try the aberrant idea of giving food stamps and basic cash aid to everyone who has it, but in perpetuity. Later just expand it to everyone no matter what.
No job? You get it. Job? You get it. You don’t get it only if you opt out. And you can always opt back in.
That would be horrendous for people, ugh!
How dare you make people’s lives better? Brown and poor people might benefit too!
Yes, Federal Minimum Wage raised to $20 an hour. No exceptions for training, farm work, under 18. Then go for Medicare for All. Level the playing field for all the States and companies.
The horrors of working class people being paid a slightly less unlivable wage would be unimaginable
