    That would be a great thing but I also had another idea, why can’t a test be devised and codified into law, to tie minimum wage to. I know the main reasons why, obstructionist capitalists, but a test to find a living wage, average rent costs tied with other bill expenses and grocery costs. The companies raising costs feel free but the minimum wage will rise. Could something like this work? Tie wages and service/goods costs together to incentivize either livable/thrivable wages or lower costs. either way we need one of those two things, more buying power, or… more buying power.

    Something to stop the decages long stagnation of worker compensation.

      Of course that could work. That’s why it won’t even be considered in the current political climate.

        Of course, I do enjoy the fantasy, especially on the precipice of an election that decides my right of existence.

        The walls were to keep us in, not the other way around, after all.

          Well not only do you deserve to exist, but I am glad you exist.

          How miserable must some peoples’ lives & minds be that they need to make Kyattophobia a significant part of their political concerns and/or personality?

          In contrast, I find that being Kyattophilic enhances the life and the mind!
