HOW DARE YOU GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ALREADY-BORNS, THE FREELOADING ASSHOLES DON'T DESERVE MY TAXEEEES!! REEEEEEEE!!!!
Changing the fixed dollar amount of minimum wage is only a temporary fix that guarantees another uphill struggle in the future
Minimum should be tied to cost of living changes not a specific dollar amount that has to be fought over way after minimum wage no longer meets the minimum cost of living
We're winning
BTW $30 isn't like a crazy high number for minimum wage. The current number is well below the poverty line for families everywhere in the United States, and New York has a very high cost of living. Minimum wage is explicitly intended to provide "the wages of decent living." $30 per hour might actually be too low for New York City. $61,500 a year is barely going to pay the rent in the shittiest neighborhoods. https://www.zillow.com/rental-manager/market-trends/new-york-ny/
Yeah it just sounds ridiculously high in low cost of living areas where Fox’s faithful all live.
They really do hear this as “look at this outrageous tax on small business owners” instead of “oh look a living minimum wage - that would be good for Timmy when he graduates high school next year.”

If you give your whole life of working hours to a business, the compensation should be a bare minimum of all of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
Period.

Back when it was created, it was enough for a single earner to feed and house a whole family, it should always be compared to that metric and adjusted accordingly.

I'm so happy he won :D and in such a landslide
$30 isn't jack shit in NYC.
It's currently $16.50
Yeah even on the shithole east side of Cincinnati nobody pays less than $12 and you can't live on that here. $30 isn't at all radical for NY.

I love this news! Good job you guys 👏
Hmmm.
So... baby baskets to newborns is about SIDS and keeping them alive. No Cost Childcare is about keeping them alive and well, too.
So... about them kids?
Fetuses matter, not children.
Until they're 18 then they can die for the cause!
Nah,
They're happier when they're being shot en masse in schools
Then they can wave their little compensators around screaming about how they're the real victims because people want to take their firearms away
we should normalize lego collections as dick compensation devices.
legos never hurt anybody. Well. Not seriously, and really, you shouldn't leave your legos out to be stepped on...
(edit. er. maybe we normalize k'nex. I don't want to look like I'm compensating with my lego collection. or my erector set)
As a kid, I always preferred the knex. Something about the blockiness of legos has always seems... I don't know, just boring to me. I want the long spindly plastic not-tubes that barely resemble the stick figure drawing I made of crap!
mega bloks, then? they even have the halo franchise....
Why would a newborn need baskets of babies, that is so irresponsible.
Gotta fight that declining birthrate. What better way than to dump babies into a home that you know is getting ready to care for babies?
It's green! Those babies were upcycled!

Did Mamdani pay for this victory ad?
Umm....will you be our president?
Let's see how he handles NY. Kids got promise though.
He still has to win. I feel like he will, but still gotta get there first. I half fear for his life, he is exactly the type of person not allowed to win so im sure he has a target on his back which is scary...

I thought the republicans loved babies.
Wouldn't they be all over the first two points there?
Because the single most most thing in the entire world to them is making absolutely sure at all costs that no one “bad” ever gets anything for free. Even if that means leaving whole generations of their own kind without a pot to piss in. Better that 100 deserving should starve than one degenerate get a free lunch.
No, they love slaves, which babies will become if we withhold from them the necessities of life for long enough.
The ones that live at least.
They just like occupying uteruses and vaginas. That’s why so many of them act like douches.
No, they love unborn babies. Born babies cost the money they want to steal from our taxes.
Same with “support our troops.” Once they are vets it’s time to strip them of all their benefits

But they can’t prey on or traffic unborn babies. So they still have SOME interest in the born ones.
They want those from the immigrants. Seriously, what do you think all of this immigration crap is really about? They separate the kids from the families and they are putting everyone in camps that are ran by for-profit private, concentration camp companies. So money, power and sex, what it always is
Nah they just prey on the moms instead.

I wish I could do those mental backflips, but for physics and maths.
