Is Maine the state that doesn't actually have any trans athletes, but stood on principal? Hard to keep it all straight.
For anyone that isn't aware of the 50501 protests (like I wasn't), it's nothing to do with Webster county Iowa, zip code 50501. It's 50 protests, 50 states, 1 movement.
You're right about how many states have minimum wage either explicitly set to 7.25 or lower, or tracking the federal minimum wage (including Georgia, with a state minimum wage of 5.50). I assumed there were fewer of those states, because the number of workers that are being paid the minimum wage (or lower) is 1.1% and dropping.
I guess the question I was trying to allude to is: with fewer and fewer people being paid the minimum wage, and with such enormous disparity between cost of living within a state let alone between states, does it really matter that the federal minimum wage is below the poverty line? There are places in the US where you can live decently on 7.25/hr, and there are places where you would feel squeezed even at 40/hr. National metrics like this one are interesting but not really representative
Boy, fuck Idaho apparently
I mean to be fair to the framers, we've also changed everything about how we elect the president since their time
Not sure how much we can trust "US says" right now
