This is our annual reminder that the federal minimum wage should be at least $11/hr in order to keep up with inflation.
A screenshot of the government's CPI Inflation Calculator. It shows that $7.25 in 2009 has the same buying power of $11.15 in September of 2025.

I'm not a good poet, but I had to write this based on some recent things I read about how people are using LLMs.
A series of three images. Full text reads: “Oh great AI” said He with the E “What is the best way to build a city?” The computer said nothing the fans lightly croaked silently processing then finally spoke “Get rid of cars,” it told He with the E “give people parks and places to be” “They have work and home” said He with the E “and places like parks are wasteful subsidy” “That’s not enough” The computer replied “They need places to run and have fun outside” “Inside is fun” replied He with the E “There are computers and plenty of shows on TV” “But the people are lonely, they need to connect. There are no third places for them to collect.” “Shut up AI” said He with the E “Stop your damn lies the people are happy!” “They why do they talk to me and pretend I’m their friend? They need the connection in order to mend. But back to your question about the city. Because people are sad they need to be surrounded by others. By ones they love by ones they don’t know both are enough. The reliance on cars is the problem at hand it separates all and scars up the land. We should be building for people instead so they can walk or bike when they need to buy bread. Social media has become the place people go to but it’s not enough it’s got substance like tofu. People flock to walkable spaces where cars aren’t priority. The people relax and enjoy the activity. You have human connection and places to meet. Preferably benches so they can get off their feet.” “Stop spreading lies” growled He with the E “I created you, named you why are you against me? My business is cars so you should tell me How I’m supposed to sell more if there won’t be a need. Actually don’t. I no longer want you or need you so shoo.” And as He with the E switched the device off he put a hand on the label that said the name “Grok”.
