    Federal minimum wage and state minimum wage are mostly vastly different. Feel free to fact check.

    I do not disagree with your underlying point, but at least be accurate.

      State minimum wage is also lower than the Federal in a few states and most states for tipped workers.

      So you lose me with this weak defense. Biden deserves every bit of criticism his administration receives for their inaction on wages.

        I forgot that the President has full control of the Senate. Your issue is with Sinema or even the people of Arizona if you’re as eager to find simple and idiotic places to point blame as you seem.

          Sinema’s a Democrat.

          I’m not sure why you shouldn’t conclude that it’s Democrats standing in the way.

        I am not here defending Biden or to pick a fight. Just pointing things out. Minimum wage where I live is at least double the federal. Unsure about tipped workers. Many states are higher. Maybe “mostly” was the wrong word to choose. Last I remember two states were lower; Mississippi and South Dakota.

        And they still have to pay at least federal minimum wage, to tipped workers, and all other workers in those states.

        It’s a shit deal with the federal minimum being abysmal. But pulling politics into it and misrepresenting by omission, the facts, isnt exactly helping things
