    Which part of politics does this relate to? The lack of monopoly busting? The lack of increase in federal minimum wage? I’d love if the House could get off their butts and do that. And many states are taking things into their own hands.

    That said, this government has been more pro-union than any I’ve seen in my lifetime. So some people are getting help at least.

      Here in Arkansas we have to pass minimum wage increases by enshrining them in the state constitution via public referendum.

      The last time the legislature increased the minimum wage was nearly 18 years ago when they made it $6.25 /hr.

      You’re asking what part of politics does the economy relate to?

        Yep! Curious which parts they’re thinking about. There’s lot of relevant and lots of irrelevant parts.

      They aren’t pro union. They’re pro status quo. All they’re doing is enforcing the few rights unions still have. The second the chips are down we can see what they really think with strikes like the railroad.
