As it should be. Why should I, who's had a couple DECADES of experience as a Commercial driver end up being paid equal to that of a burger flipper?Why?Well, let’s see where gas prices go. Right now they are at $3.00. But we went years with gas in the $3.00 - $4.00 range, there will not be shock like we had before.People are returning to work and their lives are returning to normal.We can come back to this next year. I say the election will revolve around the economy. If prices continue to climb the (D)'s can forget about any majorities.
Granted the GOP will likely go with the loons keeping it all close.
I don’t think 2022 will have any crisis one way or the other
No wars, no economic collapse, no pandemic
Dems will run on FEAR OF TRUMP
Republicans will claim Dems are Commies
If prices continue to rise the GOP will have a great platform to run on as long as they don't run candidates that want to run on "Dems are Commies".
If prices continue to rise, they won't have to but it seems some just can't stop themselves.
I don’t think inflation alone will do it.
The stock market is at record highs, GDP is rising, millions of new jobs……..more importantly, we are returning to normal after a year of COVID
All with millions not benefitting from any of that.
It will be difficult to stir up voter rage
You can bet $4.00 gas and increased food prices will indeed do that.
Let's note that they are returning to work without the promise of an increase in the minimum wage.
Any outrage over minimum wage will be directed at Republicans
I see 2022 as a very boring midterm
Why Republicans? Everyone says there is a consensus to raise the minimum wage. Maybe not to $15 but it's up to Nancy to get that ball rolling.
So you get $12 and then argue that if you want it higher you have to give the Dems more seats. Otherwise it's just another empty promise. Despite having majorities in the House and Senate under Obama and now Biden the (D)'s haven't raised the minimum wage even once.
Nancy is more interested in her useless Jan 6 commission. Raise the minimum wage and maybe I'll consider a (D). Otherwise it's back to third party.
Because Republicans have blocked minimum wage increases for 11 years
