Great news, and not trying to shit on a win, but it obviously isn’t enough. Yes, it’s better, but nobody can support a full family, house, and vehicle by themselves on that.
2/3 of the US states still hold to the federal, a measly $7 an hour, so this feels pretty huge to me. It’s definitely just a start, but a good one.
