Bernie Sanders might have said too much, too soon; every rightist YouTuber in the country - or dittohead with a FB page - would have taken that as a sign of a coming Cuban-Venezuelan takeover of the country.
Joseph Biden, by contrast, has learned to play the poker hands like the game is poker, and the same panties-bunching opinionaters see what?
Kamala Harris, scheming.
Heh.

I have a working hypothesis that the the evolution of the human being over the last forty years into nothing but socioeconomic units has been extremely damaging spiritually and psychologically.
Humans crave meaningā¦given a lack of it, they will invent meaning in a myriad of inventive and diverse ways.

Iāve been bingeing John Gray (British thinker) books. Similar conclusion.

Harris 55%
Biden 61%
Those are the low end numbers.

Biden wonāt make it a year before Harris goes in. Nice work libs. You own these four years and the already skyrocketing gas prices are just the tip of this insane iceberg.

Wages arenāt pegged to job supply or excess labor. Wages are policy.

Meaningless.
The media sure isnāt playing those up now are they?
The media is losing the border story and getting canceled by their political benefactors.

That doesnāt explain why Trump policy finally got them to rise.
Securing the border does.
If we raised MW, the wage depression would not happen

It would get worse.
Fewer jobs that pay more and the scale above would quickly adjust.
Unions have contracted escalators should MW rise.
Tail chasing.

Playing what up? Thereās no national outfit highlighting approval numbers right now. I had to go looking, and I took the lowest range.
The more or less liberal firms (Slate, Salon, HuffPo, Mother Jones, ProPublica) are running covers on student debt, white grievance, fossil fuels, Q Anon and migration. The lefties (Counterpunch, etc) are full rhetorical artillery against Biden. The big corporate numbers (CNN, MSNBC, CBS) are showcasing covid case upticks, Bidenās border problem, the filibuster and Boulder, CO.

Zombie Moshe, where to even start with this nonsenseā¦
My union contract does not contain an escalator. I get a raise every year in April no matter what the minimum wage is.

Enforce the southern border and stop those coming in that would take lower wages. Then severely punish any business that hires an illegal alien and the wages will find the correct balance once these illegal factors are removed.

Itās a new era in union contracts. Most donāt have escalators clauses.
That link was from 8 years ago.

Think about it, when was the last major strike?

Quite a remarkable point of view given that Biden was elected as president and Harris as vice-president. Particularly, in the context that there was constant commentary that Biden was not in control of his mental faculties and would either have to resign or otherwise removed from the presidency via the 25A. If that occurred, Harris would become the president.

It isnāt new if the link is 8 years old.
They have been doing this for decades.

Biden is using what Obama showed him about delegation.
Harris takes the heat and questions.
