Original: RE: https:// mastox.eu/@BernieSanders/11744 6235559866268 Serieus? How on earth is it possible that the US minimum wage

Bernie Sanders is circulating a post criticising the fact that the US federal minimum wage has remained at $7.25 for 17 years, including during periods of Democratic control. Commenters are comparing this with Europe, noting that the Dutch minimum wage now stands at €14.99 per hour, and questioning why American lawmakers have not raised the federal floor despite inflation.
