    Gigantic mothefucking emphasis on short term.

    Our piece of shit, bought and paid for politicians LOVE to pull the “we’re fighting to raise the minimum wage from X to Y!” but only over such a long timeline that the value of Y equals what X was… God forbid the Job Creators™©® have to ever actually pay more.

      Agreed, but getting an increase in minimum wage would get the ball rolling on other worker right reforms.
