re: President* Biden: It’s long past time we raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour!

wait... someone reported that Biden crawfished this; because small business getting back up on their feet after covid would be devastated with this...

I never understood why they chose to double it. Past MW raises were marginal like 1 dollar or less.

They would likely have better luck pushing for 9 dollars

I thought "they" hated when a president tweets.

Raising min wage to $15 an hr from $7.5 in Louisiana? All career oriented just took a $7.5 paycut because your employer ain’t gonna give you a $7.5 raise.

See ya local restaurant industry

There is simply no reason to think that the minimum wage in California or NY should be the same as Louisiana or South Dakota

You can view politics the same way.

It is equally insane to thing that someone in North Dakota and someone in south Louisiana share the same local political views. So why do we all keep voting for an initial of a federal party in every local and state election without a single thought about the man in front of the initial?

Class warfare with a racist facade whatever the trigger is

Has he ever seen this?

I disagree with your premise. Is your claim that local politics don't affect who runs for office or that those politicians don't represent those local issues when they get to washington? I don't think either of those is correct in general. Further, you can say that local issues in ND and LA are different, but that voters in those two states are aligned on national issues like regulation of markets, immigration, national defense, judges, etc. In that case, it would not be surprising at all that people with different political views at the micro level would have similar views at the macro level.
