Getting the economy opened back up 100 percent and folks vaccinated is more important than a 15.00 federal minimum wage right now.
That minimum wage battle need to be fought at the state level as well. I'm more in favor of a regional minimum wage indexed to inflation.

I've paid union dues since I was 21 years old So NO PROGRESSIVE WILL LECTURE ME ABOUT GOOD WAGES AND BENEFITS.
I'm a realist.... if we had the 2009-10 Senate and house numbers I'll be LIVID about no 15.00 an hour.
We don't.
Adapt.

Dems need to show up in off year elections.
Illinois did in 2018..... It paid off.
We went from 1.75 over 7 years to 10.00 that the Republican offered us in 2015 to 11.00 after two years because of the Democrat.

We didn't give up.... we laughed at Bruce Rauner and fought his ass..... we got him on record VETOING 15.00 AN hour in 2017.

You take what you can get and keep scrapping.
If we can get 11.00 out of Manchin and Sinema and thry can get us to 60 votes....TAKE IT.

Besides, Dems don't just create jobs.... we create CAREER opportunities. The minimum wage is a floor...... we want to create careers that pay union scale where you don't go 100k in the hole going to school so you can make 60-100 grand.
Think big picture.
