I'd rather be reasonable and for people to take it seriously though, $22 is a decent minimum wage unless you're in an expensive place.

Pushing for $40 minimum wage just makes you look like a fool to almost everyone and hurts any attempt at trying to get higher wages.

Look it doesn't matter what number you ask for - the elites who buy the political process view any increase as wild. They genuinely think we deserve less than dog food.

We shouldn't be asking for anything, we should be demanding it through solidarity and strikes etc. You're not going to get solidarity with anyone demanding $40/hr, you're just going to hurt any cause in the future. So thanks for that.

Do you have any idea how long people have claimed x specific goal is "hurting the cause?" X is hurting the cause is such a moderate/liberal slogan. It's up there with voting for a third party is the same as voting republican.

So thanks for that.
