Bananigans@lemmy.dbzer0.comto politics @lemmy.world•Election 2024: Kamala Harris on NBC vows to double federal minimum wage to $151·8 months agoAll good possible points, but only one person in this thread can answer what the number basis is, so who knows.
Bananigans@lemmy.dbzer0.comto politics @lemmy.world•Election 2024: Kamala Harris on NBC vows to double federal minimum wage to $152·8 months agoIf you read the comments, it’s actually not. Inflation alone doesn’t account for pinning wages near $30, so that’s not really a good explanation given that it’s nonfactual. Even if he’s considering the living wage instead of historical minimums, $30 is still about 30% higher than what an average living wage would be. Is there some other consideration he has that I’m missing? I wouldn’t know without asking due to an unfortunate lack of psychic powers.
Anyways, sorry I asked for the policy reasoning behind a policy position. It clearly offended many, I realize my mistake, and won’t bring that kind of nonsense around here again.
Bananigans@lemmy.dbzer0.comto politics @lemmy.world•Election 2024: Kamala Harris on NBC vows to double federal minimum wage to $151·8 months agoI understand your sentiment, but if that’s your policy basis, you’d be asking for $10/hr instead of $15.
Not necessarily a bad idea, I just wanted to know how that number was generated, because without that data, it’s not necessarily a good idea either.
Bananigans@lemmy.dbzer0.comto politics @lemmy.world•Election 2024: Kamala Harris on NBC vows to double federal minimum wage to $154·8 months agoWhat’s the basis for $30/hr? First time seeing that number in the wild.
Y’all really making this Reddit with less content. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can’t think of the last video I watched with ads that didn’t ask me to vote.

Because the Butler situation definitely seems more analogous to that.

His team thought it would only hurt blue states, something they could later blame the governors for. Guy literally kills people to win.

Watched the clip before hitting the comments and this is 100% accurate. Not to kink shame, but rejecting the evidence of your eyes and ears isn’t one of mine.
Got curious as to what he’s up to nowadays. Guess he died.
Nice breakdown. And I agree that the better solution would be to figure out which metric to tie minimum wage to. I don’t really think throwing out a number every few years like the original reply I was responding to suggested is helpful. But it seems wildly popular here.
