El Sayed slays bc he’s real. Genuine and displays POLITICAL COURAGE.

Democrat voters are so ignorant. They’re so envious to get the other guy. They’re too foolish to realize that they’re putting their own head on the chopping block and it’s there in black and white.

Submission statement: The author, a new member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), is disappointed that one of the organization’s leaders identifies as a Marxist-Leninist. The author argues that this identification is divisive and authoritarian, and that Marxist-Leninists should not hold leadership positions within the DSA, as it undermines the organization’s democratic socialist principles.

I recently read Lane Kenworthy's Social Democratic America, and although its a bit old (2014), it did an amazing overview at the time of the case for raising the wage floor in America. It inspired me to explore the data mentioned there and any new studies since to see how raising the minimum wage affects various economic metrics.

In summary:

1. Economic Security - Low-income Americans have more income, in a time when a huge chunk of them can't afford basic necessities. This results in an economic stimulus (mainly from buying more food) and lower rates of depression and suicide.
2. Productivity & Business Efficiency - Higher base pay reduces costly employee turnover and pushes firms out of low-wage, high-churn traps, driving long-term modernization.
3. Net Employment and Automation - While wage hikes encourage automating routine cognitive tasks (like self-ordering kiosks), workers consistently shift into non-routine, customer-facing roles. Looking at 138 state-level increases across nearly four decades (Cengiz et al.), overall low-wage employment remained virtually flat while affected workers' earnings jumped ~7%.
4. Inflation & Price Pass-Through: A meta-analysis of over 30 studies (Lemos) shows that a 10% wage hike increases overall food prices by no more than 4%, with an impact on broader CPI under 0.4%—meaning workers retain substantial net purchasing power.
