Groceries have gotten crazy expensive.

I guess that's due to the minimum raise hike.🤔 Businesses are raising prices to compensate which means less for lower and middle class. We're the ones who pay for it. I don't know what raising federal minimum wage even accomplishes.

The last time the national minimum wage was raised, the year was 2009.

You're paying more for your groceries, not because grocery workers are getting a higher pay. It's because gas is higher, and farming supplies cost more.

As to why raise the federal minimum wage? Would you like to work forever without a pay raise?
