@tusk81 and in those 15 years the #fightfor15 has turned into an at least $20 minimum wage need due to inflation and rising cost of living.
In America, not only is our inequality a factor of the horrific disparity in wealth of the Epsteinites and the working class, but also of first world elite privileges and the third world standards they expect us plebs to survive under.

Norman Macleod, speaking with the weight of a church moderator, cites a witness who spent eleven years inside American slavery and found it sinful every time—an unhealed wound, cursing both enslaved and enslaver.
Today we bristle less at the injustice than at its exposure. So ask yourself: who bears the hidden cost of the services that carry you along?

Albert Barnes, a Presbyterian commentator, points to Job 31 and says, calmly but pointedly: if I’d ignored the poor, made a widow cry, or eaten while the fatherless went unheard, I’d deserve to lose my arm. Job lists mercy as evidence he’s not being punished.
Today, would that kind of emphasis earn rebuke? How do you keep such duties from slipping quietly away?

William Bates was an evangelical, Presbyterian minister. Here he talks of love, and says Christians should have fervent charity amongst ourselves. There are human and spiritual ties.
Some would insist that “Christianity” should win every Culture War controversy based on its prevalence, but then clam up the wallets when there are needs from beyond the immediate sect. Ex: Syrian, Iranian Christians.
How can you have fervent Charity?

EXPLAINED: Our rigged economy that transfers our income and wealth to the few on the top.
The wealth & income of the rich grows faster than the American economic pie. The rigged behavior is the formula to indentured servitude for the rest of us.

Civil servants under attack. Public services at risk. Higher drug costs for families. Executive actions like these are why workers and unions must unite now more than ever. https://buff.ly/40Mkwty

Henry Melvill preaches: “Christianity: the Guardian of Human Life.” Ancient monarchs cared not to erect hospitals for all. Christianity did this: these are the trophies of Christianity.
Today, are hospitals viewed as the trophies of Christianity, or idols of stately power? Do we yawn at the destruction of hospitals? Is being a “brother’s keeper” so passé?
How can you act as if the sick and aged were to have a sacredness of human life?

$15 minimum wage proposal won’t make 2024 ballot, as Michigan Supreme Court denies appeal
A ruling by the Michigan Supreme Court will prevent a petition effort to raise Michigan’s minimum wage to $15 an hour from appearing on the 2024 ballot.
In an order released Friday, the court said it was “not persuaded that it should grant the requested relief” to set aside a deadlocked decision by the Michigan Board of State Canvassers, which is made up of two Democrats and two Republicans and requires a majority vote for passage.
In a concurring opinion, Justice Brian Zahra said the court would not “second guess” the state canvassing process.

https://prorevnews.blogspot.com/2023/07/accounting-for-inflation-minimum-wage.html The minimum wage has been stuck at an unlivable $7.25 an hour under three presidents. Adjusting for inflation, today’s minimum wage is now worth less than at any point since 1956. Nearly a third of the workforce, or 52 million people, earn less than $15 an hour, including 47% of Black workers, 46% of Hispanic workers, 20% of Asian American and Indigenous workers, 40% of working women and 50% of working women of color #fightfor15

"The most Progressive Administration in HISTORY!!!!"
Outside of a measly $1,400 stimulus check that was supposed to be $2,000, three months of a meager Child Tax Credit that has been eaten up tenfold by corporate inflation, an "infrastructure" bill that only subsidizes private investment but leaves public infrastructure to rot, and a "climate change" law that gives more money to Frackers and fossil fuel burners than to even EV's?
And don't even get me started on COVID or #FightFor15.

I mean, it’s a drag, and we’re all busy, but there’s going to need to be some kind of revolution.

The #FightFor15 movement should increase the number by annual inflation.
They should do it while looking directly at the jackholes on the other side of the argument. Don't break eye contact, just sharpie over the old number and scrawl the new one on in barely legible block numbers.

I would love to hear MBA professors chime in on this, but I know they'd likely talk (type) out of both sides of their mouths (hands).
If your business model relies on overpaying management, and underpaying line employees, YOU HAVE A BAD BUSINESS MODEL.

Nova Scotia Federation of Labour welcomes Minimum Wage Review Committee recommendation of $15/hour on October 1st 2023, but says:
“Our Federation will continue to fight for a higher minimum wage and a living wage because we know that increasing the minimum wage benefits the working poor, not just those working for the minimum wage.”
