i'd support the raise act, anyways.

my understanding is that it's actually built on legislation that the canadian liberal party pioneered in the 1960s, and was strongly defended by the current prime minister's father. as such, it's actually an absolutely logical corollary of lbj's "great society" program.

i'd also support - and in fact have repeatedly called for - stricter enforcement of labour standards. that's the actual solution, here. lax enforcement of labour standards is the actual problem.

and, i wouldn't mince words directed at democrats that stand up for corporate greed at the expense of the enforcement of labour standards, then try to hide behind some neo-liberal identity politics or nonsensical accusations of racism. these people are just corporate stooges. they don't care about workers, they're just cashing a check. and, they're the crux of the problem. don't fall for that bullshit - call it out for what it is. primary their ass, and get rid of them.
