Minimum wage should have been $15/hr at least 10 years ago.

The GOP has used the threat of a government shutdown many times to hold this country hostage. And when it comes to remembering who's at fault for it, most of the U.S. electorate has the memory of a crack-addled ferret.

Also, it is LONG past time we got over our child-like worship of billionaires.

how do I accept I'll never know why any employer rejected me?

Usenet was awesome. A distributed, decentralized network, with thousands of forums. Until it got taken over by spam and porn and a lack of moderation.

Now we have Lemmy. Let's not mess it up.
