Fight for $15; WE GOT IT….and so much more. Activism works.

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Over the weekend my uncle ordered some chicken at the drive through as well as apple cobbler for dessert he got mashed potatoes and gravey instead of the cobbler. That is the type of service that deserves $15.00 dollars an hour.

"Gravey" will kill you! Don't you mean "gravy"?

Did you know you can calculate the speed of the vehicle by using the hang time of the protester?

We should probably give the OP a break.

Sounds like an enthusiastic young kid.

Nope! Just a liberal idiot.

WTF does that have to do with this thread?

Go play with your toy boats.

Just a reminder to everyone who mocked us when we demanded “Fight for $15” a few years back. Yall said it would never happen. Welp….now $15/hour is almost not even enough to get workers. Companies are GLADLY paying it. I see lowest level jobs, fast food, gas stations, etc, offering $17-$20/hour.

Activism works. Blocking roads GETS ATTENTION. It worked, and it will work on the next issues taken up.

Have you noticed inflation lately?

It rose because we fought for it. Had everyone just stayed silent we would still have this Putin inflation but jobs would be paying $7.15-$8 an hour.

But we didnt. We blocked roads. We made people notice, even if it had to become uncomfortable. We, yes, WENT AROUND Congress and got it done on our own with protest. And it worked.

Too bad a car didn't hit you.

There’d be no inflation if Mr. Businessman didn’t have to pay workers so damn much!

Or anything at all.

Nope! Just a liberal idiot.

The Democrats don't know what to make of us yet. They're floating stalking horses to see if we bite (just like they always do, when they're confused or mystified).

The answer to this one is, minimum wage is an insufficient excuse for a riot.

Our resident forum members do that too, they float stalking horses like accusing libertarians of being Trump lovers.

Meanwhile, higher wages are stoking inflation which is outpacing the increased wages. So, at $15 per hour, they are further behind than they were before. Good job!
