A pair of progressive Democrats unveiled a bill on Tuesday that would raise the federal minimum wage to $25 per hour, considered the bare minimum a single adult needs to meet the cost of living in much of the US.
The Living Wage For All Act is the first bill to be introduced by the newly sworn-in Rep. Analilia Mejía (D-NJ), who won a special election earlier this month after helping to lead the fight for a $15 minimum wage in her home state of New Jersey.

Rising tide raises all yachts. Most of us can’t afford boats, so we’re just drowned by the tide.
should have pulled yourself up by your bootstraps. /s
Too late, I already cooked and ate my boots.

Yes, because of trickle-down economics. Didn’t you know that tides come from rain???
I’ve never heard any billionaire claim that; they don’t even pretend to give a fuck. I guess “trickle down theory” is the closest I’ve ever heard.
