16 years ago today Congress raised the minimum wage to $7.25. And as corporate profits have skyrocketed, executive pay has exploded, & the cost of living has soared—the min wage is still $7.25.

Here are 6 truths everyone should know about our corrupt wage system.

Using time to understand the scale of billions vs millions:

1 thousand seconds is ~17 minutes

1 million seconds is ~12 days

100 million seconds is ~3 years

1 billion seconds is ~32 years

100 billions seconds is ~3,200 years

342 billion seconds (Elon Musk's net worth) is ~11,000 years

If every state with a Republican governor gerrymanders their state to remove all Dem districts - they could gain 54 seats in the house.

If every state with a Democratic governor does the same to the Rep districts - they could gain 81 seats in the house.

The new total would be 242 D - 193 R
Exactly as I predicted, many Repub congresspeople are BEGGING BLUE STATES to not gerrymander them into oblivion

See what happens when you use LEVERAGE instead of the same old stuff that got us here?

My message to them: keep begging

Your felon started this, WE WILL FINISH IT

I’m not a Newsom fan at all, but I gotta give him props for understanding the current situation and throwing away unilateral disarmament.

If they’re gonna further gerrymander Texas mid-cycle, let’s gerrymander the fuck out of every blue state. You don’t beat fascism with niceties.
