Look, I'm all for raising the minimum wage, and if it ever comes across the ballot I would always vote yes. But this is such a shit take, of fucking course dress code is easier to deal with than the economics of the whole country. If you're going to critique the government, make sense at least.
Yeah, I hate how normalized these shit comparisons are for arguments.
One effects a few hundred people and doesn't really have much depth to it and is relatively inconsequential . One is extremely complicated involve a large percentage of Americans lives.
It's like saying "Oh look, Biden had time to make a Truth Social account but not stop the war in Gaza. Wtf"
I am not putting any opinions on anything besides how disparate comparisons have become..but the fact that these type comparisons are constantly repeated online does reflect a lot on Internet culture.
