Some people, as they age, learn to accept the world's injustice. Others just learn to fight harder.

Raising the minimum wage does nothing to bring back labor to the country where we see large amounts of service sector jobs we deemed as good work just a decade ago being moved overseas to areas like panama, South Africa, and Philippines.
The transportation of goods such long distances as well also causes huge pollution and cost issues with transportation costs and logistics being a nightmare to touch.
Yes I understand that a shoring up of global economics would likely cause issues but it doesn't mean I'm wrong.
Democrats are the better party for sure but the neo-liberalism and focus on imported labor and goods is absolutely directly hurting the lower class Americans. So unless we can generate a huge increase in service jobs while increasing the pay and the amount the ultra wealthy pay towards it without impacting the lower and middle classes we need to have some push to labor as a backup.
