Mark my words, we will have some republitards pitching shat like this once the bottom falls out of the economy.

These bastards will promise anything to earn a bunk in the bunker.

50 ? Seriously , why not 200 ? 200 is much better, big mac meal in at 352.00 for the win. Retards

These are our "betters"... people who couldn't argue their way out of a wet paper bag. This is some late Roman Empire stuff, which is appropriate because most of the culture at this point is also some late Roman Empire stuff.

Western Civilization, for all of its warts and flaws, was the single greatest development in human history... and in basically 4 generations humanity have managed to squander it. Our species managed to crawl out from the caves and develop a social paradigm that created the most prosperous and FREE environment to cultivate human flourishing, and within less than 200 years "we" have managed to trample it under foot, for some sado-masochistic reason. For some reason, our species insists on reverting to poverty and warfare.

Maybe our betters are right... maybe we aren't worth salvaging.

Why stop at $50? They should propose a $10000 minimum wage. That way we can all live like kings.

100 grand a year for any job? That might even convince people to move back to California.

I wish they would do this so we could end the argument once and for all.

Democracy is a failure. In so many races, all we have are the worst of the worst. The sh!t rises to the top. It's like good choices aren't even allowed.

In the California US Senate primary, we have 4 main choices (that have been pushed by the media, and who were allowed to participate in "debates"). All are terrible. There is one Republican, Steve Garvey, a former baseball player, who the establishment would love. He would be like Susan Collins or Lisa Murkowski. Adam Schiff couldn't be a worse choice. Barbara Lee from the OP? Lol. Katie Porter? Another idiot Marxist.

We've never tried actual democracy. All we've had is a limited suffrage, then universal suffrage system of representative-based republicanism.
So, we can blame parties, and we can blame representative government, but I don't think we can blame democracy.

I'd prefer to live under almost any other system of governance than a pure democracy.

 

[oyarde]

Form of actual govt will no longer matter if everyone is using only currency of no value. Peasants will be screwed

I am very far from confident it would work well, also. But is what we have superior?
Attempts to answer that are mere speculation...

 

[acptulsa]

But is what we have superior?

It was when we stood by it and fired anyone who didn't obey it.

I never liked the argument that raising the minimum wage caused inflation. The Fed causes inflation. The wages raise to match it. Arguing that raising the minimum wage a buck or two causes inflation takes the attention off the Fed, makes the Democrats look charitable, and conservatives/libertarians look like grumps.

But that was back when the radicals stayed in Berkeley and other areas. People like AOC usually didn't rise above school boards or city council. $50 an hour on a national level? We are nearing peak clown world.That will surpass the Fed's destructive power.

Another thing about the minimum wage... Univeristy academics pretend to be on the side of the poor when they themselves profit the most off of the poor. Universities love the minimum wage and helped to get rid of apprentice wages/on the job training. Now instead of getting paid while you learn a trade, students go into debt, PAYING schools to WORK FOR FREE as slaves interns.
