Yes I’ve tried blaming my fellow voter, tried to persuade them to raise the minimum wage for all workers and do away with the tip wage altogether
Maybe they’ll still do better than the rest of us, or maybe not, but it’ll put them in the same boat as everyone else, or at least in the same water
And yes, I’ve repeatedly talked to my one brother in manufacturing about how much he’s benefited from unions, despite being in a salaried position where he’s not directly represented
Votes don’t equate to real power. Huge amounts of money and resources, like we see everyday in the news, are what move the needle. The only counter to that is mobilized political outrage. Overwhelming numbers of people making the economy sputter until demands are met. Otherwise, we can expect more of what we have now.
But yeah, a higher min wage is a good step forward.
