Note
what a devastating list of events, facts and information.
none were too surprising, but it all still just stings.
the democratic party in colorado not putting forth solutions to protect low wage workers but standing against reform on sub-minimum wages.
how strong and effective the N.R.A. (the second one apparently) is in opposing any and all measures to increase employee wages.
how pervasive the misinformation is about possible impacts on raising wages, despite many countries and states doing so with healthy results.
and lastly, how empty and populist the "no tax on tips" measure was.
