$15 $

I saw a clip of Elizabeth Warren ( maybe our last, best hope) mention that if the constant wage freezes since the early eighties hadn't been enacted, the minimum wage would be approximately $15 per hour now.

What a wonderful world it would be! (My Satchmo is pretty good.)

Mortgages
Transportation
Food
Medical care
Clothing....

All the costs of living have increased over the last few decades. And our wages? Forever frozen in Corbonite with no Master Jedi on the horizon coming to our rescue! Hopefully the work of Warren and others like her may bring us closer to where we should be as far as salaries but much of my optimism has been crushed after the painful realization that many with seemingly good intentions (including an historical President elect) turn out to be nothing more than "politicians"with every negative connotation associated with the word.


Guess we'll have to keep our eyes open and  patiently await someone who really will break the mold. Perhaps someone with a very high Midichlorian count....

Dude is one helluva thespian, real talk.
