I never said they didn’t deserve a higher wage but people complain about price of things. If you want living wages for all you need to be prepared to pay for it
Why can't the family of FiveGuys (all brothers) take less profit, pay their people a reasonable wage, and keep their prices reasonable for their customers?
Why have we accepted that customers have to pay more, and workers have to receive less, just so a few people can become even more obscenely rich than they already are?
If you are buying a second yacht or plane, while your workers are working multiple jobs and are on public assistance, you need to have your entire estate confiscated.
They should take less profit but that’s the broken system we’re in
If they won't do it on they're own, we'll have to force them.
Lots of people say that but with no political backing it’s not happening
Political backing is growing. At the beginning of this year, hardly anyone knew what a Democratic Socialist was, and now a third of Democrats identify that way, a third of Democrats are scared shitless, and the other third is clueless.
The movement toward Leftist Activism is growing so quickly, that both sides are scared of it. The 2026 Progressives are where the Tea Party was in 2010, and the Tea Party turned into MAGA, and took over. Now the Dems have the opportunity to do the same thing, except use their power for good.
Keeping the new ruling Dems on the right track to help the workers, and the not the Sociopathic Oligarchs, will be the mission after that.
