    I’d wager my savings that most of those are second and third jobs, because it’s become impossible to live with just one in the United States of America.

    I’ve wondered this as well - and wondered if Biden ever really grokked what’s happening. Hopefully others do and they follow through once they win (if they do).

      I don’t think anyone at the federal does. If they do, they simply don’t care, judging by their actions.

      We’re about to hit 20 years of the minimum wage being $7 at the federal level, across three administrations, two of which were Democratic with control of Congress. I expect more of the same no matter who we elect in the fall.
