minus-squarelittletranspunklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down2·8 months agoSo we should raise the federal minimum wage so that so-called 1% of people can’t be ignored like you’re trying to do. This is how our argument has looked to me: You: “well the average is fine” Me: “well the average doesn’t help those at the bottom” You: “well they don’t matter to the average” Your arguments need a lot more work. You just seem soulless with the points you’re trying to make.
