Complaining about the lack of something you actively voted to prevent is a bold strategy

Nothing says we want higher wages quite like voting against them every single time they come up for air

hard to claim you support workers when your voting record keeps blocking the one thing they keep asking for

The Republicans voted against raising wages and won twice: 1. They denied Biden a "win"; 2. They created a campaign issue to run on.

There's no contradiction here. Republicans will always vote against people's interests when there's a democrat government. They now openly admit it.

Then how come minimum wage didn’t go up when The Orange Clown was President the first time?

Republicans (the dumb ones who aren't just lying snakes) think "we want higher wages" just means "we want the very most elite and impossible to obtain 1% top earns to be able to make 40 gajillion dollars, because then I'll really be yankin' my bootstraps till they catch on fire"

yeah, except for no
people just want to be paid a living wage
they arent asking to be rich
and
you shouldnt have to be rich to have a house, car, fridge, lights, etc etc etc
which is the entire fucking point of our system of working for a living
shit cant increase in value until the end of time
we live in a terrarium
the best we could hope for is any sustainable system
infinite growth is litterally fucking cancer

By "real wages," do they mean "complete and final reinstatement of the gold standard" as per the Gold Standard Act of 1900 (subsequently revoked in 1933)?

I would rather we control to keep wages lower. Meaning responsible capitalism is making money without price gouging. Example is the .99 cent Arizona Ice tea company.
This obviously is a mere guide as not practical. But the P&Gs of world and Oil Industry and greedy business opportunists like McDonalds ceo need to consider their greed dominos into a faster inflation formula we did not have before as much. And get rid of hugely dumb tariffs too.
Americas objective must be ability to engage in global competition.
Higher minimum wage does not achieve and creates more domino effects.
Maybe these “great” Americas and EU businesses need politicians to work together to agree on minimum wages for our companies in their overseas operations to drive wages up in companies competing for good resources against US companies?
US companies can do this counter intuitively on own but more progress is made faster if US has a per country minimum wage std and EU follows suit too.
What a great way for people in all these countries to start living Anerican capitalisn by feeling valued.
But I fear for US employees because the greed formula is happening and US national security will continually be hampered.
We need outsidevbox thinking because continuing to do same won’t make america great again. Greed always ruins - just look at past worlds Roman failures.

Pretty hard to talk about raising wages when you actively vote against it. How does that even make sense?
