So, about once a week since before the 2020 election, I've been passing this sign that some Democrat nailed to a tree in his yard. It said something to the effect that Biden was going to raise the minimum wage to $15/hr and wasn't this a wonderful thing! So many people would benefit!
I just drove past this guy's house yesterday.
The sign is gone. 😂🤣😂
Given that gas is, on average, around $5.00/gal and that about a third of your paycheck goes to taxes, etc., a person would have to work 8 hours to buy 16 gallons of gas -- just enough to fill your gas tank one time. Now add in rising housing costs, rising food prices, rising utility costs, etc., etc.
The minimum wage worker was far better off under Trump, than he is with Joe's "wonderful" wage increase.
I think our Democrat friend has finally figured this out.
I think you might have misread his sentence.
Clearly though all these corporations are in on it together (Vanguard/Blackrock), since in a competitive free market, all the companies that are selling products that would be considered non-necessities - and it’s a big market - would realize that people pouring more and more money into food, gas, rent, and other bills will only reduce the amount of money people are spending on their products. They would be pulling strings and lobbying government to protect their businesses, but they aren’t.
