Just wait and see what happens to wages when Trump deports undocumented workers and limits migration. Demand will far exceed supply and drive wages up.
The story of the Michigan Dems selling out workers brings readers to a reform that citizens of Michigan can enact themselves. An issue of changing the state legislature from the current 2 House body to a unicameral (one chamber) made up of the current number of members of the state House and the state Senate elected for staggered 4 year terms! This would result in smaller districts, closer to the people and more accountable and transparent to media and constituents. It would cost less to campaign and would even save tax money!
When the fallout of the next administrations deportation practices and the emergence of the consequences of an ineffective Health and Human services dept., I'm afraid tips won't be an issue, as there won't be a whole lot of tipping, or eating out for that matter, for quite some time. There will be a lot of job loss, though.
We need new representation in the Democratic party at the state AND federal level. People who will actually do their job as representatives and not as those looking to enrich themselves. If that's what they want, they should pick another career path. As registered republicans, they should look for the same in their reps.
I am for one profoundly disappointed in the Democratic Party who seems more and more a collection of Blue dog Dems who care nothing at all about workers while just like Republicans, they seek to satisfy their donors above all.
I guess, those Dems still have not figured out how they could possibly have lost to Felon Dump, so perhaps we should tell them why:
Dems, you betrayed blue collar workers. You called them "the uneducated", or the "Low Education voter", or like Hillary Clinton made remarks like: "Who else are they going to vote for?"
Well, now you know. they told you:
They are sick and tired of being on a constant austerity budget while they are seeing corrupt billionaires escape even a slap on the wrist when they misbehave "bigly".
A career in politics, these days is only a means of getting rich, taking bribes from a barely hidden pay to play stratagem: Look at every Congressman and woman: their wealth has doubled and tripled since they've been in Congress. Look at them all: They are like pigs at the trough:
Thank you for avoiding the GOP glitter-ball of scare tactics and disinformation and giving us information that is valuable. I didn't realize MI wasn't a trifecta state, and to see the Dem state legislators take away benefits--willingly, and without a fight-- that voters had previously approved of is appalling. It is difficult enough for progressive legislation to get passed by Democrats, but to see them actively work at tearing it down is one of the most depressing things I have read in a while. I wish you had given us the names of the legislators involved...I would happily donate against them in the future.
Sad that money is the overwhelming factor in all of this. The billionaires lie and get rewarded for it. I am sick of this country’s politics and the system that continually rewards rich people at the expense of the poor.
Every day I inch closer and closer to the idea of a new political party. I’m not there yet, but I don’t see how we can keep fighting these internal battles while trying to hold back the GOP.

This state of austerity has been in vigor since the "Trickle Down Economy" caper came into effect. What even George Bush called "Voo-Doo economics".

Thank you, I will post on Bluesky and highlight article to the MI folks. People need to know who is doing them a disservice.
