15+ minimum wage is a great start, but let’s not forget that to afford a modest, one-bedroom apartment anywhere in America the average person has to make 22$ an hour. I would also suggest some sort of cap on rent prices, I know that isn’t a popular one, but rent is out of control.
We have landlords out where I live charging 1,300$ with nothing included for apartments that are not luxury units, all on top of rejecting your application if you have bad credit, or a pet over 15pounds. It’s getting harder for low-income people to find places to live.
I’m talking one-bedroom apartments going over 1,000$ a month in low-income areas. Raising the minimum wage doesn’t help if the landlords can just raise their rent prices, so yeah, I’m for some kind of cap on rental units in certain areas.
15+ AND you can’t raise the rent on your tenants just because they make a little more money now because that’s bullllsshiiitt.
the day is literally not even over and i got something else to add:
The Mary Sue publishes an interview with Dwayne Johnson claiming that he thinks “snowflake culture” is “taking us backwards,” The Rock responds on Instagram claiming that the interview was completely fabricated.
Imagine hating trans men so much that you read the history of someone who presented as a man for so long that most people only discovered he was ~biologically female~ after his fucking autopsy and be like “well clearly he was just gender fluid” I’m fucking
he specifically asked to be buried in the clothes he died in!!!!! we only know he was trans bc someone disrespected his direct wishes after his death!!!!!!
