It is time for it to be raised to a decent level AND for it to be automatically raised COLA+1% every year. And for the wages of Congress to be tied to it permanently.

Poverty is ALWAYS the fault of poor governance. Usually it's because those is office bow to corpos. There are ways to combat poverty, if only officials have the spine

In 2027 Seattle's minimum wage will be $22.14 per hour. That's more than THREE TIMES the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour—a rate that hasn't been raised since 2009. And yet somehow we're not the jobless wasteland orthodox economics would predict. Weird.
Seattle announces 2027 minimum wage
The minimum wage in Seattle will increase 3.9% next year.

Forget a #LivingWage; everyone deserves a #ThrivingWage!

It's within living memory that a single salary was enough to support the nuclear family *and* splurge on the occasional luxury.

Pay a #ThrivingWage we have corporation’s CEO’s paid sums like £10,000,000 p.a. Whilst their meagre employees earn so little they qualify for Universal Credit. The tax payer pays for the UC, which in reality is paying the £10,000.0000. for the CEO.
Who’s the benefit stronger?
"No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level - I mean the wages of decent living." .. (Franklin. D. Roosevelt) ..(cartoon Nick Anderson)

substack.com/@lanceerie/n... Here’s the 🇬🇧 Sam’s Club style. The #T’escoCEOCircleModel; you pay the CEO a huge sum, and workers so low they qualify for Universal Credit a benefit - paid by tax payers so the CEO gets <£11,000,000. Who’s scr3wing the benefits system?

The 1% have us so programmed, we're not even DEMANDING a LIVING WAGE - WHEN WE SHOULD BE DEMANDING A THRIVING WAGE.

We're so brainwashed, we're willing to settle for a FEDERAL MINIMUM wage which is NOT a “living wage.”

My newest phrase re dire living standards/inflation is a #ThrivingWage - not just minumum/living,but a wage where we can eat nutritious food,keep warm,better our prospects, nurture kids in a secure home.We need a #ThrivableSociety -happy for any politician to steal this off a struggling single mum.
